God Takes on the Form of the Good

Neither Aristotle nor Plato believes that the power in nature is invisible and not physical world or eternal existence. Due to these invisible forces, what we call philosophy is actually the second philosophy. Plato is one of the greatest philosophers in the world and once had groundbreaking ideas. He came up with an idea of shape. These formats are perfect and immutable. Everything that exists exists from a form to get different qualities and use them to create your own shapes and purposes.
For example, Plato's formalism, especially the concept of his good form, is "summarized" into the Bible's idea of the Bible. This means that God himself plays a good form role in Plato in his philosophy. In addition, the shape of Plato has been redefined as sacred heart by Christians, and internalizing them into God means that they have no independent and independent existence other than God. Well, the biggest difference between Christianity and Plato at this point is that Plato's good shape is a subject of non-personality, but God is personal. But this also brings some advantages to Christianity. For example, areas of various forms of Plato can be internalized as God as his idea, making the final reality easier. God's personality also means that God can act, create, and can not even create, unlike the form of goodness.
But Plato's "form of goodness" is not itself a god. Remember, it is universal non-personal, unconscious, it is just an abstract universal good. It has no plan, will or consciousness; it exists only in the formal world, and everything is working hard. To actually draw out God from Plato's good shape, you actually have to do two things - giving up "o" and adding personality (this will soon be done)
In Platonism, God can be thought of as a form of goodness, that is, as the ultimate shape, ideal, essence, or prototype shared by all good things, and a higher form of beauty than other forms of shape . It is true, beautiful, and wonderful. (This is not to say that God is just a form of goodness, God may exceed beyond itself, even beyond all categories.
God's creation testifies the beauty, order, love, goodness, purity of God, especially before fall. After the fall, Jesus Christ brings grace in the form of a man (John 1:14), the truth about God's unpopularity and sin entered the world. Through the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the universal revelation of the god of the world is a specific revelation. God reveals his divinity to the fallen people through the mantle of the flesh and reveals his character through the words and actions of Christ. The Bible teaches that God is good. "Because the Lord is good, his love can endure forever" (Psalm 100: 5). According to Psalm 54: 6, "This is a good thing, Lord, I honor your name," the name of the Lord is synonymous with good. "You are very well, you are doing very well, please tell me your order" (Psalm 119: 68). Only God is good. When Jesus answered a wealthy young man who called him "a good teacher," Jesus confirmed this. Jesus said, "Why do you call me a good person, no one is good, except God" (Mark 10: 18)
