[QUOTE="oi_antz, post: 55272828, member: 261524"] This thread addresses what "God" is: [url]http://www.christianforums.com/t7478810/#post55219467[/url] However, for Christians it is more a matter of "who" God is, He is the Heavenly father of life who created everything in perfection and has suffered disappointment from His creatures having turned against Him. There's a lot to learn from Christianity, much more than can be simply written, however I have summarized it in another post and I feel it's quite concise: God exists. Always did, always will. He made some creatures which He could share His life with, these are called angels and they are spiritual not physical. He created a physical model of life called "the universe" and made little God-like robots who wander around living their life making their own decisions as though they are God on earth. Some of the angels God created decided to turn against their creator because they wanted to rule and dominate the universe, and the most famous angel convinced the human to turn against God by wanting to become God. Ever since that moment in The Garden of Eden, the world is contaminated with sin. This is why there is so much anti-good in the world, because humans have taken side with the enemy of God. But God wanted to live forever with the human instead of sending it out of His sight, so this is why The Holy Bible has been manifested into the world, that Christians can learn these sorts of answers from God instead of spending their lives cursing God for anything they happen not to like. It's all about like and dislike, it is human greed which is exploited to cause sin, and this is why some humans will impact another human unfairly for their own gain, which we call [U]selfishness[/U]. The essence of Christianity is [U]selflessness[/U]. We are all born into this world as corrupted humans, sinful by nature (some more than others of course!), and therefore no matter how "good" we think we are, we are not capable of being holy enough for God's presence. It is only by accepting Jesus as our adjudicator that we can be confident our sins are forgiven, and we can only accept Jesus when we are ready to lay down our life of sin and begin a life of repentance - turning away from sin and toward holiness. It's a life-long decision, but that is the ticket for the human to be transformed into a holy creature. Once our spirit ascends from the sinful earth, we are relieved of our temptations. This also happens when Jesus returns to the world and Satan is ridden. [/QUOTE]
