Oh where oh where has God...

[Scott1]

Lord, can you hear me speak ?

Errrrr.... is this directed at me????

If so.... yes, He can.

I was waiting for that

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Hehee, me too, Watcher.

OK, I'll bear that in mind next time I pray.

I can't speak for God. But he's here. Watching, Listening, and Loving us all reagrdless if we love him or believe in him or not.

Good to hear it!

Now don't be sexist, God is one and so is sexless. I don't know about loving us, but maybe God does but also despises us in equal measure.

Cheers

If the Bible is to be believed, not so.

 

[Kowalski]

Well now, you can take the bible with a large pich of salt. Man (patriatchal man) made God in their image. I perfer the Hindu and Ancient Egypt view.

Take the creation myth of Amun, Amun is alone in the void, he is the sole one, and yet everything in the universe comes from his ejacualtion ( fiery blast), so that the seeds of all life must be within the one.

I'm sorry, I may be missing some thing, or maybe a post was deleted. Was there someone being sexist? And perhaps someone else's god might despise us all in equal measure, but I wouldn't want to have that god for my own. Let someone else claim 'im.

Really, it occurs to me that God hasn't really been around for the last 2000 years, discounting our LDS friends. So, why was God seemingly so active in the period prior to the Jesus myths, and so quiet since. I say say seemingly because the world hasn't been short of wannbe messiahs, although you only have their word for what they spout forth. No, the really big biblical stuff seems to to have ended.

Any thoughts ?

Hi, actually, large numbers of years went by between miracles before Christ, too. Usually when God was making a change, ushering in a new age, is when supernatural phenomenon would occur. For most of the time in the Bible, nothing freaky happenned, in the heavenly sense, lol.

One could consider the fulfilling of the prophesy that Israel would become a nation again, which happenned in 1948, defying all odds of any ancient tribe becoming a nation again. And in 1967 they retook Jerusalem, another prophesy fulfilled. Even the land blossomed, where it was once desert, and all attempts at growing failed, now they are a leading supplier of fruit to Europe.

Has anyone heard that because protons and neutrons are pos and neg, and should repell each other, ppl dont know what holds atoms together? Well Colossians1:16-17 says that by Him (Jesus), all things were made, and by Him all things consist (are held together). Maybe that is a miracle?

Interestingly, as all the other prophecies came true, I see a lot of them that are yet to happen, so, you may see something yet!

When god is referred to as ' he' then it's sexist. How can god depise humans,
? if God is in control, you have to be blind to the misery doled out on a global scale. god cannot be all good, I can never believe that. Everything dicates that God must be as evil as is good.

[joeboonda]

God is good, Satan is evil, the world is in a fallen state, Man has freewill.

Only if you choose to take it that way. I don't. Why should I care if people call him a 'he,' unless they start trying to suggest that I'm less worthy because I'm female? I tend to refer to diety as 'she', if I refer to her in gender terms, and I usually am only referring to a particular god, as opposed to "The" god.

That implies that there are such things as good and evil. That makes no more sense than demanding that diety is genderless, or posesses both genders. There are horrible, horrible things that happen- usually unfortunately that people do to each other, but there are also wonderful, beautiful things that happen. People also do them for each other.

Editted to fix quote! Sorry!

:biglaugh:You need to go back to high school physics I think....
First of all let us review the three main particles in am atom..... Proton (positive)...Neutron (neutrally charged)...Electron (negative charge)
Second...positive and negative ATTRACT, not repel. Like particles repel, oppisotes attract.
Next, the atom..... The nucleus is composed of Protons and neutrons. The neutrons are basically what keep the protons from repelling away from eachother. The electrons exist in the "electron cloud" and orbit the nucleus.
I won't get to much further into this.....continue..

Yeah, its been a LONG time since high school, lol, I was kinda in a haze about the atom thing, lol! I was just asking if anyone heard of such a thing. I have it in a book somewhere...was curious is all. I heard someone made up something called gluons that supposedly hold atoms together or some such thing. Thanks for the reply!

God is neither good or evil, it simply created the universe and then handed it over to all that was living, the shape the world is in now has nothing to do with God, but with ourselves. We are the ones who created all this misfortune and war, not God. I do not think God even really cares because it knows we are perfectly safe, because are soul can never be destroyed, we can never die, only our physical form can be destroyed.

Nothing is intrinsically good or evil it is simple our judgements about that thing that make it good or evil. So it would go to show that God is neither good or evil either it just is.

That's what I sorta meant, God just is, but that ' just is' is neither good nor bad. So either can manifest into the physical world.

Nice post - the only thing that grates is the reference to God as 'it' - but that is my own preference, and barely makes any difference - except in my mind.

Surely Michel, your not going to suggest that God is a man ? as I think that God, is something akin to formless energy, I have to disgree with you.
