The Use Of Doxological Language in Theology

Personally I dont believe in a 'God' per se, but i thought these questions were interesting, so here ya go:


What can be said concerning God?
Can language describe God?

I'm not sure what other kind of theological language you'd have...but,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the second question, can you narrow it a little, or is it intentionally open-ended: if so what do you understand by it?

Have you read Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit?

I meant like - the need for, and use of.

to be more specific. lol

and its deliberately open ended for discussion, like, do u think that our words are 'great' enough to desribe him, ie do u think that words that mortals created are to lowly?

and no i havnt. what is it? coz like i sed, i dont believe in god, i just thought the questions would be interesting for others who do.

But if its v interesting i mite go find it. i like to read, and im takin theology and philosophy at college reading

You may come across it studying philosophy, but it's really high level, it's a struggle to be honest.

My opinion on God (being someone who believes in SOMETHING, not to say it's one God or many) is that if anything, it just oversees stuff.

By that I mean, take the age old theory that God created everything. It obviously did it for a reason. In my opinion the most realistic is that it created MULTIPLE forms of life many distances away from one another, galaxies apart. So that it could see how each of them evolve and use their newly evolved free thought.

We have used ours to better ourselves continuously from our fellow man, for example. While admittedly creating and discovering some great things. Literature and art for example.

So, if it created us just to see how we act on our own, I don't see how people think he could possibly intervene with life on Earth.

"If God exists why doesn't he end world hunger and war."

My answer to that would be that if it does exists, it created us (if it did) for the purpose of seeing how we'd do on our own. No point in doing it if it wanted to just have puppets. I mean if it's powerful enough to create everything in the first place then it could easily create a perfect world.

That is my opinion to what can be said about God in general provided it exists and did infact create all that is.

I believe language isn't necessarily used by God if there is one. However I believe it created different languages amongst each race (Humans: English, Spanish and all the other languages) to see how we'd first of all interact with each other and then maybe if it gets that far, the other races in other Galaxies. Who knows.
