What if God was just lonely and created man hoping to have someone to talk to? The question would remain: are we there yet?

| Would Love To Get High | Quote: There is no line between possible and impossible unless we define it and have absolutes. We are calling all the shots, and we don't realize because we don't want to spoil our own show. Quote: Quote: With that said, who or what could God make you out of? How do you think God is different than all-encompassing, all-powerful, and all-knowing- and why with those qualities, he didn't have a serious dilema involving entertainment and acknowledgement that he solved with everything you can currently see and experience? Isn't that exactly what God did in the Bible? Quote: It's trying to tell us the miracle of the creation, from a being that is so lucky it happened. We are keeping a secret from ourselves- of course it's going to be hard to get around and you won't if you never try. But it is the most beautiful thing I have ever understood: we are the very purpose and will of God, experiencing at all times the most glorious masterpiece of a story that he could come up with. You open up your eyes and see only what you want to see. Whether you look at it negatively or not, that is your will and your emotions are your own. You are in control of your own destiny because there is no one else but God. There is nothing else but the all-encompassing. Quote: Quote: so stoned "LET MY PEOPLE GO" ... couldn't he just snap his fingers or say it in the way that brought for the light??? Did he really need somebody to help him out along the way? I feel it is a metaphor. God needed us, and God became us. That's why he needed to rest, couldn't control others, and needed to team up to get bigger tasks accomplished. He divided his power in order to feel true love of another that was completely unique from himself from what I understand. Quote: I feel that what people believe about life is a holy thing that shouldn't be forced on anyone. All I do is stand by what I see and if others see it that way, great- if they don't I want to hear how they see it. I know I have something to learn from each and every person I meet.

Our views are similar, I hope you can understand my points. because i understand where you're coming from. And it's nice to dispute with someone who has also actually read the Bible and isn't just pulling stuff from their ass.

I totally agree with this "what if" question. But that's just it, a "what if" question. No biblical God = No possibility of this "what if" question. Still though, very entertaining. ![]() Betcha you could piss off some religious nuts with your question...

| Would Love To Get High | Quote: ![]() That definition of chance is not the only definition. It involves not knowing the parameters. Chance can only be because of possibilities. A good way to look at it would be dice: you dictate the possible outcomes from the number of sides, choose how hard to throw them, and if you bounce them off a wall or not. I try to keep my arguments legitiment to avoid wasting everybody's time. Chance is not always something that comes from not knowing the parameters or cause then. Dice are the perfect example of what I'm saying. If you had a seperate computer to do all the calculations and create the dice randomly and throw them randomly- you could certainly predict possible outcomes. That definition of chance requires there to be no reason for the possibilities existing. From someone who doesn't believe in the Creator that makes sense, but to me- it's plain as day that God is the reason. Quote:
Is it any wonder then why we would be questioning? If we wanted to feel this way? Quote:
When everyone sees it differently, then it looks like what we believe in isn't fact. But the thing is, it's just a different perspective on the same thing. When people realize it things will change drastically world-wide. Quote:
Everything is the will and purpose of God. Or it wouldn't be- even things that displease God. The intentions of God are anything you have ever experienced. Quote:
There wasn't anything but Him- absolutely nothing. So God made you out of the only thing he had: Himself. The Bible does not speak of anything else or any other. Quote:
The Father is a part of the All and has much different things about Him. He isn't just possibility- he is undying love and devotion. He can do nothing but love and give. He isn't alone because he has creation. But the thing is... There is no Father without the All. I see the All as the Big Bang and the Father as the God of Abraham. Quote:
It is my purpose to share the wonder and beauty of our existance. The surface is great but what makes that possible has interested me more lately; even if there is nothing to go on but some crazy vision and an understanding of physics. I totally understand where you are coming from. The only reason I share these things is because I experienced it and want others to as well. I am coming to terms with having to paint a picture instead of explain it. It's a lot like a metaphor- people can interpret it any way they want. They could see the same thing but in a different light. Quote:
We are part of the greatest accomplishment of all time. That's all I'm trying to say. Quote:
That's what I feel is the reason for us: If God wanted to give something away, part of him would have to be lacking. For him to want to rest; he must become weak. For him to want to learn; he must become wanting. God definitely has free-will and sometimes he has to sacrifice his power to realize some of his demands. I agree he could want to take a break, yes.

Making the Bible into a metaphor doesn't make the Bible any less amazing. It makes it more believable. Quote:

We couldn't be stronger than God. God created us, we do not have the power to create just multiply. It would take someone a lot stronger than us to create all this.
