To acknowledge the beauty of life and the creation itself, being delicate with nature, revering mother earth -- who sustains -- honoring the Sun(christ) -- the spiritual essence of God, who gives life -- respecting our temples(human body). Having an intimate relationship & interaction with others, animals the planets, sun, stars & moon. Experiencing spiritual growth, purifying self, seeking to know thyself, becoming accustomed naturally & genuinely in spirit doing good deeds and charity -- like the Sun is very charitable to us. Loving life so cherishing it. Being true in spirit, one with nature, welcoming and loving diversity, learning from other -- so unity, community & communionship can occur. We might be discovering that we are the programmer -- fragments of God.

You can say that about the religious. When you awaken in spirit you have to be true and account for what is known, no longer taking what is, for granted. Light in existence -- forget about your reality -- is an unimaginable quality. What would the senses like sight be without illumination. In spirit -- a human being quality -- is how things are illuminated and realized in person -- unless you're a spiritual inept fool like most CTT followers. Light is a giving energy, like how you can donate to the poor so they can sustain their life a little longer -- in spirit you gave like the Sun(christ) gives to you. This is our connection back to God in spirit -- Christ/Christ consciousness. Christ -- the sun of God -- is very giving, not all choose to receive. To know God is to know him in Spirit. You can't be a scoffer, a disbeliever, athiest, materialist -- you must be true in spirit to acknowledge the truth. This may sound silly to your little reality in your head -- when you become conscious to light, energy, sound, vibration that's not only in the universe, but is in you, and exercising such laws and deeds you may become illuminated through spirit. I am a "product" of the Sun. A marvelous quality and in spirit i am that same quality. I don't need to bieve this as it's factual. Good luck on your journey

[@ArchHades]

I don't see how it logically follows at all that God is "all good". For one thing, if God is to be God he has to be the source of ALL, not just good. If God belongs to some greater reality where he's on one side and evil is on another, he's not God. He'd be 'a god', not 'The God'. Another thing is, a God capable of doing both evil and good is more powerful than just one capable of doing good. A God capable of only good is not all powerful. Lastly there is evil in the world. There is suffering, violence, death, destruction, etc. So the idea of an all good God is simply totally incoherent. It stems far more from human wishful thinking than any objective appraisal of reality.

[@cmdrf.ravelli1405]

God doesn't do

[@ArchHades]

A God that can do both is more powerful. He has less limitations. Also, sorry but God is the source of ALL. So he's the ultimate source of Evil. So clearly not all Good. We wouldn't call a human or any being that did both good and evil things "all good". Logically by definition and evidence of reality he is not all Good.

[@ArchHades]

I'd disagree with that too. A God that can do both the irrational and rational is more powerful. Obviously God has an irrational side hence "chaos" and "chaos theory".

[@ArchHades]

If God created everything God is responsible for chaos. You disagree? Isn't chaos similar to an irrational state of nature while order is the vice versa? Irrationality and evil both exist, therefor God is clearly not all Good.

[@ArchHades]

Your conception of God is not only less powerful. But it's also simply false and not in line with objective reality. "God" being all Good is an impossibility.

@Jon In my case, I have a personal philosophy, and in that philosophy, God is greater than a person since He is greater than anything, and since He is greater than a person, He can behave like a person just like you can behave like a small child to relate to him, but by doing that you don't become a child because being an adult you are greater than a child and therefore you are not a child but an adult by definition. And this is the God in the Bible. But in you have a doctrinal god, who is the same god as the pagan god of the Romans. The Romans mixed up their religion with the religion of the followers of Jesus and created a new religion and then converted everyone by force to this new religion to unify the empire.

Wow! It's amazing how misunderstood God is. God is everything including good and evil as we humans define good and evil. In God's reality it's all just a party of ALL THAT IS. Then He created us in His image and with the "free choice" He gave us WE decide what is good or bad. As His children we have the same ability to create. Do we desire to create something good or create something bad or evil. God didn't create the bad in this world. He created US and we created the world the way it is -with our free will. As the oneness we are (under God) we could create differently, for example if we ALL agreed that nobody on this planet should ever starve to death WE could create such a thing. Don't blame God for something that WE have created. WE created a world of war, injustice,poverty, inequality,ect. God our Father loves us so much that He allows us to create whatever our free choice wants. He cannot interfere with OUR choices since that would make our freedom null and void. We could have Heaven on earth if we were to stop blaming our Father for OUR choices and creations.

[@fineasfrog]

"What you are looking for is what is looking." St Francis This calls for somehow going beyond the ordinary 'subject-object mode of consciousness'. We need to see that what is required is that we come to see that the movement of the mind of consciousness away from itself in forming a thought is necessary to deal with the apparently outside world of objects (food and shelter cars. hammers and kitchens etc.). In short the 'movement of the mind away from itself "by taking thought" is needed. However we also need to be able to see that when we rely only on this process of subject-object consciousness there is insufficient energy available to collect itself. It can never build up the needed potential that allows spontaneous 'insight'. However the trick is to not get caught up in partial insights (i.e. begin thinking about them making more contents in mind) and rather return to allowing the potential to build up in short 20 minute sessions each day without just dissipating it. In this way we become able to tolerate the build up of potential more and more. Little by little our consciousness begins to see in a deeper way and this first starts with a deeper way of seeing into 'what is happening' in our own consciousness and not getting caught up in necessarily following its contents. If we only follow in this way it serves to lower the level of potential energy rather than letting it build up as a kind of felt sense of simple presence that includes whole body awareness and a sense of the body and us being breathed alive.

