If they are the same and distinct , how can you distinguish The Father From The Son ?

Plane of existence.

The Father dwells in unapproachable light. The Son is the physical representation of the Father. The Spirit is the breathe of the Father in the Son.

4evagod made a wonderful point . Agnosticism also questions atheism since atheism is a belief system too . But you don't this . You always attack theism and never atheism . That's why I don't see you as an agnostic - you purport yourself as one when atheists are being ridiculed , a way of saving your head .

undecided

leave that jonbellion!

if you ask me his true identity, I would say: he is an atheist who would rather hide under agnosticism than get his ass burnt when hit with solid points.

I say I'm agnostic because I don't know if the big bang was caused by a diety or not
But I'm atheistic towards religous Gods
How is this hard to understand

why not come out and say you are an atheist? why not?! why must you be a coward??! why?!!!

Oh you noticed it too? He never stands apart to either observe or even offer his own agnostic view. If it gets too hot for the atheists he would claim agnostic and if it gets "bad" for the theists (which has never happened) he jumps into the boat of atheism.

The guy is a Yo Yo.

it is not something new to me.

Agnostic atheism makes no sense . You are simply an atheist .

But wait ...Religion is just giving its perspective of God . Deism reject these perspectives in Religion .

What if the earth is eternal ? Do you know that it still does not preclude the existence of God .

So where exactly do you stand ?

No where.

just hiding!

@ DeepSight

Aha !

Mark 3:28-29
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Why did Christ say that whoever blasphemes against the Holy Ghost will never be forgiven ? Doesn't this show that the Holy Spirit is a different person ? But blasphemy against God the Father and Son can be forgiven - this shows these three are different but are One .


No this refers to one who works directly against the will and power of God...

So you saying the will and power of God is personified as the Holy Ghost ?

What is Christ to God then ? Why do you think Christ called Himself the Son of God ? Was Christ lying

That is what the bible it as. The Holy Ghost is not a distinct person anymore than your words or aura are distinct persons from you. They are not. These are forces that emanate from you. Such is the Holy Ghost in relation to God. It simply refers to the power emanated from God.

That is what the bible describes it as.
He is a Son of God just like he said of you and I as well. We are all gods and Sons of God.

No sir . Christ was smart enough to circumvent the Pharisees' accusations of blasphemy . 'Ye are gods' as used in Psalm 82:6 denotes authority of judges , kings etc . These people are seen as gods among men because they are influential and powerful since they are men who are in authority . So Christ is just saying that if those who are in authority were referred to as "gods" , why can't he who was sent by God to men be referred as God's Son too .

I remember that I explained Psalm 82 to someone who thought that Yahweh was one of the lesser gods of the Jews and the Most High is the Supreme God . And the assembly in that chapter was the meeting of gods or deities .

Well you are yet to show me where Christ claimed to be God and i have shown you twenty verses that explicitly deny same.

Is it that you speak truth whilst scripture speaks lies?

Sir , didn't you see that the Pharisees accused him of blasphemy - for claiming to be God . Before he smartly used Psalm 82 :6 against them .
And Christ also showed that he came before Abraham in

John 8:58
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” wink

Why do you controvert this ?


DeepSight:
and i have shown you twenty verses that explicitly deny same.

I went through those verses sir and its more of the trinity showing oneness . There is One God - Oneness . There is none beside thee - Oneness.

And I have showed you where God showed plurality especially the famous verse on creation . Gen 1 : 26 "Let US ... " and then in Gen 3 :22 plurality was used " one of US .." and another one during the Towel of Babel debacle where God says "Let US ... "(Gen 11 :7 ) . So explain sir , why was US used ?

DeepSight:

I speak truth as shown by the scriptures wink

Answer the question first


uhmmm...you were asking for principles in the Bible that is vital to making new discoveries in science?


I found one

Exodus 20:9 = Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

So, please because you encounter lackadaisical Christians doesn't mean the Bible is a storybook, there are actually people who follow the principles in the Bible and are making ground breaking discoveries.[/color]


Let me guess your next question...

...

...


...

'cite/give examples of people in the category i cited?'

my answer: Proverbs 6:6-8
There are many examples cited in the religious section and most likely you have come by them, so I will need you to go back to them with a different set of 'premium thinking glasses' with better resolution and most importantly with a new heart and mind

Remember Xenophanes existed many years before Christ , so the question is :

Why do you think Xenophanes criticized anthropomorphism ? Do you think he would have maintained his criticism of anthropomorphism if he understood the concept of a Triune God ?

Proof : Run a search in an English dictionary , nix - you won't find it

I expected you to pen down details of your journey through out every possible dimension which led to your discovery that God does not exist .
