How can we truly understand God if the knowledge we possess is not completely reliable? In order to have a true understanding of God, we must have knowledge that is unquestionably trustworthy, which can only come from His divine revelation. When God declares His sovereignty, we must wholeheartedly believe in this divine knowledge. However, I believe that Calvinism, as a theological system rooted in the teachings of Paul, allows for a God who is absolute in His will, power, control, and love. Nevertheless, I do not believe that Calvinists truly experience the absoluteness of God. Despite the mystery that is inherent in the revelation we have received, why would we doubt the absolute nature of God as a being? I want to clarify that my previous post mentioned the mystery surrounding God. My main point is that His word, as a form of revelation, is absolute and can be fully trusted as the ultimate authority in all aspects of life. I was responding to your statement about a perceived lack in God, but I am asserting that what He has revealed can be believed absolutely because God Himself is absolute. It seems to me that you are suggesting that what the Bible says about God should not be taken as absolute truth, yet you are resolute in not being dogmatic about what He has revealed. Perhaps I am misinterpreting your perspective.
