There are as many perspectives on
the nature of God as there are people.

the nature of God is an unanswerable question.

Perhaps the nature of God is so complex and multifaceted
that each view of God describes an aspect of the complex whole.
Or perhaps the nature of God is actually defined by our beliefs.

I can only make myself unhappy by trying to second guess
what anyone else thinks or does.

or your communities opinions, rather than your own.
Those beliefs that withstand rigorous testing,
should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

A man bears beliefs as a tree bears apples.
