Why have we underestimated God?

God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. In other words, God is everywhere, super powerful, and knows everything. But, as human beings in this world, why have we underestimated God? What have most of the religions of the world done? They have made God into a man and limited God’s power to that of a human being. But is God truly only as powerful as a human being?

God created the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds, the animals, and the flowers. Can you imagine the power of God? God created the earth, its rotation and revolution. In fact, God created the entire universe and also the power of the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets. God created millions and millions of living creatures. God created you and me. God created our human body with wonders of the eyes, the ears, the nose, the head, and the heart. Can that God be underestimated?

The power of God is beyond our human imagination; it is beyond our comprehension and what have we done? Just for the sake of being able to identify God, we have created a picture of God, reducing and limiting God’s power in a way, thereby grossly underestimating that power that we call God.

It’s time we realize that God is beyond our wildest imagination. God is bigger than our biggest comprehension. Our lens, as I say, is too small to take the picture of God. A million lenses put together cannot take the picture of God – it is that large! God is that powerful!

Let us learn to not underestimate God. Let us realize that God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent, i.e., God is all-powerful, God knows everything, and God is everywhere! While we may see God in the image of man, regardless of our religion, let us learn to see God as a power beyond man’s wildest comprehension.

If God is so far beyond what we can think, we have no way of knowing God. The god of the three Os does not account for suffering and evil in this world.
We overestimate God.

Is God beyond what we can think…?

Can god count all things?..
An >instance< is not the same as no time, it can be a moment in time, which if eternal encompasses all. You need to consider things beyond micro and macroscopic logic of maths, these are what i call ‘the upper level’ of existence. The lower level cannot be considered in the same way, it is a place without rational cardinality or cardinality et al. First there is an existent eternal e.g. Take the universe and call it circle 1, and that which existed prior to it [probably another universe or reality of some existent kind], and call that circle 2. Now picture two circles, and note how they must reasonably exist within a third encompassing circle, such to denote a reality which can hold both. No matter how many instances of universe or cardinal items [things, particles etc], you always end up with an encompassing circle ~ a total reality.

Now consider quantum positions; we have a situation where a particle can be in two places at once, and where all quantum ‘states’ are co-related/entangled. You cannot reasonably apply the same logic as pertains to finiteness of the upper level [particles/objects], because they specify distinctiveness/cardinality. Now, if we strip out that logic, we can only arrive at the fluidic position where we are thinking about reality as an entirety = the eternal!

This is not singularity, it is not the collection of everything [see my thread; ‘everything cannot exist’], not a set or aleph omega set of things, because there are no things at the lower level. Ergo, that there is an existential eternal which encompasses all, and achieves that in a ‘single’ instance, is a necessity!

Conclusion; where everything is within the totality/eternal, it automatically knows where all cardinal points of the upper level are, because they are within its metaphysical constitution. It does not have to count them all one by one or as collections, no counting occurs yet everything is known in the instance of totality.
