I don't know if it's my inability to focus, my tiredness, the constant use of complex words or stress in trying to finish all my assignments before Monday but I honestly don't know what is going on in the mind of David Hume. I understand that he is attempting to understand the aspects of God and see if by nature alone he can come to salvation. If this is the case then why? Is it not enough to just believe? I can understand why he wants to know everything about everything because I am the same way. Recently, however, I am starting to understand the importance of not knowing. 1 Corinthians 8:1 says that knowledge puffs up while love builds up. This entire dialogue is three "people" going at each other trying to figure out who's right. Listen, it's ok for aspects of God to be a mystery! In fact, that is exactly what he wants because it gives us more of a reason to love Him! This is the same with so many Christians in their understanding of denominations. They think that being baptized is a requirement for heaven or prayer is required or even good acts but thats not it at all. All that is required is that you truly love God and ask forgiveness of sin. (Luke 23: 39-43)

I can't understand why Hume would want to understand the aspects of God either. If he knows that God literally cannot be fully comprehended, then why is Hume even trying? Does he just really want some science behind his belief? But if the answer to that last question is "yes," then why does Hume even believe in God in the first place?
Belief is mainly about faith and trust. If you just have faith, and you just trust that what God says is true, then your belief will be solid as a rock.
