Define God

last SG · 2011-03-21T17:24:34+00:00

its ancient thinking, that when one couldnt understand natural phenemenon, always attributed it to a god. this type of thinking I can understand, because sci...

to me, i define God as a belief. it’s like different culture = different beliefs. different people believes in different things. just like how different people have got different thinking.

God to me is someone more than a human that you believe exist and helps you with all your troubles and watch out for you.

i myself am a freethinker. but i believe that God do exist. i sometimes pray to Jesus.

better to be insensitive than let them continue to be deluded in their wishful thinking...............

their wishful thinking of a heaven is the ROOT CAUSE of their delusion..............

they hope so much for a wonderful after-life that they cling on to.................HORSECRAP

If ppl find logic in christianity let them be. I don't see anything wrong with that unless It's a religious cult group.

If u are a buddhist should spend time practising ur religion and not waste time here.

U should bring ppl to dharma centre.

I still pray to Jesus sometimes.

But I gt serious doubts in Trinity.

God revealed himself in 3 modes( father,son,holy spirit) rather than Trinity. It's simpler to think/understand that way.

Because I still consider myself a sinner. I do confess to Jesus my sins sometimes.

sorry, i dun really know about christianity into depth. mind explaining trinity? and jesus forgives us all. his love is unconditional. he loves us even if we turn our back on him. don't worry. he'll forgive you (:

oops. i forgotten to capitalise the ‘Hs’ and ‘J’

Singapore AFOL SG

Is It biblical to think God exists in 3 modes ( father,son abd holy spirit)?

For me I think God revealed himself in 3 forms, being father,son and holy spirit.

This is how I understand the bible.

okay.. i don't really know what's that. but Jesus is the son of the real God right?

Isn't the human part of Jesus the son of God ?

The divine part of Jesus is divine.

Jesus have two nature fully human in human nature and fully divine in his divine nature.

ok...shld be more fitting to discuss abt the trinity in this thread since the thread says define God...Singapore AFOL, did u read my last post abt the trinity in the other thread???

Singapore AFOL SG

Solid liquid gas model to explain trinity.

despondent SG

ok...actually tat model is flawed when used to explain trinity...my explanation for trinity would require several natural egs, each explaining/accounting for one espect of the trinity...to me, its reasonable tat several natural egs are needed to explain sth supernatural but b4 i start anything, may i noe if u are truly interested to find out more?

Singapore AFOL SG

How do u explain?

U should post more abt trinity here.

Singapore AFOL SG

I have some problems understanding the concept of Trinity.

But I believe Jesus is both divine and human. He has two natures.

despondent SG

lets see...hmmm...ok, the concept of trinity according to the bible is that God is 3-in-1, meaning that he is One but with 3 different identities(Father, Son, Holy Spirit), with 3 different roles and 3 different forms. the 3-in-1 Godhead are everywhere all the time...this is the definition of the trinity in biblical sense...i am not quoting, juz using my own words...

eg 1: tis explains how One can have 3 identities...a man is one body but has 3 identities in the hse...he is father to his child, a son to his father and a husband to his wife...

eg 2: this explains 3 different roles...offshoot from 1st eg...filial to his father, guidance to his child, pillar of strength/soulmate of his wife...

eg 3: this explains 3 different forms...u got this one rite...water has 3 different forms, solid, liquid, gas...theres also the analogy of 3-in-1 coffee...coffee powder, cream and sugar...

eg 4: this explains everywhere all the time...we learn in chemistry abt compounds...let use CO2...there are 2 elements of oxide and 1 element of carbon...for carbon dioxide to exist, all 3 elements must be everywhere at the same time...

i dunno if i missed anything else abt trinity, if i have, feel free to ask and i will try my best to reply...God bless!!!

So my thinking on God reavealing himself in 3 forms or modes is correct?

Singapore AFOL SG

My church used body spirit mind and water liquid gas to explain.

despondent SG

yes in a way but be careful cos revealing himself in 3 forms/modes does not mean they are 3 different gods...that will be polytheism...abt the part where jesus is fully man and fully God, i think u understood it alredi but juz to reinforce, its like a man is fully husband to his wife and fully a father to his child...u get tis?

Singapore AFOL SG

So begotten son of God is Jesus's human part.

The divine nature of the Son is equal to God the father.

My pastor said when the disciples see Jesus they only see the human part as the divine part is invisible as God is a spirit.

despondent SG

can also lah...but if u look at all the attributes of the trinity, wad was covered by ur church is not exhaustive enuff but pls dont blame them cos to be comprehensive, u need a lot of egs and seriously, unless one is truly interested to find out, how many will find out so comprehensively? for myself, i gathered the info from all over the place and categorised them myself...

despondent SG

yes u can put it tat way...to go further, 100% human cos he had a physical body like us, had the freewill to sin...100% God cos he was born perfect, conceived by the Holy Spirit and not by the sperm of a man...
