Definitions!

Okay, so now I am proceeding to keep all of my readers (need I ask for some?) posted on all of my thoughts from the Heart and Mind. So, here I go. To give you a brief thought to ponder on (because I have a class in five minutes and need to go in a hurry) think about this. Why do we define God? Is there any reason to? I think that we can all agree that we can only perceive God to the best of our human capability. But, why do Christians and more specifically, theologians, debate the character of God? Are we to believe in predestination. (Some extreme Calvinists argue that God goes as far as to discriminately seek out those He wants to redeem, while others, the "raprobate" are left for damnation) Are we to choose the open-theistic way for God? ("God doesn't know about or doesn't get involved in anything in our lives.")
Personally, I choose to be a mystic. I realize that there is no ONE way to know God. Because God is so sovereign and we know from human record what God has revealed to the human race about Himself (in which case, some characteristics contrast eg. compassion vs. justice), we cannot fully know what God is like. I'd be prone to just accept what the prophet Isaiah says speaking for God, "My Ways are Higher than your ways, My Thoughts are Higher than your thoughts." That's the full knowledge that we humans have of God my friends.
