That is probably one of the reasons we can't explain God well, we can only explain him using our logic and knowledge, but because he defies both of these we find it hard to explain such a being.Quote:

Christians follow the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, and Jesus brings the "new covenant", which is the purging of all human sins to make way for a more caring world and a benevolent God. I personally view Christianity as a way for non-Jews (gentiles) to work with Jewish law but with less restrictions.Quote:
