BK Week 13 Lesson 1

What are the 2 analogies used to describe the 'incomprehensibility of God'?

• "Bottle and Ocean" - the finite simply cannot contain/grasp the infinite

• "5 blind men" - this refers to how man cannot know or understand God

• "Baby talk" - God speaks to us in a kind of lisping way so that we can understand

• "Man and the Sun" - we can know God fully even though we do not see Him

We are finite creatures while God is an infinite being. So, "the finite cannot grasp (or contain) the infinite" doesn't mean that we know nothing about God, but our knowledge is partial and limited, falling short of a total or comprehensive knowledge.
