Why don’t you believe in God?

[Link]

I think God is both hidden and manifest to a degree, that only who wants to believe in him will and only who does not want to won't.

 

[Jimmy]

How do you conceptualize God?

Existence itself.

 

[Whateverist]

Existence itself.

Yep, pretty much me too. Does that work for you as a Christian or are you a hybrid of some sort? I’m just weird.

A Christian. I believe God created the heavens and earth.

I believe in G-d who created heavens and earth but not that (Jesus)Yeshua- the truthful Israelite was ever God, and the same way Holy-Spirit was never God, please.

Regards

Existence itself.

But how do you picture that. Something person-like or literally just everything? If God is all of existence then you must be some sort of pantheist too, yes? Do you see that as compatible with Christianity.

I don't mean to give you the third degree but I don't really understand Christianity.

My god is infinite space.

My god is infinite space.

I believe God cannot be defined as "infinite space," Kind of a limited physical definition. Infinite space is best described by Quantum Mechanics.

Limited? How on Gods green earth is infinite limited?

"Infinite space" is limiting definition describing space. Space is potentially infinite by definition, Outer space - Wikipedia.


Outer space (or simply space) is the expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere and between celestial bodies.[1] It contains ultra-low levels of particle densities, constituting a near-perfect vacuum[2] of predominantly hydrogen and helium plasma, permeated by electromagnetic radiation, cosmic rays, neutrinos, magnetic fields and dust. The baseline temperature of outer space, as set by the background radiation from the Big Bang, is 2.7 kelvins (−270 °C; −455 °F).[3]

The plasma between galaxies is thought to account for about half of the baryonic (ordinary) matter in the universe, having a number density of less than one hydrogen atom per cubic metre and a kinetic temperature of millions of kelvins.[4] Local concentrations of matter have condensed into stars and galaxies. Intergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space. Most of the remaining mass-energy in the observable universe is made up of an unknown form, dubbed dark matter and dark energy.[5][6][7][8]

Outer space does not begin at a definite altitude above Earth's surface. The Kármán line, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level,[9][10] is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping. Certain portions of the upper stratosphere and the mesosphere are sometimes referred to as "near space". The framework for international space law was established by the Outer Space Treaty, which entered into force on 10 October 1967. This treaty precludes any claims of national sovereignty and permits all states to freely explore outer space. Despite the drafting of UN resolutions for the peaceful uses of outer space, anti-satellite weapons have been tested in Earth orbit.

I don’t buy into potentials unless it’s cake of course.

 

[shunyadragon]

A Christian. I believe God created the heavens and earth.

Than God created "infinite space."

 

[shunyadragon]

This has nothing to do with cake, It is simply how "space" is defined.

 

[Jimmy]

Than God created "infinite space."

God creates himself, yes, along with help from Jesus.

 

[muhammad_isa]

God creates himself, yes, along with from Jesus.

??? You what?

 

[Jimmy]

??? You what?

Oops typo
along with help from Jesus

 

[Jimmy]

Yeah I have a pantheist view which differs from most Christian views which are panantheistic. Irregardless of differences in semantics between these two words, first and foremost, I’m a follower of Jesus Christ.

I think you mean to refer to panentheism but it may be Pantheism if t=you believe the physical existence is God

I am close to the belief of Panentheism. Oxford Languages and Google - English | Oxford Languages

1. the belief or doctrine that God is greater than the universe and includes and interpenetrates it.
   
   pantheism:
   • a doctrine which identifies God with the universe, or regards the universe as a manifestation of God.
     
     
   • 2.
     worship that admits or tolerates all gods.

I got it right

 

[shunyadragon]

I got it right

The pantheistic God would be everything in our physical existence not just "space." Space is not empty it is made up of stuff that everything else is made of.
