Title: Question for God people
Post by: Darren Avey on September 08, 2014, 10:52:44 AM
God made us in his image apparently. Its made me wonder lately. Therefore, does God shit? Does he sneeze, does he itch , does he cut hair and nails. Does he sleep? Etc.

Darren....God made "us" in his image.

He made "you" in an image to amuse "us".

No. God is a Spirit and not a corporeal being.

I think it means we're also endowed with awareness.  Like the bro said, "In apprehension how like a god."  

It doesn't refer to our perishable physical selves.  But that's just one unwashed opinion.

The image of God is not fully defined in scripture, but Jesus Christ is the purest image of God.  

God expresses his nature in a trinity of coequal, coeternal personss in Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  God the Father and the Holy Spirit are divine in nature and are without flesh and bone, while God the Son in Jesus Christ has a dual nature of both divinity and humanity.  Humanity is the highest in God's creation and created with the image or qualities of God in that we can exhibit his love, grace, mercy, peace and judgement to one another (within the scope of humanity).   Christ left the divine and entered into humanity and gave us the perfect example of God's image imprinted upon humanity.

So for me to understand how we're created in God's image we must look to Christ first and examine how he lived his life.  

Hebrews 1:1-3
1 Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2 And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. 3 The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command.

God made us humans different,, we understand that we will die, we see the world, we see the universe.  It is a huge burden to bear that no other creatures have.  God couldn't resist giving us this awareness.  Don't worry about Hell, God owes us all better than that.

seriously i ask myself that same question daily,me n my wife argue all the time about that stuff. bro i used to be the biggest christian alive n i lived the life of one, then when id ask my pastor at church why does god allow that shit if he supposed to be some loving father above,they threw me out of 6 churches and said i was a messenger of lucifer. reason they threw me out was because other members starting saying yeah why does god allow that,the pastor got mad at me n booted me, he tried to have sex with me in the back room 2 times, he tried to force me to blow him but i overpowered him and threw him to the ground where he hit his head on the refrigerator, he started jerking off screaming at me in bible versus calling me a sinner with his cock in his hand, i told him to fuck off n i ran out of the church crying real loud with tears coming down my cheeks

They can't, but the disease and decay and death of humanity has been passed down to each us....every one of us will die.  

Great news for the babies though.  Since they are inherently innocent and thereby free of sin they will spend eternity with God in heaven and avoid any further evil, pain or suffering.

Baptism doesn't bring righteousness upon anyone.....believers are saved by grace through faith.  Baptism is an outward expression of an inward surrender to God....."buried with him in baptism and raised to walk in newness of life."

Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it wrong.   I'm just having a conversation.

The Satanic Bible Quotes (showing 1-15 of 15)
“Love is one of the most intense feelings felt by man; another is hate. Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones.”

The truth of these quotes is found in the notion that all of them will lead to your death and eternal separation from God.  If that's your choice it will be upheld, but I plead with you not to forsake Christ.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
 
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Why would a GOD design life in such a way?  So GOD created us imperfect so he could punish us with decay, disease and death.  Sounds like a terrific guy.  ::)

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
 
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

How do you know that?

how do you know it isn't

the certainty you have is based in faith not fact

I respect your beliefs

but that is all they are

the great thing about your religion is you don't need proof

as long as you believe these stories are facts to you

religion can be the rock in the storm

but it can also close your mind to the uncertainty of it all

i agree,alot of religious people r closed minded and refuse to talk or listen to other peoples faiths or beliefs. in fact most people that talk about god dont even know the bible that good,kinda like a science teacher who never studied science but tries to teach it ::) ive been stuidying the bible from 1980 to about 2005 n know it inside and out(25yrs)

how do you know that?  I share the fact of my experiences with others and most toss it away with a snort of derision.  I am part of the collective proof.

most demand very specific proof of what I'm saying.  I can't reproduce a transcendent, divine experience given only to me....how would I do that?  

I can certainly lead others to God so that they can experience their own revelations of his reality.

at this point I typically get the canned "I feel sorry you" or "you make me sick" or "you're mentally ill".....insert whatever canned ad hominem.

I'm under no delusion I can convince even a single atheist on this board of what I've experienced in Christ, but they're not who I'm speaking to....they're just the only ones posting.  So I'm polite and discuss where discussion is temporarily allowed.  

The folks that what to know the risen Christ seek him out proactively because their hearts yearn for him....some come to me privately for help and I help where I can.

having the certainty of Christ's existence revealed via the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit is everything in my life.  makes scripture come alive and validates his resurrection.  

unfortunately the heartfelt sincerity of my words and genuine desire for others to experience the same as I have is chalked up to nothingness.....I can't overcome that.

there is no test tube or laboratory experiment that will allow me to bottle God.  He's stands beyond us....he is the law and given that we must abide by his standards and come to him in humility and surrender and faith.  my faith did begin with a leap, but it's now rock solid....I have full assurance in the heart now.  it's a more mature faith because of my experiences with the divine and nothing can take those experiences from me.  all I can do is share them with others and answer questions as honestly and fully as I'm able to.  

if you truly desire to know God....I mean sincerely want to know him then I suggest starting with a simple prayer.  as I've stated previously knowing God involves surrender to his will for your life.

good news is you're not unwilling.....you're just not there yet.

dude, I had to almost die before I came to God and surrendered.  I was dying and wanted to die and with no other outs I literally lifted my arms and prayed, "Lord, I have nothing left and I want to know you and I surrender to your will.....use me."  In that moment his holy spirit surrounded me so thickly it felt like moving through water.....Jesus Christ was there.   I had an injury I was dealing with that was taking my life and from the very tip of the top of the injury down the tip of the base of my injury it began to unexplainably tingle as if it was being wrapped or as if hands were being laid upon it.....best I can describe.  

