Who is God? - I know the answer but i want to hear from you all first!
You mean you Want the Last Word on this matter???
I respectfully disagree, which is great because we all have that liberty and freedom to believe as we wish. That alone should be celebrated.
I believe God, the Eternal Father, is corporeal. As a perfected being there are means beyond our comprehension for God to beget, without number as we know it, many sons and daughters. We were individuals, along with our gender identity, prior to mortality when we lived and learned from our Father. As such we were taught the principles of salvation, progression and exaltation.
We accepted the Plan endorsed by the Father and the Son over that of he who was cast out along with a third of all the hosts of heaven. Because we accepted it, we were granted to progress into and through our second estate, mortality, which journey the third who were cast out shall never know. What was the basic difference in the plans? The agency of man or choice and accountability.
I respect your views and wish you well on HubPages and all elsewhere.
just had a vision of 1,000 of belly dancers doing the hokey-pokey.
I know...beyond me too!
Everyone knows who God is....it's Ronald McDonald
EH?....
Claim from assumption. maybe proof for a change ?
Probably because to be grammatically correct, she should have written:
Fortunately, society's definition of God does not exist.Yeah, sorry. I was an English teacher once. Some habits are hard to break.
No, you need to be blind, unable to read and gullible for that!
Yes, I have proofs that New Jersey exists. I have maps, tel numbers, pics and friends that had lived there.
I don't have maps, tel numbers or pics of GodI have Faybe, but it was a helluva a long time ago! I can't remember much about it, as I was not a big fan of sci-fi. My sister owned the book as I recall.
Also true, but I'm bettin on New Jersey myself.
because if proof is needed I feel pretty sure I could find it. I have been there by the way.Google maps!
NJ is there, no sign of heaven though!
Time to mention more of gods love from the bible!
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)
Lovely book!Ah yes, god loves everyone! Almost! Apparently Haiti was gods work too. According to the bible.
The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and furiously destroys his enemies! The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. At his command the oceans and rivers dry up, the lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wilt. In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence. The LORD is good. When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge. And he knows everyone who trusts in him. But he sweeps away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He pursues his foes into the darkness of night. (Nahum 1:2-8 NLT)Not my words, the word of god from the bible.
Well said. The lizard brain kicks in when we are frightened too.
An experiment that bypassed this stem part of the brain was conducted more than 40 years ago, resulting in a massive change in behaviour of a psychopath.
The doctor used a galvanic probe, then hooked it up to a battery that the patient carried.Hiya Fabe baby!
Nice to see!I published a hub on Gypsy Rose Lee today, took all day, as I got a headache from the Computer glare and had to lie down. LOL
Oh shoot and this is a religious thread, but I know she believed in God.That's a bit tricky Faybe the use of "probably" with definitely threw me.
So that is why I am happy!
@britneydavidson...
First of all, I want to apologize to you in case I offend you or your faith in the following passages...
britneydavidsonposted 5 days ago
Our father is incorporeal and in same way we are incorporeal ( we are also soul, as body is our costume) ...Child of one father is possible only in soul conscious form...So now again father has come to give us our virtues. We have to understand how the God is and how we are his child.
a)Two and a half thousand years ago, the philosopher Xenophanes said ‘If cattle and horses and lions had hands and could paint and make works of art with their hands just as people can, horses would depict the gods as horses and cattle would as cattle’. He had a good point and we can see that every god ever believed in bears the stamp of human manufacture.Our gods tend to reflect our human environments and personal prejudices.

@HOOWANTSTONO, i want that answer that every one should agree and accept.
There should be some logic or something that one should think yes --God is this????
IF I say God is light ( energy) what do you all think ? any doubt or suggestion??
a) If you say god is light, then the zippo I use to lit my cigars is also god, the light that reflects from TV (while watching porn) is also god. b) Science has proven that each type of energy has its own limitations. If God is energy then he has his limitations as well.

