Seven Rules for Discussing Religion
1. Never attack someone else's beliefs. 2. Declarations of sincere belief are always welcome. And if you wish to rebut someone else's belief, then do it by expressing what you believe, NOT by pointing out which points of doctrine you find to be silly, erroneous, or misguided. 3. If you want to know what members of another religion believe, go to them and not to their enemies. 4. Always judge a church by its best members, never by its worst. Those who fail to live according to the tenets of their religion are not representative of that religion. 5. Leave room for divine envy. 6. Everyone has the right to believe or not what you are saying. 7. Listen (in this case read) for understanding, not to plan on what you will say to refute what the other is saying.

Is God unknowable? I don't think so. I think we can know him, but we can't know all of him.
I have been reading through the Gospel of Mark and I've noticed an apparent asymmetry in Jesus's ministry: sometimes he tells those he heals to tell everybody, sometimes he tells them to keep quiet. I don't know why. I thought about emailing an old professor of mine about it, but I think that maybe knowing God isn't knowing the answers, it's thinking about them (forcing me to think about God). That's how we know him. But again, we can't know it all. Even if I figured this out, there would still be something out there that doesn't jive with what I think I know about God. Then I would be forced to adjust my understanding to line up with who He really is. When you stop adjusting your faith, maybe, is when you stop believing.
At least that's what I think this morning...
