NotGod?

The movie, "Temple Grandin" is about how the person Temple Grandin overcomes/manages her autism and with the help of mentors and through sheer will power, goes on to become a Ph.D. Professor in Animal Science at Colorado State University. It is an amazing movie about an amazing woman. One of the things that struck my heart was that no matter how much one loved Temple, one would never be able to "connect" with her because of her autism.

One gets a glimpse of how God must feel. No matter how much He loves us, many times He simply cannot connect. One of the reasons this is true is because . . . .one of those rare, unchangeable-throughout-all-eternity truths is that God cannot deny Himself. For instance, since God is Truth, He simply cannot connect to Lie - He cannot deny Himself. He cares deeply for Lie, but He cannot connect to Lie. Truth is God and Lie is NotGod.

Definition: NotGod - anything God cannot connect to as a result of His undeniable nature. Sin might just be another word for NotGod.
