The 10 Commandments

Let us suppose God has feelings.

If man has the power to change God's feelings, then man is more powerful than God with respect to controlling God's feelings. Since there exists a power that man has and God doesn't, God cannot be omnipotent.

I see and you know this because of your experience with the
omnipotent over how long?

Ever since they were defined to be "having all powers" or "being all powerful".

Okay, having all power and being all powerful, has what to do with pain?

You told me pain was a feeling.

You told me that man has the power to impose that feeling upon God, for example
by failing to remember the Sabbath.

No I said that God could feel pain, His caring for His own is enough to
cause it. It isn't like inflicting pain upon God during an attack.

So, are you now saying that I don't cause God to feel pain when I fail to remember the Sabbath?

Are you saying that I do not hold the power to cause God pain in my decision to obey or defy his commandments?

Are you saying that God always feels pain, by virtue of his constant caring for me, and that I can do nothing to increase or relieve that pain?

Should a being that always feels pain qualify as perfect?

I never said that I caused God to feel pain when I fail to remember
the Sabbath, you did.

I'd say someone who does not feel for another is not perfect, but
a rock or something dead inside.

Oops, you're right, you never said that.

I never said it either, though. In fact, I denied it, saying that I don't believe
my forgetting the Sabbath necessarily causes pain to anybody.

RBHILL is the one that made the claim that God feels pain when His
commandments are broken. I took your first post here as an implicit
adoption of his position.

It's hard to keep the record straight when Ivanhoe intervenes with his
childish outbursts.

Do you recall a time when Robodmod automatically censored Nemesio from saying modicum? My, how times have changed.

The Ancients would copulate en masse in their fields to promote a fertile crop, where have we gone wrong?😛
