Does God Explain Anything?

What does God explain? Can God explain God?

I would imagine that God can explain absolutely everything that God is responsible for having created.

However, as man created God, we'll have to leave it to man to explain God.

Okay, everybody feel free to bash me. That was my humour for the day.

Sorry to disappoint you, EH, I will not bash you. You can say what you believe, even if we don't agree.

I think God/dess has the ability to explain what ever s/he wants. But I think somethings we are meant to find out on our own; it has more meaning that way.

bash, bash, bash....

Actually, why wouldn't God want man to explain Him? God might be waiting for this very thing, that we would come to understand who/what is behind creation, and realize it is also a part of us.

What good is the "key to the mint" if YOU don't use it to open the door? What good is the Holy Grail if there is nothing in it to drink or YOU don't put it to your lips? I can't give YOU UNDERSTANDING. I can't teach YOU UNDERSTANDING. ALL I can do is explain it.

If I was explaining to YOU how to play the piano, I couldn't teach YOUR ear the pitch difference between an F and an F#. This would BE something YOUR ears would need to PROVE to YOU. I can explain why the pitches are different, but I couldn't teach YOUR ears to hear that difference. As for sending YOU home with a piece of music to play, I AM certainly not going to practice it for YOU! After ALL, I already K(NOW) how to play the piece because I already put MY practice in. Besides, would you feel any more talented or accomplished on the piano if I did do ALL these things for YOU? Do YOU UNDERSTAND what I AM getting at?
