    I think the problem lies in our ability to see time.

    If true, then either we are the only intelligent physical creatures in the universe or any ET's must have a defined relationship to the Christian God and His Son. metatron

    What Must Be the Case if Christianity is True?

    What Must Be the Case if Christianity is True?

    That although we see completely different perspectives and evolving theologies in the Bible, including many things that are barbaric and superstitious to the core, it was authored by one divine mind.

    I don't think the bible says that other events are NOT Real.

    John is confusing INSIPRED by God with AUTHORED by God.

    How do you define the difference between authored and inspired when it comes to the Bible?

    Does god get off the hook because of symantics here?

    Well, I can be inspired by my love for God to write about him, just as you can be or anyone else, but doe sthat mean we are speaking for God?

    Does it mean God is doing the writing through Us?

    God creates inferiors.

    What do inferiors lack? They lack what God has that they do NOT have.

    God creates LACK in others.

    God has a supply and demand business.

    If you want what I have you can only get it from ME under my terms of business.

    God can do anything, have anything, go anywhere and never die or suffer injury.

    So, what does God decide he wants to complete his already perfect existence?

    God wants his inferiors to give him everything THEY have! If they don't give it---He threatens them and kills them.

    God has a deep, deep flaw that nobody ever talks about.

    God is insufficient for himself. This insufficiency provoked him to create "others".

    God is insecure unto himself. That is why he creates inferiors.

    God is man's insanity.
