"the word "personal" in the English language has specific meanings. IN FACT you're whole little diatribe revolving around the idea IS TO MAKE GOD PERSONAL in the sense of "a person"..."

Words can be used in different ways depending on the context. In this case you are dishonestly using the definitions that have to do with Human beings to answer the question: What is the nature of the Divine being called God. This question came as a direct result of you claiming that the nature of "god" (sic) was an impersonal force while at the same time claiming to be a Christian. I have quoted sources from your own Catholic Church that clearly show that your denial of the personal nature of God is a heresy at best.

You continue to dishonestly claim that the idea that God is personal is my own idea when it is clearly taught in scripture and is the official position of the vast majority of Churches including your own.

Here is an itunes audio link to an advanced course on "The History of Philosophy and Christian Thought" by John Frame. The last 15 min of the first lesson and the first 15 of the second makes the point that the personal nature of God is a distinctively Christian concept.
