The 'Divine' starts where science ends.

I believe that if God really exists (as some people don't believe in God), science is simply one of the creations of God for mankind to learn and make use of. I believe that God gave mankind the power of will (which some might refer to as "God-stuff"). Whether we are going to use it for good or bad purposes, we'll have to bear the consequences of both.

In that sense, Divinity and Science cannot be compared and measured as such using the same scientific techniques and both have got their own set of "SI Units", yet they have a direct relationship; just like the engineer and his design/product.

Thanks.

This God-stuff is nothing but our inner consience!......which guides us at every step whenever we are unable to judge external situations for ourselves. Another important law of nature is the theory of 'Karma' propounded by Eastern spiritual philosophies. This is somewhat analogous to Newton's 3rd law!

Captain Richards or Jesus?


A. Capt. Richards who volunteered to be a hostage placing his life at risk with the Somalian pirates.

or

B. Jesus (The Christian God) who knew in advance that the other 2/3 of his Godhead would allow him to live again Sunday morning?





If Jesus really lived and died, Jesus was not God.

If Jesus died on Friday, and on Sunday morning less than 36 hours later he undied, Jesus made no real sacrifice.

God need not sacrifice! the entire universe is but a physical manifestation of God. He leads by example for us to follow.

Capt. Richards followed God's example of selfless sacrifice!

1> Does God have testicles? Why do you call God a male?

2> He leads by example for us to follow. Would you like to give an example of God's actions in the Bible for us to follow?

(I can give you examples of God's acts that I would not follow)

I’ve addressed God as 'He' by convention just as we tend to address whole of humanity (males and females included) as mankind!

2> He leads by example for us to follow. Would you like to give an example of God's actions in the Bible for us to follow?

I cannot answer your question as I do not follow Christianity.

You can mention examples of acts of God that you would not follow…or not want to follow!

Humankind works for me.

Mother Nature is also problematic. Nature is sufficient for me.

Respectful?

Any example of where I wrote anything not respectful?

P.S. What does 'reverant' (sic) mean?

No issues, to each his own! but remember, political correctness will one day render us extinct!

Well, we cannot equate everything or everyone for that matter.

For eg., man not equal to woman not equal to animal not equal to tree, rocks, sky ,mountains......or nature! The expansion depends on one's line of thought!

P.S. In Nature, 1 + 1 never exactly equals 2.

 

This thread is becoming confrontational. It will be closed if confrontation continues.

State your own viewpoints, but respect the viewpoints of others. We are here to share knowledge and opinion, not to bicker or condemn.

 

1> Does God have testicles? Why do you call God a male?

In many religious systems, God does indeed have testicles, and Goddess has a womb. In other systems, the Divine is more Akashic, without need for gender.

 

I do not think anyone of us here has ever "seen" God. So it might be wiser not to physically compare God as such with humans or other creatures' anatomy.

Believing in God is not like seeing the "truth", it's called having "faith". Confusions very often emerge from the limitation of language itself.

Thanks.

 

God of War is my deity of choice

 

God of War is my deity of choice

Ares or Athena? Ankt or Anouke? Mars or Bellona?

For honor and valor, or for the adrenalin epinephrine high? For skill or for strategy? For savagery or for sacrifice?

Just curios...

BoyntonStu

No, I exactly meant what I said....there was no typo error.

Gender is a sensitive issue and attracts political (correctness ) views, hence i will refrain from commenting on the same as it might result in thread closure.....apart from that it deviates from the topic of interest.
