Perhaps these are REALLY revealing questions! (page 2)

1.God is three persons in ONE....Hmmmm, how many have lost their lives over this concept of God. "It's just as blasphemous to define God, as it is to denie him"...Rhinehold Niebur.

2.God is a singularity of individual personality with a separate "son".....Romans 8:14-17, Pau'ls attempt to answer the question.

3.God is an intelligence without name or knowable identity....See quote from #1.

4.God is female...A priori comment. If God, as creator, made man and woman it is resasonable to conclude God is both masculine and femminine. Don't forget there are two creation stories in Genisis.

I have come to a place in my life wherein God has become a highly personel and individual part of my life. Doing to the best of my ability to live by "The Law of the Good Samaritain". Maintaining this all the Creator expects of us. Faith without works is indeed dead. If your going to talk the talk, you had better walk the walk. Also, I have no problem talking, or disscussing God all day long, but see absolutly no value in attempting to convert anyone to what I belive or feel about spritual things. It is up to the other person to reach their own conclusions, not for me to judge, nor say.

journey-on, I really like your description of the trinity....

These things are not easy to put into words, but I think you got it down. The sun, from which we get the Christ energy, is a step down transformer that receives energy from a higher dimension and converts it into an energy usable in ours.

Where would gods be in the human mindset if not of the prevalence of the fear of gods held to in are expressive thoughts ?

My answers are quite similar to SaltyOldLady's. I am assuming you do not want an explanation of what you think God is, or who, but rather how you would relate if God were:

1.God is three persons in ONE

Mysterious. Somewhat separated from us because we cannot relate to that. I might not be able to feel as close to God, or have a personal relationship... so that relationship would be more formal; more of obedience.

2.God is a singularity of individual personality with a separate "son"

This is more along what I believe. I can feel personal with God, because I can relate to and feel a personal relationship with His Son. God is not 'out of reach' here, in understanding or in a relationship - though it be through His Son. Less formal. No less respect, but obedience would come more from love, rather than rules.

3.God is an intelligence without name or knowable identity

What relationship, then? Perhaps an appreciation for life, (depending on the nature of one's life), in a more Buddhist sense.

4.God is female

I don't know how to answer that. It makes me uncomfortable. I would be more afraid of a female 'god'. I also know that this is because of stereotypes on my behalf.

In truth, I think God embodies both male and female, being Spirit; though I think of Him as Father, and through Christ. I am comfortable with that. I don't think it matters to God.

God is a singularity of individual personality with a separate "son , also God's holy spirit plays an important part.

I accept that there is one God, the creator. I also accept He had a son, known as Jesus in the Bible. According to the Scriptures His holy spirit is what helps us when we pray for assistance.

To add, that sort of makes God three persons in one- really.

Good questions Terry, many more can be asked. How would we treat............if

we believe He will kill us if we don't worship him?

he is a person of our imagination based on what the bible says and the borg say He is?

I can't tell anybody how they should feel or act or think. I'm just interested in watching people think about what they already think.

I find it endlessly interesting to find ways to look at what you have already accepted as true and try to see it FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Example, I had not seen my cousin Debbie for many years. But, we got together at my Aunt Florence's funeral. Afterward we were talking about

our current lives. Small talk.

She told me that she and her husband, Bobby, have two other people living with them now.

All I did is ask the following question: "WHY?"

You should have seen her face!

She had not really thought about it "why".

One of these people was an army buddy of Bobby's who had been down on his luck and who was given a place to stay

until he got on his feet. That was 2 years ago!

The other was an old man from the Harley club where they ride. His wife skipped out on him. They invited him to stay awhile to pull him

through tough times.

That was 4 years ago!

Until I asked "WHY?" Debbie had not stopped to question WHY they were still there!

She started to get angry. (At herself and Bobby.)

I find all that really interesting.

We accept things. We adjust.

Unusual things become commonplace when we live around them.

We can embrace almost any bizarre practice if we see others performing it regularly.

I think it is important to find a DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE for the things we already accept as true.

After all we take a bath, put on fresh clothes, clean house and such pretty often....don't we?

Why not air out the contents of our own MIND???

Would God fit into a size 6 Dress or think her behind was still to big........

We should carry a little pocket notebook and pen with us and every time we have a God thought

we put a hash mark in it.//// //// //// //// ////,,,,,,,

When we reach a hundred we put it in an envelope and bury it under an oak tree.

Then, we wait 25 years and check the bellies of squirrels who are eating the acorns.

If there is the image of Jesus on them we rejoice!

If not, we give the whole god thing up!

If you aren't a christian you look for the image of the Buddha or L.Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith or......hell, you get the idea!

I'm just interested in watching people think about what they already think.

Me, too.

I am constantly amazed and somewhat baffled by the fact that there are people that don't feel nor see a conscious force at work around them. I'm serious about this.

I can understand the rejection of the "biblical God" with all the doctrine and dogma that come from all the religious boxes that have been built to put people into, but I cannot fathom going through Life not cognizant of that "God" energy all around us. It's palpable (to me). They have thrown the baby out with the bathwater, imo! In their rejection of the traditional concept, they went blind. Their upward spiral fizzled out.

I try to flow through Life conscious of what is within me and what is outside me teaching, guiding, informing, and revealing. I have, at times, been blown away by an experience and the subsequent knowing that it came from something "apart" from ME. If those thoughts are to be hash marked, I would be losing too many things of value to me.

Perhaps these are REALLY revealing questions!
