Well there you go. I’m on board with this.
I am very resistant to grounding conception of God in platonic or philosophical defiitions. God is not a worldview. He is not merely a “mind” or a “designer.” Instead, it seems central to our faith to ground our definiton and knowledge of God in Jesus.
In my understanding we are not even essentially “theists.” It is more that we follow the God we find by Jesus, and as are essentially followers of Him. This has some weak analogy to a philosophical definition of “theism”, but is not well described as “theism”. That is why I say I am not a “theist.”
Thanks @deuteroKJ. That was really helpful. What are your thoughts on: The Creative Word Made Flesh?
