responding to Nerd's prev. post: yes, we have essences. No essences are knowable; the knowable, which is acts [btw the OC does not accept the RC formula that 'God is pure act'], deeds, relationship, and narrative, is under the rubric of 'energies'.
@Postodave: not to know that God is a person is not to accept a very basic part of Christian understanding. Am i misunderstanding you here?
The rules of logic are a secondary matter; the biography is primary. The data are the moments of encounter. We can build and elaborate on these, especially what Christ said - and we have - but any time the syllogistic constructs occlude or contradict the *story*, they are amiss.
Apocatastasis Now!
