Which of the following is one question that arises if you believe God is transcendent?

A) "How can you know of God's existence, and how can you relate to God at all?"
B) "How can you believe in the unity of God?"
C) "Could something happen that would threaten God's existence?"
D) "Could God create a rock so large that God Himself cannot lift it?"

Transcendent

Independent of. In the philosophy of religion, a transcendent God is one who is distinct and separate from the universe he created. This is contrasted with the concept of an immanent God, for example, in pantheism, where God is identical with his creation, or, to take a different example, in certain forms of humanism, in which God is identical with humankind. (G. W. F. Hegel argued such a thesis.)

Existence

Refers to the state or fact of being real or living, or of being present in a particular situation or under specific conditions.

Relate

To relate means to establish a connection or association between two or more entities, concepts, or people.

  • Contrast the transcendent and immanent understanding of God, discussing their influence on religious beliefs and experiential aspects.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
If one believes God is transcendent, it means that God exists beyond and above the material world. This raises the question of how one can know of God's existence and how one can relate to God if God is not a part of the tangible world.
