Is God personal?

Is God personal?

If we have mind, God has Mind.

God is personal because God is the Ground of our personal self.

The ultimate nature of our universe is personal.

Objection: “It’s perfectly logical calling God a person.”

Objection: “Does Scripture not present God as a person?”

Objection: “What about the three Persons in the Blessed Trinity?”

God makes contact with us and transforms our lives

God makes contact with us from the beyond within us.

God’s incarnation continues today in sacramental realities.

Religious experiences can be proved true or false by critical perception.

The validity of God’s incarnation can be seen in the effects on our life.

Objection: “If there is incarnation, why on earth? Why not somewhere else in the universe?”
