In order to answer this I would need an example of a prophet that has a different understanding.

3. Does He like beer?

1. That would depend on which moment in time you are referring to. If it is at this exact moment in time, I have no idea, as this topic never came up in our discussions.

2. No

3. See the answer to number 2.(If He does not drink, then He would not consume beer)

Invisible? If you walk up to an electric fence and touch it, do you not get zapped? Yet did you see the electricity? God is a Pure Energy Entity, as such, He is not normally seen, however He can take any atomic form that He desires. It has been mentioned in the Bible that He has appeared many times.

All the Hebrew Prophets, Jesus, Mohammad, The Buddha, The Gurus of the Sihk Religion, The Bahá’u'lláh, Joseph Smith, Aleister Crowley, Neale Donald Walsch, Me...

In short anyone and everyone who has every written a holy text or transcribed a conversation with the divine entity known as God. How do you account for those prophets who have a different understanding of God?

You see, there are only a few different options... You can claim that some were close to the truth, but did not grasp it fully, while others were delusional. The problem with answering this way is that there is nothing to prove that you are not the delusional one. You could claim that your revelation of God's truth is just the latest in a long line of revelations. The problem with this is that you open the door for further revelation, even if you say that yours is the final revelation; just ask the Muslims. You could claim that your truth is a personal truth, in which case we are all experts and need not take your word as final. Finally, you could claim that yours is the only truth and all prophets before you are liars, madmen, or fools. *That* my friend, would destroy your credibility completely.

The problem with claiming to have all the answers is that you are expected to produce solid understandable... answer. If you have those answers, I'm all ears. Yet, you can not expect that these answers will go unchallenged. You make yourself a target by saying you have the skinny with God.

I'm not trying to say you didn't have an experience - I'm merely asking you how you go about reconciliating that experience with the experiences others have had. How you answer that question is a very good indication of serious you truly are.

So far I like your thread ...

So this God you speak of has invisiblity and can become corporeal at will. Sounds like a super-hero.

I was wondering how can you answer questions about God if you are not religious? Perhaps you mean not a representative of any formal, exoteric faith?

Dear TruthaboutGod,

Did God create life?

O.K. You are then asking me to define God? I have answered this question on my website, let me C&P the answer...

"I AM He Who Is the Creator of everything Known and Unknown in the Existence of Reality."

If this still does not answer your question, please help me a little so I can comprehend what it is that you are asking.
