Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.

I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Finite or limited power from the human understanding, and only YHWH God Almighty is infinite, Yes! considering the finite experience the infinite is only begotten son Jesus Christ and after 3 days in tomb and God rise him, and Jesus Christ showed his followers in 33 days before he going to heavenly kingdom. And Satan desperate to get him. Genesis 3:15. *Bones*
But can the finite individual experience the infinite as infinite? Or only as vast, but finite power?

Some people claim that we are product finite but limited power to create a work of painting, poetry, music, machine inventors and science,too. It's my opinion that's how finite power in other scenes and only as vast. And some books claiming that infinite belongs to myriad Angels and they are son of the living God of the Universe. And I believe in YHWH God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ has experienced in earthly life and he is great example of finite experience and he is infinite. *Bones*
Still, I wonder if we could experience the infinite in our finitude. I do not mean that we cannot experience God in some way, rather, that we cannot have an infinite experience.

How do you know God is infinite? Maybe His perfection excludes an "infinite" nature?
Infinite in character, but finite in nature?
How do you know the mystic is finite? And, if so, maybe that's what's wrong with him?
Signed,
The Disagreebler!
I see that I'm arguing with myself . . .
