One word to describe God
 
If you could give me just one word to describe God off the top of your head right what would it be?

Awesome.

And not in the flip way that it's used these days, but the true meaning of the word. Awe-inducing.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

According to Wikipedia that is the longest word in the english language in a dictionary. God is just that big :)

The Word "Huh?" would also suffice.

Well not for you! But it is the best and most succinct word for my relationship with God. Surely it's no secret that he confuses me!

No, you have that mixed up. God is not confusing you, you are confusing yourself. He is not a man that He should lie - He is not the author of confusion, so please don't place the blame at His feet. It makes you look agnostic. LOL!

Incomprehensible is more adequate, I think.

Yeah, I'm sure she didn't - like - not even way back on FCF. LOL! It's sounding like a broken record. LOL!

I must have a spirit of confrontation, because I seem to cause it even when I'm not trying!

To be fair, on FCF, I still believed in God, and the Bible & the 3 steps, I was just questioning standards. By the time NFCF rolled around, I added tithing and Pastoral authority and well as mandatory church attendance to the list. It wasn't until AFF that I left church completely and became the heathen I am today.

For the record, I will accept both DM's Incomprehensible, and Pel's the essense of Awe as adequate substitutes.

PO, I know I annoy you on my good days, so I will try to tone it down for the next few weeks! :)

Well, you might want to note that this is supposed to be an Apostolic Forum. So, your tag line, that you are so happy and willing to display, speaks that you aren't getting the attention you desire from your agnostic forum boards. Just sayin'...... :D

I'll let others compete for the "Most Compassionate and Understanding Christian Award". I'd rather say that you are a grown woman, you know the Word of God and you know better. If you are where you are now, it's of your own design. God does not forsake someone that hungers and thirsts for righteousness. I'm not going to share the depths of hell I have experienced to prove my point. Needless and fruitless pandering is not one of my strong suits.
