    Intercessory Prayer and Omniscience

    Thanks for the replys all. Since I don't see God in anthropomorphic terms I have no problems with my question as it is irrelevant. Because of this I am unfamiliar with some of the beliefs out there and I wanted to some input from those that do believe in intercessory prayer so that I could...

    According To Our Own Measure

    I agree. I don't believe that we can comprehend God but I do think that we can experience God. Essentially, we only have what we know as humans so God is made in that image. Sometimes it is very anthropomorphic and sometimes it is more abstract. Regardless, our view is limited and that...

    Intercessory Prayer and Omniscience

    SoyLeche asked: Fair enough but here is a question for you? Someday your son is diagnosed with cancer and is suffering horribly from it and you know it but do nothing until he asks for help, does that make you a bad person? Dan stated: I feel that this is the logical fallacy of the...

    Intercessory Prayer and Omniscience

    Royol stated: I agree but I still find it an interesting question. SoyLeche: Simple. Because this all-powerful and all-knowing God is supposed to care about us and be involved in our lives. However, why not intervene when the problem happens instead of waiting til spoken to. God knows...

    Intercessory Prayer and Omniscience

    Dan, Thanks for the response. I am refering to humans with problems asking God to intervene and help. If God is all-knowing then God knows what is going on. He knows that you are having some type of problem so why do we then have to ask for help? God should already be helping. God should...

    Intercessory Prayer and Omniscience

    I have a question and this seems to be the best place to ask it. This is for all who believe in intercessory prayer but anyone can answer of course. My question is about intercessory prayer and God. This question is based on the concept of God being both Omnipotent (all-powerful) and...

    Join in the review of the Principles and Purposes!

    Great Discussion. This is why I am proud to be a Unitarian. I am amazed that we are able to question our own principles and in the process we can continue to evolve and grow. I have been observing the United Methodists (my wife is one) and they are in a stuggle over what their principles...

    A Blog Article for my fellow UU's to read

    David, Thank you for sharing that. I am lucky in that I attend a UU church that tends to be tolerant and inclusive of many different views. This does not mean that fundamentalism is viewed with tolerance. It just means that we try to be open to different ideas and find common ground. There...

    Good Bible for Study

    In regards to the Bible study, I like the idea of doing the major books that most affect us as humans and Unitarians. Also, we should discuss their historical, scientific and metaphorical aspects. So, we would study the two Genesis stories as they pertain to creation, the stories of Adam/Eve...

    Our Shared Theology

    For the record, I am not a UU theologian nor a UU minister. There are many others in UUism that are much better qualified than I to discuss a topic such as a shared theology or more specifically a UU theology. There are those that are researching such a subject and writing about it. They go into...

    Good Bible for Study

    Thanks for the opinions everyone. I would be up for a Bible study on-line as it would be nice to work through the Bible with others of a rational and liberal perspective. David stated: I think that this would be a good idea as we would all be using the same guide. Lilithu...

    The Parable of the Spoons

    Here is a parable that I hope all will like. It is called the Parable of the Spoons. Here it is: A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like." The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the...

    Hello To All!!!!

    Hello to All, My name is Joe (yes, another Joe but I go by Chattan) and I am from Oklahoma. I consider myself a Deist and specifically a Integral Panendeist. Deism is my personal theology and methodology while Unitarianism is my covenant community or religion. I will post slowly at first so...

    Good Bible for Study

    I would like to know if anyone around here could recommend a good study Bible. Of course, I want it to honestly portray scripture and the real history and science that should accompany a real scholarly endeavor. Here are the choices that I am considering: 1-HarperCollins Study Bible: New...

    Hello to All

    Hello Fellow UU's, My name is Joe and I am from Oklahoma. I consider myself to be a Deist, specifically, an Integral Panendeist. Now, don't worry, I won't bore you with details about what an IP is as you would probably fall asleep. I have a history in the UU church as I attended as a...
