Well on this issue Thomas Aquinas was a unbeliever of the Biblical text.patrissimo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 10:06 amAgain...I do not imagine God. He cannot be imagined. Your question betrays an Epicurean tendency and presents me with a false dilemma. You clearly think that if even God Himself is not corporeal, then he must be nebulous or even nothing. I reject that false dilemma. God is beyond that. Here is what St. Thomas Aquinas said in response to your question"bibleman wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 10:01 amJust wondering WHAT is your VIEW of God. I mean do you imagine him as a person? a cloud? a spook? A piece of cold cheese?patrissimo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 9:02 am I do not believe in an unknowable God. I pray to God every day. The God I know is not like Zeus, a finite being with a location such as Mt. Olympus or the "planet" heaven. The God I worship is that than which nothing greater can be conceived which is the only kind of God worthy of worship.
If you don't believe what the Bible says about Him having a body... How do you imagine God?
"Corporeal parts are attributed to God in Scripture on account of His actions, and this is owing to a certain parallel. For instance the act of the eye is to see; hence the eye attributed to God signifies His power of seeing intellectually, not sensibly; and so on with the other parts."
"Whatever pertains to posture, also, is only attributed to God by some sort of parallel. He is spoken of as sitting, on account of His unchangeableness and dominion; and as standing, on account of His power of overcoming whatever withstands Him." - Summa Theologica I:Q. 2
So you have NO concept of God at all?
In your mind... when you pray... do you feel you are praying to a nothingness God?
I guess to you and Aquinas God is basically nonsense!
One thing is for sure... When you get to Heaven you will see how wrong you were/are when you see God's FACE!
Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
