Does God need anything?

If God is all mighty and all knowing, does God need anything?

gods need people to believe in them or else gods die

God is complete in himself but he needs us in order to be God. Without somebody to be god to he is just there.

God does have angels that he is God to. He doesn't necessarily need us in order to survive. For reasons we can't fully grasp however, he does want us and love us.

God doesn't need anything...

That's what I think too.

Are we really sure he love's us? He has in the past had a funny way of showing it....

And by definition if he is all powerful, then he shouldn't need anything if he exists...

This is the point I was trying to bring out. To need is to be incomplete. God is everything and more.

JIA, does God need?

Hmmm. I hope bringing back an old thread to ask a question of JIA is the beginning of some sort of trap you have planned. If so we need Admiral Akbar to jump out at some point.

He will not respond. I just wanted to bring back a couple old threads. I hope that was ok with you. If not I can request that they be closed.

No, I'm happy with it, classics never go out of style (I always was surprised this one didn't get more replies) though sad no trap is planned.

Trust me, I would trap him if he wasn't so scared of me.

That's what I'm talking about... though for some reason it looks as if the Admiral is naked beneath the cut of point. And that is scary.

Sorry. Next time i post squid pron, I'll be more discreet.

No, God doesn't need anything.

Actually, we'd prefer if you never really responded to anything.

Yup. He needs people to believe that he's allmighty and allknowing, otherwise he loses power and influence .

What would happen to this god if he/she did not get what he/she needed?

I bet God got bored one day talking to his perfect angels and decided to make Humanity, i.e, God's TV, he doesn't have many ideas left, so he's going to cancel it soon.

On a serious note, no he doesn't need us, according to Chrsitians, he doesn't follow the need Belief System to live thing

So you should be. If I turn down Cthulhu series lingerie the good Admiral is not going to convince me.

Worthy for Samual L. Jackson alone.

No, God would scoop us up and smash us on our heads.....fear

Not likely..."he" has no power over reality (if he even exists)

Insurance. Somebody give him insurance. You could never go wrong with insurance.

Yeah, especially if you're the insurance company.

It needs us to believe in it.

As its already been said, God needs you to believe in him so he can exist.

But a god that needs me is not a god.

Ditto.

Well...is it not a valid point?

Everytime you say "I don't believe in faeries," one dies.

Could be the same for gods, especialyl since gods and faeries are both mythical.

How do you know???

Honest to god I talked to people that swear they see fairies...

Maybe a person has to believe in it for it to become real in their life??....hmm

If its real...its real. End of story.

Some people see ghosts, some see aliens, some see all sorts of things.....

Yes, but they are not there. People need to learn that just because they think they saw something, or remember it, doens't mean it happened.

Like you don't exist either????

Techinally, Alliance is just an Avatar.

See.......hahaha

Debbiejo isn't...........lol

But you interact with this avatar.

Yes, so me doing so must make YOU REAL to me.......See my point.

Yes. But my point is. Its still not real.

But this is an unfair analogy because part of Alliance is real.

What's unfair about it? You think yourself real and I interact with you and find you to be real. Some may interact with something else and find it to be real also. The only difference is that YOU, Alliance, is able and in the same time and space as me to communicate this with print.

Yes, because I am real.

The interaction does not make it real. Its a real experience, but its not fact.

However, If you want to deny the physical existance of the man behind the curtain...go ahead.

The interaction does not make it real. Its a real experience Yes, though I am not talking about a such type god.......There IS something. And ok.......I do inter react with you......so then you are real to me, but not really as you have said because I just had an experience with you and that doesn't make you real....

YOU are just an experience and so with that may not be real.

Ok. I am just a manifestation of the internet...making me god.

In a fact, yes........If you understand what I really mean........to believe IN YOU makes you real......

Which is exactly the point which is being made.

I understand what you mean, but I dont agree. Just because you experience something does not mean that it is real.

Hey! lil bitchiness, please don't make my point look less valid.

Originally posted by Alliance
I understand what you mean, but I dont agree. Just because you experience something does not mean that it is real. Yet many people here have experience you, and yet others that haven't could say YOU ARE NOT REAL...

Yes. That is correct. So...my point is, just because you experience something...does not mean its real.

It is an individual experience though...............I have experience it..........yet it is not the god of the bible.........yet there is something.........It makes it real too me............not you, cause you don't acknowledge it.......just as your avatar is real to you and others, but still you can not prove you are not a computer program.......A fallacy.......

Broken thoughts confuse me.
