It's the difference between a person and a concept. When referencing concepts, the writer uses 'it'. Which is perfectly o.k. and not disrespectful.

You know what? Our "concepts" -- our worldviews -- are intended to come from God, Himself. From Scripture. If God's "concept" of Himself is not an "itself" then why even bring such a confusing "concept" into the picture?

It's bad enough we have to deal with Hinduism and New Age & some cultic thought that presents God as an impersonal force, let alone deal with it when it's carted into the Christian community.

Let's not provide them with additional cover for covering up God's PERSONAL nature!!!
