Sagdi lang:
One of the questions in my previous post within the "question and answer" portion was based on the angel's affirmation to Mary ( Luke 1:37 ). that in God nothing is impossible.
Question: If God is Almighty, and nothing is impossible for Him, then does your ( catholic/christian) God makes round square?
The first time I heard this question in Freedom Park ( Freedom Park is in Cebu city) I watched closely how Catholic answered such a stupid question. They have very witty answers. Someone answered: Do not relate man's stupidity to God. in God everything is in order and He shall not entertain illogical questions etc... But as I observe it seems that all answers will sum up to not entertaining illogical questions like this. But for me, giving those kind of reasons are just a roundabout way of escaping the question. And if I were to be asked, I'd answer yes God can make the round square. If he ask me to show how God's it looks like, I'll ask him also , that if he let me do the task of God in making round square as an example, then I'll show him ( just an example on how God make it) Otherwise if he will not let me, he will never see how round square look like. The moment he let me, then I'll start sketching any sort of form in the paper give it to him, and tell him that, that is how round square look like. If he summon stupidity things I did, I'll tell him not, perhaps the stupidity is in his question, cause if you do not believe God why keep asking God's authority in making all things possible. Why? Is he expecting something square or round, while he ask round square form? Perhaps what will appear in any sort of form is God's prerogative, and it is no longer in the form of square neither round but to the combination of the square and round and remember we (catholic /christian) do not question God's manifestation.
example:
a) orange and yellow = yellow orange
b) black and white = gray
c) square and round = round square " it is no longer square neither it is round "
Others:
When the Catholic says that there is God, that we ( catholic /protestant/ christian ) believe every manifestation of God, that in God lies a mystery , and His ( God ) work of art and fashion is so deep that common human intellect would hardly understand, does it mean that catholic teaching does not assert the truth, cause it teaches something in-comprehensive even to their belief?
When John ask his friend Sam if he knows Peter, Sam answered "
Oh ! Peter ? I could hardly understand him, his moody, one time he's okay, the next time you'll find him not."
Does Sam answer expresses that he knew Peter less ? Of course not. Instead, his answer proves that he knows well of Peter.
When we (Catholic) affirm that understanding God is beyond human knowledge, it is a catholic self-proclamation that we know Him ( God ) well. That we adhere and rely God's transcendence and authority. That we know our limitation in dealing God's supremacy .
