Re: Mind's Eye Re: Presence

It isn't easy listening, authority imposed where there is none. I am not interested in anyone telling me what to do or how to view myself, and certainly am not looking for psychoanalysis. But I am interested in listening to others views when presented as their own, even when filled with dread and anger. I don't take it personally and wish the best for everyone.

I am interested in the Logos...the beginning word...the word as God, or the meaning that passes between. You hit the nail on the head there, Allan.

In christianity is the statement in the beginning was the word and the word was with God. Sound familiar?

I read that or hear statements like that what i hear is people that have no clue and presenting double talk to appear to have an answer. Further more they want no answer so any other possibility is automatically rejected.

So if a possibility is presented it is rejected because for no other reason than it does not fit your perception.

Allan I rejected this answer because without the answer to the first question it makes no sense.

Allan, I don't know what you make of God's omnipotence, but for me he has the power to create without any raw material, unlike us poor people needing God made sperms and eggs to create a life.

RP how can you expect an answer when you automatically reject the answer you are given? Unless it fits the answer you want to hear..
Let me ask you a question.  You say the universe was created from the word of God.  What is contained within the Word of God that is able to create the matter needed to create our universe?

You have referred to my second question , but what about the first. 

I don't understand how you draw the conclusion that God is speaking to us for nowhere you have given the incident purporting that he so spoke.

Do you regard other people as God, RP?

Is it possible that you regard your late mentor as God and it was his voice you were talking about?

It is an interesting notion to ponder, how does God speak to us? My friend and mentor recently spoke about it to all of his visitors before passing away last summer. I told him that if the measure of whether or not a person can hear God speaking is all of the good they have done in the world, then he had done some life long listening. He taught us all how to collaborate and build consensus, create systems and institutions that work for people, organize communities and make them good places to raise our families. Quite a lifetime achievement.

God comes "down" all the time.  In fact, that would have to be an attribute of an omnipotent. We are the ones limited by time and space.  Giving God an image of our viewpoint is called an "Idol".

I don't think God has ever come down to talk to man, so as a necessity we have to give him an image according to our viewpoint.
