God is...God!


What does "God" mean?

God means a being who is all-powerful, all-knowing, unchangeable, all-good, all-holy, and is present everywhere.  He is without limit, so there is no limit to His ability to track absolutely every human, animal, insect, grain of sand, particle of dust and molecule. He holds everything together, down to the structure of the atom, by the word of His power.  Since we are not like that, we tend to mold Him into something finite, limited and corrupt, like us.  But, if He is truly God, then...

Why would anyone need to burn a Koran?
If God needed it to be burned, He would do it.  He doesn't need our help.

On the other hand, Allah is supposed to mean God.  If God is God, (and Allah is Allah), then, if someone needs to be killed for the sake of God, He would do it Himself.  He doesn't have some sort of weakness where He needs someone to do it for Him.

I serve a God who is God, not someone who is limited in some way.  He needs nobody to kill for Him nor burn a Koran for Him.

What an insult to Him for me to think otherwise.  I'm glad that He is a God of love and mercy, not fear and hatred.
