modermen: Of course hes a male,a woman never built or invented anything ever.


Well, basis of this computer and telecomunications and IT was invented by a woman...


Basically you are communicating through a system invented by a female.


To be a modernman you have no idea about "modern" stuff.

tomcatwarne:
The interpretation of the bible has taken on a patriarchal bent because that was the societal way at that time.

It is a red herring, it doesn't matter weather God is male or female and whether the bible is patriarchal or not. There is much human wisdom written in it.

Don't get sidetracked by these small arguments , read it and get what you can from it.

The answer to all our problems today (twas always thus) is in the changing of the human outlook on life, no political creed can do this, it can only come from personal realisation, and this does not go against any science that I know of.



True... interpretation of Bible might "change" according to current society... Science doesnt, either its right or wrong... but doesnt need "interpretations".

Im not sidetracked by small arguments , I have read Bible , quoran and a little more just to get a PERSONAL idea of what I believe is right and wrong. And for me, Bible , Quoran , religion in general it's not even not necesary , but absurd.

The fact that humankind has been brainwashed for the last 2000 years makes kinda difficult to "argue" or "debate" about religion. But I respect your view. Not easy to get rid of that.

Considering Religion is the guilty of many deaths in "the name of God" I dont see the point. I try to be a good human being by ACTION , not by praying or claiming to believe .


For me , theres no POINT. And no offense but I think you're the one sidetracked by small arguments. "God exists just because" it's one of them.


Have a nice day. wine

Well I respect your opinion as well. Don't get rattled, not very scientific.

But although I am a scientist I realise that science isn't always right or wrong.

A lot of science is an opinion.

Newtonian science was considered the absolute at one time, now we know it is not there are other discoveries which show that it is not an absolute truth. And so it goes on new truths discovered all the time.

I understand that as an engineer you have to believe in certain things but who knows what future holds in scientific discovery.

Take the higgs boson, it may explain why we have matter in our universe, I guess you never even wondered why. and why should you. But some scientific minds do wonder why and are trying to resolve this.

Good luck to you I have some papers to prepare.

I don't claim to be a scientist. Just to have a personal oppinion that would be valid even if I didnt have education at all.

Who told you I never wonder why and how and why? Simply god doesn't go with that explanation same as Santa Claus doesnt explain Christmas.

From your side, taking offense on someone elses oppinion just comes to prove that you are sidetracked and can't accept jsut that someone thinks different than you do.

If I could solve all those misteries I would have probably got an Nobel Prize , and nope I havent.

Have a nice day.

Antjo39: Just asking...


Well, much of the ancient scripts that have been compiled into the book known of the bible have been translated and sometimes the translation does not come over 100%. Add to this that the meaning of language changes over time (modern greeks have no idea about the meanings in ancient greek language for example) and this complicates things also.

But taking all this aside, It is written that God created both male and female in his image. So what does this mean? What is the image of God?

We see that there are various references to God nurturing just like a mother believers and his chosen race of people. We also see the reference to birth by God given as well. Then we see Wisdom (an atribute and name of the Holy Spirit) portrayed as feminine, not masculine.

It says that God is one, but we know that there is definitely Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit. So how can this be one God? To me it is easy. One family unit comprised of at least but not necessarily only 3 distinct intelligences with their own unique personalities.

Suffice to say, that there is a lot to try and explain. But I believe that God the Father, is definitely male or masculine by nature of being a father. God the son is definitely male or masculine having been born male, but God the Holy Spirit - I personally believe to be feminine or female.
