Oh now I'm "little one" because we don't agree? I see your brand of condescension is gradually surfacing.

God is NOT a title when it is used as a proper noun. macof is a proper noun. InesQor is a proper noun. Nairaland is a proper noun. Nigeria is a proper noun. Read more about proper nouns here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_noun

A more appropriate question you could have been asking in this context of a proper noun is "Who is God?" and not "Which God"?

KingEbukasBlog:
InesQor , you get time to lecture these people sef . They have been to different atheist websites , been brainwashed and are here showing off . Things like "your god" , "the Christian God" , "sky daddy" , "which god are you talking about" etc are what most foreign atheists use just get at Christians though or make us angry. Who doesn't understand that God is the Most High and the uppercase "G" is used to address Him.



These jokes are getting boring

But hey macof and GooseBaba here is the "missing link" ,>> https://www.nairaland.com/2221078/need-boyfriend

johnydon22:
God as a proper noun is used when referring to the supreme being of every monotheic religion not just one am sure you know..

thats why allah is also spelt God, and these other monotheic religions spells theirs God; Babism, the Bahá'í Faith , Cao
Dai (Caodaiism) , Cheondoism (Cheondogyo) , Christianity, Deism ,
Eckankar, Islam , Judaism , Rastafari, Ravidassia religion , Seicho no Ie,
Shaivism , Shaktism , Sikhism , Tenrikyo (Tenriism) , Vaishnavism , and
Zoroastrianism.

the word "god" as a noun means simply a deity... All these polytheist and monotheist God concepts all fall under the category of a deity. . spelling any as "god" is still not wrong because they are all deities.

InesQor:
I remember you better now, macof. I should have simply ignored you. Have fun.

InesQor:
It is sensible to see the context of my original post and deduce that in the phrase "It must have been controlled by a prime-mover, and for me that's God", God is being used as a proper noun to name supreme deity that was a prime mover or creator.

The next question might then be "Who is this God you speak of?" (Then I'll tell you other things to help you identify this being) or "What is your religion / worldview?" (Which macof knew very well but he was clearly being mischievous), rather than the obtuse "Which God?" (Followed by allegations of delusion when their logic fails), because God as used in that context has only one meaning: creator.

Whatever worldview supports the idea of God as used there is secondary; in my usage God meant "creator". Surely that's clear to any objective mind.

macof:
You have nothing to offer anyway

InesQor:
Sour grapes.

So you knew I have nothing to offer yet you came on to me like a b!tch on heat? Don't you have better things to do with your time?

macof:
I thought you were supposed to ignore my comments

SopranoCoder:
No no no.

I'm a christian AND I support the Evolution theory.
The evolution theory never said God didn't create us, it just gives a gradual means to the creation.

When Copernicus said the sun was the centre of the solar system the Church imprisoned him and said it was heresy. But today we know he was correct.

so please people, keep an open mind, read widely.

The GENEALOGY OF Jesus?
In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary (PBUH) is mentioned. Matthew 1:6-16 and Luke 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary and Step father of Jesus(PBUH). The first one starts from Abraham(verse 2) all the way down to Jesus. The second one from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The only common name to these two lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can this be true? and also How can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.

A huge "Lol" at this , I read this twice and it just raised more questions while refuting my post . And it doesn't understand the so-called "misconceptions" .It just beats round the bush and leaves your more confused .

Philadelphia:
OP. You are confused and here to deceive gullible Christians. You are pretending to be a bible scholar, referring us from one verse to another to support your fallacies, which do not even agree with your fallacious statements.
Just only one question for you; Show me only one bible verse that talks about pre-Adamic age (that proves that Adam was not the first man but a restored man created in the image of God).
Show me the bible verse that says that God destroyed the earth with flood after He cast Satan down to earth. "There was war in heaven..." (Rev:12:7) and not on earth.
