Taste and See the Lord is Good
New Zealand ice cream is the best. It’s not that the ice cream we have in North America is all that bad, but it is not even in the same category for taste. We have more selection in Canada, but the quality can’t be compared. You wouldn’t believe how good it is.
It’s probably because of the fat content in the milk.
You can’t describe a taste. It’s subjective and unknowable without experience. God’s almost like that… not the subjective part – God made me, I didn’t make him. If I ceased to exist, he’d still be God. If he ceased to be, I wouldn’t continue. Neither would you. There is nothing subjective about God.
Where we, created; non-pre-existent mortals, disagree with one another, many times is the results of finite minds attempting to describe the infinite. I readily admit there are aspects of God I prefer and emphasize that another devoted Christ follower would choose to omit. That’s my limitation, not God’s.
It doesn’t mean he ceases to be the all-sufficient, all-knowing, everywhere-present creator of the multiverse because I am limited in my experiences in him and knowledge of him.
Nobody has the market on God. No organization has the fullest knowledge. It is the culmination of knowledge and experience
throughout time and around the world of devoted followers of Christ that gives us the greatest glimpse of the divine. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a personal relationship with him.
Until you experience his forgiveness and love, you won’t believe how good it is.
It’s kind of like New Zealand ice cream…without the fat content.
But don’t take my word for it.
Experience Jesus Christ for yourself.
Taste and see!

Yes, we know in part and can only speak or write of the part we know. You say you emphasize parts of God that others omit. Reminds me of the story of the blind man and the elephant, except that if we speak and write the part we know and also open our hearts to the part someone else knows, then we can get a fuller view of the “shape of the elephant.” I’m not sure how to get back to tasting from that, but we all have five senses and the inner witness of the Holy Spirit so that we can keep getting a fuller revelation.
David, good thoughts. We need to know the knowable God through all of our god-given senses.
