  IS GOD REAL? HOW DO YOU KNOW?

  this is an honest question on my part.

  someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.

  in fact, it was a turning point for me.

  FlyingHighNow I think I understand what you are saying. It occured to me that esthetics proves a designer. There are so many things that look just right to me. I did not share it before because the counter aurgument is that the appreciation of beauty is learned. Our brains choose to believe it is just right and beautiful. But I agree with you. The beautiful balance of nature proves to me God is real.

  The other example you gave is a good one too imo. The glands and the organs working together. The only way that is possible is for them to have evolved simultaneously. Not just once, but hundreds of times in many different species.

  Peace

  I have had some time to think of who is my mother if God is my father. The God I know is complete, holy, not lacking in anything. So there exists no need for a mother, just a prayer, a choosing and a dedication to see the end of it, whatever it shall be.

  N.Drew, it was real question. I was not joking. soft&gentle

  I have a human mother and father. Haha! And I'm not adopted. So, my mother is my mother.

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

  blindnomore I wish to say something about your loss. "You bury your child in your heart", sadly beautiful and true. It is kind of you to share your loss here too and prove that your loved one lives on in your heart.

  Please accept my sincere regards to you and your family.

  I have a question for those who know their bibles (I don't). Do the hebrew scriptures personify qualities or does God have qualities rather than being them?

  soft+gentle this is a No Bible Thread. I think is a good enough topic to start a new thread.

  love has traditionally been associated with the feminine - Aphrodite and then Venus

  Interesting you should say so. I have observed (but I might be off track with it) that people equate God with hope. If I am correct in assuming the mother of faith is hope, then making God equal to hope would be feminizing HIM, wouldn't it?

  so is the father a quality as well as a person?

  Yes, I believe so. But please do not take my answer out of context. God is FIRST a person. Secondly a quality which is love.

  All the best to you too snare&racket! I am sorry I don't seem sincere.

  I think it is so cool you dissected a human. I like crime lab stories the best on TV. But real research smells bad so I think I am never going to dissect a dead thing. How does one cope with the smell? I hate even mousy smells.

  That wasn't nice snare&reacket, but having an opinion is A-OK in my book.

  N.Drew if God is your sp father who is your mother?

  OK, in case the question is legitimate I shall venture to guess that HOPE is my mother.
