Who is God?

[XBGMER]

The physical appearance of God the Father, and Jesus isn't important. The Bible doesn't describe their physical features because they are irrelevant, and would cause people to have the wrong focus of their attention. God is the Author of the Bible, so He has no need to make up anything in His Bible.

Reba, Whoa... I tell you, yes the scripture does describe physical features look like God.. Yeah God made man, he telling you, a man look like God since He made a man out of ground and put him in his image as relfect (sp) from God..


Look Genesis 1:27 God created a Man In [HIS] IMAGE OF GOD.. God is looked like a Man, therfore God is a man or the Son of Man. Since In John 1 chapter, the word was God in beginning: Jesus told them, The word is Flesh among them what they see Jesus was real man like sons of men, not spirit.. The flesh is the son of man/ the Flesh is the word of God himself more than just spirit.... is not SON OF GOD THE SON OF MAN??? see that obviously you refuse to be accpet what scriptural life says..

Reba, Whoa... I tell you, yes the scripture does describe physical features look like God....

What Scripture verses describe the physical features of God? None. There are no verses that say God is tall or short, fat or thin, dark skinned or pale, thick black wavy hair or bald, brown eyes or blue, beak nose or button, bearded or clean shaven, etc.

One thing we know for certain is that Jesus has to be look like ARABIAN more than causians with light brown/blue eyes.

I rebuke my earlier statement of avoiding this thread and not replying. Mainly because your reply still has that arrogant stench emmiting off of it.

What is it with your smug post? I really didn't need your opinion rubbed in my face like that.

No, you didn't. Like I said you already have made YOUR own choice. It doesn't mean that my opinion rubbed in your face like that. Maybe, you feel this way.

God is important?

Eagle, on one condition.

You are sharing about God/Jesus base about believe but..

The Jesus doesn't pick people who believes alone itself. Jesus will pick people who believe him with the FAITH. Without the Faith, how can it can be grow without all the proof of life. Just want add about this.

It also include our action as same bottom and high and east and west. If one of the person does change and doesn't show the truly of mean to share God and action still do wrong.

The history do repeat history of our life educate and even the bible is history and future too. However the stove up or behave that would be problem. The people who doesn't follow of life and telling people to stop gossip about me or whatever that person wants. It is a truly of mean of Christian in God's word? It would be immature. I do believe that conflict between World and "fake" Christian causing into their prefer or free choice. In old time, the people do follow in God word in their life. Today, the people who don't believe or do believe still doesn't take God word.

Even in old history the people were suffer. God set them free by guide person help and see God's work but still say, "its fake" even it show the proof of real God by flood the world. People still say, "its fake". I still don't understand how they don't accept but it mean they were blind.

People can be found light when they were blind or not heard of Jesus. Jesus is mean many than just one spoke of spelling out, J-E-S-U-S. Because he bought our sin for who believe in his name and Faith. Come to him and learn "Life" (the bible). There will be no pain or sorrow.

The question; how do we explain -- what happen to us when our time is dying and death approach time?

We are important to God because human is almost impossible for any galaxy above this Earth that we, the human, have free to choose believe in different path that direct hell and heaven.

Human is ability defeat devil because human made the choice. It what it seems interesting and how law and country tries rid of God name in our heart.

The Devil is working and know your all secret and pain path will destroy us or keep us away from you that way you won't be heard.

Jesus is a way live and practice be alike Him. Please don't just point to people on base because God understand the mistake and say, "it just happen".

Change it and do Good seed will collect in your hand and look all beautiful flower that grow from garden. It is who you are and if you are not good, it will have torn and prison then destroyed that turn out black and ugly.

We need do Good. Not just lie.. You can't be same Love God and hate person. If you hate person mean you hate God too. So don't let it happen to you.

Faith is what we need to do and being without see. If you believe in God that send Jesus beloved and believe that will delivery us into His kingdom. Only we knows Jesus is the way of life. The "LIFE" is bible, that share all mistake from people example and improve whats the right.

God's equal Love and Sin. There is no less sin or love. There is no mistake.

Even for Christian people chosen Love more than sin seem cross the line. For example; if person do something wrong while other Christian person heard that did rape over kid or murder from bank after being stealing the money. Christian person hate that person with no question or why. It not true meanly of Christian. It should have some support and encourage for better life with our Lord. Look all the Proverbs chapter that can explain the life with improve of our problem that can solved from God's wisdom. The heaven will rule the earth again.

My point was that you believe in something that depends on personal testimonies, faith, and feelings, and yet you call the Bible "myth?"

How do you prove "personal experience with previous lives?"

Actual testimonies of people - living - that describe things they otherwise could not know. (And I'm not talking about another Napoleon...) There are many, a lot of research has been done on it.

Point is,
1: There are people, many, living, that have shown experiences confirming this
2: The experiences they have I do not take literally word by word.

When the bible is taken literally, there is no basis for that. It has been written by people that wood look at today's wheelborrow with amazement!!!

And their words is now basis for WAR !!

Yea some pp today still believe that world's still flat and think dinosaurs never existed.

"Thank you. Allah will save all that for your record. You already made your own choice to believe in other than the one true God. I still don't agree with you on many issues you believe in. May Allah have mercy upon your soul."

Read that and tell me it doesn't sound smug. Tell me it didn't bother you and that you were not annoyed by it and didnt feel as if I was rubbing something in your face.

