    So I think god was
    A middle eastern man.

    I mean..
    You hear things like

    "Ayo yuhn man! God was a black!"
    "I oughttta know better. I been more edumacated, God is a white man!"

    Now I'm saying he is middle eastern.

    I mean, I have a reason for this its not liike its out of the blue.
    MAry and jesus are middle eastern, why wouldn't god be?
    + Gods and religiosn was first created in the middle east an adopted by others

    Then again... I think God is a little piece of everything.

    Who is God anyway? There's 574867 million of them. But who is our "God". Its too mysterious.

    I want opinions, what do you think?
    (what god is, who he is)

    P.S sorry for my bad spelling, I dotn really read what I type and I get lazy to fix it since its just forum bords/

    I think we will be surprised to see God. He may be whatever color the person is - being seen through their eyes, not ours alone.

    True.. Yea everyone sees him diffrently.
    I just wish I kenw who "god" is. He is an unnamed figure, we have no clue what he looks like. That's why I question my religion sometimes. How can I believe in something that I don't evenn know if it existed for sure.

    God is not a literal person. God is a Spirit. One can feel the Spirit of God, one can hear Him, but I have never ever known anyone who has seen the face of God. If God did not exist, we would cease to exist. For me, it is that plain and simple. Others will disagree and that is their right.

    I can't bash the guy. No one can prove his existence or if he doesn't exist. I believe in God but sometimes I have doubts

    I have heard people meeting Jesus and havign there MAry pictures of her leaking oil, or crying.

    I would be scared S***less if that ever happened. I love the lord but I wouldn't want to be waken up in them middle of the night

    "Renee! It is I Jesuss! :-D" *Heavnly music plays*

    My grandfather claims ot be visited by Jesus. Whe nhe was I nthe hospital he said someone pushed him on the bed and he saw him in white and he said "ITs not your time to go, your a strong man, I want you to get up"
    And my grandfather was fine after wards butt hen he died :[

    I agree with Shy,
    Even the Prophets and messengers have not seen God like they see other humans.

    And God cannot be put in a label we humans use,black or white or "middle eastern" or Asian.These are all worldly terms used by humans.

    Oh, for me I always say God as a person, but like some big guy who is 865468754 feet tall that flaots around in the sky, just chilling. I never really thought of him to be a spirit.
    Yea, messengers used to hear him and report back, but wasn't that with another God? Or... same god were talking about?
    Like.. a person... who ebcame a spirt :) Yea that makes sense, right?


    I wish we were polytheistic. Then we can like name all our gods.
    Id have the craziest names xD

    Marzapan741, why don't you just ask God to reveal himself to you, who He is and keep asking until he does? You won't know the answer to the question you ask from other people only from experiencing it personally from God himself.

    It has been One and the same God always, it is the humans who have been confusing and creating Gods to fit their own perceptions.

    Live your life and I'll live mine. I don't go around damning you to hell so how about you lay off others as well.

    I don't know YOU only what you write.

    I am not the one damning you, I am only telling you what I know to be true... you have indicated you know what the Bible says and you know that is what I believe, end of point

    I don't think I was reasoning, I think I was asking why God is not a noodle. I believe that the question is valid and I await an answer.
  • Sep 20, 2007, 01:29 PM
    Marzapan741
    Uhm okay a noodle is a type of food. Unless we were polytheistic and belvied in Animism that everything had a soul, then I wouldn't beg to differ
    This case the God of Christianity is a spirit (or in my POV a human)
    Not a food.

    Okay I actually took that offensively.
  • Sep 20, 2007, 01:49 PM

    Why is God being a human less absurd to you than God being a noodle? Could you possibly be biased because you are a human?
  • Sep 20, 2007, 01:54 PM
    Marzapan741
    Haha okay the fact your "expert" in science is one reason for me not to argue with you.
    Okay though out history when Noodles weren't even invented in BCE, of course Im going to believe God is a human and not food. Lol. Like that's one of the dumbest things I heard.
    There's no such thing as talking food. Can you just not. I know your obviously not being serious so don't waste my time along with everyone else's with noodle nonsense

    Why I am even wasting my time right now is beyond me.

    Plus, how am I being basied? Im not giving anybody a one sided answer. Most importantly I'm not saying God is more superior then something else. If you want Baised go read some hitler speeches.

    There's no such thing as omnipotent humans too..?

    I'm being completely serious. Why should you constrain the form of a being you have never seen?

    By the way, the oldest noodles ever found date from 4000 years ago. Way before CE.

    I'm trying to make you THINK, that's all.

    Why should the fact that I'm "expert" in science mean you should not argue with me? (although I don't agree that we're arguing)
  • Sep 20, 2007, 02:02 PM
    Marzapan741
    Sorry what's omnipotent?
    Well of course its something I never seen, but what makes you think he is a Noodle. Out of all things in this world.

    Well here is why. I dotn follow animism.
    Haha.
    Well Science and Religion always battled.
    Everyone has there own side to the story.
    I'm 50/50

    Reasons I put the " " around expert is because Everyone here can say there an expert but unless they have someone to prove it then its valid for me haha

    You said it... God is omnipotent, omipresent, omniscient; He is an entity not human as we know humans to be...

    You my friend, in my opinion, are an "over analyzer" some things can and should be thought through other things are best left on faith or belief

    xAjikanx agrees: LOL sorry! I know. To me he is a spirit but I see hi mas a human also. Liek a Human who died and is now a spirit. Dotn ask I am very odd hahaha. But yes I know he isnt a human :P"

    Well,
    I do not believe He was a human previously either... :)

    I have been made "expert" on this site by the admins, it was ultimately their decision. I don't think that I am an expert on anything but I do know where to find information and I do have an amount of understanding and interest in most of science.

    Omnipotent means "all powerful".

    My point is not that God is a noodle, It's that God could be anything and it is not sensible to rule out that God is a noodle.

    Science and religion have not always battled. Fascination with what is up in the heavens has grown into a whole section of science, astronomy. There's nothing in science which argues against the existence of a God.

    Okay, exactly, I can sit here get all my answers off Google and to let people think I'm an expert in something, I'm not saying oyu don't know your stuff but Im saying. I don't base people on how they are judged by a site.

    Ty,
    Okay but when dealgn with Christianity God, I don't see where Noodle comes through.

    I believe in being a decent person, a better than decent friend, and helping those I love.

    What are these fads you allude to? I believe in facts as revealed through observation.