I called upon Christ with humility and surrender when I was at my absolute lowest and BOOM.....he was there.  Changed me....forever.

Now I want others to experience the same in their lives, but you don't have to be at your lowest to do so....that I don't suggest that LOL.

I agree with you, but that's not what salvation in Christ is about.....it's about aligning ourselves with God and avoiding his judgement of mankind.

His level of righteousness is so far beyond our comprehension that even I can't grasp it fully, but I know I've sinned against him and no longer desire to.

No matter how much good we attempt to do we cannot make up for the totality of our sin that separates us from him......Christ bridges that gap on our behalf.

I'm trying not to preach to you either LOL.

again I would agree with you....I can no more predict what's gonna happen next than you can.   but regardless of the seemingly infinite choices we'll make in our day to day I know I'm bound by God's law.....his standards.  

I accept and acknowledge his standards despite my ability to freely violate them and I now hold myself accountable because of them.  

I don't always succeed.....in fact I fail daily but a relationship with Christ spans a lifetime because we'll never achieve his perfection.....as believers we proactively pursue his example nonetheless because of the change he's made in us.

Atheists simply have no belief in any God or gods whatsoever....they make no positive assertion.

Typically it's those making the positive assertion that bear the burden of proof; although that proof can come in varying forms and should not be limited or standardized according to personal whims of those considering it.

Now in light of theists claims many have debated whether or not an atheist position is tenable or not.

All that said, I don't see how the pastor's challenge is all that worthwhile.

God made us in his image apparently. Its made me wonder lately. Therefore, does God shit? Does he sneeze, does he itch , does he cut hair and nails. Does he sleep? Etc.

The bible contains real truth but this particular idea is a false one. The idea that God has created us in his image is absolutely false and SATANIC.

The whole point of this verse is to make people believe that they look like Gods which is one of the main tenants of Satanism - the idea that you are your own God, after all you look like one don't you.

However, even the word GOD is not right. It's also a satanic word. The proper term is the Creator not God. Gods are satanic.

The God of this world is Saturn/Satan. He rules times and anything that you like in this world is his idea.

The Vatican (Catholic church) and all other religions worship Satan/Saturn. That's why you have the black Cube in Mecca. It represents Saturn.

There is no such thing as true mainstream religion. They are all messed up, even Christianity which is supposed to be a Sun worship.

However, Jesus Christ (not his real name) is real and he really did break the machine. The machine of this world is Saturn/Satan which is represented, once gain by the cube.

Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross (which is nothing more than an unfolded cube). This was meant to be an insult towards him.

However, it all failed and Jesus Christ broke the system.

Unfortunately, what they're really pushing to you as a savior is a fake Jesus a.k.a. The Anti-Christ.

All the icons are Satanic and fake. They represent the anti-christ, not the real Jesus.

Question: "What does God look like?"

Answer: God is a spirit (John 4:24), and so His appearance is not like anything we can describe. Exodus 33:20 tells us, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” As sinful human beings, we are incapable of seeing God in all His glory. His appearance is utterly unimaginable and too glorious to be safely perceived by sinful man.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The Bible describes God appearing to people on various occasions. These instances should not be understood as describing exactly what God looks like, but rather as God revealing Himself to us in a way that we can understand. What God looks like is beyond our capability of understanding and describing. God gives glimpses of what He looks like to teach us truths about Himself, not necessarily so that we can have an image of Him in our minds. Two passages that powerfully describe God’s amazing appearance are Ezekiel 1:26-28 and Revelation 1:14-16.

Ezekiel 1:26-28 declares, “Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.” Revelation 1:14-16 proclaims, “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.”  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

These passages represent Ezekiel’s and John’s best attempts at describing the appearance of God. They had to use symbolic language to describe that for which human language has no words; i.e., “what appeared like,” “like the appearance,” “he looked like,” etc. We do know that when we are in heaven, “we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:3). Sin will be no more, and we will be able to perceive God in all His glory.

It's the idea that the inability to disprove does not prove.


Russell's teapot, sometimes called the celestial teapot or cosmic teapot, is an analogy first coined by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making scientifically unfalsifiable claims rather than shifting the burden of proof to others, specifically in the case of religion. Russell wrote that if he claims that a teapot orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, it is nonsensical for him to expect others to believe him on the grounds that they cannot prove him wrong. Russell's teapot is still referred to in discussions concerning the existence of God.

Who wants to continue speaking to someone like that?  And I'm certainly not going to lash out either....won't give folks the satisfaction.

I insult religion, not you. If you can't separate the two, that's your problems. If you're not mature enough to understand that one can "insult" religion without insulting the actual person than that problem lies with you. I think religion is horseshit. Deal with it. Don't take it as an insult.
