You don't look big by calling people stupid. Just a heads up.
God is not physical you idiotic moron.
That's like saying gas HAS to be solid to make anything solid. Don't be stupid.
Ever wonder why there are errors in the "English" bible or anyother bible for that matter? How about the Hebrew bible? Don't hear any complaints about that do you? Ever wonder why?
Why should wisdom you ask? The bible says God came from wisdom. Wisdom is God and God is wisdom.
That's the problem with Humans; They think everything HAS to be physical.
I never expected to look big by calling people stupid... then again, you called me stupid (as much as I did to you) so I guess we're even, huh?
Okay, three things here really.
1/ Gas is entirely physical, even if it's not solid. I don't really know what you're saying, there must be something that I missed.
2/ I don't really care about which interpretations and translations of the Bible have errors or not, my point was only demonstrating how I get irritated when people use it to defend what they're saying. I believe that there is probably a better response than saying 'Yeah but the Bible has some errors and/or you can't take it literally' etc.
3/ You assume that I believe everything to be physical? Entirely not, quite the reverse. I believe in the existence of many things that aren't physical (the sentient mind as an example), but if God isn't physical, then what is he, by definition? Now I'm curious and somewhat confused - for God to have done the things that the Bible says he has done, how could he not exist physically?
Actually, I'm going to take a step back. He doesn't have to exist physically, technically, as long as there is a form or object that can manifest his will physically. Then, technically, his actions can be carried out. The same way that it's not me typing these words; it is my fingers. However, the reason they do this is my will. I hope you're following me at the moment, as I'm only supporting what you are saying at the moment.
The problem is then, that God needs physical tools to carry out his will. (Examples. Speaking, Creating, Destroying)
So, I can accept that God doesn't have to be physical, so long as you can provide an object that he uses to do these things. It is literally impossible for him to have literally spoken to a human if he doesn't have any way of doing it. That would be like a brain jumping out and performing all of the actions itself, without the body - it just can't do it. I can turn this easily into a metaphor, ha. See, now I'm enjoying this...
So, in this metaphor, things are as follows.
The consciousness, the mind, is God.
The body (brain, organs, appendages) are... what?
This is why God has to either be physical, or have some form of physical tools. Or else he can't have a physical impact. Of course, this is just my opinion.
The problem with all of this is that God being God, the all powerful being, can actually disregard every law of science and even common sense in order to exist, because, as soon as you accept that he exists, his existence can no longer be denied with these things.
In conclusion, I've come to realise that there is absolutely no reason for me to argue on this front. Because anyone who believes in an omnipotent God also can rectify anything because of God being all powerful. So I may chip in with thoughts and theories for fun, but I won't actually trying to use them, because I know there is no point and I never enjoy that part too much anyway.
