I don't think the attempt at non contradiction has been successful. You've gone back to a 'within' a 'without', and restricted yourself to 'what is'. There's also, 'what's not'.

We can't avoid contradiction. It's even vital for us to have contradiction. Whatever definition or explanation we may have about 'God' can only be valid and true if that 'God' is contradictory.

For example, only a contradictory God can be merciful or loving, or even all powerful.

Yes They did. But a woman came as an after_thought. To keep company the Man who They had created in their own image.

Pray tell; in whose image was this 'after thought' made?

And who were 'they' and where were they meeting to discuss all this?

I just had to laugh!

@AlphaDoti You have gone a great deal trying to expound on what you think of my understanding of matters religion and concerning the nature of God. First of all we seem yo differ since you look at this topic from a Muslims perspective and from the teachings of the good book Quran which i have not read. My understanding on this is based on the Creation story found in the Bible which i read along time ago and if my memory serves me right, the Man was created FIRST. So stop being all emotional and instead help @Wakanyugi understand why is God reffered to as HE.

...

I'm glad you ask me this very good question. That's the spirit now. Learn.

The answer is that Allah (God Almighty) has no gender. Why do you refer to a car as "SHE"? Why do you refer to a ship as "SHE"? Why does God refer to both female and male as "MAN"?

So God does not have animal attributes of sexual needs. He does not need wife. He does not give birth. He does not have sex. Hence He does not have a son. God creates! Whatever He wills, he just says it, and it becomes!

So even the concept you were taught while you were young that God beget a son is false. In fact that verse has been expunged from the Bible, because it was a fabrication

And I hope you see the REASON?

And by the way, Islam teaches that there is only one God. There is no "Muslim God", "Christian God", or "Jewish God". There is only the One true Almighty God who created the universe. The God of everything, living as well as non-living. The creator of all humans, me and you, whether they call themselves Hindus, Jews, Christians, or Muslims.

It is only the concept that varies. So I'm happy when you ask me about the concepts.

@kiki, don't raise up your hands to learning

One more point I would like to know is that Islam is not a new religion. It is no an invention of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Actually it is the religion of all prophets from Adam to Noah to Abraham to David to Jesus to Muhammad (peace be upon them all). So the name "Islam" is Arabic word that meas total submission to the Will of Almighty God.

Also, Islam approves of all the prophets of God. Islam also approves of all the scriptures of God, from the Torah of Moses, to the Psalms of David, to the Gospel of Jesus, and finally the Quran. All these scriptures, use "He" to refer to God.

Unfortunately, people get the impression that God is male. God is only One so male and female does not arise. Later on, human concepts like father and son in Christian theology was borrowed from Mithraism religion. St. Paul, when he went to the city of Tarsus, which had a long history of Mithra worship.
Paul was so eager to win the Gentiles, so he deliberately incorporated beliefs of the Mithraism into his gospel of Gentile Christianity.

Learning is infinate but you @Alphadoti have NOTHING whatsoever to teach me.

I have always avoided urguements with people who have been brainwashed by religion. Since its impossible to reason with them. Islam will never be everybodys religion. You need to accept that and move on.

Its okay to defend your faith but its not smart to go trying to convert everybody.

Islam of all religions has its flaws. Alot of them. But what do i stnd to gain from such an urguement?

Every man has a right to profess whatever faith he wishes. And every man must have his opinion. He who tries to deny the other that right makes a slave of himself to his present opinion since he precludes himself the right of changing it.

Soo @Alphadoti be content with what your prophet Muhammed teaches you and let others be.
