AboutSuzanne Gerstner Expertise I can answer questions on all aspects of the Baha`i Faith, but am most interested in the spiritual teachings of this and other Faiths, and the interconnectedness of all religions. I believe that true religion should bring about love and unity. This is what the world really needs right now and the Baha`i teachings have a lot to offer on this subject.
Experience I've been a Baha'i for the past 23 years and have been answering questions on the newsgroup soc.religion.bahai since 1998.
Education/Credentials BA in Liberal Arts; Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and am currently working on an MA in psychotherapy.
Question What do you think of the idea that God as unknowable and impersonal, that some world religions purport, is contradictory to the personal God of Monotheism?
Answer From the point of view of the Baha'i Writings, God is both a personal God -- in fact we were created to be His lovers -- and yet He is unknowable in His Essence. Can the creatures ever really comprehend the Creator? Yet He is the radiance of our hearts, and nearer to us than our "life's vein."
