Are You Divine?

[Onyx]

Are you a divine being?*

*Disclaimer/Legal Boilerplate:
By your very ability to answer the question I would argue yes. I think people are a whole lot more than they sometimes give themselves credit for. Let us appreciate our individuality regardless of beliefs, and try to work together to accomplish our respective goals. We have all been granted the incredible gift of consciousness and our own will, with the inherent trust that we can be responsible in our explorations of this wonderful universe. Xeper.

Yea, I'm kinda with @1137 with that, divinity is a relatively meaningless word. Moreover, even if something is divine that doesn't make it useful.

I get it.

Are you a divine being?*

Only in the 'gee, that fella is divinely charming' sense. Much like I'm gay, but only in the 'what's he happy about?' sense.

You're setting the bar on 'divine' a little lower than I would, but I get your point.

Thanks for the interesting thread Onyx...

I agree "people are a whole lot more than they sometimes give themselves credit"....and with your statement

"Let us appreciate our individuality regardless of beliefs and try to work together to accomplish our respective goals".

While we are more than we often give ourselves credit for I would say we have the capability to reflect some of the Divine attributes of God.. just as a lake or a mirror can reflect the sun. We are not however the sun. God loves us and created us and we have souls that capable of advancement but we are not Divine... we are not God. We have the capability to draw near to God and humble our selves before Him.

Have a lovely day!

No, I'm not a God.

Divine, mundane, ignorant, enlightened, loving, selfish, pragmatic, certain, bewildered...

No, I'm not a God.

Can you prove that you are not a god?

 

[Papoon]

Can you prove that you are not a god?

Can you prove that proof is possible ?

Can you prove that you are not a god?

You can't prove a negative.

 

[Jeremiahcp]

You can't prove a negative.

Then for all we know you just may be a god. Can I have a million dollars and a hot girlfriend, God?

 

[Papoon]

Can you prove that proof is not possible?

So you can't.
Get that through your head.

Duh. You just don't get it. The proofs you ask for are not possible.
Learn to think.

It is amazing how aggressive you got. Are you really that threatened by me? I mean really you can relax, as I was just messing around.

 

[1137]

You can't prove a negative.

Sure you can, like I can prove I don't have cancer.
