It is much more apparent that all the different views have their values and validity, their small piece of knowledge of the infinite mystery, and not just one.

If you recall, the original objection was that contradictory theses are derived by people using the same Scriptural texts. Now God may be infinite, but He is not contradictory. Some things are true and others are not.

Every opinion and thesis about God is not simply a matter of perspective, is not a partial view of a larger infinite truth.

Some of them are just plain wrong. Period.

For example, some people, using the Bible texts have found that Jesus is God, the He is the Second Person of a Trinity. Others, using the same texts, found that He was just a man, and not a divine being.

Now God is infinite and all, but these two views are not just different perspectives on the same reality, the same infinite Being. They contradict.

One must be true, while the other false. Either Jesus is divine, or He is not. There is no way that both can be true.

But the people who are denying that Jesus was not divine are not taking ALL scriptue literally. Jesus claimed divinity several times. What about the times God spoke from above while Jesus was on earth, This is my Son....
