Define "God"???
Well here are some ways for sure, it does not sound good.
Psalm 2
1 Why are the nations so angry?
Why do they waste their time with futile plans?
2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle;
the rulers plot together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.
3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry,
“and free ourselves from slavery to God.”
4 But the one who rules in heaven laughs.
The Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then in anger he rebukes them,
terrifying them with his fierce fury.
Psalm 37:
12 The wicked plot against the godly;
they snarl at them in defiance.
13 But the Lord just laughs,
for he sees their day of judgment coming.
Psalm 59
7 Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths;
their words cut like swords.
“After all, who can hear us?” they sneer.
8 But Lord, you laugh at them.
You scoff at all the hostile nations.
Proverbs 1
24 “I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come.
I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.
25 You ignored my advice
and rejected the correction I offered.
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble!
I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone,
and anguish and distress overwhelm you.
28 “When they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
29 For they hated knowledge
and chose not to fear the Lord.
There ya go

0It.
No can do lil'brother.
It is what it is. Sis You mean "It" is our soul.... where "God" resides.
You lost me.... you mean "God" is undefinable.... and is God a person or the power that manifests all around(inside/outside) or both in your opinion .... I'm confused.
I think you are on to it Jon, and at a young age. Look within yourself, study yourself, you will find more of the love and the self knowing you seek. Sorry I think it usually takes a long time. edit That sounds condescending, my apologies. I mean to say it is taking me a long time
what is it?
it's it
what is it?
IT'S IT!!!
you want it all but you can't have it....Agreed absolutely.

God is in everything from the newborn babies cry, to the thunder crashing down on a stormy night.
He is security and a safe place to be still
He is a father to the fatherless
And I will never be ashamed to stand up and call him friendYou mean interacting with me in a real way is not enough?
I am real and here. That should be enough defining for you.
I'm curious. Are you saying that I am god? Invisible and all powerful. And defining myself is the same as defining an invisible creator that does not exist?
What a pathetic question. Surely you can do better than this one?No Mark, I'm not saying any of that. I think, with all due respect, you have a bad case of reading between the lines. It was sort of a friendly, smart alec kind of question. Just wanted to see how you would respond.
BTW, if it's means anything to you, I find you intriguing on the whole. The Draino-drain-cleaner approach might be a bit of over kill at times, but on the whole, I think you're very thoughtful.
Have at me if you care. I bear no Draino, or other weapons. Just was intrigued by your response(s).Ah. Just another troll. You will find plenty of company here.
My conscience.
So - god created everything, but not the sin? He did not create that?
Boy your religion is looking more irrational every time you say something.
So - are you saying that the only thing stopping you from being "bad"" is this invisible super being? You cannot make the decision for yourself?Yes - it depends on the morals of the day. Not so long ago, I could have burned you at the stake and claimed god told me to do it because you were a witch.
Probably wouldn't get away with that or having 70 12-year-old "wives" today. Might be OK if there was an oil field involved.?
What do you think? A magical super being put them into my head?
Nice avatar by the way - where did you steal that photo?Something entered your head ,a long long time ago I suspect.
I will leave you with a lil proverb:
Believe in Something or you will fall for anything
Im off again, peel the veges and crack the whip
Still not answering the question huh?
Do you believe every word of the bible?
LOL - God created everything - but not sin. It cant offend you , you dont care remember
Ok hows this scenerio
My father told gave me the teenage daughter pep talk many years ago...he said if this n that , I would be the fool ,as I beleived rah rah and rah...
I said in my heart , my father doesnt know what the hell he's talking about ,, he probably has never been in real love before...( the words of an ignorant youth -right)..
I came home pregnant...the fool had said in her heart , my father doesnt know what hes talking about-consquence-left holding the baby...
Forgiveness , for everyone, tomorrow lol, later

Mark is very lovable and has always been in his truth. It's an admirable trait to never waiver from ones integrity, especially when being attacked from the many righteous ones.
and a fascist, homosexual freemason no doubt!
go away sock puppet!I find Mark to be forthright, honest and decent in all that he does online, and hold him in high regard.
You're out of your mind ..... Mark is a married man.... IMO he isn't looking for dates online.... and Jewels isn't a baby.... she can handle herself.... go get a life dude.
Yes, well said Jon

Read the holy thread... I mean whole thread... no one defined god yet accept me... I mean, except for me but obviously it wasn't worth fighting over.
God is undefinable and probably Sandra has come the closest - It is what it is. Is-ness is a term that describes the state of being with no sense of individuality. Yoga = Union, unity is the state of oneness - ie a sense of being with no sense of individuality.
When a person puts descriptive words to what God is, it puts limitations on something that is limitless. When words are used to describe God, that God is then made personal as the standpoint from which you make those statements is limited by a personal perception.
A Transpersonal perception is more in line with the Whole and not the individual.
God IS everything - the good, bad and ugly, the magnificent and the fallen, the united and separate. To say God is not part of the fallen experiences is a mistake and has left the speaker in a state of only being half of what is within them - that is not whole.God? God is a man made myth. Man has always made gods because of his fear of death and dying.
No proof exists for any god, but proof of "religiosity" abounds!
Proof of evolution is available in hundreds of thousands of scientific papers that show masses of proof, even if you remove Darwin completely you have no where to go.
Opposing scientific views are always loaded like religion and written by religionists.
I could never worship an entity who was more neurotic than anyone who is outside an asylum for the criminally insane.Yes, well said chukra.
My statement is in relation to the god which is proposed by religionists, not by me, there is no proof of god, and I do not believe in any god. Your math is right!
It is a message that is not available to them. They are forced to look only from within their current belief. I know this is so, as I was once the same. Then I learnt more!
Therefore everyone except those who believe what the "courageous" sock puppet believes is doomed! Get a life!

Love is another matter, and one I am happy to say is close to my heart. I even wrote a hub about it!
I'm in complete agreement!
wat a rubbishist?
and from a long line of them.
do you get a crown and robe with that title, it's sort of regal sounding.
It does sound rather "posh"
I am proudly one as well according to our puppet under his other puppet name.
Golly gosh how offended you become. Attack me once again why don't you? You never even offered a proper apology the last time. How very christian of you.
I never called you any such thing.
You were the one using the analogy of god as parent. Then when I present a hypothetical situation you go ballistic.
ciao
Sure is.
You do not know and are unable to define what it is that you are pushing.
Odd that you know what it wants. Don't you think? ....
so why are you in this thread then ?
Nothing else to do ?assuming wrong ! For entertainment go to ´'hang out' You will be 'entertained' there, I'm sure !
Well, meet daniel Carter , maybe both of you can get some Entertainment in the Hang Out !
. This is not a place for nice ladies like you

Is this a fabrication ?LOL
I can indeed confirm that I am not looking for dates online.
Now, Misha...................I fear both brain cells were needed at the same time
What you felt was the result of a brain function that many get at this point. We do not all ascribe it to god! There are sound medical reasons for this experience
