What the Bible Teaches About God.

1. God thinks and reasons. See Isaiah 1:18 - "'Come now, and let us reason together,' says the LORD, 'Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.'"

God thinks. He does not just think about the Good, the True, and the Beautiful as Plato taught. God does not only contemplate himself, as Aristotle thought. God knows about evil, and He knows about our sins. Unlike what some of the Hindus teach, God knows about the world and it's existence. God thinks about the world, and wants to help individual people live better lives.

Reason and rationality are natural attributes of God. See John 1:1 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

            Word = logos (in Greek). Word = logic or reason.

Aristotle taught logic, the rules for reasoning rightly. But God does not just contemplate himself, as Aristotle taught, when he called God "the Unmoved Mover".
