OneGod,
These are indeed very interesting discussions, and that was the reason for my last post, asking that you understand that I need to discuss Islam from the perspective of the Bible, as it is my world view and all I do, all I read I do because God is the Lord of my life, and my understanding of the world, will always be through that faith filter. I cannot stop being myself, even when I read about other people's faith. It's impossible to do that, and even you do that each time you read and then reply to a post. I do not want these discussions to become something we cannot be honest and open in, and my concern that you didn't like me using the Bible to base my questions on, was also from the desire to see them continue.
But anyway, back to the subject at hand...
When we say that God in unknowable we mean that we can not describe his physical nature because it's just simply beyond our capabilities of comprehension. what we know of God is his good attributes which includes justice, what we know of God is that he is simply the only God and can not be divided or described in any way, spiritualy or phisically. SO when you go declare him to other nations we simply declare him as the true creator of the universe
Neither of us would disagree with this at all. That God is above all things is something we both hold dear when it comes to an understanding of our faith. That is why, when Christians say that God IS HOLY, we are not just saying he contains holiness for that is dividing Him from His nature. When we say God's glory is Himself, we mean that no outside source needs or can give Him more glory than He Himself already is, for He alone contains and is totally glorious.
Now when you say this
WE know him that he is the only God with all the great attributes that he gave to himself in the Quran.
I am assuming you are meaning that He told you about in the Qur'an rather, than He "gave them to himself". I know it's a play on words, but it needs clarification, for if we believe His attributes are who He is, then they have existed as eternally as He has.
Now, I have read some commentators who state that only some of Allah's attributes are eternal, others are not. Could you describe your understanding here please? I would like to discuss the attributes of Allah in my next post, but need an awareness of Him from your perspective
Blessings and peace
