So wait,<\/p>\n

God is one god\u2026 but three in one\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Father. Son. Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Singular in nature & character, but yet plural in person.<\/p>\n

Distinguishable yet indivisible\u2026?<\/p>\n

$\"mind-blowing_1454\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah me too.<\/p>\n

This is pretty much how I\u2019ve felt every single day I\u2019ve been here in seminary.<\/p>\n

Though one thing has helped a ton, a quote i read from a guy named J. Gerhard he said that, \u201cwe know God but we do not comprehend Him.\u201d Meaning, God cannot be defined, or ever fully understood. He\u2019s incomprehensible, yet through divine revelation, that being the power and given knowledge of the Holy Spirit, God and Jesus Christ, are revealed to us.<\/p>\n

As limited as our knowledge and capability to comprehend the Holy can be, I still think we must try, we must seek, and in our effort that is when we find and encounter this\u00a0divine revelation,\u00a0<\/em>that being Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t know, I guess I just want to encourage those that are frustrated, discouraged, and doubting God or the existence\/understanding of a \u201cdivine being\u201d to keep searching, asking, talking, praying and seeking\u2026 You\u2019re not alone in this, I\u2019m right there with you in the confusion of it all.<\/p>\n

How do you guys deal with the frustration of understanding (or lack thereof) the nature and character of God?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
