immeasurable

[posthuman]

i thought it would be interesting to put together all the things scripture calls immeasurable; that perhaps we would learn something by looking at them and trying to understand what this means.

i'm just going to try and list them for now; please add whatever you think of that i miss

so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

If you think about the many truths set forth by God......God is past finding out by man unless God reveals himself unto man

That’s a interesting thought, so what would be the immeasurable part of that.

MAYBE not so much immeasurable, but rather just simple past finding out.......Romans/Corinthians are clear....NO ONE SEEKS, CAN KNOW or UNDERSTAND in their natural state......it literally takes divine intervention and enlightening by GOD.....God said....to WHOM will you liken me or to what will you compare me to....the answer is we have NOTHING we can compare GOD to and or LIKEN HIM TO....

So....by the very nature of being past finding out....he is in essence immeasurable........

Indeed God’s essence is quite immeasurable though if you seek God with your heart in a rightly way.

Psalm 89:6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

Proverbs 3:15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Isaiah 40:18To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

Isaiah 46:5To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?


Mark 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

Amen

Or immeasurable as in; he is of one mind and always does whatsoever his soul pleases

The bronze articles for Solomon's temple, mentioned several times, are noted as beyond measure:

1 Kings 7:47 Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

2 Kings 25:16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the stands which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight.

1 Chronicles 22:14 Now behold, with great pains I have prepared for the house of the Lord 100,000 talents of gold and 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond weight, for they are in great quantity; also timber and stone I have prepared, and you may add to them.

2 Chronicles 4:18 Thus Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

Jeremiah 52:20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight.

[crossnote]

Ephesians 3:19 (KJV) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

That's a good one...to 'know' that which passes 'knowledge'. IMMEASURABLE

A giant multiple vectors wit the magnitude of infinity, if we scale for average, Hebrews 13:8 same yesterday, today and forever. And Phil 2 Jesus is God by divine nature, yet out of humility ...


I see what post human is thinking, to better understand God, and such knowledge can be pleasing

Even an atom of God is fully God for he transcends math, math is a small glimpse

Ln(inf)/ln(finite) = infinity

This equation can be repeated infinitely, regardless of how big the dividing finite number can be

How can math from physical world comprehend the spiritual?

Jesus shed blood, infinite cleansing / finite blood = even a blood cell of Jesus can cleanse infinitely, is heaven made of his blood? If blood or water refers to the holy Spirit, is heaven made of the Holy Spirit? Yet Trinity, incomprehensible!

 

[theanointedwinner]

Genesis 1, the power to create!

 

[theanointedwinner]

Or the holy Tabernacle, the holy of holies, plenty of rituals are performed, maybe a small glimpse of God = a portal to His presence

God is not comprised of atoms.

Atoms are merely physical things God created.

Yes, I agree. God has no beginning and no end.......... that sounds immeasurable to me.......

Kinda like the numberline...... I think God's Love is immeasurable......

His Wisdom, His Peace, His Knowledge, He has no end................ yet, He sets things in motion and order for set times, seasons and purposes........

Yeshua/Jesus called Himself the Beginning and the End........
but, He has always been with the Father...... and is One with the Father.....

Yeshua/Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith...... perhaps this is why He refers to Himself as the Alpha and Omega......

Yes, like dc said, God is immeasurable.

 

[theanointedwinner]

Mature seasoned Christian are a small glimpse of Jesus

God is so immeasurable, we can only understand him by glimpses
