Dear kosta, let's just cut to the chase here. It appears the central problem is you have closed your soul against the Author of your own being. In so doing, you have also detached yourself from the Logos, divine Truth which is the basis of human reason

What good is that when they tell me that he transcends human reason and logic...

Then you write to justify your rebellion against God your Father, and are evidently trying to recruit others to join you in apostasy.

Can you substantiate this? I never called anyone to join me in anything. This is not just reading my mind but imputing my motives, an accusation. Why? Because I don't think like you?

I respond to what people tell me about their God. I call on them to prove their presumptions. That's not recruiting them to join my "apostasy."

I have disagreements with what people make God out to be. You will never see me ridicule God per se. I don't hate God. I don't deny that God could exist like so many atheists do. I simply don't know.

Where is my "sin?"

To say that God is susceptible to "proof" is to commit apostasy in the first place. He is not subject to human judgment in any way, shape, or form.

Which is the entire point of the observation, "Man is not the measure of God."

Plus God is not "my" (or "their") God. He is One God expressing as three Persons eternally, universally. And the Father calls His sons and daughters into communion with Himself, in and for love. He sacrificed His only-begotten Son to make this relationship possible, post-Fall. And His Holy Spirit He freely provides to effectuate that relationship — to those who will open their souls to Him.

At least, this is my understanding.
