If we use the letter G to represent God, and X to represent an unknown variable, and the following letters to represent beliefs, we can come up with even more confusion about God with a simple equation.
If...
A=Baptists truth
B=Buddhists truth
C=Norse
D=non-existant
C=a mosquito
E=Muslim truth
F=in a volcano
G=an old man in the clouds
H=the word
I= Protestant truth
J=Mormon truth
Then solve for X, G=X
What is G?
It can't be done. God remains an unknown variable as G=X, the equation of God.
If we were to say G=H or G=A or G=F or any other specific solution we would be introducing a set answer to a variable of multiple potentials (X).
If presented with X we should not assume that X is anything other than simply X, but we humans like to have answers or create answers to fit unknowns. So we say that X must be something, rather than letting X be X.
Unknowns are unknowns. Unknowns can't equal knowns until information is presented otherwise. Assumptions and beliefs don't cut it.
