Document Summary
We could know something exists without understanding it through reason or intellect. Infinity has not odd or even numbers, but we do not need that to know it exists. The extensions of the finite is to exist in our limitations. God is infinite, infinite has not limit. Something that has no limit is incomprehensible to us. Therefore, we cannot comprehend god (because of his infiniteness) Only through faith can we believe in god. If there is a god, he is infinitely incomprehensible"; reason can decide nothing here". If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. " there is nothing to lose and everything to gain, by believing in god. Endeavor to convince yourself, not by increase of proofs, but by the abatement of your passions (desire). " (if you act to believe, you come to actually believe. )
