The God seen in the Traditional Involutionary Inward Path is necessarily a distorted view of God precisely because in order to see this God the passions and materiality need to be rejected and extirpated, or torn up by the roots. The Way of seeing this version of God therefore becomes vital.
The Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC) takes the position that what is being seen in the Involutionary Inward Path when the passions are extirpated is the Soul or more deeply the Spirit, and this is defined as the Kingdom of God. What is missed in this definition of the Spirit is the evolutionary, material and supermaterial, Will to Godhood of the Spirit, and it is missed because the passions and the Will are left out of this view of knowledge.
To attain Godhood, the real God, the passions and the Will To Godhood must be brought back and applied in an Ordered Evolution to Godhood, not extirpated, so that we may evolve from the material to the supermaterial and on to Godhood.
This means that as humans we cannot attain pure objective knowledge of God (contrary to many religious traditions) and that God's completeness will remain incomprehensible to us until we evolve to Godhood. Meanwhile we can gain knowledge in as many forms as we can, as we evolve.
ECC does not reject the insights of the Traditional Involutionary Inward Path of the Revealed Religions, which is really the view of the Spirit, this in included in the Twofold Path as Tradition. But the Evolutionary Outward Path is required to attain Godhood.
