The first great activity of the infinite Spirit is knowing, with us this activity involves an immensity of change, learning what we had not known, forgetting what we had; in both cases the change comes from our finiteness in the one case from ignorance in the other from a defect of memory. But God knows all things merely by being God, and there is no forgetfulness of him. His activity of knowing is at once limitless and changeless; He is omniscient.

His other great activity is loving; and that again for peoples involves change, waxing and waning, finding new objects, losing hold upon things already loved; here again the change come from our limitations God loves with infinite loving-power; no loss possible; no increase conceivable, He knows and loves with infinite intensity, and this is not stagnation but measureless vitality.

God is all-powerful too. There are no limits to what He can do, no limits to what He can make. The most powerful person cannot make anything of nothing at all. He and she needs some material to work upon, and in the absence of material his and her power must lie all locked up within him and her and not use-able. That is a solid limitation, and God lacks it. He needs no material-he creates.

"Can God make a weight so heavy that He cannot lift?" asks the unbeliever. He and she feels and has us cornered. If we say yes, then God cannot lift it; if we say no, then God cannot make it. (The reader might do well to pause here and think out how he and she would answer this). Our reply is that God can indeed do all things, but self-contradiction is not a thing. God cannot make a four-sided triangle, because the terms contradict each other and cancel out. A four-sided triangle is meaningless; it is not a thing at all, it is nothing. A weight that an almighty Being cannot lift is as much a contradiction in terms as a four-sided triangle. It is too nothing, And (to give an old text a new emphasis) nothing is impossible to God. Because God is infinite, there is........................

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
