if God were real...?

[Sirius Star]

"If god was real.........[...]...I make mistakes...[...]...that the god would never, never, everm not once, let it happen to his words....[...]...By the way. might essentially be the wrong word also?"

Are you even sure of anything you write? Why are God's words even being legitimate have anything to do with your mistakes? Mistakes or willful on-purpose for personal purpose only not interested in serving God at all. What's so funny about that is it will be lol! Yes this is so funny, all. All at your own will.

By the way @syncretic might essentially be the wrong word also?

What is your opinion on that?

People have not have their coffee yet, I guess.

The question: Why are God's words even being legitimate have anything to do with savagewind's mistakes?

Seriously? LOL

All of God's words are legitimate. I do not know which of my words are legitmate or not legitimate. You've got that right.
I am not talking about God's words though. I am taking about the words that are written that PEOPLE call God's words.
That everything which was written can be God's own words without any mistakes is an extraordinary miracle, if it was true
So, I am not comparing my words with God's own words. I am comparing my words with the words that are CALLED God's words because honest to God, PEOPLE wrote them.

I hope this helps.

For the record, the Bible'', to me, isn't the entire Bible (non-Christian)

 

[savagewind]

What is your opinion on that?

I don't think anyone has ever asked my opinion before. I am experiencing a little bit of shock. I hope I recover.

Essentially means, "in essence". There is a difference between each word being correct and the essence of the whole work being correct.

Each word needing to be correct does not equal the whole work being true.

I believe the whole work is true for finding understanding. BUT, if you should think that each and every word is as God intends, then the whole work is made crooked. My opinion.

 

[savagewind]

OK. I am not sure what this means.

The Bible isn't the entire Bible. Is your Bible more or less than the entire (modern) Bible?

Seems like if you brought up 'essentially', you mean it. Your statements do seem to indicate that.

 

[Desert Snake]

It is some of the 'standard' Bible,/what I meant

and other writings, /non-Biblical.
I wouldn't call those other writings a ''bible'', though

 

[savagewind]

Yes. I believe that what I have (I have many of them) is essentially God's Word. It can be found in the mess that we have imo.

OK. I do not disagree with you. I think the Bible is enough for me right now.

 

[Desert Snake]

Is ''essentially'', the right word, here?

 

[Jonathan Ainsley Bain]

Don't see my reply, so maybe I tapped the wrong key or something. Let me have another go at it.
The answer to your question is simple. A lack of empirical evidence and testable claims for, and a good deal of evidence suggesting the absence of, such a being.

If I may put a finer point on it, though, the claim that there is some sort of supernatural being that can speak things into existence and suspend the laws of physics on a whim (I am assuming you are some variety of Christian) is
just about the most extraordinary claim one could possibly make. Therefore, the evidence to support such a claim would have to be particularly extraordinary as well. And it just isn't. Sorry.

So its not possible that an alien artist in a super-high-tech civilization,
could use words to create a story, and then make a virtual-reality computer game out of that story?
Its not possible that this world could be such?

 

[savagewind]

Is ''essentially'', the right word, here?

I think so. It is what I base my thoughts on. I trust the Bible is essentially right. Every word need not be right for the whole work to be a guide.

I believe "all scripture" is a guide. If a person were to ascribe truth to wrong words in it, it would not be a guide to understanding. I think it is better to disregard the whole thing than it is to call something in it that isn't God word "God's word".

"...[...]...All of God's words are legitimate. I do not know which of my words are legitmate or not legitimate....[...]...

Well if you do not know either yourself or what you are even speaking of then why write? You do not know if you are even speaking the truth or not? You still do not know which of your words are legitimate? That means you might still know everything you try to tell others you don't know just because you really don't care about it. All of life is just one big swim. So if it is you can try to stay away from the pool and try swimming in the ocean. Now of God are you trusting? Well never mind it will mean nothing. All of life is just one big game and in the end there will still be God all over again. Amen.

 

[Jonathan Ainsley Bain]

Lack of empirical evidence and a great deal of evidence that suggests that a god does not exist. 100% certainty? No....nothing is 100%. But high enough probability to not bother.

Perhaps this is not the place for this discussion, though. I see this is in "Religious debates" and I don't often post in this section. I am not a rude person and do not have an issue with those who wish to discuss religious topics. I apologize for the intrusion.

Well God is said to be a Mind, ok?
And there is no empirical evidence for anyone having a mind.
The self can only attest to its own consciousness.
This is what has lead to the horror of the mind being considered and epiphenomenon by materialists.

 

[savagewind]

Well if you do not know either yourself or what you are even speaking of then why write?

I didn't say I do not know myself. And I know what I am speaking of. I think I am warning them the same as you are warning me. Thank you for the warning.

You do not know if you are even speaking the truth or not?

I know I want to speak the truth and I believe I am.

You still do not know which of your words are legitimate?

How is that possible? How is it possible to know which words I speak are for God's will be done and which are not?

That means you might still know everything you try to tell others

I think I know what I am talking about.

you don't know just because you really don't care about it.

I don't know what this means. I can't change one hair of my head a different color. Matthew 5:36 Oh wait! I can.

 

[Sirius Star]

How is that possible? How is it possible to know which words I speak are for God's will be done and which are not?

I think I know what I am talking about.

Just to think you know what you are talking about...then why don't you know for sure what you are talking about. You ought to at least know how God will react. That is what is being taught. But then you don't even know which words you use whether they are even legitimate or not? Go back to your own post. You wrote it. Therefore there is no more argument. Only a harvest. You still think you are smarter than the rest.

I am not smarter! Jesus is! He is my friend AND my brother AND my lord AND my hope

When I post I am sure of what I post. I am not sure of my method. LOL. But I am having fun! Are you?

 

[savagewind]

Are there people who know how God will react? I might call that false religion.

That is what is being taught.

To be teaching that anyone knows "how God will react" should probably cease immediately.

But then you don't even know which words you use whether they are even legitimate or not?

I think we understand the word legitimate differently.

[[[.]]]how God will react?[[[...]]] To be teaching that anyone knows "how God will react" should probably cease immediately.

Why, what are you constantly afraid of? The demons hear the word of God. The devils know the words of God. They try to take it all a little at a time and speak words to themselves that hell is not real but just made up like mud. Mud is not real either when it floods. A flood is not real just because it is the noise of many waters.

It says the fearful and the abominable shall see how hell fires. God is simply sick of all of the injustices. One or more it doesn't matter if there is still one single injustice. That's the call. Nothing else.
