Is God ....White?

[exchemist]

the title is for you kneejerkers

I don't think God is white
or black
or human
or even physical

but I do think He is dangerous

and these petty squabbles we have
are a sure fire way to bring down the damnation

any nay sayers?

"Nay."

No doubt you've been "inspired" but recent events.

No. God is not white. Nor black. Nor male. Nor female.

What Does God Look Like?

But you look like God. And God looks like you imagine both your friends and your enemies to look.

Also, people who think God is dangerous are dangerous.

Because God is a mirror of you, your parents, and those you know.

So rather than asking if God is white or black, and hating on him because you suspect the answer might be an issue, remember what Michael Jackson said.

Black or White

Man in the Mirror

That's right. Michael Jackson was neither male or female (as a result of the surgeries screwing up his face) nor black or white. Therefore, God is Michael Jackson. You aren't gonna hate on Michael Jackson are you?

Does not that mean if an other human being do evil to you until you can not be saved? A God would give us the teaching how to enter their realms, not how they will destroy us, but yes the Gods and Buddhas we mostly hear about in religious teachings are the Gods and Buddhas most near our human realm, not the God or Buddhas in realms, in understanding.

If you read the Old Testament then one can understand the fear of God in the literal sense. The guy literally sent an angel to wipe out 185 000 soldiers in a flash. He sent a flood to wipe people out. He blew up Sodom and Gommorrah.

Read those stories using the 1611 KJV.

I would not want to test the Guy.

 

[Samael_Khan]

Maybe I wasn't clear. I'll address your specific examples here.

You're right, these are religious wars. More importantly, they're ideological wars based off of different values, with political reasons contributing to them. Taking away religion doesn't take away war. There will always be something to disagree on and fight to the death over.

Religion has historically been pretty much synonymous with ideology, which didn't really change until after the middle ages, and it still hasn't, really, throughout much of the world. It was the big thing to disagree on. Now the big thing tends to be economic policy.

The problem isn't that a whole bunch of people are religious. That's a weird conclusion. The problem is that people hash out minor disagreements through large-scale violent conflict, and as a species we're prone to nasty tribalism on even the simplest of matters like preferred cola.

It also depends on the religion in question.

 

[Samael_Khan]

Really?

I think he was using "understatement" for in that quote. It is a highly underrated form of expression.

I may be wrong since Christianity is not my strongest understanding but did not those people sin a lot? They were wiped out because of to much sin or as I would see ?

It all depends upon the people controlling and manipulating their spiritual god puppet.

Sure, I'm a nay sayer.

Sure: your God gets mad about the same things you do. It's an expression of your ideas of perfection, after all.

hhhhmmmmmmm...……..no

If the Lord was ...MY Lord
I would have no worries
not now
or when the hour comes that I stand before Him
for that hour of reckoning

it was declared......BE thou perfect
as your Father in heaven is perfect

my idea of perfection?
nope

and I might not make it

o oh

 

[Thief]

I think God is off white, a little bit yellow with some pink. He probably looks terrible in green shirts, because they bring out the yellow too strongly.

Do you have a problem with that?

well He sports a lot of green on this earth

and HE might have a problem with the way it's disappearing
and WE might have a problem with the way it's disappearing

 

[Thief]

In my early youth, I thought about the light beyond the light might be `God`.
But then....I grew up and I'm still looking for the original light !
Yah...I know...`Godidit`

I will start another thread.....just for you

 

[Thief]

The Guru showed me a white God. Pure intense white light. Of course, white is all of the colors combined.

I'm not white, I'm more of a reddish, yellow, green... Well, kind of hard to describe the color of my skin but it's not white.

you too

 

[Aupmanyav]

Some are fair, others are dark, just like humans.

 

[Thief]

...or even real.



The concepts of gods are dangerous. They divide people against each other. But so far that divisiveness hasn't ended the human race.

Your "the damnation" is just another example of the divisiveness of gods and religions.

I believe in Hierarchy
and I believe Spirit First.....as Creator

so Someone without form
created form
and He kept it up until a form started producing …...spirit

there is no mystery to life
we are here to learn all that we can...before we die

this form can do nothing else

and of course it makes no sense that all of this ends in dust

after the last breath we go to God and heaven....to present ourselves

see Job

Hmmm.
God is everything.
You are a tiny part if God.
So is your chair, or your cat.

I see the prophet of God here as Mother Nature, who is everything from danger to safety, sadness to joy.

I'm a Deist.

So.......... Nay.......

What if we jump into volcanoes? That will feed the Earth's core and help to create new land.

Yes. That is the point.

 

[PruePhillip]

Why do you see God as dangeroues? If any it is us humans who are dangerous to ourselves.

Well, God said that when the Messiah comes the Jewish nation would end
and the Jews would be trodden under the feet of the Gentiles - that turned
out to be quite horrifying.
And Jesus suggested the same fate would one day be the Gentiles too.

May it have come to be like that because of the sin humans had done? And not because God evil?

If I remember correctly the Christian God even warned human beings if they did become morally better, they would feel suffering and death?

 

[The Anointed]

God is the unapproachable light, and Light is white, and yet light can be broken up into ever conceivable colour.
