THE NATURE OF GOD

Image
Thomas Aquinas one of the great theologians asserted that from what is observed logically, there must be an unmoved mover. This was a justification of what was earlier put across by Aristotle, the philosopher. For the believers, this is what we refer to as God but of course, different religions give him different titles. Bearing in mind that we have atheists, Agnostics, and pagans, this reflection focuses on the believers.  In the world of today, the problematic element is on the nature of God. Different ministers have tried to elaborate on this notion but still, the level of understanding is the same. To understand the nature of God both in the New and Old Testament, one needs a historical, philosophical and theological eye. However, divine illumination surpasses the mentioned three. The danger in today’s world is that the understanding of God has been based more on emotional circles and not intellectual.
