To Say ‘God Is’ Is a Denial of God

A man reflects on Rupert’s previous meditations, stating that while ‘I am’ is his direct experience, ‘God is’ feels like a belief, not firsthand knowledge. Rupert agrees, clarifying that ‘I am’ refers to the direct, firsthand experience that being is infinite. If we say ‘God is’, we imply that God is separate from ourselves. This makes God an object, and if God is an object, God must be finite. To suggest God is finite is to deny God’s true nature. Therefore, the statement ‘God is’ subtly asserts a limitation on God and becomes, in essence, a denial of God.
