The Qualities of a God

I take sources from the Quran and Sunnah and authenticated sources. We do not attribute anything of ourselves as being compared to Allah. No one is comparable unto Him.

What gives this Bahai the right to interpret the Quran and Sunnah "his way"? He is not qualified.

As Allah so willed, it is Allah that sends the Messengers and fulfil the Covenants.

I'm pretty sure this is a remix of a thread I created a few years back, but for the life of me cannot find it (not that I spent much time looking).

So here it is...

In another thread, a member asked if one can be a god, or if one can know one is a god.

To answer such a question, one would have to know what qualities or attributes a god would have.

So what are the qualities of a god? What qualifications would one have to have to be considered a god?

if a god is defined as one worthy of worship, even if that were the defining quality, such a definition would not suffice to identify that one is a god.

One requires a means of identification - not simply a list of qualities.

What color is a traffic light when no one is looking?

On the ether hand, we humans tend to endow people, places, and things with god-like powers even though they don't and shouldn't have them. We are programmed to establish and follow heirarchy, and will tend to do so blindly and automatically.

Speak for yourself, you are indoctrinated to follow heirarchy, and perhaps it is you that does so blindly and automatically.
Making whomever sits at the top of the heirarchy the equivalent of a god.

You view it that way, many don't.

Yep...... SalixIncendium, I hereby pronounce and give qualification that you are a God.
(I'd send your title deed for this if I could).

Well...... part of one....
More accurately, a very little bit of one...... tiny bit, even.
But you are part of God (in my belief 'system')

Everything is part of the whole, and anything/nothing else as well. And although the whole is far too vast to be aware of us, this planet, this galaxy or even this universe, there is a resident manager that supervises all that goes on. The whole Deity has the quality of 'presence in nothingness' and it's qualifications are simply it's unbelievable forces, presences and immensity.

I could probably describe all this better but I haven't had breakfast yet. :)

I hope that by now you have had your breakfast as arranged by the resident manager.
It is a sloppy resident manager who lets things to happen which he should not have allowed.

The qualities of the creator.

Unconditional love.

The qualities of man of science thesis earth. As God of his him he science. Multi substances.

Did unconditional love create creation? No. As they existed inside of the eternal. They were the conscious identity who caused change.

To the eternal body.

In one place O God was held spirit language. The surround became a thin plane.

Reason why. Holding was not flowing.

So a conscious being made a choice and a change. To a status always existing the same.

Now it's not the same. It has a hole in its body. Created creation.

Thin plane burst.
O gods burnt burst.

Created creation inside a thin place space hole.

Why you said it formed like a womb. Burning planets suns. Same substance.

Reasoned every type of energy is different yet it is one form energy.

Ha ha! Yes! All kinds of stuff going totally askew, incompetence extraordinaire..... True!

There is a word for this sloppy derelict conduct......... Chaos.
And out of chaos, all of these wonders.
And out of chaos, all can end,
And out of chaos, all can be again......

How long we waited for these micro-seconds of life, and how long after we will sleep. I think I'll go and cuddle my wife......it's well worth the slap. :)

This is a short list of some of the attributes of God found in the Baha’i sacred writings.

So how do you go about determinizing which one of you is correct? If either?

You are missing out the entire OT he isn't "just love" he has his wrath and vengeance. :)
I find the Bible says "God 'IS' love, so yes God does 'have' vengeance and 'has' wrath but God IS Not wrath nor vengeance.
Note the word "IS" at 1 John 4:8. God is Not wrath, God is Not vengeance: God "IS" love.
- Romans 12:19; Deuteronomy 32:35; Hebrews 10:30.
God having wrath, God having vengeance is toward wicked people, people who won't repent from wickedness.
We all freely choose to be a figurative humble 'sheep' or a haughty 'goat' - Matthew 25:31-33,37.
Repent if we don't want to 'perish' ( 'be destroyed' Psalms 92:7 ) -2 Peter 3:9

Romans 1:18

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men..

The Prophets have always condemned oppression and injustice against the innocent. In Baha’u’llah’s case He wrote to the kings from a prison warning them that their kingdoms would fall if they continued injustices. Where are these kings now?

Salam

There are 1001 titles in this prayer given from Imam Zainal Abideen (a), and originally from Rasool (s) from Gabriel (a) from God:


God has one name in reality, and that's his face, his light, the holy spirit of his command which is occupied by many souls who are the beautiful names of God but it's one word of light and showing the same truth. But he has many titles.

God has a perfect word by which he establishes believers by, that is his name, and it's the blessed tree of light.
