If God exists in this world (in both past and present), He would only be a folk lore, an ideology of a supernatural being that can't be fully comprehended by man. Especially in today's world, God is a detached and distant figure that continues to smites man for unknown or unacceptable reasons known to society. The existence of God gives man the excuse to blame someone for the problems they can't solve.
On flipside, God is also the undisputed, constant figure of power and force that people believe to be. He is their source of belief system and reason and purpose why they exist. He is not only the philosophy or the ideology of a deity but the very essence of life and creator of the eternal and temporal.
What do you think? A penny for your thoughts.
It's interesting to note that you say that He is the source of the belief system and the reason and purpose why they exist.
ReplyDeleteI would probably concede that He is the source of the belief, but contend that He is the source of the system of belief. He could be the reason and purpose for belief, but hardly the reason for the belief system.
How could God initiate a system of belief when all He initiate was the belief of His existence to begin with? Is not the system man made as he tried to make reason of his limited understanding of this God?
This isn't necessarily my train of thought, but I'm trying to understand the reason behind your justification of the system.
A penny only? Bigger incentive please! :)
ReplyDeleteSpeak English you people! Confusing speak only makes the topic more complicated than it really is.
So going back to your title, is God a Who? or a What?

ReplyDeleteThe Scriptures give us the revelation of the eternal Godhead, who has revealed Himself as one God, existing in three Persons, even the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible in essence; co-eternal, co-existent, co-equal in nature, attributes, power and glory. There is but one eternal Godhead, who is one undivided and indivisible essence; and in this one essence there are three eternal distinctions, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
