I agree with all of that. In the thred where I had posed this question, I explained that I was not asking for explanations, merely a “canonized list of the Principles of Jesus”. Go look what I got.

But when a man asked Jesus for assistance, I seriously doubt there was even one time when he said, “Just go read the Scriptures”.

Of course not, as he was there to speak directly. Jesus spoke the words in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus gave us the two greatest commandments. As those teachings of Jesus, among many other things, can be found in the Gospels, suggesting that you read Scripture with an open heart isn’t that bad of an idea.

Having a bulleted list handed to you isn’t going to help any more than being told to sell all he owned and follow Jesus without being given the details of how was viewed as helpful by the rich man in Mark 10:21. The fact that being told to read Scripture isn’t acceptable to you doesn’t mean the answer is bad or incorrect. It just means that it isn’t what you want to hear 🙂

I’m afraid that I have to disagree with that.

The first act of love (a principle of Jesus) is to “pray” (seek the true need). If a man asked for a list, it might be so that he doesn’t really need a list. But if he insists, then a need is being expressed. To deny such an obvious display of need is hardly praying nor loving.

Thus he who denies an obvious request without substantial cause, is truly NOT following the very principles in question.

When I ask for a “bulletined list” (which I happen to believe is very needed by very many who don’t even ask for such), yet cannot get it, I have to conclude that either the list is not obtainable, or the person I am asking isn’t really following the principles of Jesus.

If there truly is substantial encumbrance in giving such a list, then giving an “over-view” list is very common with almost anything and certainly a place to compromise or get a man started. If he displays that it is not good enough for his need, then “well, the details are pretty long and require a lot of explanation” is certainly an acceptable reply.

But before you, and I am talking about after years, I have only gotten, blank looks, “Go read the Bible”, or long disorganized explanations. Having said that, I have to give credit to Prodigal_Son for giving short explanation with bolded emphasis on the primary principle.

But in any regard, I find it an act of love merely to ask for the list. 😉
 
If your intent is not merely to pester the Christians (and I am currently suspecting that it is), I can answer your question.

Although, as stated before, there are many logically correct and true answers, the simplest is;

God is *whatever *absolutely MUST be.

Again, if you are not merely pestering the Christians, I can logically defend that answer to whatever level you like. The Bible actually says it although you have to learn how to read it.
Dear James S.,

People who have faiths do not need any proofs because it is purely spiritual.
(Please be considerate when you are using the username.)

The existence of the God cannot be denied. The traditional concept of “the God” is a mistake from the past. Religions are built by both our ancestor and “the God”. She is our mother-in-common in biological explanations. Thus, she is our mother-in-common in reality.

The nature of the God has to be found through sciences. It is an era of rationality.

The God is physically presence. We are inside her “body” and the humankind (as well as our civilizations) is the result of evolution through time. The age of “the God” is approximately 4.5-6 billion years. The concept of “lives at different levels” in the biology is the key to find out the actual existence of “the God”.

Faiths cannot be abandoned because they are heritages and some sorts of teachings to preach the charity and love in our society. The role of the God should be our mother-in-common.

This is the truth behind every religion.

God Bless.

This is very imaginative indeed. But why do you believe this?
 
I am not sure what you mean by that. But what i can say is that he sounds like a pantheist. And if so, what does it mean to speak of God?
It is much like confusing the Church with God. If one loses sight of there being a God, then one is likely to accept that the Church must be God(dess).

In a metaphysical mindset, environment = Mother of all things and impetus = Father of all things. Son = the eventuality from their meeting.
 
God is the great thought we come from becuse we are thought (rene descartes-i think therfor i am) that is created in the image of god so if we are thought god must be thought in fact he is greatest thought becuse we can think of nothing greater than god. But what is the thought of god? It is love if you belive in love you belive in god to belive means you have a thought in your mind that you know to be true so if you know that love is a true thought you will know that god who is love is true becuse you cannot have one without the other.
 
Hi all, The original ? was what is “a” god. God is first ,was, is, always will be. Second , creator of all things including men. Third father by giving us Jesus. Fourth, savior and brother in the person of Jesus Christ. Fifth, Holy Spirit, leader, teacher, protector. So the original ?, what is a god is probably one of the many deities may up by men to fill the void in their lives before finding the true God. I think maybe. Any way I love him. Garland

With regards to your question above, I am posting my lastest article in my individual research below.

Applying Biological Concepts into Planets

Evaluations on the Concepts and Theories of Evolution


There are common characteristics among living things. By comparing them with the Earth, we will have a more concrete idea on how the eco-system (the life-cycles inside the planet) works. Thus, we can use the biological concepts (which can be applied on the Earth) as a solid ground to find out the validity of my hypothesis, ‘Planets are living things”. The similarities among living things are the clues to the live symptoms of the planets themselves. I have mentioned before that the planets themselves are alive, although their forms of existences and life expectancies are different from the living organisms inside. In fact, the forms of existences vary among living things.

Other planets in the solar system (in which, they can be reached and observed) are being adopted as the “control experiments” of the Earth. The cross-references in-between the Earth and other planet (i.e. the Mars) will definitely contribute to breakthroughs in our cosmology. This research will help us to find out the guiding principles of the mechanism in our universe. The ages of the planets are obstacles in the comparisons. The process of aging is an inevitable result of every planet. The key elements are the ages of these planets. The end of the “life-cycles” of the planets resulted in the extinctions of the planet without any live symptom. The inter-exchanges of the chemical particles inside a planet are almost invisible in these planets (in which, their life-cycles have come to an end) because of their “ages”. Thus, the symptoms of lives and evidences of civilizations have been demolished by unknown causes before or after their life-cycles have come to an end. The ages of the planets are speculations only.

