God in a Box Paradox

This paper introduces the God in a Box Paradox, a critique of classical monotheistic descriptions of God. The paradox arises from the tension between two claims: (1) that God exists beyond logic and reason, and (2) that God can still be meaningfully described in logical terms such as “infinite,” “eternal,” or “uncaused cause.” If God is inside the bounds of logic, then contradictions apply and His definition collapses. If God is outside logic, then all descriptions of Him lose meaning, rendering theology incoherent. Thus, either way, the concept of God as traditionally described cannot avoid paradox.
