"God would be that mind which is beyond our reality and beyond our mind and is as such considered the ultimate mind responsible for all things" DeepestSight This quote literally blew my mind and my mind is rarely blown. But seeing how God is the Ultimate Mind responsible for all minds, I must admit that when I analyzed this definition in my mind, it made perfect sense......or maybe God only in exists in my mind. Maybe I'm just losing my mind, anyway never mind...... 1 Like 1 Share |

Is God a god? |
Re: What Is A God? by jayriginal: 2:22pm On Oct 21, 2014 |
PastorAIO: Apparently. |

deepsight: "God would be that mind which is beyond our reality and beyond our mind and is as such considered the ultimate mind responsible for all things" There is an epistemological problem in asserting the existence of a mind beyond our reality, comprehension, perception which compromises any knowledge of such a mind. 2 Likes 1 Share |

plaetton: To make it a product of any sort from our imaginations is to give too much credit to his postulation. Such a 'God' is UNimaginable even. He is merely assigning a term to the unknown and unknowable. However we don't even know how much unimaginable and unknowable stuff is out there. Is it all God? Or is God only a part of what is unimaginable and unknowable? What else can be found beyond our reality and beyond our minds? A big epistemological problem indeed, Kay17. |
Re: What Is A God? by Kay17: 12:54am On Oct 24, 2014 |
PastorAIO: Yes, and a necessary attachment to God is a strong faith, which ought to compensate for the epistemological trauma. It is almost impossible to talk about God without involving our very psychological constitution. Most of the believers, Deepsight inclusive; are adamant convicts in the existence of certainty. They can not live a life with uncertainties, a life without a destiny. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kay17: The psychological question: What is it about uncertainty that makes it so unpalatable? Why do human beings need to fabricate so much fantasies in order to eradicate the feeling of ignorance? What is the difference between the mind of the guy that can just say "I don't know and I'm comfortable with that" and the guy that say "I've got it, I know all the answers and I'll coerce everybody into agreeing with me or I'll never find rest"? 1 Like 1 Share |

God means power. nothing more nothing less. it is a title not a name. ye are gods but ye will die like the children of men, meaning you have power but you will lose your power if you sin. 1 Like |

PastorAIO: The importance of life itself is undermined, everything seems to be at risk. That's what I understand. |

A God is a quality, not quantity as religious people have misinterpreted it. God,Love,Peace,Happiness,Hatred,Anger,Anxiety are qualities we attribute to subjects. A subject is describable.Qualities are felt,be it negative or positive. Examples of subjects are things we can see. Lets say there is no Religion,God will be a form of expression. A state of alignment and bliss. Not a being,certainly not a subject of worship. God therefore is a state of mind/consciousness a subject can attain. God of the Christians is a person who have stolen the supposed name called God,whereas lacking its qualities,such as Love,unlimited forgiveness,non judgmental ,freedom etc. Someone who really is at the state of God will be like a child. No need of worship,offering,scarifies and punishment. Humans can become GODS when we start acting like children. 2 Likes |

Possibly… anyone who has any dominion over any part of the universe no matter how small is a god. 1 Like 2 Shares |

PastorAIO: Thus was the matter concluded. |

PastorAIO: Is the operative word "dominion" synonymous with "influence"? |
Re: What Is A God? by matrix600(m): 8:55pm On May 20, 2017 |
What a beautiful thread, I would like this thread to be reignited |
Re: What Is A God? by Kay17: 10:02pm On May 20, 2017 |
PastorAIO: The feeling of uncertainty is the same with anxiety |
Re: What Is A God? by PastorAIO: 10:53pm On May 20, 2017 |
Akiintom: That depends on whether you want it to or not. Perhaps we could say that an influence makes a minor effect while a Dominus determines the whole shebang. |
Re: What Is A God? by orisa37: 9:36am On May 21, 2017 |
PastorAIO: General Overseer Divine, Omnipotent and Omniscient, The Supreme Spirit and The Grandeur Husband of Mother Nature. Such is God. |

orisa37: Fail |
Re: What Is A God? by Akiintom: 9:55am On May 21, 2017 |
PastorAIO: It's humanistic, to perceive my "godship" as influence, than dominion. Dominion connotes an illusionary sense, of relative position that's is Supreme. |
Re: What Is A God? by PastorAIO: 10:40am On May 21, 2017 |

orisa37: Can these attributes be said of Zeus or Amadioha? |

I don't understand those words but all I said is true of Olodumare and Oduduwa. |

A fantasy figure created by men. Simple answer. |
Re: What Is A God? by ScepticalPyrrho: 1:05pm On May 22, 2017 |
PastorAIO:It's absolute self-deception for anyone to claim to have seen "divine attributes". |

Hati13: I can create a fantasy figure like superman but I can chose not to deify it . |
Re: What Is A God? by KingEbukasBlog(m): 3:58pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
PastorAIO: Well I think anything deified is a god . The entity with the big "G" is the necessary non contingent being behind the existence of the universe . A clearer understanding of atheism shows that the existence of the being is not rejected , its deification is . |
Re: What Is A God? by Agimor(m): 4:05pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
God is a spirit who exists of his own self. |
