	Unknown God
		In addition to the twelve main Gods and the innumerable lesser deities[?], ancient Greeks used to worship an Unknown God.
		In Athens, there was a temple specifically dedicated to that God and very often Athenians used to swear "in the name of the Unknown God" (Νή τόν Άγνωστον).
		When the Apostle Paul visited Athens he saw an altar with an inscription dedicated to that God so when he gave his speech on the Areopagos he told the crowd that he was there to talk about that same Unknown God.

		When God through Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt, he sent plagues against the Egyptians, all of which were attacks against their many and various gods.
		Wherever God is unknown, idolatry and immorality tend to prevail.
		Because God is not known, swearing, lying, killing, stealing and adultery break all restraints (Hosea 4:2).

		She was correct in that God was with Abraham and Jacob, and that they did worship God on that mountain.
		God was in Jesus, and through His son He had returned once again to the mountain where Jacob had served Him in the past.
		First, it was a “man sent from God.” Later it became “a messenger from God,” and eventually “an angel of the Lord.” Finally, the story became that that very spot that was blessed and destined to become a shrine for the Divine (rhyme not intended).

	Unknown God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition to the twelve main gods and the innumerable lesser deities, ancient Greeks worshiped a diety they called Agnostos Theos, that is: the Unknown god.
		The Unknown god was not so much a specific deity, but a placeholder, for whatever god or gods actually existed but whose name and nature were not revealed to the Athenians or the Hellenized world at large.
		The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

		God counterbalances the controlled permission of evil with a restoration of man to life and a contrasting educational experience with righteousness and its results.
		God promised to make a "new heavens and a new earth." This "new heavens" is a picture of Christ and his church as the spiritual rulers of mankind, and the "new earth" is a descriptive phrase of man and their new society of harmony and social justice for all.

		In the city of Athens it was easier to find a god than a man! Everywhere, down every street, in every corner, wherever a nook was found there was a statue of some pagan god or goddess.
		Though the Lord God has plainly revealed himself in his Word and in the Person and work of his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, the one true and living God is yet unknown to most people.
		They reject the revelation of God concerning his Son, refuse to be saved by the merits of the crucified, risen, exalted Son of God, refuse to bow to Christ the Lord, and refuse to be saved by grace alone.

	A Higher Aspect of Contemplation part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Even the formless God is an “idea” created in our own mind as an archetypal ideal to help us describe an unknown God, obscure, remote, and outside of us, that remains an abstract thought in our mind.
		That is why all thoughts and ideas you have of an unknown God will always belong to the world of duality, meaning that the world in which everything that you conceive and feel is first projected outside of you so that your intellect can recognize and absorb it.
		Simply that any description we may have of God, be it contemplative or otherwise, with or without form, belongs to a world of duality where object and subject, observer and observed, challenge each other incessantly.

		If God depends on letters, words and thoughts, on all the material ground of the thinking organism, if God as Absolute is a synthesis of human and transcendental, he is really not absolute.
		God is so, that His determination is in a thought His denying, His non-existence.
		When we speak of God, we say that the last and the ultimate is standing right at the opposite end of that, to what we have come the furthest.

		Paul wrote to the Gentile Thessalonian converts: "For ye, brethren, became followers of the Churches of GOD which in Judea are in Christ Jesus" (I Thessalonians 2:14).
		Either your entire New Testament is a fraud and must be rejected or the true name of the true Church is "the Church of GOD!" "God" is the "Family Name" of the Divine Creative Kingdom.

		God hardened his heart, and will judge him for doing that which he was forced to do.
		God grant that we may faithfully witness, in our renderings, when God reveals an absolute fact concerning God and His purpose, and when it is only a temporary process, for this He has clearly indicated in the ancient manuscripts.

		And on uncertain gods; but that, too, is only Roman superstition. Furthermore, uncertain gods are not well known, because no certainty about them exists; and because of this uncertainty they are therefore unknown.
		If God was unknown and concealed, He was overshadowed in such a region of darkness, as must have been itself new and unknown, and be even now likewise uncertain—some immense region indeed, one undoubtedly greater than the God whom it concealed.
		As, therefore, it is two gods which are the subject of our proposition, their essential condition must be the same in both.

		But a no less important task is the "human or social ecology" that John Paul II describes in the encyclical Centesimus Annus: the responsibility for a world of values without which man cannot reach maturity and human civilization remains an unfinished structure, a place of confusion like the Tower of Babel.
		God's worker is one who works with a sense of responsibility for his task.
		Even in the Aeropagus of today the Church must patiently look for the "altar to the unknown God," and, by remaining close to contemporary human beings and their questioning, proclaim the closeness of the Lord.

	ALTAR TO AN UNKNOWN GOD... WHICH GOD DO YOU FOLLOW?
		The choice for the Christian God is not a matter of external rules and regulations but a matter of the heart.
		Humans have always sought a loving Creator God: when the apostle Paul traveled to Athens he found an altar with the inscription “to an unknown god” (Acts 17:23.) Government cannot mandate which God citizens will worship, but human nature is such that humans will seek God.
		Perhaps the mention of God offends those who choose not to believe because even they have built the altar to an unknown god” despite themselves- that they question their unbelief.

		To date, no such altar inscription has been found, either in Athens or any place else (though a mutilated 2nd-century inscription found at Pergamum, in modern Turkey, is sometimes interpreted to include the words "unknown gods").
		Thus, though archeological evidence is lacking, literary evidence is conclusive that there were, indeed, altars at Athens to unknown gods;probably not to an unknown god.
		The most picturesque explanation for the existence of these altars of unknown gods is that given by Diogenes Laertius (200-250) who recounted that, in order to relieve Athens of a plague, Epimenides (ca.

		God’s love is different from other kinds of love in that it seeks to give and not to get; it seeks to satisfy not some need of the lover, but rather the need of the one who is loved.

		It is not a sermon, it is an argument based in classical logic to make the case that the god whom these Athenians seek is in fact the God he has come to know in Jesus Christ.
		And this God has placed within the human soul the earnest desire to seek after holiness in all things.
		Luther declared that the mother who teaches the child about the goodness of God, who is the shepherd of all children, is as much a doctor of the Word of God as is the archbishop of Mainz.

		As seen lately in Why Freewill and explained by NT Wright in God Is Not Univocal, I continue to use the lower case "god of Jesus", because it emphasizes that in the very radical Christian belief system we actually know nothing of "God" except through the man in history with the name Jesus of Nazareth.
		As we start to do that, if we could all grasp just how unknown the God we're arguing about is, the tone of the argument would surely change.
		Jesus also taught that how much we finally see of God will depend on our obedience to his words and faithfulness to his example.
