johnydon22: The orthodox definition of a God is an entity that controls the totality or part of reality(god) . But through out history man has conferred godhood or deified entities that do not control the totality or part of reality . So deifying an entity is now personal , each having his own reason as to why an entity is deified . 3 Likes 3 Shares |

KingEbukasBlog: You've just hit on something here for the first time since we have been discussing this Godhood thing. Basically God is a personification of Authority? You are a God to the extent that you can exercise control over something. So the Judges in ancient Israel were recognised as Gods. 6I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; 7nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” Psalm 82 It follows that even in your own bedroom you are, to some extent or the other, a god. 1 Like |

nuclearboy:This is golden. So before I even realised my godhood, some guys have realised it far far ahead of me in this Naija However, my mission on earth is to let everyone know that the gods should not be worshipped. |

PastorAIO: One of the many reasons . You are a God to the extent that you can exercise control over something. Its what it is supposed to be . But there are religions which have entities that have no control over anything and they are gods or do have control over something and they are not gods. Example In Collyridianism, Mary is worshiped as a goddess simply because she is the mother of Christ; in Confuscianism, ancestral spirits control the fortune of the descendents but they are not deified . That's why I said God is just a title given to any entity for different reasons , there are no generally accepted reasons So the Judges in ancient Israel were recognised as Gods. Judges , Kings, rulers who have power over the people are seen as gods in the bible . And don't forget, an object of worship or veneration isn't necessarily a god . In the Juche , the Supreme Leader of North Korea is worshiped and venerated. In Catholicism, Mary is worshiped and venerated. Popular lesbian seductress Natalie Barney worships her targets as a way of seducing them but she does not deify them. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

KingEbukasBlog: To an extent you seem to concede to Ayo's new inquiry that Godhood is an endowment which can be gained and lost. Also entities can be Gods based on their relative degree of control 1 Like 1 Share |
