Your God

belief follows God

or it becomes another path in some other direction

are you moving toward God?
He might then called …...'center'

if He is moving toward you......you are the target

Too many beliefs and human paths are worn and deep, and diverse with many different directions, conflicting and contradictory.

This is human issue of making choices.

The God Almighty need not make choices. The nature of th Omnipotent Omnipresent God and the Divine is what it is absolutely without alternatives.
oh...so more like......the Force be with you

Do you believe God can make a choice and not be God anymore?
to let go the power of creation?
it seems He has done so.....

to let go the event of being First?
nope.....

to return to the past and be alone?
likely not

so.....He was First
and to return to the beginning without us...…..
He would need to destroy......us

This basically reflects a belief, and does not respond to my posts. Polite egocentric euphamisms do not address the

Everyone believes they are making the right choice and 'choosing well,' in many diverse conflicting and contradictory choices.

and they have done so......or not

what?.....no consequence for having errored?

Having errored? By which of the many diverse, conflicting and contradictory human perspectives have people failed?

Who can determine God's standards for failure?

Errm. I think you took that too far and missed the point. Anyway, cheers. Have a great day.
 

Muffled

Jesus in me
have you considered?....your God
might not want to be ….YOUR God

have you thought about rejection?.....and the silence that follows

I see the notion is movie script now and then

some one who once knew the Voice of God
but a falling out brought pronouncement...…
He doesn't talk to me anymore

or maybe He is already ….quiet

I believe He is my God by my choice.

I believe there is no question I am chosen:
1Cor 7:23 You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.

1Pet 2:4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,

Jesus in me
Vanakkam

Silence always tell a lot more than words. Teaches more than sermons.
No need for talking, then. It's shallow.

Whenever my gods fall silent it is not rejection to me, it's just part of the way. Only in silence we grow.

Aum Namah Shivaya

I believe the saying in Christian circles is that God hasn't stopped talking to you; you have stopped listening.

I believe that happened to me. It was easy to rectify; I just started listening again.
 

Muffled

Jesus in me
I don't think if a God can not be heard of the people who wish to follow him/her/it. it is the God who does not speak to them, it is more likely that it is the human beings ow fault they lost "connection" with God. meaning it is the human being who must work harder spiritually to be able to hear God again

I believe sometimes people don't know how to listen or are listening to the wrong things. The worshipers of Baal didn't get an answer because their god was worthless. They were trying to listen to the wrong god.

have you seen the news lately?

I have been looking at the news for over 60 years, studying history for millenia, and nothing has changed concerning human failure. There is no lately. All humanity misses the mark. Its the nature of being fallible human.

The answer is so simple. If God did not want to be your God, you would have never existed in the first place.

God is above the petty things mankind holds so dear. God is never angry. God never has wrath. God is never vengeful. God is Unconditional Love.

I would say God is neither. God is God, neither conditional nor unconditional. These are problematic judgments from the human perspective.

I like your choice of quote

but as we are still breathing.....we remain at risk of judgment

not buying that

God became God ….in the beginning.....in the darkness
He declared Himself.....I AM!
and the light came forth

and though God is not drawn into petty things.....
He moves to extinguish them

vengeance is Mine....saith the Lord
