I could careless of limitations for the sake of this argument. How can God fit into several religions? I do not think he can.

Everything exists in a box, doesn't it? If brutally murdering someone is wrong, then doesn't that mean that limitations exist, and these limitations can be defined as a type of boxing in? The idea that God would have absolutes established for his children only makes sense, so to that extent, sure, God puts his creation in a box.

Sounds like double-talking to me.

BBF, the books of the world could not contain all that could be said about God, however what He has CHOSEN to reveal to us is in His Word, it is sufficient. You can call it a box if you would like, but your issue is with God not me. Your god exists only in your mind, as you have stated.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (Psalms 138:2)

If your god is fully described in the Bible then it sounds like your god lives in a box.

He is the God of the Bible. He has given us His written Word and we will stand to be judged by His Word, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." (John 12:48) which He has put above His own Name. "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." (Psalms 138:2)You are correct, God is too big to be put in one religion, because all religions are false. You must *know* God personally, the relationship can ONLY occur through His Son, the Lord Jesus the Christ. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)

I agree we will not fully understand who God is and all of his characteristics, at least in this life.

If your God is limited by the things you mention, your God is only as big as you can think. I believe God to be bigger and more complex than we can imagine. I agree that God will be what God is, but I don't think we can fully know what that is.
