It is Not Jesus any more, and God Already did that, remember, our Future is His Past.Balder said:Pheelme,
Neo opened up a can of holy whoopass on people when he "came," mowing them down left and right. Is Jesus going to do that too?
Much killing!
I am just a Spirit from YuPiter I do speak language of God on another language aswell :cheers:godrulz said:Where are you from? Do you speak another language? Is your view stark fatalism?

Can you define "view" ?
Okasy since you say God's self existence is not self-evident, pray tell me who created God then?godrulz said:=> God is self-existent and some of His attributes are indescribable or too sacred to utter.
These philosophical concepts are not as self-evident as His love, eternal spirit nature, etc.

What other language do you speak? Do you live in North America?

godrulz said:God is uncreated Creator. His self-existence is self-evident, though an atheist needs revelation as a starting point.
Where do I get this revelation from?godrulz said:God is uncreated Creator. His self-existence is self-evident, though an atheist needs revelation as a starting point.

What if mine differs from everybody else's revelation?
By what objective standard do I judge and hence validify my revelation?
Is any thought in my head that I have strong feelings about a directive from Yaweh, the sacrafice loving un created creator of the universe who likes the smell of burning goat flesh and wants me to kill the sinners?
Isn't it self evident that the wackier my concepts are the more likely they are to be in align with Yawehs instruction?
The gate is narrow.

Hasan_ibn_Sabah said:Thats not what you said at first, you said that God's aseity is not self-evident, so which is it self-evident or not?
Which is, perhaps, why we are atheists. :chuckle:godrulz said:It is self-evident to me, but the existence of God does not seem to be self-evident for our atheist friends.

Creators are cool.godrulz said:Ps. 19; Rom. 1 Creation makes it plain that there is a Creator. This is general revelation available to all.
I don't think Jesus of Nazareth existed.godrulz said:Heb. 1 Jesus Christ is the full revelation of what God is like. He is God with a face. His person and work is special revelation found in His Word, the Bible.
Sounds like you got alot of lenses there. Seems like that might make it hard focus.godrulz said:Just as you can understand Shakespeare, a magazine, or a newspaper, so God's written revelation can be understood using the same interpretation principles. We use the literal, grammatical, contextual, cultural, historical, method of interpretation (hermeneutics is the art and science of Bible interpretation).
What's he saying?godrulz said:"He is there, and He is not silent." - Francis Schaeffer
How do you know what God they knew?godrulz said:Hundreds of millions have come to know God. From the simple, mentally challenged child to the greatest thinkers of society, they have understood the evidence and revelation of God.
God building is something Man seems quite good at.godrulz said:The message of the Bible is that He is God and you are not. god-playing is for the birds.

More correctly, "most people" do not questino the histriocity of Jesus of Nazareth. They do question whether he is the Jewish Messiah...godrulz said:The most hard-hearted secular people do not question the historicity of Jesus Christ.
How do you know this? Are you omniscient? Do you know every possible evidence for such an entity's existence? Have you disproved every possible evidence for such an entity's existence? Have you been to every place in the universe that such an entity might inhabit?I know the tooth fairy does not exist.
You forgot one... a gradual accretion and fabrication by the Church to the person of a first century Jewish rabbi over the centuries to bolster its political, economic, and social control over its adherents.The question is not if He existed, but who is He? Liar, lunatic, legend, or Lord?
