The Infinitude of God

As the school quarter comes to an end, I was recently cleaning out some binders, and I came across a paper I had written a couple of years ago. As I reminisce over the topic, which was the infinitude of God, I thought it would be nice to share a piece with you and see what you think?

Our actions are limited to our own biological nature, and our thoughts are limited by both the biological, and the physical laws of the universe. These limitations, of course, come from the fact that we were created. God is also separate from us in spiritual essence. He is the spiritual and the spirit; therefore, everything spiritual is God. As humans, we are not the spiritual, and the only thing we can do is try to imitate God’s perfect spirituality through our actions. Whenever we try to define God, we often find paradoxes and contradictions which arise only because we cannot understand God’s existence as different from ours. We cannot and usually refuse to accept that he can be more because we do not know and cannot be more. Since we cannot and do not know how to be more, the paradox, then, shifts from God to us. How can we know and try to explain God as more, if we do not know what more is. Such act is as foolish and contradicting as trying to read a book never written, or trying to fall down while laying on a flat surface. Therefore, God can never and will never be a contradiction, and if we think he is a contradiction happens only because we cannot accept that we and our thoughts are the contradiction.

          God is. God is love, compassion, anger, power, creation, time, space, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The answer to our problem has been found. We cannot understand God as infinite because we want God to be how we define Him with words, but always ignore to acknowledge that He is what we think and much more. Since God is everything we can say he is, and he is much more than what we can think him to be, and since God cannot be measured in any way with any unit, and since God is separate in every way from beings that are imperfect and limited, and since God is the ultimate creator and all things that exist only do so because of him, then we are only left with one logical conclusion; God is all. God is Infinite.
