Question

THIS IS RELIGION PLS HELP why is it important for jews to understand the characteristics of God

Answer 1

Answer:

To conclude, the characteristics of God provide a foundation by which Jews can look up to and mimic behaviour and develop good morals. They can come to understand and appreciate God, particularly as he is unseen, and this allows for them to be able to believe without question e.g. God is all knowing. G-d is all knowing and has a purpose for the world. This gives people faith to believe in God and wait for the Messianic Age to come, and have patience in God’s plan. However, it can be argued that there is no real point in having being taught characteristics of a being which can not be seen. With characteristics, some may argue that the concept of God can still not be understood, and the idea is unclear, particularly as the descriptions are supposedly by God himself, in which many Jews do not believe, as they are culturally and ethnically Jewish, rather than religiously Jewish.
