What makes you think that God became anything, nevermind becoming self-aware?Yes, for an omnipotent God both these time-frame-references are possible.
It must have been an interesting “moment” when God first became Self-aware, huh?
Yes, because, at c, time (effectively) doesn’t “exist”. Observation requires “time”.I expect you mean, that we have no way to anchor anything to the term, "still".
Funny how words don't always mean the same thing. Observing is difficult at the speed of light.
That we know of. Yes.And nothing anyone observes has failed to have already happened.
I was speaking rhetorically seeings as I don’t cotton to there actually being a god.What makes you think that God became anything, nevermind becoming self-aware?
Okay lemme put it this way, if god were to suddenly stop “existing” would we “notice”?'Existence', as we understand it, hardly describes him. 'Existence', in fact gets its meaning from him. He is not subject to the principle we know of as existence. That is just our word.
He is not subject to our notions of reality. He "invented" reality. The Omni is HIS arrangement of things. These are HIS facts —or he is not God.
No one will ever come from the future because time travel is impossible.If no one comes from the future to stop you doing it how bad of a decision can it really be?
God revealed to us, his moral Code.
How so?I would argue that He did a very poor job of it. Just comparing the OT to the NT should make that abundantly clear.
Kind of a nutty question really. But for fun how about this? The one from the future saw indeed your decision was bad.....effected a lot of people in a bad way.......BUT......there's always a percentage that the spin off of that bad decision for them personally was advantageous. So then you have ulterior motives from the future one that are not quite noble. Guess it all depends on who controls the time machine eh?If no one comes from the future to stop you doing it how bad of a decision can it really be?
The 10 commandments were given in the OT, thousands of years ago. Yet Jesus affirmed them and didn't say they were out of date or no longer necessary.
Not at all.So are you implying that the 10 commandments are the extent of God's moral code?
Of the 10 commandments, the final 6 are about loving your neighbour. People who stole from their neighbours, or committed adultery with other men's wives had to atone and pay compensation. They lived in a community; those who sinned against the community were punished, and if the community sinned, sacrifices had to be offered.If not, then me thinks that the examples set in the OT stand in pretty stark contrast to the "love thy neighbor" commandment proclaimed in the NT.
We are.Why are we not “allowed” to be ignorant of “what caused all this”?
Rhetorically is a problem here. Your conjecture supposes something false. Anthropomorphism.I was speaking rhetorically seeings as I don’t cotton to there actually being a god.
It is a bogus question. The notion that God can stop "existing" assumes that 'existence' itself depends on something else, and not on God. If he is first cause, for him to cease to exist would necessarily imply that we would never even have existed.Okay lemme put it this way, if god were to suddenly stop “existing” would we “notice”?
Jesus affirmed the 10 commandments, but he also told us to treat others as we would want to be treated, to love our neighbours as ourselves and to forgive our enemies.
The OT and NT do talk about homosexuality in a negative way.So what about things like... say homosexuality. I don't see it mentioned in the 10 commandments, and I don't see how it falls under the edict of "love thy neighbor", so how did that come to be immoral?
Just came across this thread. That is so funny.A barely related, very relatable, link, and funny:
