>>23476581>But you don't see anything like this in Judaism. It's not about some figures, but all about God's law.>>23476583>>23476584i assume anons from all three major abrahamic religions are present in this very thread so i'm going to use this opportunity to open up a deeper discussion about theology and mysticism.
who or what is God?
how does God relate to us if at all?
does God visit us in the flesh or is God separate from this realm?
>God as (superhuman) avatar in the flesha God that lives through us and with us and does sometimes appear in human form to teach lessons or just for fun. krishna spent an entire life time among mortals and even built a city, the greek gods interbred with mortals to create demi-gods like hercules, Odin wandered the earth sometimes testing a mortal's wit, and God incarnated as Jesus to teach us forgiveness. this kind if God acts and speaks directly (through stories) and is very relatable but can be easily made fun of by spiritual enemies because being human is often not very dignified.
>God as non-human entity beyond realityfor those who are less concerned with values like virtue and forgiveness a God which is "untouchable" by spiritual enemies is more important. this kind if God is channeled through word and letter. the disadvantage is that this kind of God may appear inhuman, distant, arbitrary, and detached from human life and that one needs arcane and occult methods to divine God's will, aka one needs rabbis studying scripture to figure out what God wants. the books themselves often become an item of worship.
in reality God is all those things at once because God is everything and all.
