Okay,since this section deals with art of the mind l guess this goes. you might have heard this somewhere but all the same. DID God create our minds or is it vice versa?
ok lol sorry all I said was vice versa ppl created god and satin just so they can blame they're mistakes and bad expirences!!!! if you guys r wondering why I hate god and religion it's because it too hard to change a religion, no one can have opinions,and all the s.h.i.t that gets carried out in gods name!!! I think its better to have a good idea then a religion 'cause you can change an idea and have opinons.......sry if I ranted
I could have sworn that jealousy was one of the seven deadly sins. *shrugs* That is what they taught me in Catholic school during religion class.
YourSamness, have you not heard that quote that goes something like this: "God created man in His image. Being a gentleman, man created God in his." I believe that is what DWM was trying to say (if not, sorry!).

did you know im not christian anymore? i know very well what the bible said. im not stupid
quote: id like you to please point out one instance of where God is jealous.
it says so in the bible, moron. i didnt think i would need to spell it out for you.
quote: Jealousy is not a sin
in other words, coveting. to covet something is a sin, is it not?
quote: Also, tell me youve NEVER been jealous
we're not talking about my faults here, we're talking about your god's. and why would i be jealous of a pathetic race such as humanity?

quote: why would God be jealous of us?
he's not. he's jealous of the other gods. he wants all people to worship him, not them. dont argue with me about other gods. do you know the term Elohim?
quote: "You shall not make for yourself a carved image...For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the inquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations..."
Exodus 20:4-5 NKJV
there you go. i was just too lazy to look it up. [there are many more, i assure you. it seems to be a repeat theme]
"God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs, God creates man, man destroys God, man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth."

Darling, have you read the Ten Commandments?
"You shall not make for yourself a carved image...For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the inquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations..."
*sigh* i really dont like these religious posts because there really is no right or wrong answer, it depends on who is answering. but, here is my opinion.
GOD created man in his image meaning we have a spirit and we are called to be holy because God lives in us.
why would God be jealous of us? Because he does not want us to worship other gods and idols does not make him jealous. he wants us to ask him into our hearts so that we can join him in heaven because he cares about us. and there is NOTHING wrong with being jealous! you can be jealous of someone's success, someone's bf/gf, someone's lifestyle, there is nothing wrong with your natural emotions or feelings.
i believe god created our minds...its hard to understand though. cuz we all dont hav a greater mind like god, so we cant really see how it is he created us. yet we can also create him in our minds...its hard to explain, u can email me bout it if u wana thoe.
thats where youve definitely missed your sunday school. God created man in His own image hence most of the book of Genesis.
quote: god has flaws, even the christian god [he is a jealous god. is jealousy not a sin?]
id like you to please point out one instance of where God is jealous. Come to think of it, I cant honestly name one in all i try. Jealousy is not a sin. To do a wrongful deed because of feelings of jealousy, THATS a sin.
Also, tell me youve NEVER been jealous... exactly, you have and that refers back to your first debate... God made man in His own image and obviously his own beliefs and flaws if there were such a thing as Godly flaws.
Now, I get your point with the whole Lord of the rings Harry Potter thing..... but i wont believe it at all until you make it the most copied book in the world (replacing the Bible then) and get people from every area of the world and every culture to believe that everything it says is true, and to live by it. THEN... ill believe you.
quote: How would we be able to imagine a God without him
we just did. man created god in their own image. god has flaws, even the christian god [he is a jealous god. is jealousy not a sin?] the pagans created their gods, as an explanation to creation. christians did the same. its so we dont feel so alone.
quote: showing us he was there
paranormal. spirits on the other side. cmon, youre not that dumb, or that deep into denial.
quote: it's kinda stupid to think that WE were able to make him up, and write a WHOLE BIBLE of his story!
humans are fantastic creatures, and they have made many a story that was like that. pagans had creation myths just as creationism, and deities that were born in mortal bodies, died and were ressurected. jesus just got all the fame for his mere parlour tricks.
okay, here's my answer. god created our minds in likeness of his/hers, so we could create him/her in the likeness of our minds.
quote: know for a fact that there is some kind of paranormal force out there, but if there is a heaven and hell why do people claim of seeing ghosts, or being visited by a spirit, or feeling the presence of someone who has passed away?
The bible says, somewhere, that there are evil spirits. They aren't the ghosts of dead loved ones, like people think they are. But they are still basically ghosts. I believe in ghosts or evil spirits or whatever you want to call them, I have had a few unnatural occurences at my old house.
DAMN THAT'S A HARD QUSETION!!!!!!!! Ummmmm............. Well GOD created our minds so that we can think for yourselfs. **** THAT I QUSETION THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD!
Well....I don't know. I have a feeling God could have created our minds....but then again...I question my own beliefs. I know for a fact that there is some kind of paranormal force out there, but if there is a heaven and hell why do people claim of seeing ghosts, or being visited by a spirit, or feeling the presence of someone who has passed away? Those are my main questions
