M*W: I read your post, but it doesn't make sense to me. You said, "Every thing is less than God, otherwise God wouldn't be God as such."
Given God's omnipotence, how could creation be inferior to the creator? What purpose would God have in creating an inferior humanity?
Why make us inferior? Why would God make us as his equal? And it creation could be inferior to the creator(the carbuilder makes the car but that doesn't make the car his equal.)
Humanity is not "adding" anything to its creator. Humanity is the creator. God plus the human race is not equal to a lesser God or a greater human race. The human race is equal to God. God is the human race.
Then how did we create ourselves? obviously you believe in Evolution(which would also say that God doesn't exist), then wouldn't you argue that our existence is based on natural selection, et al not on ourselves?
If God is omnipotent, why do you think God "cannot manifest himself outside of who he truly is?" And if you believe God created you, yet you believe the human race is inferior, are you saying that God created you as some kind of sick joke?
God can do everything within his perfection, meaning that he cannot sin, be unjust, ignorance, etc. It can be better stated that God is "limited" by the fact that he can't have limits. A sick joke? No...God gave us life that he may love us, and that we may have fellowship with him.
If God "cannot manifest himself outside of his "perfections" (perfect creation?), "otherwise he wouldn't be be worthy of worship." It sure sounds like you are demeaning the omnipotence of God!
By perfections, I mean God is limited by the fact that he has no limits. He can not be finite, weak, naive, etc. I really don't know how else to explain it.
You fail to see that not only did God create humanity, God dwells within humanity. The Creator = Humanity--Humanity = God.
Going back to the Evolution thing which you profess. If this is indeed true, then can you point out to me an animal with morality?
