Where is the All-Giving gOd?

Where is the All-Giving gOd?

Can a gOd possibly be Omnibenevolent
without also being....Omnigiving?

How is it benevolent to withhold your
Omni'Potency, and
Omni'Science,
from your offspring?

How is it benevolent
not to bestow your VERY GODHOOD
into the nature and Being of the creation you love?



If gOd is not All-Giving,
gOd is not All-Benevolent.

You can't share the suffering
while holding out on the "hero" power.

If gOd does not also MAKE ME GOD,
he is a hold out.

How can you even BE "Omni" anything
if you are not an 'All-Out' gOd.

If I may... (pose an answer)
I think gOd gives in the same way that we do. Sometimes without realizing.

When it all went down
And the pain came through
I get it now
I was there for you


Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you


I make my plans
Like I always do
But when I look back
I was there for you


I walk the streets
Like I used to do
And I freeze with fear
But I'm there for you


I see my life
In full review
It was never me
It was always you


You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
I can't repair


Making objects
Out of thoughts
Making more
By thinking not


Eating food
And drinking wine
A body that
I thought was mine


Dressed as Arab
Dressed as Jew
O mask of iron
I was there for you


Moods of glory
Moods so foul
The world comes through
A bloody towel


And death is old
But it's always new
I freeze with fear
And I'm there for you


I see it clear
I always knew
It was never me
I was there for you


I was there for you
My darling one
And by your law
It all was done


There for You, Leonard Cohen

Where is the
Omni'present'giving god?
You just looking for a GIVE...GIVE...GIVE God
while you TAKE..TAKE...TAKE ???
Doesn't work that way !!!
A relationship with God means two-way-sharing.
He does the teaching - we do the learning. That is real give and take for our eternal benefit. :)

Well, duh....:rolleyes:
If gOd gave me his/her ALL,
I could ALSO be Omni'present'sharing.

Give him time ! It is his good pleasure to give converted sinners his Kingdom (emphasis on converted). To become converted one has to agree to it. So if nothing is happening look into yourself !
If he gave it all in one go it would blow your mind and you would end up in an asylum with serious overload.

These questions are really directed at those
who believe/see/understand/intuit/create God is/as
Omnipotent, Omniscient AND Omnibenevolent.
(I purposely left out Omnipresent. Whole nother can of worms.)

For the record,
I see/understand gOd more as Omnipotential/"Omni'potential"

First off, it wasn't my intention to be snarky.
(I was reallllly tired)

My computer does not explode,
because I access only a few select pages at a time.
My head does not explode,
on account of all of the gazzilion search engine topic
I could google,
because I select them a couple at a time.
Yet still, I have total internet access.

It should be no less with an Omniscient/Omnibenevolent gOd.
Total "Mind of gOd" access,
"Google God"
and with no bandwidth fees.


psst... please do not (attempt to) prostlytize in my thread.;)

So WHY is it reasonable, or natural
to feel that God should be Omnibenevolent,

yet it is unreasonable, or unnatural
to feel that God should be Omnigiving?

Does it not make sense
that Open hands...
(and Open mind)
might naturally,
and reasonably
accompany
an Open heart?

It's because God knows what you'll do and that not everybody wants to be a sex slave to you ;)

(don't ask me why)

I can't imagine.

Ok, so let me clarify then,
the questions in this thread
are of a rhetorical nature.

They are not about me "looking for something".
