Article 1: God


This is the current draft of the first paragraph of a paper I'm writing. I may have written myself into a corner... 

To describe God in any adequate manner, we would have to be God. Any attempt to describe his characteristics, or explain his motivations, would immediately do him an injustice by its insufficiency. God is One, and he is three. God is eternal, and he is always present. God is the Creator and the Destroyer. He is Love and Wrath. He is unknowable and yet he has made himself known. This is why our God is so incredible; this infinite God has put himself into words and flesh so that we finite creatures could know Him. And in that moment, we also know that we cannot comprehend him. That is why we worship.
