God, undefined:

[Tonymai]

God can only be experienced by those who are interested in religion regardless the denominations. God is spirit a fragment of whom lives within each man. This truth is the basis for man's religious urges (theists, or non-theists). Intelligent men under spiritual influence can not help to put part of their attention on religion (or spiritual matters).

Animals have no such spiritual urge because God does not live in animals.

Greetings within this Friday morning gentle folk,

Paul/Saul gave to the Greeks his interpretation of their unnamed God.
Swampy offers for consideration that God, as is, simply is and other than that, is undefined within the concepts of our mental constructions.

Do not religions attempt to package God within parameters of what God must be and cannot be? This endeavor to paint God with the mind includes the desires and the dismays of God, according to the minds of those who would present portraits of God. Can any person(s), with any accuracy, partially, much less fully, define God?

When definitions clash between people as to their interpretation of God, do they not often result in antagonism? Is this the God that one serves, or is this the individual serving one's own determination and thus one's own ego?

Just some boggy rambling before the weekend. As always, my best, and....

dance a bunch !!! :danana:

Hi Westy,

Is God all inclusive? If not, where did the rest come from?

Not sure I have any idea what I'm talking about :sorry1:

But approaching a concept of God, is not the same as being approached
BY God.

And this will happen at some point.
You are not your own handiwork.
And someday, Someone will come around to see what came of the dust.

The only way to avoid this, is to simple not stand up when you die.
Follow your body into the grave, and eternal darkness.

In the meantime, say of God whatever you will....
and be prepared to meet your expectations.

I think you completely misunderstood me

Words or thoughts can not define the "profound" and "sacred."

Unless one is psychologically constituted such that words and thoughts simply must define the profound and sacred.

God does not fit within the realm of definition.Thats just man trying to control or should I say serving ones own ego?

And in what manner?

You either possess thoughts and thinking about God....or not.

You can do so in the positive or the negative...as you please.
But in so doing...terms....are applied....conceived.

I wasnt referring to thinking about God, but the fact that what the concept of "God" points to, is something beyond the concept of "God."
