I did not see this.
To believe something to be true is not the same as an assumption. Belief can be based on knowledge.

I encourage you NL Atheists to be rigorous with your thinking and stop being impulsive.

That you believe an assumption to be true doesnt make it true...
If you are honest to yourself, you have no idea what or who or how this your god is exactly; You are just assuming how you think it is or how you want it to be so its plain assumption...
That you believe this assumption to be true doesnt make it true, same goes to that you believe that their is a supernatural man that is not a man too that lives in the sky, has a son and exhibits human traits and emotions like jealousy does not making it true that their is such entity.

"Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge. Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness. May God's grace be with you all." (1 Timothy 6:20-21)

Was only just a simple question that only needed a simple answer!!! smh

eeeeeeeeeeeeasy young man, no dey rush

You assumed wrongly that this 2 lines from the body text contradict each other. Not so.


Your error is the fact that you are confusing Person for Physical

From a Christian orthological perspective:
A human individual is a physical being possessing mind, will, emotions; therefore, a physical person (corporeal).
We believe in the existence of spirits: A spirit can think, exercise will, express emotions; therefore an incorporeal person
---------------------------------------------------------------------
corporeal
kɔːˈpɔːrɪəl/
adjective
adjective: corporeal
relating to a person's body, especially as opposed to their spirit.
"he was frank about his corporeal appetites"

antonyms: incorporeal

incorporeal

SNCOQ3:
Question: "Is God male or female?"

Answer: In examining Scripture, two facts become clear. First, God is a Spirit and does not possess human characteristics or limitations. Second, all the evidence contained in Scripture agrees that God revealed Himself to mankind in a male form. To begin, God’s true nature needs to be understood. God is a Person, obviously, because God exhibits all the characteristics of personhood: God has a mind, a will, an intellect, and emotions. God communicates and He has relationships, and God’s personal actions are evidenced throughout Scripture.

As John 4:24 states, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” Since God is a spiritual being, He does not possess physical human characteristics. However, sometimes figurative language used in Scripture assigns human characteristics to God in order to make it possible for man to understand God. This assignment of human characteristics to describe God is called “anthropomorphism.” Anthropomorphism is simply a means for God (a spiritual being) to communicate truth about His nature to humanity, physical beings. Since humanity is physical, we are limited in our understanding of those things beyond the physical realm; therefore, anthropomorphism in Scripture helps us to understand who God is.

Some of the difficulty comes in examining the fact that humanity is created in God’s image. Genesis 1:26-27 says, “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

Both man and woman are created in the image of God, in that they are greater than all the other creations as they, like God, have a mind, will, intellect, emotions, and moral capacity. Animals do not possess a moral capacity and do not possess an immaterial component like humanity does. The image of God is the spiritual component that humanity alone possesses. God created humanity to have a relationship with Him. Humanity is the only creation designed for that purpose.

That said, man and woman are only patterned after the image of God—they are not tiny “copies” of God. The fact that there are men and women does not require God to have male and female features. Remember, being made in the image of God has nothing to do with physical characteristics.

We know that God is a spiritual being and does not possess physical characteristics. This does not limit, however, how God may choose to reveal Himself to humanity. Scripture contains all the revelation God gave to humanity about Himself, and so it is the only objective source of information about God. In looking at what Scripture tells us, there are several observations of evidence about the form in which God revealed Himself to humanity.

Scripture contains approximately 170 references to God as the “Father.” By necessity, one cannot be a father unless one is male. If God had chosen to be revealed to man in a female form, then the word “mother” would have occurred in these places, not “father.” In the Old and New Testaments, masculine pronouns are used over and over again in reference to God.

Jesus Christ referred to God as the Father several times and in other cases used masculine pronouns in reference to God. In the Gospels alone, Christ uses the term “Father” in direct reference to God nearly 160 times. Of particular interest is Christ’s statement in John 10:30: “I and the Father are one.” Obviously, Jesus Christ came in the form of a human man to die on the cross as payment for the sins of the world. Like God the Father, Jesus was revealed to humanity in a male form. Scripture records numerous other instances where Christ utilized masculine nouns and pronouns in reference to God.

The New Testament Epistles (from Acts to Revelation) also contain nearly 900 verses where the word theos—a masculine noun in the Greek—is used in direct reference to God. In countless references to God in Scripture, there is clearly a consistent pattern of His being referred to with masculine titles, nouns, and pronouns. While God is not a man, He chose a masculine form in order to reveal Himself to humanity. Likewise, Jesus Christ, who is constantly referred to with masculine titles, nouns, and pronouns, took a male form while He walked on the earth. The prophets of the Old Testament and the apostles of the New Testament refer to both God and Jesus Christ with masculine names and titles. God chose to be revealed in this form in order for man to more easily grasp who He is. While God makes allowances in order to help us understand Him, it is important to not try to “force God into a box,” so to speak, by placing limitations on Him that are not appropriate to His nature.

Philfearon have u developed any psychic power?. Have u ever used it to achieve any goal?, of all the adept that i know in the esoteric circle non has ever been able to demonstrate mind power over matter in practical terms unlike masters or adept of the ancient world why is it so? is it that thier secret has been lost? can't it be revived? Yes magic(witchpower,psychic power) in it's true sense is all power of the mind and will but i am begining to think that meditation alone is not the only way to acquire them as u ur self can testify e:g- look at t.b joshue u think he got his own via meditation alone i don't think so.man what i am saying is this, i want power, real power!

Dolemite:
I sure know your God, wasted 8 years of my life worshiping a God that doesn't even exist - your God is all knowing right? Omniscient, so if I die and go to hell he must have known that before he created me, so in a way I'm doing God's will, please don't deceive me, I don't want to fxck up God's divine plan.

P.S
I wish hell really existed though, a lot cool people would be there.

You forgot to add that he ordained Saul king over Israel and later regretted making him king.
Yahweh is a complete dondi!

But that story shows he doesnt know that saul would eventually turn out bad which means he aint omnipotent... chai this guys that wrote the bible are even more confused about the nature of this dia invented god shaa.. omnipotent, no not omnipotent..

gatiano:
The concept of either dying or passing on is not a difficult subject. The main question is what is responsible for our lives? what makes this our body do all the activities she does? and what then is responsible of her dieing state when she expires?

I advice you read my post again!

what? someone acting on his/her sexual urge is due to an unclean spirit?
nawa oooo!!!

Mtcheeeeeeeew... children !!!
The kinda of guilt that have been imbedded into you guys is saddening ...

I suppose some people find some comfort in the whole notion of "passing over" instead of simply "dying".
It is not difficult to understand why we create stories for ourselves given that we are probably/almost the only species that know from a very young age that we shall die one day.
Other creatures just live in the moment.
I doubt that the birds on trees, lizards and dogs etc are fretting about afterlife, or performing rituals to secure a place in heaven or escape hell; but our knowledge of the inevitable end of our being is something of a burden to us....... So why don't we just stop dwelling on the fantasies of an afterlife and just get on with what we have and where we are right now.
#Afterlife is an assumption

my brother even as much as we all know it is indoctrination from child birth is what keeps this delusions going, i still dont like the idea of mocking or insulting anyone's belief or religion... i will only say the truth about it and call on the intellectual reasoning of the person...
To me the main thing wrong with christians is the fear of hell fire...most find the idea of god implausible but still have no choice but worship if by chance he really existed, what he might do to them.
so you see? it is fear imbedded in them from childhood that is the problem...

heaven and hell are imaginative myths that was fabricated by religion to keep people in check...

frank317:
