What is God?

Bridging the Gap Between Believers and Skeptics
Crazy thing is I like them all but just not 100% Ack!

That's probably because no religion has ever described something to you that you imagined is perfect ... except for pantheism. If you believe that the Universe is already perfect as it is, you are a naturalist and don't need religion. :) But many naturalists still desire to follow a religion...

Many people (including me) speak about God.

But do people actually have a clue what a God truly are and what a God can do?
Honestly I don't believe i can truly answer this question my self. I would have to point to what scriptures say, but those aren't my own true understandings.

Actually it's quite easy to determine what is God to someone. Wherever their heart is, there's their god.

Belle knows what scrooge's first love is and it isn't her.

I find Jesus' true understandings was that he believed that Scripture is: religious truth - John 17:17
This would explain why Jesus often prefaced his statements with the words, " It is written........"
Meaning already written down in the OT as his true understandings.
Thus, Jesus used logical reasoning on the OT as to what is more than a clue what God truly is and can do.
Jesus taught his God's name should be hallowed (held as sacred / sanctified)
Hallowed as found at - Psalms 83:18 KJV (Jehovah) and at www.jw.org.
So, the Bible explains about God, His name, and what God can do ( and will do - Revelation 22:2)

That sure was true of those hate-filled religious Pharisees' hearts of Jesus day - Mark 7:21; Jeremiah 17:9

I respect this honesty.

My own stance is that there is no true core meaning of "god". There are various vaguely defined meanings, some of which are mutually exclusive.

Were it not for strongly enforced social taboos against honest discussion of those meanings, we would probably have developed more specific, less ambiguous terminology already.

If a human tells any truth.

A natural human aware balanced spiritually would state god terms were said by a human theist.

Wanting the powers of God for invention technology.

Seeing their life was owned naturally first and exact. If you told the truth.

In the past mountain temple not stars or planets transmitted technology to temples. Transmitters direct to pyramid.

Nuclear mass converting underground. God terms by human theists.

No tv no phone no computers no radios no other transmitting technology.

Today doing power plant only model not pyramid said a God dust fission is safer than my old technology.

Notice no satellite or any new technology transmitters are involved.

Science now wants old technology returned. His technique of transmitters he said is now reasonably safe.

Yet humans study said healthy biology is affected by any transmitter held constant.

As water isn't the coldest position greatest or highest. As we aren't gods position. As a thinker.

Natural thinker about God is correct. Scientific Theists human storytellers are incorrect.

Which is religious science and science.

Neither God terms.

Being with God meant you weren't of God. Only god was God legally.

We're all just equal mutual humans. Family species type humans

So no I don't understand by lying coercive theist human sciences. As I was taught by my mother a human not to lie as self human Idolating. I know it all hence own it all....is Idolating.

If God isn't allowed to exist by its natural terms you certainly own impose incorrect thinking.

Both the creation of the universe and human nature reveals a great deal about the Creator. Therefore, a lot can be understood about God and His character. His power is quite evident judging by the universe alone. And, the power of love, especially over evil, elucidates the laws that God has instituted to govern mankind, and therefore the type of Being that He is - good and holy.

Humans natural first position. Mutual equal loving.

Spiritual natural loving.

Theist today says first types as a human were created from evil terms. Gods cold mass equals only gods cold mass. Human scientific terms as converting mass opening into burning in spaces opening in mass converted reacting.

No biology whatsoever.

After ice age says ice and waters position stopped reaction on ground off ground.

Biology naturally is supported by ices cooling and water already. Can't use the terms twice.

A direct lie.

Biology says bio life direct is only after a living ape. Sciences legal human position versus nuclear Theists also just humans.

Lying.

Humans first loving.

Parents in animals love nurture teach babies seen.

Humans weren't a lower based conscious evil species. Just an evil minded humans thought itself.

All human statements only owned said by its human thinker. Thinking lies as it involves unnatural want.

A good human was always present themselves as a good human.

The evil human Theist caused burning earth mass destruction is the liar.

Says good overcame evil. It never stopped your chosen behaviour. Legal law by humans enforced however did.

God is a religious concept. It generally means a being more powerful than human. Specific meaning depends on individual religion. For some religions gods are just manifestations of the ultimate reality.

I can. It's called imagination and creativity.
