Then it seems that you are saying that God can be whatever we want Him to be. It sounds as though you are saying that man creates God. If that's what you think, do you think that man is more powerful than God?
As far as your little trick question for the priest, the answer is yes. God can do anything. Can he make a boulder so big that he can't lift it and then lift it and still be able to say that he created a boulder so big that he couldn't lift it? Yes. Do I understand how that is possible? No, but then again, I am not God.
As you say, we will never fully understand God. We can only listen to what he tells us and understand as much as we can. Someone once said that you cannot read the Bible with your mind. You have to read it with your heart.

Hi Dr. Boogie: My words express the complexity of this issue. I did say He was a concept a thought a feeling in the combination of my posts but I also said that He was shaped by one's faith. Those with blind faith are blessed
It is indeed difficult for some of us to come to Jesus as a child, as Christians are taught. I need to be honest with myself and I am not a hypocrite. So until and/or unless I can believe without any hesitation then I must continue to say possibly. I no longer struggle as much with this issue because perhaps one day there will be a moment of clarity, an epiphany if you will.
For those on this thread who are deep believers You are indeed very blessed
