Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Conceiving God as ruler, lawgiver, king, merciful or just applies human traits alien to God's nature
Drawn from what Baruch Spinoza said
What Baruch Spinoza actually said
- Baruch Spinoza Dutch philosopher (1632 to 1677)
Wherefore he perceived these things not as eternal truths, but as precepts and ordinances, and he ordained them as laws of God, and thus it came to be that he conceived God as a ruler, a legislator, a king, as merciful, just, &c., whereas such qualities are simply attributes of human nature, and utterly alien from the nature of the Deity.
