<The direct revelation that Christians acknowledge is the bible> Yea, looked there... it seems god as person isn't described in there. <I gave you a clear definition of "Person" months ago.> Yes, and it fits what I described as god (previous post) fine. Since you haven't described anything, it may or may not fit your idea. Maybe that's good, everyone goes with their own intuition. <Look it up. You always hide behind definitions when challenged.> Challenged? Didn't see a challenge there... in any case anyone who looks up (personal) finds nothing about God. As for 'hiding'... what's to hide? You are the one that seems to think "personal" is really important as far as God goes... so one normally would explain himself if one is to assert something. I don't care one way of the other. <You are the one who started this by initially asserting that as a Christian, you could believe that "god" was simply an impersonal force. They cannot!> Again, since you can't describe "personal" or "impersonal" there is little to discuss. All I can do is point to the dictionary and say: "God is not the person in there"... that's for sure. Further God's communication methods certainly go far beyond a "persons": <<Revelation may be defined as the communication of some truth by God to a rational creature through means which are beyond the ordinary course of nature. >> (From the website you linked) Hmmm, beyone speech for sure... so your assertion about no "force" being used seems empty. Seems to me that as long as there is information exchanged it would fit the Catholic definition of "personal", but you probably know better... we may never know. DAK
