What is the truth about God?

[Mymom]

“GOD is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth,” (John 4:19-24)

Oh, goody, we haven't had quite enough evangelism in 2011........let's start 2012 as we mean to go on!! :o(

[naomi24]

Jack, I suspect another from that little 'ol US stable that Elderman inhabits. More to follow, no doubt!

[Mymom]

No, I am just asking a question!

[LazyGun]

Really? OK, well the truth about god is that there is no compelling reason to believe in god - those that do believe, believe out of faith - and faith, as we all know, is belief in the absence of evidence. Absurdly, those of faith seem unreasonably proud about that, as if irrationality is something to be sought after!

[naomi24]

If you want to know the truth, why don't you look for it instead of quoting an unknown writer as though his words carry some sort of veracity?

[daisya]

The question you should have asked maybe is "Is there any truth about god" or in fact, ~"Is there a god".....you seem to have established there IS a god without proving it.

[DTCwordfan]

Prove factually that there is a God and then I will willingly answer.

[daisya]

Me too DT

[paddywak]

Can't we forget about this for a while. You'll never convince the god squad that there is no "Supreme Being" just as you'll never prove to my lot that there is. I don't feel the need to be "saved" and I don't go round trying to change peoples beliefs, but I'm getting fed up with the endless for and against, do you or don't you believe posts.

[naomi24]

Exactly Daisy. If you genuinely want to know the truth, you have to search for it. You can't begin with the presumption that you already know it.

[Mymom]

LG: I take it you have faith in nothing then.
Naomi: I have not quote an unknown writer.
Daisya: In everyday life, we encounter information encoded in many forms—such as Braille or letters of the alphabet, as well as diagrams, musical notes, spoken words, hand signs, radio signals, and computer programs involving the binary code, using zeros and ones. The information-conveying medium can be virtually anything, from light to radio waves to paper and ink. Whatever the case, people always associate meaningful information with an intelligent mind. So why is it something so complex as the universe and life itself, come from nothing?
If everything we use in our day to day life has been designed and made, what prevents man from accepting that there is a grand designer who made the universe etc.?

DT: That is what I am hoping to do. Can you have an open mind?

[daisya]

Mymon...those things you quoted came from man but you are asking about god...we can prove man exists, can you prove god exists?

[cupid04]

He lives and reins and LOVES us all!

[cupid04]

I obviously meant reigns.

[sandyRoe]

"Reins" wasn't altogether wrong. If he keeps us safe from sin, he's reined in our worst appetites.

[Mymom]

I will bye bye for now. Will be back some time tomorrow to see what is what. Have an enjoyable evening all.

[daisya]

[daisya]

Anyone got the vid for "another one bites the dust?"
