"Confucius," by an unknown artist, c.1770

Here's a quote from the ancient Chinese sage Confucius, speaking about "Absolute Truth" in almost exactly the same terminology that theologians would later use to describe God himself (an example of Paul's argument that the attributes of God are knowable even without the benefit of special revelation--Romans 1:20).

"Absolute Truth is indestructible. Being indestructible, it is eternal. Being eternal, it is self-existent. Being self-existent, it is infinite. Being infinite, it is vast and deep. Being vast and deep, it is transcendent and intelligent. It is because it is vast and deep that it embraces all existence. It is because it is infinite and eternal that it fulfills and perfects all existence."
