The essence of God does not include human frailties, such as partiality, the desire to control, favoritism, judgementalism, wrath, righteous anger, resentment, limitation, arbitrariness, vanity, revenge, jealousy, retaliation. vulnerability or locality.
Originally posted by NicolaasAre these the only truths about God or are you preparing for the verbal section of the SAT?
God is the ultimate context for our existance.
God is both manifest as the Totality and Allness of Creation and simultaneously unmanifest as the Godhead, the Infinite Potentiality and source or 'voidness' prior to from.
God is infinite beyond time or depictions of space or locality, without beginning or end.
God is omnipresent, omnipotent, and ...[text shortened]... e or space.

Nemesio, read from the start of the thread, you'll understand.
they simply disagree with him. I am concerned that he does not know what
the term means. Also, he has made assertions that I find to be of questionable
ethical nature which he asserts are perfectly legitimate.
In either case, he refuses to defend his accusation/assertion with any reason.
I was hoping for a definition from him in an effort to try to unravel what I
consider to be a very mysterious position.

What about the rude remarks made to me (or us, whoever is with me). Isnt that also questionable? We simply disagree with them, the disagree with us.
Ppl tend to not read the thread headings. It purely says, "The Truths about God". If they dont believe in it, they are very welcome not to enter or read any of the comments. BUT! they do come in.
Why?
To force us not to believe, while they are saying we force them to believe *Shaking my head and smiling 🙂
Who is forcing who now??????????????????????????????????????
Originally posted by howardgeeHow can a person quote the Bible if they did not have the original thought of quoting the Bible in the first place?
Real debate is impossible with people who simply quote the bible without ever having an original thought of their own.
It speaks volumes if you are unable to counter anything written in the Bible.

Some come in question in sincerity.
Some come in to learn.
Howardagee knows which one he is. Ivanhoe does not.
This is my concern.
