Huh??Even if you believe that the universe is God, this doesn't mean that the terms are equivalent.

Huh??Even if you believe that the universe is God, this doesn't mean that the terms are equivalent.
Because when people say things like "the universe is God," they act like they're trying to express something meaningful... i.e. that calling the universe "God" expresses something about the universe that wasn't captured in the term "universe."Why not?
Even if you think that the universe is God, if someone said to you "the universe is not God," you would understand the terms well enough to explain why you disagree.Huh??
Yup. Are you agreeing with me?OTOH, if the terms are equivalent, then a statement like that would be nonsensical.
No. Try reading for comprehension.Yup. Are you agreeing with me?
god is love
we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
I try, believe me I try, but it gets all comprehensed and I don't seem to be able to separate the meaning from the words.No. Try reading for comprehension.
So if someone said to you that they believe that the universe is not God, you wouldn't even be able to make enough sense of this to disagree?I try, believe me I try, but it gets all comprehensed and I don't seem to be able to separate the meaning from the words.
I would know we speak different languages, that makes it tough.So if someone said to you that they believe that the universe is not God, you wouldn't even be able to make enough sense of this to disagree?
So if everyone knows love, and if god is love do they worship it? And if one knows the Spirit of God do they know themselves as loves?
Hebrews 8:11
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
So if everyone knows love, and if god is love do they worship it? And if one knows the Spirit of God do they know themselves as loves?
You say all emotions are love, even those that are not?to feel anything is to feel something of emotion.
I can't agree.to feel anything is unlimited, consciousness is infinite.
I think 'everyone knows love' is a stretch. Conflating God and love also appears a stretch. Love can also take diffferent forms, so so there is that.
On balance, I see no reason to believe I 'know' God.
I'm not a Christian (obviously) but don't you know what symbolism is? it's kind of obvious.....
all feelings are emotiveYou say all emotions are love, even those that are not?
love is the whole of the law
friendship is two bodies being yoked together as one mind - the way of the cross
Ok, I see no reason to believe our gods are the same then.all feelings are emotive
the mind is only limited to what it conditions limits to be. it makes the rules and it breaks them.I suggest you re read your op.
Yes i made it personal, love is personal, do you think otherwise?
Speak for yourself. Oh you do which perhaps explains your ignorance of other people.
What? Back on straw men? How sad.
And you are a prime example, thanks for mentioning Voltair
love isn't the ideal?I know love..I don't know god...end of hypothesis
