Questions that believers cannot answer

[samtonga43]

Ah, so I can only believe in those 4 religions deity. Weird.

What’s weird is that you think I’m telling you what to believe.

Also, your definition doesn't appear to be in the dictionary afaict

Merriam Webster
Definition of GOD

Closest is this: (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
But I'm not a monotheist, or Christian, so the definition doesn't apply.

Fine. Did I suggest that it should apply to you?

Not explicitly, but this being the General Debate Forum, it's an implicit assumption. There are discussion forums elsewhere for the non-debates.

So, when you and I offer different dictionary definitions of the word 'God', each of us is assuming that her/his preferred definition should apply to the other?

Is this really what you are saying?

 

[Muffled]

True.

But we all cross the bridge at some point. Where we will know.

I believe that is an assumption.

 

[Muffled]

I don't need my Gods to be "perfect" in order to help me reach towards being a better person.

I believe you are correct but you will need God to get you there because striving is not enough.

 

[Muffled]

God is not perfect?
Then He is not God.

I believe he is referring to gods and they are definitely not perfect and not all powerful either.

 

[The Hammer]

I believe that is an assumption.

All of us face death at some point, is an "assumption"? Not afaik.

That's why my Gods walk beside me on my path . They help me reach my goals. One day, one step at a time.

Yeah... All powerful is not something I attribute to any God.

In this section of the forum, that tends to be the case, yeah.

Don't like that assumption, post in discussions, not debates. Discussion will treat you as an equal, debate will treat you as an obstacle. (Hopefully)

LOL! Sorry, Hammer, I just cannot see you as an obstacle to my Christian faith. That would be ridiculous.

I would hope not.

But we are all a villain in someone's story. So there's always that.

There are no villains in mine.

I believe death is real but a bridge is fantasy. One does not have to cross; one simply releases ones hold on the physical.
