2 Things God Desires...

You said in general God must be incomplete because he desires us. Well, does not Buddah teach that man can be complete and attain perfection within? Does this mean we no longer can desire to be loved or seek others becasue we reach something or because God is who He said He is? How does God desiring to be loved by His creation make Him something other than who He says He is?

It is only a contradiction in the bible. In the OT it describes God as something that cannot be understood. God does not need is the only logical conclusion that can be made in this case.

There is no other type of reasoning, even your faith was made by man. But remember, man is god.

Ok, lets reason together. My faith was not "made by man" it was
"given to man" by inspiration from God. Man is created therefore can't be the Alpha, Omega, beginning and end as God. Man is not improving in kindness and gentleness and the attributes as one TRIES to attain but is falling, detestible and in great need of being "born again" of the Spirit of God to a new creation.

There, more reasoning and less scripture.

Just this one time... 😆

Thank you.

Your logic is circular, but I understand. You believe what you believe because that is what you believe.

Have a nice. I have to go. 😄

Honestly, my heart aches for you debbiejo and for all others that don't desire to know the truth (God) and to have a relationship with him. I am saying this sincerely! It is hard to put your faith into something that you do not visibly see or that you cannot touch with your hands! But God does love you and whatever ache I feel for you, he feels 100 times more ache for you. He wants nothing more than to be with you. I am not a big debater, so i will it at that. 🙁

Great answer.

No. Just thousands and thousands and thousands of prophesies told by Oracles and priest to the Greek Pantheon about everything and anything. Did they for tell Jesus? Not to my knowledge, but we only have Christianities claims about the Christian prophesies. Meanwhile in Greek myth we can read about prophesies to do with wars and people and disasters that all actually happened... does that mean they are true? No. Though maybe they are. But far more likely people just interpreted something an Oracle said later (OMZG! The Oracle said the two sons shalt twain twixt Zeus' bosom... clearly they are talking about the Peloponnese war!) or just made them up all together later. To my knowledge there is no proof the same is not true for Christianity.

And we only have mans word God gave it to us. And I know plenty of people who are not born again who are not failing in achieving kindness and gentleness - they have already succeeded, and are in fact far better at presenting such fruits as many "born again" Christians are. That patronising "sure, man tries, but never succeeds without God" is a load of tosh. I can't believe so many people have so little respect for the potential of our species. Or by extension God. How could God make such hopeless failures eh? Everyone of us apparently leaving the shop faulty and unable to really succeed without a Godly upgrade. Bah!
