I think you are trying to apply "human rules" to God" Everything people say about God (forgives, loves, cares, wants, regrets, is jealous, etc.) is applying "human rules" to God. Who decides when these rules don't apply?

Everything people say about God (forgives, loves, cares, wants, regrets, is jealous, etc.) is applying "human rules" to God. Who decides when these rules don't apply? But these are not "human rules," strictly speaking. These are self-revelations that God makes to us which are indicative of divine nature or character. They become rules for us in the fact that we are made in God's image, to be sons of God.
kosta, there are times when I wonder whether you think God was created in the image of man. Even in the image of a particular man that would be you.
You'll get nowhere fast with that presupposition.
JMHO FWIW.
Again, thank you so much for writing!
