The Only Omnipotence
The Platonic theory of remembering God through creation makes me weary of Plato's teachings. I do not agree that we are beings that have the capacity to really know who or what God is. If life was just about remembering what we already know then how can some people not recognize God when He is so apparent in His creations? With God's blessings we are drawn to him and if we seek him through prayer, godly people, biblical teachings and other tools we begin to learn and understand the ways of God. If we know everything, how can we separate God's omnipotence from our own? I find this to be so unreasonable and somewhat comical that Plato's theory puts us on the same level as God in our capacity to understand His ways and reasons. As His creation we are to trust and obey His commands, not try to understand why He gives them or if they are right. If we are diligent in our search for the right paths, if we pray for his guidance and ask questions about his teachings it shows God that we want to know who He is and that we care about Him. He will not always bestow us with the knowledge that we seek because only He knows what is best for us. We should not be anxious in our ignorance because God is the Only Omnipotence who loves us and cares for our well-being.
