If you look in a mirror and see your image, you realize the image in the mirror does not physically have the properties as you, the human, do. It is an image or picture. You are human ans substantially more complex. It is the same with a photograph. If you see a picture of yourself, you know you, the person, are considerably more complex in substance than the image of you on paper...So it is with God. We humans are a mere image of God. God is incomparably more complex than we are, in ways I'm sure we cannot fully grasp. Can the image on the photographic paper fully understand the human it depicts? Of course not. There is no reason to think we humans can fully grasp the full nature of God, in Whose Image we are made. God is perfect light, love, fullness, wisdom, etc...I run out of ways to describe Him because I am only human. God is sinless. Humans are sinful. God is perfect. Humans are imperfect. God is all goodness. We humans can only strive after goodness. God is all Light. We humans can only contain a tiny bit of that Light at times...God is timeless. We humans have a birth and death on earth, although our souls do go on to live forever. God is Creator of the entire universe. We humans can sometimes take the elements God gave us and rearrange them to come with a new little something or other....Humans can only strive after godliness. God has that down pat, fully and completely.
