>I haven't researched about that enough to answer, but could you explain a bit what do you mean by that?
It actually plays into my answer to your next question:
>Well, He has to send a message somehow in order to advise humans. Written text seems like the ideal mean to do that.
Written text is the ideal way to do so for a being of limits, who is bound by the rules of nature.

God, manifested as the transcendental being, has no such restrictions. It is beyond the need to communicate meaning. It can convey ideas preemptively, and in any unorthodox manner (and the need to do so does not exist for God). Whether it is intuitively from one's birth, or upon inspection of the very fabric of reality. God can be found in the most gruesome murders, just as God may be found in the most graceful works of art. You needn't even know where and how to look, nor do you need the intent to look. God does not even need to "speak", it may come to you completely a priori. It is so completely beyond everything, that attempting to predict it or assert a necessity of any kind goes against the nature of what God even is. There is nothing that happens that God does not will. The assertion that one can act against God does not speak of God at all. It's the result of a doctrine, trying to push an agenda. It's a wooden puppet, a stand-in for God, to try and convince one to act according to the puppet-master's intentions. God made the agenda, and knows how the agenda will influence everybody it comes into contact with. Whether it works or drives people away, it was already known and intended. God's dogma is reality itself.

Everything there is, was and will be is utterly trivial and arbitrary to God. Any and all engagement with the material is without predefined reason, only reason that God willed there to be. Does God actually concern itself with your diet? Does God truly care if you blaspheme against it? Does God wish for anything? To answer yes to any of these is to de-elevate God. And that's at the core of it, pulling God down to our level.

If you truly want to know God, the first step to doing so is understanding that giving God personhood is insulting from our perspective. This is not to say that it is insulting from Gods perspective, God doesn't care. To understand why both of these are true simultaneously is to come to the very basic grasps of what it means to be omnipotent.
