I agree we can't overwhelm Him. He is the one who gives us His peace that passes all understanding.

Yeah, but I don't think that's to say that He has or had His share of problems. At least when He was a man. Also maybe as a spirit as well. It has to go along the lines of what I was just writing in my story. God as DJ is talking about how everybody always thinks it's so easy to be God until they look at the world through His eyes and sees what He sees. God has a tough job and even though He always makes the right and good ones, He doesn't always have easy decisions to make. Hence all the suffering that He went through for us on the cross.
Look up.
K, I think I understand then, cause when I looked up the definition of overwhelmed it was putting too much than one can handle. As if God couldn't handle us or something, but if you meant it differently that would make sense.
It means we cannot put God into a box with definite length, height and width. God can do the undoable including manifesting the frailties of men as we see in the man Jesus. God never sinned. Jesus never sinned, but Jesus was tempted and expressed pain or joy as we express pain or joy. God the Spirit expressed those things apparently, but no tears of water nor laughter carried by sound waves. How do we feel God? We can feel the pain and joy of Jesus the man, because that is also the way we feel, but in the Spirit how much and how often do we feel or perceive or react or manifest as He does?
No box for God so we should not even try to decide what its dimensions [length, height and width] are?
What is infinite? What is eternal? Being human we can try to describe them but we cannot really know, can we... except that God put them into our hearts?
Maybe overwhelmed was the wrong word,.. more like stressed. And if anybody here still doesn't agree with me that God has a tough job,.. then let me ask you just one question. Would you want it? Cause I certainly wouldn't. Uncle Ben from Spiderman had it right, with great power comes even greater responsibility.
Yes I think he gets worried, angry, and other feelings. But he knows a lot about the future and knows how everything will play out. I personally think He can save anyone he wants, we just have to want to be saved. So does he really get concerned about our salvation? Maybe if we don't care about it.
