GOD AND INFINITY

1. What is God?

R. [I]"God is the Supreme Intelligence, the First Cause of all things."[/I]

2. How should we define infinity?

R. [I]"As that which has no beginning and no end."[/I]

3. Can we say that God is Infinity?

R. [I]"In this case, your definition is incomplete. Unfortunately, human language is incapable of expressing ideas that transcend human intelligence."[/I]

Discussion: [B]In perfections God is certainly infinite. But God is also more than Infinity, and we make an error in logic when we equate the two. A quality possessed by a being cannot, after all, be considered identical do the being itself. Furthermore, "Infinity" is an abstraction. To define something unknown, like God, by reference to something equally inknown is, once again, to make an error in logic.[/B]
