The Preposterous God

From a human point of view, the deity of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, can only be described as preposterous, absurd, and unimaginable. Consider that the Bible’s God creates the entire universe in an instant and out of nothing. Then He creates human beings who are able to communicate with Him. He allows evil to be present, gives commands, banishes His human creation for breaking His law, and promises to restore communion with them. This God is singular yet a Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a one in three and a three in one. Unexplainable to the human mind. This God dies, then lives, departs the planet, yet will return to end history and establish an everlasting kingdom where all those He predestines will live in communion with Him.

Quite preposterous!
