But He is Existence, engage me
I thought existence was existence.

Are we talking about the "God" that allegedly walked and talked in a garden that has no evidence of having existed, poofed people and animals into existence, and later, in a manner contrary to the modern understanding of genetics, populated the planet with a tiny group of individuals and animals that survived a global flood in an unbuildable boat, a flood that killed the dinosaurs in a manner that only *appears* to be 65 million years ago, because the Earth is really only somehow 6000 years old, yet remains, by every objective measure to date indistinguishable from nothing?

Yes and no, we are talking about theGod who walked and talked in the garden of Eden and no, if you talking anout evidence that is sucked out of the inadmissible techniques of carbon dating then we are not on the same page

Thats in correct, if God 'is' that means He is all general and at a perspective He is what you are looking at.

The word 'is' is the third person singular present of 'to be'. The word 'exist' or 'existence' refers to that which 'stands out of' or 'emerges from'.

God IS, His creation 'stands out of'. God said to Moses, "I AM" which is pure being, not existence.

I think that is quite similar to the idea of a great thinker by the name of Paul Tillich. Personally, I think the truth is somewhere in that direction.

But ... engage me

God is not "here".
God is not "real" or material.
God does not answer prayer.
God allows for death.
God allows for disease.
God allows for suffering.
God is invisible.
God cannot be examined.
God has not "returned" as has been written.

Those are a few points that exist.

I Am, Existence, the Bread, the Life, hence I say from a perspective

All which exists is, and all which is exists but all that is I Am is existence, becsuse everything lives in Him, I Am

God is neither here nor there because his invisible to our senses, once reveled He is everywhere, thats in our perspective, otherwise He is omnipresent eternally
God is Spirit therefore not material but through His son the immaterial became materil
God has come in the form of His sons
With out the examination of God there is no Christianity, He was examined by Plato and found to be without sin
God is invisible because we can't physically possibly persive Him, but He has made Himself visible through His son

I mean God is the source of all and all comes from Him and is in Him
So he does all the bad things as well?
But He is Existence, engage me
I know he's the existence in some people's lives. The problem is there are 100s, if not 1,000s of version of him. Because no one has enough proof of his existence. Which allows people to come up with a new theory.

This goes from the dawn of man to people like David Koresh.

Theres a place in God in which He chose not to exist and thats a place calle evil, He chose not to be to give man a choice between perfection and imperfection we still have a choice
True there are many gods but only one cliams to be the True, not speaking truths, the Way and the Life