To begin with, I am going to put the focus on evaluating the Earth with biological theories first in order to find out the similarities in-between the Earth and other living things. The applications of the biological theories on the Earth (e.g. reproduction, “life cycles” – growth and aging) are essential. Reviews on other scientific researches (including those under-developing theories) are necessary and essential. My hypothesis comes across various scientific subjects. Due to my limitations in the professionals for all of them, reviews on existing scientific theories are essential. I am taking up this research as a lifetime project because it is worthy. The “Definitions of Living Things” as I mentioned in my previous article are diversified in sciences and the proofs of my hypothesis are closely associated with them. The hypothesis “Lives at different levels” is different from the “evolution of species”. The planets are conscious objects. In which, she (the “God”) is thinking in a unity. The forms of presences take the lead in my hypothesis.

First, the “reconstruction” of the definitions of living things is my first approach. Plants (natural vegetations) acts like the organs inside the our bodies. Definitions of living things have to be modified. Two branches come in the first place during the classification of species: (1) Animals and Insects; (2) Plants. Under my hypothesis, the Earth is a living object. Plants are responsible for the interchanges of chemicals inside her body. They carried out the processes of “photosynthesis” which are necessary for her “life-cycles”. In which, their functions are necessary for maintaining the “life-cycles” of the Earth. They are not conscious. However,** “animals and insects” are her offspring. They are conscious.** Therefore, only “animals and plants” can be classified as ‘living things”. Hence, the definitions of the living things have been changed. Plants are not conscious and cannot be defined as “living things”. They are only organs inside a planet, but the planet itself is CONCIOUS. The questions of consciousness have to be the first criteria for the definitions of living things. “Animals and insects” are the offspring of the planet. All of them are conscious. Plants are not conscious because they are only the organs of the Earth. If the Earth is conscious, consciousness will become the ONLY definition of living things.

Second, the application of the “evolution” is another approach. The combination of the theories of “evolution” will definitely help to explain the diversification of the offspring of the planet. The Earth is the candle as well as the origin of lives. The planets themselves have “life-cycles” which may be accompanied with the evolutions of their offspring. It is the first attempt to illustrate my hypothesis. The complexity of lives may have cohesions and even in the same progress of the “life-cycles” of our Earth. The simplicity of lives from the beginning and gradually turned out to become more complex forms of lives throughout the time. The extinctions of all species are the end of the “life-cycles” of the planets. The diversification of species in the beginning and it gradually turned into extinctions of all species. Our civilizations are the major triggers for the acceleration of the process of extinctions of species. Thus, it has resulted in the chain effects of extinctions of species and destroyed the “life-cycles” inside the planet. The cohesiveness in-between the “evolutions and extinctions of species” and the “live-cycles” of the planet need further researches.** Under my hypothesis, planets carry out reproductions inside their bodies.** To be more specific, the “evolution and extinction of species” may act as both the “life-cycles” and “reproductions” of the Earth. In the meantime, it proves the Earth has undergone a process of growth. She “grows” from simplicity into complex forms of lives. This approach aims at improving my hypothesis. Evolution is a process of “growth” of the Earth. It is a continuous process in her “life-cycles”.

I am going to develop my hypothesis in the directions above.

God Bless

Emm… I know I’m going to regret asking but,

kk23wong?

Since you seem to have trouble with definitions yet propose to alter existing definitions and actually seem to want to throw in the controversial “conscious” issue into that blender,

Please try to give us your very, very clear definition of “Consciousness”? To be “Conscious” means what?

Consciousness == ?

Dear, Mr. James S.,
  1. The ability to think.
  2. To react and response to others with deviations.
  3. To learn and accumulate knowledge.
In another word, someone like you.

As I used to say, “Live and Death so simple. People imagine because of fears. I have it, so I admit it.” I am not an atheist. The God exist physically. The traditional concept of the God is a mistake from the past. In fact, she is our mother-in-common. The establishment of all religions in the world is the heritage from both the God and our ancestors.

May I ask by what means you came to conclude that God is female and that so many others so very educated were all wrong?

Dear Mr. James S.,

Thank you very much for your reply.

It is not a conclusion yet.

It is not a business of education. It is the question of the nature of the God.

The God is our mother-in-common. Definitions of living things have to be revised. Consciousness is the only way to define living things. As I have mentioned above, only animals and insects are living things because they are conscious. We are the offspring of the God (the Earth). Plants can grow and their diversification belongs to the conscious object, the God (the Earth).

As I used to say, “The power of the God comes from birth. Light is the initial.”

Maybe we should say goodbye to the Stone Ages.

I am still working on it right now.

You keep saying this, but why do you believe this?

Consciousness == awareness.

Life == effort to eternally continue.
Dear James S.,

As I used to say, “Beginner the God and with her end, brings us ours.”

She is eternal to all of us.

I do not presume to redefine the language and words of the Asians.

Why do you presume to redefine English?

Languages are barriers of geographical divisions.
They are used for communications, but not manipulations.
I can, if I would love to.

Life is a natural process from the date of your birth, growth, aging and death.
Life can be a treasure.
Life can be heaven. It can be something more.

I believe in the God, not for reigions.
I only believe in the truth.
I believe in science, but not imaginations.
