Then there is the Human mold, I believe , and that is not God either.
In fact , is not God part of the Unknowable?
Therefore , no mortal human can claim knowledge of the nature of any god , and all we have to go on is the effects of the creation and what can be learned
from visits to the Unknown. That is my interpretation only, I admit, being that to label God as this or that is Absolutism , or even Legalism?
Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. OK, whatever is unknowable can't be known, so, even if there is some aspect of God that is unknowable, we
would never know about it. Whenever we encounter the unknowable, there is no way to understand what it might be, we can't identify it as God or not God
because it is unidentifiable as anything. Here's another problem, if you want to understand the "unmanifested" side of God, you better hope it
ain't unknowable, because that would be impossible to understand. "Unknowable" is a trick of language, it cancels out its own meaning.
