It occurred to me that it might not be wholly futile to explain the flaws in your post:
1. There is no reason to suppose that all that exists resembles objects of sense. However, our imagination is composed of sense objects in very permutations. Therefore, it is quite possible to conceive of something one cannot imagine.
2. On the other hand, it is sometimes helpful to use analogy to clarify a concept, and we have little choice but to make analogies with things in our experience, and therefore speak in an metaphorical manner about some things.
3. By definition, and whether or not He exists, the Western conception of God is one of perfect Being, without deficiency, without either extension or location, without succession or duration, prior to the universe, yet related to the universe in an eternal moment. Since He is perfect, everything He is, does, and knows is fulfilled in one "act of Being". Whether or not it is true, it has various conceptual implications, for example, that God did not create the universe out of need, but out of a sort of "full heart".
I hope this helps, but I am not confident....... |
