God is not LOVE

[David Dalton]

There are several ways of defining God, including:

1. God is all-powerful,
2. God is the personification of love,
3. God is the God of e.g. Abraham (a historical definition),
4. God is the creator.

Now you can't have both 1 and 2 at the same time since
all is not love (all is not perfect) and love is
obviously not all-powerful.

THe Nicene Creed defines God as the all-powerful creator.

I guess Genesis defines God as the creator.

I now have 12 separate deities (including Jesus as
the 12th-ranked for now) including the two top-ranked,
ALL and LOVE2. ALL is all-powerful and thus may be
the same as the God defined in the Nicene Creed.
But ALL is not perfect. I define LOVE as the
someone or something that is not a someone that
is highest in goodness measure as defined by ALL.
I define LOVE2 as the someone that is highest in
goodness measure as defined by ALL. Thus if LOVE
is a someone then LOVE2=LOVE.

Once in an attempt to relate my deities to
The Trinity I said that ALL is God, LOVE2
is The Holy Spirit, and Jesus is Jesus.
I still think that ALL is God and Jesus
is Jesus but I'm not sure about the
Holy Spirit. It could be that LOVE2
is ALL's love, or is the personification
of ALL's law (or recommendation) of love.

But for now I am no longer Christian, or even
Christo-pagan, but say that I am an individual/eclectic
neopagan or a polytheistic panentheist (since ALL
contains the universe defined as spacetime and
its contents).
