29 Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, by the way. This is an interesting conversation.
Thank u 4 takin the time to respond 'n ask. I 'preciate it
Setting aside the scripture citations for a second (argument by appeal to authority generally doesn't mean anything to me),
Wuznt arguin there in that exact quote. Only illustratin. In any case, if the original poster was askin Christians to reconcile what appeared contradictory in her mind concernin words from the Bible: that necessarily required arguin from the Bible (tho i wasn't doin that in that particular quote)
It doesn't require dishonesty though, does it?
i think claimin an idol, or invented God 2 b God requires dishonesty. I think it Is dishonesty. Unhonest
If I imagine an alternative reality built around objectifying or concretizing the experiences of my mind, I may very well honestly believe that what I have objectified is objectively real.
Then mebbe we cood call that self-deceit
Indeed, that would be a necessary part of the objectification of "God."
If God's real, He duzn't need any help bein so
what does it mean to you to say you have a "personal God"? Describe your experience of this "personal God" if you could please?
It means i feel, felt, talked with, listened to, meet/met, encounter(ed), was/am bowled-over, 'n experience(d) Him az.......a Person.
Thanx. Take care.
