What according to you God would be? An emotional person or a pratical person ruling this world, universe or cosmos. I think If God rules this world emotionally, this world would be a great chaos. If the rules this world practically, he would be able to manage it more appropriately? What is your idea about this? Looking out for a great debate on this. So please reply!!!

UNFORTUNATLY GOD GAVE THE EARTH TO MAn to dominate and look what a mess we have made of it its about time he took it back because we just arnt doing to well are we? Genesis 1 : 26. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; (((fill the earth and subdue it.)))

Hey Revaudphiee Thanks for your response. I am unable to comphrehend what you are telling here. However, let me put it accross in a different way. I know people say God will do this, if you do that. Just Pray to God and you would get what you want. Do you think, God would fulfill your wish based on your emotional getures. Do you think God you give you what you dont deserve based on your prayers? DO yout think, God would wash off your sin just becasue you pray to him day and night. Or Do you think God would give you only what you deserve, no matter how hard you pray? You have to pay for your own sins, no matter how hard you pray? God would fulfill your wish only if you deserve it?

Like most artists G-d is moody and emotional.But just because He is emotional doesn't mean He can't be practical.

Hey sarahruthbeth Thanks for your reply. However, your reply makes me think of God as full of human attributes, who reacts to his mood :-)

I believe all the attibutes that man has God has them also, the good attributes that is. In the bible it says there we were created in His own image. when we talk of image I believe that includes inner image like feelings. Remember God can hate ? God can love ? God can forgive?

A most excellent question! One that before it can be answered necessitates the clearing away of some conceptual confusions. We have inhereted, from Plato amoungst others, the idea that we are like a charioter drawn by two horses, one well schooled and responsive to command the other wild and unpredictable; the former of course being wisdon, practical or theoretical the other the emotions. This picture is, I believe wrong, and by wrong I mean more than just untrue. Just as our bodies can suffer from physical problems and our brains from nuerological problems so our minds can suffer from conceptual problems. A faulty or confusion conception can alter the way you are. If you you believe Platos picture of how we are you start to see yourself in these term. Seeing yourself as divided between the well mannered horse of the intellect and the wild horse of the emotions blinds you from seeing yourself as a whole intergrated person. A person that may think emotionally and be intellegent about their emotions. Achieving this unity is a real advance. Surely then God is not torn between his emotions and his practical wisdom but acts as an integrated whole, since he is most holy. all the best urban

God wishes the best for us because he loves us. When we shun God and wilfully ignore him naturally that is painful for him. It is this, which is sin that separates us from God. Rather than allow us to suffer in this way, God so loved the world that he gave his own son to live and die to save us. God suffered with us and laid down his life for us. This is the greatest act of love imaginable. all the best urban

oh!!! Got ur point...I wasnt knwin I am dealin with the concept of God and his son once again..Now I realsied why you dont understand the concept of Karma. If God has already sacrifieced his sons life to save the human race, why humans are still sufferring!! I knw the ans dont bother to reply... Thanks for your reply though.

urban... thanks for your insight about God being a integrated whole...Can u illustrate an example about God ever being emotional intelligent!!! I never came across any such example where God had done sumthing out of emotional...I dont think any emotional whether intelligent or not exsists...I think he just follows rules or laws and if anybody doesnt follow it, he has to pay for not following the rule...he is abandoned by God for this....Give me one example where god has trated humble to someone who had not followed these laws....

I do not beleive the Creator micro manages all life. I would put it this way, the Creator has already told us what he wants from us. He does not hover over us makeing sure we walk a strait line, however there is reward and punnishment. We take the Creators will add to it and take awy what we don't like, then blame the Creator when everything blowsup! I am sure he looks upon his creation and has to sigh, He wants to give us good things but we insist that our way is better and the more we try to do our way the more srewed up we make our lifes. One day he will have to intervein and stop our madness before all life is destroyed, and seriously I say launch the missles! lets set the world on fire so that finaly we might know some peace.

Hey Seogouy, Thanks for your reply. To some extent, I agree with you. Remembe, thats why when you gave me the analogy of GOD and father and three sons, I said, I too dont belive that God is actually like father. He had made certain rules which is to be followed and if you dont follow such rules, you would be punished. You canot go away with it, just by prayers or asking God to forgive you :-)

he is not an imotional person -- he cannot be captured in the five sences -- he is not made up of something but he is the creator of every thing -- if he is made up of some material so where did the material came from and who made the god. so the one who made every thing we know him as the god.the topic you are trying to discuss is very difficult, and if you want to know who and how is the god?first try to understand who are you where did you come from and why and what will happen to you to and your soul?if you succeed to know this you will certainly come to know that who is god. god has created all the living beings and non living beings for a purpose you will never know!! he has managed every ting properly its our fault we dont understand it, if every one was well and good on the earth and there would be no enimity --- then there would be no reason for creating the world and the concept of heven and hell would be false,it is due to our fault that we dont manage ourselves properly.because we have given choise and brain to accept the truth or not to accept. look at the animals do they have any conflicts! and do they distroy the nature? why the human being do it and then blame the god -- look at the creation of god by justified vision-- you will know some thing about god.

God is derrived from inner voice that wants to meet the essence of life and the aim of life seems to be boring when we are busy with wordly joys of family,friends,jobs,money and other materialistic things and thus we forgot our selves we are human and come in world for not collecting materialistic things and thus comes the third power which is with in ourselves and so believing this power within ourselves craetes the essence of GOD and thus we can find a relation with religion.
