We have to see that the human person needs the infinite. If God's not there, if the infinite isn't available, the human person creates its own paradises, giving the appearance of 'infinitude' that can only be a lie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Eternal life and the invisible world are only to be sought in God. Only within Him do all spirits dwell. He is an abyss of individuality, the only infinite plenitude.
The fact that our task is exactly commensurate with our life gives it the appearance of being infinite.
We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.
God is the tangential point between zero and infinity.
Limited in his nature, infinite in his desire, man is a fallen god who remembers heaven.
Think of something finite molded into the infinite, and you think of man.
How can finite man commune with an infinite God? To both Christians and Jews, God himself has made that possible by irrupting into the temporal world. To Christians, God became man in the Incarnation; to Jews, the God that spoke out of the fire on Mount Sinai gave his Torah.
While there are corporal descriptions of what the afterlife is like in Christianity, Islam and Judaism, what's going on there is the finite trying to describe the infinite. If God knows everything, started everything and is the only one who knows how it's going to end, how can any human know what God wants?
The infinite God can not by us, in the present limitation of our faculties, be comprehended or conceived.
If God be an infinite being, there cannot be, either in the present or future world, any relative proportion between man and his God. Thus, the idea of God can never enter the human mind.
