Response to Claims of Literary Communication
The discussion revolves around the assertion that if God communicated through literature, it leads to varied interpretations and potential misinterpretations. This perspective suggests that a tri-omni God would either lack the power to convey an unambiguous message or would ignore the resulting confusion among readers. However, it is argued that written literature allows for community engagement and deeper analysis of God's messages over time, fostering a relational aspect of faith rather than simply presenting information. This method of communication cultivates not only a pursuit of knowledge but also the building of relationships within Christian communities.
