The problem with the statement "God is good."

And to the source, or causality:
Take a breath, drink some water, wound your wounds.
That is Life being taken in, one's spirit grows with this.
From the egg of the mother and the sperm of the father,
comes the spirit of life within us, and the start of all.
No creator needed, no universal `God` or idol or myth.
And the spirit within matures as one matures, in growth,
as we add to our gnosis, knowledge is totally acquired,
and we also mature to the death and then return to all.
NuffStuff

I guess that's a No, you are not with me.
That's cool.
Since you seem to have it covered, I guess the only thing left to do is... Let's wait and see.
 
Where do we start?

So I'm a prophet, and I remember going to church telling myself to stay in my chair. Thinking that is nearly 100% certain I am the only one in this place who has witnessed god, but I'm trying to behave...

It's a marketing scheme, it has to be. These mofos... god is way too vast for some mediocre label such as good. It gets me lit up. OK, I'll sit down, now. ;)

If one states that "God is good," there are two possible meanings. Either 1) "good" is some quality outside of God, and thus, one is implying that a morality greater than God exists outside of God itself, or 2) "Good" is simply, by definition, part of God's nature, and thus, the statement is trivial. God is "good" is equivalent to stating "God is God." In other words, either God's goodness is defined by some standard of morality that is outside of God, or "goodness" itself is simply defined as being an attribute of God, that is, whatever God does is good. In this case, God is amoral, because by this definition, God can do whatever God wants, and no matter what it is, it is good, because whatever God does is good.


What is 'good'?

Matthew 7:11 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"


So, myself being 'evil' know how to 'give' good... But I'm not 'good'. But God is 'good'?


Why can God be 'good' but I can't? Why am I 'evil'? What do I do that is 'evil'? How can I be 'evil' if I give good and do 'good'? What is this I'm evil but i do good and give good, talk about? Because for you information, to do good and to give good means that that person is good. I don't know from where you might get your information, but around here, this is how it works, thank you very much.

Now be *gone with it...



*now this is good, right?


Justin Timberlake net worth: Justin Timberlake is an American singer, actor, entrepreneur and producer who has a net worth of $230 million.

age 37


Mark Elliot Zuckerberg
age 34

Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth tumbled nearly $20 billion in less than two hours Wednesday afternoon as Facebook stock took a hit in after-hours trading.

net worth after 20 billion tumble: $63.6 billion


It will take Mr. Zuckerberg 127.2 years, with no accrued interest, as is, to spend his current net worth of 63.6 billion u.s.d, if he spent 500 million u.s.d per year for each consecutive year.


That comes to roughly: 41.66 million u.s.d per month/every month for 127.2 years to spend his current net worth, with no additions nor subtractions. Or, 1.34 million u.s.d per day. Or, 55,833 u.s.d per hour/per hour for each consecutive hour/24 hours/ 7 days. etc...



And monies doesn't grow on trees. 'Persons' puts them into others' possession's.


At 34 years of age, he sure does have alot of 'loving faithful' that support him.


If he were to fly to Paris and then to italy each day, he would be spending roughly 15,000 u.s.d each way but spending over 19 hours on a plane. So to spend 1.34 million u.s.d. per day might get a little cramped of space if not properly planned.

You know what else he could do?

He could help Palo Alto City out. He could help the City of Palo Alto out. After all, I think he might know some persons who live there.


For those days he wasn't spending his 1.34 million u.s.d/per day amount, he could be seeing if The Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce could use any assistance or maybe even sitting in with the City's State's Department(s) to see if they would be willing to accept that unused day's amount of 1.34 million u.s.d for whatever purpose they, The City of Palo Alto, might have.

Home - Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce, CA


Which might and could mean that the residents of Palo Alto, CA would get to know Mr. Mark Zuckerberg as well as the Senators do. And at age 34, he could still 'hang' out or be a mentor to the young ones of Palo Alto, if he wanted to.

So, what is 'good'?

God is 'good'. I'm evil. God causes all the 'evil', such as myself, to live daily even though I know how to give and do 'good' things. So what could it all mean that God is 'good'? Since God is 'good', why doesn't He just stop all the pains and sufferings?

Because, look. There are many places on the Earth that might not be as blessed as Palo Alto with a Mr. Mark Zuckerberg living within it. But they are not 'bad' for not having such 'goods', are they?


So could 'good' be 'blessings'?

Then what are 'blessings'?


What would be a blessing to:

Hydrogen will never be a full solution to our green energy problems

Hydrogen will never be a full solution to our green energy problems



Had China foreseen a pollution problem within China in the past, they might have/could have altered their progress path(s).


So currently, there are 7.6 billion or so persons on Earth now. In 82 years, in the year 2100, it is 'estimated' that there will be 11.3 billion or so persons on Earth then. The vast majority of the current 7.6 billion persons on Earth now, will not be on Earth in 82 years. But there will be 11.3 billion persons.

We currently see how many are unemployed and without 'homes', or homeless. And we also see the amount of 'cars' on the streets. This with the current 7.6 billion persons.


What do you 'foresee'? What is 'foreseeable' in your future sights? With 7.6 billion persons, what might they all 'foresee'?


Cleaner? Easier? Less Anxious? Less restrictive? More abundant?

individual personal finance(s) is one thing. What about the others?
