  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

man is god, because god is the man?

God can only make God out of himself: but rather than calling us God immediately, he called us man as our nickname, his nick for us...to see if we can figure it out:

Man is just another name for God and God is a just another name for Man.

This applies to everything else:
God is the Lion, the Bull, the eagle, the dove, the rock, the star, the Rock-Star!, the water, the meat, the salt...all foods...so we literally eat and drink God every day...the snake, the light, the sun, you...which is why if i hate you or any word or person or place or thing, i hate God. 1 John 4:20

see genesis 1:26 and Ps 82:6 and John 10:35 to see where God calls us Gods.

In short, God is the Father of Words.John 1:1
So then every word is his son or dtr,
and every son is his word.
So we are all Words and all sons + dtrs of God.
see John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which is Love.

2 Corinthians 6:
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.

in Love of God as man and man as God,

God can only make God out of himself

But God can create other than God from the materials around Him.
Just as man can create an automobile..
The automobile is not a nickname for man, but rather a creation of man.
Man is not an automobile.
An automobile is not man.
they are different.
The creation is not the Creator.

Surely, if man is made in the image of God, we can extrapolate a meaning from this

If a man makes, a smaller, dumber, weaker, confined, being

To a certain relative extent that being could be considered "man"

It would be foolish to think we are God, we are finite, human,

but

There is something to man being made in Gods image, that we should give a second thought to

See, an automobile is not made in mans image, so does not make a worthy comparison

jahn 4:20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.





Genesis 1:26-27 (King James Version)




26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.



Psalm 82:6 (King James Version)




6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

John 1

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.



John 1:12 (King James Version)




12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

2 corinthians
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

If you limit God a little more, He would fit neatly in your pocket, but that isn't how it works. When you start to program DNA into life and at least build us a single celled organism with life, then we may be able to call you a novice creator of life......;)
Nope we are the creatures of God, made in His image - not visa versa...
He is Creator and we the object of His great love as His creatures...

Re 4:11 "You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created."

Eph 2:10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

There is only one God. Yet, he made his Son God for a time, until all things have been completed. God has a plan of salvation, and that is why he begat his Son in the beginning, even before the creation of the heavens and the earth.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]John 1 KJV[/FONT]​
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.[/FONT]


God begat his Son the Word, in the beginning. He spoke his Son into existance. The Son is of the Father, but the Father gave life seperate, unto the Son.

John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;


And the Father made the Son God over all the creation until the this plan of salvation was complete. For Jesus is the beginning and end of our salvation. Jesus is the beginning and end of God's plan from Genesis to Revelations.

And when all things have been subdued by the Son, he will give over the authority of the Godhead unto the Father, for there is only one God.

Cor. 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

When you can create something out of nothing, then you can be called the Creator. For there was nothing and out of nothing, he spoke all things into existance. And man cannot create something out of nothing. He has to have something, to create something. That will always be so. Only God, the Creator can create something out of nothing.

limiting god = not looking at the bible your way?

the bible view of god is quite limied. he has a personality, he desires things.

the universe, the idea of reality, not to mention the things we perceive and manage to think about such as dna... forget dna

think about reality. just the fact that we think and perceive.

that is so mind blowing

how can the creator be so [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]le, and well, like a greek myth?

Go ahead and call the pot a "potter", but when the pot totally ignores you...You will then have the answer to this imaginative supposition.
sorry if i am limiting god.

i dont like the idea of a god that reminds me of guys torturing prosoners "you have already been tortured, you could have told us at any time where the rebel base was, now we got it from our spies, now you will be tortured until you die painfully (in gods case "die painfully forever")



"wait till you see when you die and god ignores you"


yay!


god must have figured out dna by pure blind luck

You must understand that God the Father cannot have any association with sin. It is for that reason he begat his Son. To take away the reproach from the world.
why did he make this game for us called earth and life?


does god blow up if he gets near sin? does it give him the willies?

why did he create all this knowing sin would rear its ugly head?


is the catastrophic choice he presents millions with each day when they are born into this confusing world supposed to be good?
