Capturing God?

Throughout history, many have tried to "capture" or control God by blending humanity and divinity or making creation part of God’s being—an idea rooted in paganism and certain mystic beliefs. Yet, Scripture and the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D.) firmly teach that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man, united without confusion or change, but humanity does not become divine. Instead, believers share in God’s grace and fellowship (koinonia), not His essence. Attempts to find God primarily through the church as an incarnation or through mystical personal experiences distort true Christianity and risk pagan errors. True communion with God is by grace through Christ, growing in faith and obedience—not by commanding or capturing God through human means.
