I have not posted for a while (ok lets be honest I got out of the habit of reading the book and have missed the last few chapters) so I want to slide my Ch10 comments in before closing time tonight. Anyway, this was interesting. I have not thought much about the extent to which we will be able to understand God's character throughout an eternity with Him, the idea that Grudem puts forth here that even then we will never understand all of God, but will learn more about him constantly (maybe it is asymptotic) is interesting.
The way my mind works, I have wished that we could know more of God, but the important piece to remember is that God has revealed (and continues to reveal) everything that we need to know about him - his character, love, and plan for salvation. In his infinite wisdom, God has realized that there are some aspects of himself that we either don't need to know or are incapable of understanding, or both. The more I think about it, I am glad that we don't know everything about God. Complete knowledge of God would take away some of the beautiful mystery that is our faith. Sometimes not knowing really is better.

Mr. Tim Mast,
I could not find any of your contact info here on Blogger or else I would email you versus leaving you this comment. I thought it fitting to leave the comment on your Intentional Christianity blog because I am going to ask you for a favor (from one believer to another). My mother and I have a real estate team located out of Los Angeles by the name The Mother And Son Team; whose acronym we use to represent ourselves (TMAST). I would like to add a blog to our website using Blogger and tmast.blogspot.com would be perfect. I noticed that your tmast blog is not active yet, and that it seems to be a blog for personal use (family photos, events etc.). If you don't mind, do you think you can switch the name of the blog to something else freeing it up for our use.
If not, I understand. I just thought I might ask.
Respectfully,
Michael Kay