The vanity of intelligent male apes, seeing themselves in God and God as them. There was a time when trilobites were the supreme beings on the Earth. Was God made in the image of intelligent apes at that time too, or was he a trilobite? If God exists, it's nothing like a person. So Huston Smith was easily the most credible with his "ineffable" description. Those who have had peak experiences, either by temporal lobe stimulation or spontaneously, will report that words cannot describe what they experienced. Then again, many more usual experiences, eg. orgasm are difficult to describe in words too.

That's just not true. We _do_ know that 'consciousness' cannot exist without space and time.

Psalm.34,1 By David, when he behaved like a madman with Abimelech, so he was chased away and went his way. I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! 9 Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! Isaiah.12 1 You will say in that day: "I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, that you might comfort me. 2 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation." 3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 And you will say in that day: "Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. 5 "Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. 6 Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel." David was just a shepherd boy, but thrusted the Lord and he freed him out of trouble all the way until he was seated on Israel’s throne (1000-965 BC) and under him Israel became the big power in the Middle East, ruling the land from the Mediterranean to Euphrates. Later their kings started to turn away from the Lord and Israel lost power and territory until the Babylonians took over all of it. Jeremiah prophesied about this and experienced it. He said that they had turned away from the Lord, the well of living water (Jer.2,13&17,13). The prophets talked about the Israel people as God’s wife, so her children should be God’s children. But this she did not understand, she turned away in idolatry, in this way she became a whore. But the prophets also preached about God’s mercy and salvation and then they also prophesied about the new covenant. The Lord would let them come back to him also like his wife. So the Christian Church is his wife.

However, I find that in the depths of my being I have a great desire TO LOVE. Same with God . He desires our love but it is not required - BUT He needs to love us (and all of His creation.

It demonstrates there is a urgent need for a global educational system, that allows the own exploration and view, with correct assistance to guide in a independent self-confident development. See our world how it is, with our own eyes and understanding, and not the closed-eye version taught to us from someone else's view of his world.

plantinga ... sigh. none of the characteristics he gives to god are necessary. god might not be the creator or itself created or eternal. it's simple enough to say something is eternal but no such "being" is god, a being, intentional, mind-having. parsimony. you cannot simply do more than say these two (the eternal, necessary condition of existence and god) are numerically identical. an implication the judeo christian is made up is the entire feudal bend toward subservience and worship, punishment, the grantor of our desires, among other things; our image of society has moved beyond these primitive moorings. "god" is always timestamped, dated.

[@claudiozanella256]

"Son" of God doesn't mean that Jesus is a "Son" in the common sense of the word - He is no additional individual - but that He DERIVES from God. "DERIVING" from God means that God lost his omnipotence, to become like a normal man: the Son. If He derives from God, this means of course that the almighty God does NOT exist when Jesus exists, i.e. during the whole mankind existence. Thus the almighty God's existence is PRIOR to mankind ("the world has not known you"). This means that - due to his power - the almighty God was able to make all his work already during the period of time preceding the birth of mankind. God doesn't exist now and He is here ONLY IN THE FORM OF A SPIRIT "God is a spirit" (only the relationship with Him exists, it's like having someone on the phone, far away in another far dimension). " No one has ever seen God".

God can't be liked anything one can think or imagine. God is One Only and Singularly Uniquely One. So no one can describe What is God/Allah like except He Himself. He describes Himself in alQuran... 1. Surah Al-Ikhlas, Verse 1: " Say: He, Allah, is One." 2. Surah Al-Ikhlas, Verse 4: "And none is like Him." 3. Surah Ash-Shura, Verse 11:42: ".....…nothing like a likeness of Him; ..." 4. Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 2: " Allah, (there is) no god but He, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all things subsist." In brief He is All-Perfectful Being: He is the Absolutely independent Being, the Almighty Creator of entire universe and upon Him each and every creation in the universe all-dependent. (Details of His descriptions on Himself can be found in alQuran)

[@jamiboothe]

It does not "matter", if god is the space between the matter that we call flesh. There is such a vast amount of space between the nucleus and random electron orbits around that nucleus, of the matter that makes up our bodies, that if space was god, God would be within our very nature, and without our very nature, and encompass the entire universe. If Space was God, then everything is mostly God. We literally swim in God, and are unaware of God, in the same moment.

Jeremiah prophesied about the new covenant. Jer.31,31 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,'for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." 35 Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar-- the LORD of hosts is his name: 36 "If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the LORD, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever." 37 Thus says the LORD: "If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the LORD." The Lord would make a new covenant with Israel, so he was quite sure then, that the heavens above can’t be measured and the foundations of the earth can’t be explored. He put the lights on the sky and made the ocean-waves, it reminds me that the light has wave-nature and it reminds me of the wave-function. There is certainly much up there that we can’t see, because the light has not reached us yet and we can’t see the black holes. So it can’t be measured. Radioactivity lifts up the crust of the earth to become dry land. It is explained by quantum mechanics and the collapse of the wave-function is hard to understand. It seems like the elementary particles have a certain degree of free will. And so have living creatures. If our thoughts are (like) the wave-function, what is our soul then? According to Jesus it is far more important for us that our souls are alive and saved for eternity, than our body survives, so we should first of all be glad that our names were written in the book of life in heaven. But when he rose from the dead, it was clearly the body also. So there is a very fundamental creation in the salvation, God creates something new.

You know what the best type of Father figure that I picture God to be a good father loves his child no matter what his child does he doesn't see fault within him he sees anything that is darkness within his child and wants to turn that into light. He wants to let his child know that he's accepted and he's loved no matter what and that even he makes himself makes mistakes but his mistakes he loves them because he learns from them and that's what he teaches his child. I mean he made Eve and Eve was hungry and yeah he disciplined her but you're supposed to discipline your child but just because she was hungry didn't mean that he kept her out of the kitchen forever she still was able to live learn and grow.. he didn't tell her to go to the gym LOL he offered to pay for her membership to the gym and make it an option LOL.
