Your job is to respond to the following statement: “It is not possible to describe what God is like”.
Suggested structure:
- Intro: What is the statement trying to say? Why is there a problem here?
- Agreements: Why might people agree? What reasons might give to say they can know what God is like? eg. We know from the Bible, the person of Jesus, experiences of God, miracles…
- Disagreements: Why might people disagree? What reasons would people give say it’s impossible to describe God (even if God exists)? eg. You can’t describe in human words that which is outside of everything we know, God is completely different to everything we know; analogy doesn’t stretch to God (“my dog is good” is not the same as “God is good”).
- Analysis: What are the strengths and weaknesses? Which side is most convincing? Why?
- Conclusion: What’s you opinion and why?
Good luck! This is due next Wednesday (24th November).
Please email me if you have any questions…
