Oh? And what are your assertions based on? Mine are based on reason which is supposedly what your God gave us so we could understand and be able to discriminate reality from fantasy.
You say what God has done is intrinsically contradictory. I say the seeming contradiction is reconciled by the part of God’s will that we don’t know—the part we take on faith.
So are you saying you really don't know but (for some reason) are hoping that it is so? How is that a "reconcilliation"?
Here’s an analogy: A father limits the amount of television his five year old child can watch, in the interest of the child’s mental development. He says “Someday you’ll understand.” The child doesn’t know all the facts and can’t comprehend the logic behind the father’s rules, but the child understands that there are things the father knows that he, the child, doesn’t know.
Except that his father is real and yours is presumed. You have no proof that this analogy is valid. It is an assumption lacking any evidence, and must be taken on faith alone. How convincing is that?
The child also knows that the father is doing the right thing, but his knowing this doesn’t depend on knowing all the facts behind it or comprehending the principles involved.
How does the child "know" the father is doing the "right" things if a five year-old doesn't know right from wrong?
A five year old does know right from wrong.