reall great I am agreed with your statement ( Proof is nothing more than logic applied...)
I have not seen New Jersey then i can't say it is not exists same way we have not seen God but we can feel his presence by some way
a) Because of the complexity of its nature, Philosophical perspectives consider 'The Ultimate Truth' as multidimensional. Meaning: you are trying to see the whole picture with your limited human knowledge, from a single biased point of view. As a result what you might believe to be the beard/moustache of Zeus, could just be the asshole hair of a donkey.
britneydavidsonposted 3 days ago
our body looks same like when we are live only the soul goes away and take a new birth.....If we do good in this birth then next birth will also be good...
a) Seems like you are into Reincarnation theory. The best advocates of reincarnation theory can be found in Zoroastrianism, Hinduism & Buddhism. Each concept has its flaws.
The easiest way to nullify this concept is to compare the historical data of human population to the current population of the world. You will find that regardless of their sins & crimes, human population is ever increasing, so is their living standard and knowledge

...We know that if we do good then in return something good happens to us and same vice a versa.
Not necessarily true. There are millions of cases where certain person got punished and suffered violent death even after doing good deeds. i.e. Jesus Christ himself - after all that sharing n caring n loving, he got crucified.
britneydavidsonposted 2 days agoin reply to this
God is one! That we all religion should be understand. Then only it is possible for us to know God and reach to God.
a) Previously you stated that God could just be some sort of energy. If it is some sort of energy then numbers wont fit it. i.e. we don't say that its a gravity, an electricity or a light . Since we are unaware of the nature of god, it would be unwise to claim that God is one, or two, or many. b) Other than that, no one has proved that paganism is completely flawed and superior to monotheism.
Conclusion:
Claiming to know the ultimate answer is one type of blasphemy. Considering the fact that an enlightened one would not waste his/her time in hubpages. Now lets get back to your main question: Who is God??
If you are looking for an answer based on faith and spirituality, then there could be thousands of answers. Its your decision which one to choose. But If you are looking for an answer based on factual evidence and rational explanation, then you can take a look at this:
God is one of the greatest creation of human imagination. A strong supporting point for this claim is that throughout human history, we find different humans (i.e. moses, budhdha, christ) spreading the concept of god/gods. We have never seen a God who came to us to prove his existence or to preach his religion. Not a single physical evidence exists which can be verified by scientific tests to prove the existence of God/Gods. The psychology of faith tells us Fear of the unknown and our helplessness makes most people believe in God/Gods. This is one reason why superior personalities like Napoleon,Hitler did not care about religion & why the majority of poor people are more submissive to God/Gods@Cheaptrick
As far as I’m concerned, there are already many super computers which possess greater computational abilities than general people. However, computational ability should not be compared with creativity and innovation. By 2050, we might have AI's with such computational ability but not necessarily they are going to possess human creativity, innovation & critical thinking ability.
Anyways, here goes my response to your request: The possibilities you are talking about would vary depending on the time line of the continuum. Since you did not mention any specific time period, depicting the next point on the mentioned continuum would be difficult and hence, you might find my answer quite vague.
In order to depict a point in the future, we need to refer to our past. If we look back past into this continuum we find some common trends of mankind: i) Survival, ii) Growth of knowledge & understanding, iii) Development of human morale & ethics, iv) Improvement of law & justice and finally v) the spread of Globalization. There are numerous possibilities for the next point on this continuum. But no matter whatever the possibilities are, these common trends are definitely going to affect it.
I believe you were looking for a more specific answer like- Robots outsmarting humans by 2100 or inter-galactic travels by 2200. I have already mentioned that my answer would be vague. But you can get your answer if you go through the above mentioned trends like this:
i) Survival – Humans use their environment for their survival & try to control it. i.e. robots, no matter how smart they will be, would be kept under control for the purpose of our survival
ii) Growth of K & U – You might see genetically engineered humans with super intelligence (surpassing the abilities of AI’s) by 2200.
iii) Development of human M & E – The morale and ethics of Humans might become so high that they will even treat animals with great respect. There is a high possibility that most humans would become vegetarians & will stop eating animals.
iv) Improvement of L & J – Nationalistic sentiment, international politics & sovereignty will find new meanings. Humans will find better ways to preserve peace on earth.
v) Globalization – we might see inter-galactic trade & communication by 2500.
I hope this works for you
No, it is a myth from a book written by a handful of Afghanistan goat herders, just like it reads.
The whole thing is bits and pieces of much older stories selectively chosen and edited by the church of Rome to suit their disgusting agenda.See you later then. I keep working while I'm here. My businesses are online these days.
