God is ... ( Archived) (142)

My DAD is alive and kicking..... not easy being gods boy you know



If I had a penny for every time I was asked to do that wine trick...........



that wasn't me that was one of his other boys

"thou shalt not read and or vote without posting"

There is no label...

In us and the source? seems contradictory orla. I agree in part for myself but have trouble with the contradiction. For discussion's sake (in anology) say it is water and the source is the sea, it is still ALL water?

actually god as a client might be a worthy description, in an all inclusive sort of way.

It is difficult for sure to pen an understanding but if spiritually evolving to this truth is a factor then questioning is the catalyst.

hi trish. . so lets not link the thought. ... and stay within the bounds of god alone

and ... what do YOU want him to be?

I voted and read so now I will post.


I picked number three.

I once debated well enough with an Anglican bishop and a Jesuit that they agreed that he might be her.

Too bad I forgot the argument I used.

I consider god to be completely separate from religion. We are the ones who need something to believe in, something to worship.

God may or may not have created the Universe and all its contents but I suspect mankind created religion because faith was just too big a jump without the symbols.

this wouldn't work well for a wine lover in the cellar looking for his/her fav livation ...

so what do you mean , there is no label,... no characteristics? no qualities? or no name label?

.. I knew you would point this out to me..

Can I put it to u this way.... the source of electricity is a generator... the electricity is not the generator(although it is part of it and created by it).. While we share in Gods spirit and energy and he is the source of this.. we are not him.... my flatmate believes that we are God also.. or more that we are co-creators.. I still have to give this much thought... but somehow it just doesn't fit for me.. I think he gave us free will and in a sense we create our destiny, this is a special gift bestowed on us which does not appear present in other members of the animal kingdom.. and I think free will is central to understanding God (or the Universal plan) and unlocking the mystery of why we are all here..., but I think when it comes to the universe and all that is in it.. including us.. I believe that he is the source..

much like trish's sentiment, so lets eschew the religion aspects and delve into just the god presence.

do we need to believe, or to accept, or just be?

A figment of many peoples imagination.

To try and understand God/Allah is beyond our own ken. We can only understand the human mind, examine nature, but we can know God only through His creation.
Instead of knowing Him in terms of images and shapes, we know Him in terms of names, attributes.

The corruption of love comes in its expression. The beauty of the heart is disfigured when words try to describe it.

youre paychic! then you could have saved me the trouble of asking



Ok, I gotcha. So here's something to think about, as I do ... you need energy to make a generator, yes?... ya I know its a chicken and the egg conundrum; but ..

I also think, as opposed to believe, that plants and animals have some freewill as well, though it would seem some of their actions are 'conditioned' and so we too behave in conditioned ways. Does a tree turn its leaves to the sun because it wants to or because it knows where life is?

I mean sometimes I wonder if they are not more evolved than us, in a sense that they accept and naturally turn to the life giving force without question, while we MISS that factor ... making sense?