Friend, I don't mean to offend you, if you feel about my previous post, because of the way I say it. Sometimes, I do blunt because, I stood up for Christ. I will not tolerate for someone to say that " I am God " in german ( in despite of language your usin' ). That's an insult. That sounds like Satan who said : "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God ... I will ascend above the height of the clouds; I will be like the most high." ( Isaiah 14:13-14 )

How would you think God will feel when Satan said these things 5 times to His Face ? And how would you think God will feel when someone said " I am God " ?
And, lastly I apologize if you feel " smug " about my previous post.

That's old news. I studied the interviews and pre-birth regression stuff 40 years ago. :roll:

How could people know about the past? Other than the fakes who do their homework, there are people who are possessed by the demons who experienced those past times. The demons still have that knowledge, and they share it with the person (subconciously) in whom they reside.

Not all demons cause people to act wildly. Some do their dirty deeds in more subtle ways.

1: There are people, many, living, that have shown experiences confirming this
2: The experiences they have I do not take literally word by word.

Your two points contradict each other.
If point #1 "confirms" the experiences to you, then how can you not take them literally in point #2? Either their experiences are confirmed to you or not.

When the bible is taken literally, there is no basis for that. It has been written by people that wood look at today's wheelborrow with amazement!!!

(Don't depend on spell check for your English.)
I don't know where you get the idea that today's man is more intellectually sophisticated than the patriarchs of the OT. Who do you think made all the original discoveries and inventions (from scratch, so to speak)? If you were plopped onto a deserted island with no technology or knowledge of previous inventions, what could you do?

Could you design an ark if you had never before seen even a row boat?

Could you design the pyramids of Egypt?

Could you develop a written language with which to record events?

Could you develop all the math and algebraic equations and formulae that are necessary for use in engineering? What about basic systems of measurement (weights, volumes, distance)?

Would you know which plants and animals were safe to eat (trial and error method is pretty risky).

Would you know how to forge iron? Refine gold? Make alloys?

Could you bake bread from scratch without a recipe or thermometer?

People today think that they are sooooo advanced because all the basic "homework" has done for them long ago.

Is a wheelbarrow your idea of advanced techology? It's been around at least 2,000 years.

And their words is now basis for WAR !!

As long as man has a sin nature, war is inevitable. It's not the fault of the Bible. Man's own pride and greed will always cause conflict.

The world was in conflict long before the canon of the Bible was written down and distributed to people.

So even you could acknowledge past lifes...

Demons... another invention when rationalisation doesn't work..
Caused a lot of women their life when they were targeted as witches....
Killing by order of the church

Your two points contradict each other.
If point #1 "confirms" the experiences to you, then how can you not take them literally in point #2? Either their experiences are confirmed to you or not.

No, the experience can differ from person to person. Not 1 experience is the absolute truth...

(Don't depend on spell check for your English.)

LOL... I was looking at "wood" and only later I saw it.... would.. sorry... As for the wheelborrow.... "kruiwagen" would not have sounded well in your ears...

I don't know where you get the idea that today's man is more intellectually sophisticated than the patriarchs of the OT. Who do you think made all the original discoveries and inventions (from scratch, so to speak)?

All that technology was lost when christianity set in... Remember the dark ages.... The church destoryed most technology and made sure anyone that thought for himself was killed... remember the inquisition...

Oh yeh, that was not YOUR church...

As long as man has a sin nature, war is inevitable. It's not the fault of the Bible. Man's own pride and greed will always cause conflict.

On the contrary... Religion is in almost every war an issue.... Open your eyes....!!!

Mods Report!!

Please remove #225 It not my personal! focus Who is God?

Thanks!

Everyone make many mistakes because that is where you can grow stronger with the Lord when you have the Fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law

You talk about faith, look in Bible that you can have a FAITH as small as a mustard seed.
Luke 17:6
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Please focus on "Who is God" issues rather than talking about the people itself.
Colossians 3:23
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Proverbs in the Bible is a wonderful example how we can live with God's example everyday. It is does not matter who is weak or strong Christians, God still loved them all!!! You are getting there and just keep praying and looking up to God everyday!

I used german for a reason, to proxy from offending anyone here out of respect. Since the cat was out of the bag after leibeing translated I figured it didn't matter because the damage was dealt and proceded to talk about it. Perhaps I should have not posted it at all. It's a philosophical theory, an alternative belief. Things that I take interest in, I like to consider all the possiblities at hand.

Also, if someone said I am God and /God/ heard it. He would forgive their ignorance- this humoring the possiblity that he is real. After all, the bible makes him out as a loving and forgiving sentient being that is formless and ultimate. Sometimes I wish people who believed would actually question their faith with logic and common sense while retaining the morals. I'm not asking them to not believe, but rather not to follow something so blindlessly and at least take things into consideration. Though, that's going against your faith.

I do think Jesus is son of God but...I don't know. Quit confusing me. lol I'm Catholic...or Christian...confusing..lol. ehh...My mother's side are strong Christian. My father's side are strong Catholic. ehh....

 

[Cloggy]

.......Also, if someone said I am God and /God/ heard it.........

You are God, I am God, Everyone is God. And together we are all connected. Like a hughe sphere, connected from the inside out, with all of us on the surface.

What would someone feel the need, even liberty, to explain how God feels...

Assuming he would be offended.. rediculous...

You should feel God in order to respect the universe. And act like one.

You are God, I am God, Everyone is God.
