God got it right......and in the process , God also gave man a free will...knowing man would screw up.


well "MorningSong" if you say that God got if right then you just admitted that God's aim was to create Man to screw up ..those are your words ...and that is why a perfect God would not lessen itself by creating imperfection unless the God was imperfect ...

Atheism: In the beginning there was nothing. Which exploded.



You may want to look up the deffinition of the word. You seem quite confused.


Yeah, well, I didn't write this, I just found it interesting, but not quite as interesting as watching all you people turn on each other. I'm sure God enjoyed all of this. And if you don't believe in God, well, good luck.

Spock died for the sins of the crew and Khan and was later resurrected like Jesus ...which implies that the genesis machine was God which implies that technology shall replace God and rule as God

God is the Word......



"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).


Funches.....the Word on the pages is the Logos (written) Word.

But, When the written word takes root in one's spirit ...it becomes alive....it becomes rhema(life)

drinker drinker drinker :wink:

Which God?


Yeah, I think he meant which god since multiple religions call their god different names and some religions are polytheastic. That's one of the major problems I have always had with religion. People say that if you don't believe in God you are going to suffer in hell but they aren't very specific on Which God. A christian and a Wiccan or a Muslim. They believe in god or a higher power, but not the same one. Still doesn't mean they don't believe though. So who is right?

Are you saying that you believe there is just one god that emcompasses all the religions and people just call it seperate things or are you saying that you believe that in whatever religion you follow that there is one god and all the other religions are incorrect.

Sorry, I have to be nosey because there are multiple ways to interpret most things. Especially when it comes down to religion. So I have to ask in order to understand exactly what you are saying. I don't so much care about what religion you are or what you call your God. What I care about and what I find interesting is why people think the way the do and what their reasons are for what they choose to believe.

It's very rare to find people that express that without being questioned and so I have to ask questions. My intention wasn't to be nosey. Just to understand.
