cyrexx:

do you know that your prayers will fall on the deaf ears of your imaginary sky daddy, as usual.

wake up, friend. it is humans like us who created the concepts of god (Allah and Yahweh) in their minds in their own image after their own likeness.
Could you please tell me who created humans. How do we come to be?

Why would you want to know? Of what use is the story of the first man to you?
What kind of story do you want to hear? One based on reason or one based on faith(evidence of things not seen)?

let us start with this: what informed your knowledge that man was indeed created?

Am surprise,this is absolutely ridiculous,how could some people lack so much respect for their maker and the maker of their past generation? God is the all powerful,almighty,the I am that I am,the God that looks upon d earth and it trembles,the God that touches the hills and it smokes,He is the only one whom's words could catch a fallen star.He is merciful,a friend,a father every good thing there is.

A smart person should know that the earth is too too grand,verse and complicated,organized to have emerged from the blue, rather suddenly by it self, this includes humans as creatures.Just like brilliant architectures,state of the earth cars does't just emerge from the blue,some one has to be responsible for it's creation.

I have been misunderstood. If i say God makes alive. God is good. God is awesome.God is love. I will be regarded as a good christian, but now, i say God is a killer, i am now called an atheists or an unbeliever. I believe that all the wonderful defnitions about God is a common knowledge. What we need to know is that the same God that can raise the dead also has the power to kill. God is a merciful God, God is a God of judgement. He will surely Judge YOU. You can escape it. The judgement of God may seem not to be coming, it may be slow, but surely, the judgement is sure. The truth is that the way God does it may be misunderstood by many people even to his servant the prophet.

Besides, i did not write the Bible, i am only confirming the scripture, it may not be my best defnition but it is the truth.

God has been good to me. I dare not speak against him, not even his servant(MOG) infact, i detest any thread on nairaland for bashing men of God. It is against my christian principles. I prefer to encourage men of God, and also pray for them. I know what it takes to be a leader. It takes the grace of God to lead a church.

The bottomline is that we must not only Know God from one side and neglect the other side of him.

If what i have done is a sin for calling God a killer, i sincerely ask for forgiveness from God. May God forgive me. Amen.

I am also using this opportunity to apologize to my fellow christians on nairaland that consider my defnition as a way of bashing christianity. No! I will never do that, i am only confirming the truth about the other side of God.

God is unimaginable.

God bless you all.
God2man.

This your statement merely assumes what it wishes to prove. Any attempt to "explain" anything requires a higher context within which it can be understood. To ask for the explanation of the "natural universe" is simply to demand a "higher universe."

The universe is "all there is." It is not a thing. A god would certainly be a part of "all there is," and if the universe requires an explanation which you assume is god, then god requires a god, on and on and on ad infinitum.

The mind of a god would be at least as complex and orderly as the rest of nature and would be subject to the same question: Who made god? If a god can be thought eternal, then so can the universe.

There is design in the universe, but to speak of design of the universe is just theistic semantics. The perceived design in nature is not necessarily intelligent. Life is the result of the mindless "design" of natural selection. Order in the cosmos comes from the "design" of natural regularity. There is no need for a higher explanation.

The design argument is based on ignorance, not facts. Failure to solve a natural riddle does not mean there is no answer. For many years since ancient past, humans have created mythical answers to "mysteries" such as thunder and fertility. But the more we learn, the fewer gods we need. God belief is just answering a mystery with a mystery, and therefore answers nothing.

God2man: My own Biblical definition of God can be found in Deuteronomy 32: 39 - 42
" See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I KILL, and I make ALIVE; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgement; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy."

The truth is, GOD IS A KILLER.

Hebrew 12:31 " It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God"

God bless you.
God2man.
Pls God2man, can u justify the point where u wrote... 'the truth is, GOD IS A KILLER'. I just dnt get it, pls clarify
Re: What Is Your Own Biblical Definition Of God? by dasparrow: 10:08pm On Aug 05, 2012
@Post

My definition of God for me is:

The Alpha and Omega. The I am that I am. The begining and the end. The Ancient of days. The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, David, Elisha, Elijah, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. The Faithful One of Israel. The Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent God. The Lover of my Soul. The Mighty One in battle. The one that answereth by fire. My provider. My deliverer in times of trouble. The Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Lily of the Valley. The Bright Morning Star.

Let me stop there.

Everyone should read that portion of the Bible.
Re: What Is Your Own Biblical Definition Of God? by illicit(m): 12:03am On Aug 06, 2012
the old testament god is obviously an hypocrite, a rascist, an opportunist, a partial and mindless being, a murderer, a con and a liar also a cheat.
while that of the new testament is a fictional character, so nothing can be said of that.

Reyginus: Am disappointed in some atheist trying to derail this thread.Why must you participate in the celebration of what you dont believe in?

Belief in God isn't needed to have a valid biblical definition of him; just an understanding of the relevant language, and a means of expression.

Now, one thing is certain: the bible God (Yahweh/Jehovah) is a tribal god of the Jews. This is a most important point. Once that is understood, the rest of his behaviour in the bible could be grasped, up to and including that of Jesus the Christ, who became the face of the Jewish god.
