God is a spirit and not a sensual being

i need someone to disprove this and quote me anywhere!

God is a spirit and not a sensual being
He has no Feelings

given that theists allege God is beyond human comprehension. how exactly did u know this.

if God is a spirit, then what's the point of the trinity. shouldn't God just be the holy spirit ignoring the God the father and God the son

Ignoring?

what do you mean

God sent his son, to come to earth to feel what we feel

The trinity is not for fun!

God sent his son, to come to earth to feel what we feel

if God is a spirit, then a person in man's flesh can't be a God. if God is a spirit, then there can only be one God(God the holy spirit). why does God need to feel what we feel, he is omnipresent. God is everywhere and doesn't need to come down to earth(he has infinite powers right?).


The trinity is not for fun!

the trinity is more of a joke from the council of nicea, since it wasn't mentioned in the bible

If God doesn't "feel" as you say, what do all the verses and many more then mean?

Numbers 22:22
But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

Psalm 78:59
When God heard them, he was very angry; he rejected Israel completely.

Deuteronomy 32:21
They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.

Exodus 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Nahum 1:2
The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and maintains his wrath against his enemies.

1 Corinthians 10:5
Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.

Psalm 2:4
The One enthroned in heaven[u] laughs[/u]; the Lord scoffs at them.


Psalm 37:13 (Whole Chapter)
but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.


Psalm 59:8 (Whole Chapter)
But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations.

1 Kings 3:10 (Whole Chapter)
The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this.

John 3:16 (Whole Chapter)
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, [ Or his only begotten Son] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

so how about it? are they all figures of speech not meant to be taken literally that God was actually feeling angry, pleased, jealous, laughing etc?

@ Jesoul

I think she needs to define what she means by 'feel' so we know what exactly we need to discuss

If God sent His Son to 'feel what we feel' doesn't that mean God has feelings?

Debosky you're right. Oya Gamine explain urself!

Yeah gamine, pls explain, cos if God is love and i'm sure u will agree the love is a feeling, then He must feel. i beg of you, explain

what do they teach in church these days? Just tithes and offerings?

Yepa ripa!

See wetin Atayero don cause ooh!


Anyways this is meant to be a debate

i dont see any debate here, rather i see ignorance. Read your bible well and you will find the answers you seek, infact such "debates" as these would not come up if only we took the pains to open that bible gathering dust on our shelves.
Soon someone will be here to ask us if Christ ate.

i think she has retired from the debate,

Darkey, you know we are in this thing together o!

@4Him

one word for you and your nebulous drivel!
"He who thinks highly of himself
Should stop and mend his ways, lest he falls into a very wide pit!"

Yes,God cannot feel(and i am not talking about the OT god).Not only because it is a spirit,but also because it is omniscient(all knowing).Any being that is all knowing cannot feel anything.
Why,you ask?Because omniscient is a state that strips anyone of emotions.
Unexpectedness makes us feel emotions.If you expect someone to love you and be loyal to you,and that person betrays you with another,you feel the emotions of ANGER,JEALOUSY,WRATH,SADNESS,DISSAPOINTMENT,etc.,etc.
You feel all these emotions because you did not EXPECT the person you love to betray you with another.
Now UNEXPECTEDNESS results from lack of OMNISCIENCE,ignorance of what will happen in the future.YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE BETRAYED.You were in a state of NOT KNOWING.And that is why you feel those emotions.
But since God is omniscient,always knowing,allknowing,in such a situation it will know about the act of betrayal before it is committed,and what God already know will happen can hardly generate any emotions or feelings of any sort.And this is also true with humans.What you already expect to happen can hardly compel you to any sort of feeling.
I think they call that state of mind,"being jaded".
And jadedness comes from knowing too much.Been there,seen it,done it,kind of thing.
For God to feel anything,it needs us to be ignorant,so that whatever we feel,God can feel it too.And that is why some believe that God is in us,living and experiencing everything we feel and experience, live and direct.
Without us and our state of ignorance,God has no chance of feeling anything.
This gives you a little bit of idea of why we are here in the first place,and why we are so ignorant.It has to be that way to serve God's purpose of feeling and experiencing emotions.
We are all God's "FEELINGS CONTAINERS or MEDIUMS"
My humble opinion.I might be wrong,but that is how i understand things.

you just had to plagiarise the phrase i use eh? 
I understand.

I don't think highly of myself at all . . . i'm simply making a point . . . some "debates" can be solved if only we opened the pages of the bible . . . many bibles are free so we have no excuse.
Besides, what is taught in churches today if the flock have no idea that the God they serve can be touched by the feeling of their infirmities?

darkey:

i think she has retired from the debate,

sister Gamine say it ain't so?
Debosky said you must have a different definition of "feel"? I am very much intrested in hearing it. . .

this issue originated from a discussion we had in class, i advised her against it but she didnt listen

@4Him

na only u wey know how to speak Grammer??

@Jesoul
i don't believe in what i wrote
so my argument is weak
just trying to see what others thought

@Darkey
must dey know we dey d same class

Gamine:

you are very knowledgable.

credit to u.

@ topic, there's more to fink of thn worry whether God feels or not.

No one is worrying about a thing

Just an open discussion

Which started in one of my classes

If you know anything abt information theory, shannon and coding

this kind of ignorance coming from the most religious country on earth with the biggest church in the world. na wa o. what exactly do they teach little ones in sunday school these days sef?

someone said tithes and offering. i think that is the problem.

one big difference between christianity and other religions is that in other religions you have man looking for a god and fighting for a god and killing for a god but in xtainity it is God looking for man. for the tithes, yeah the bible talks of tihtes but the bible said something about feeding my flock. today we see great pastors and great churches with impoverished congregation. the flock is feeding the shepherd now. tithes sermons have overtaken morality and humility sermons.

imagine this question in this topic. shameful

Mr Otele

Its shameful that you would leap before you look
Your contribution is Drivelistic

Stick to what concerns you

LOL
o'boy wey my dictionary

drivelistic no dey dictionary.com

@Gamine:

God the Almighty Allah the Creator has feelings: Afterall, He laid down the Laws and discriminates between right and wrong: He provides ample examples of rewards for good and punishments for evil. The greatest of evil deeds is disbelieving in His existence and or associating anything along with Him. God creates Paradise as a reward for those who He bestows His Mercy on and Hellfire for those He will enact Justice upon. Of course He has feelings.

Of course He has

Gamine:

. . . . . just be a Nebulous Conundrum !

even when i never talk
