Re: 21 gr? Hi Juantoo Thanks for the welcome. I meant the breath of God. Interestingly though, if God is life then the breath of God and the breath of Life might be considered synonymous? I which case , if what you say is correct, there is nothing to distinguish man from animal in this...

Re: 21 gr? Just to expound a little, I undertstand that the name "Adam" literally means dirt/earth/mud/ashes combined with the breath of God. It seems logical then that Adam minus the breath of God is just dirt/earth/mud/ashes. Referring back to Genesis 6:3, God seems to be saying that He...

Re: 21 gr? Interestingly, Genesis 6:1 suggests that man is just flesh and not of The Spirit?

Re: Omnipotent God? Thanks Qua - I feel a little better about it all now. What on earth is the "Guff"? I think He can because He can do anything. Rather He chooses not to. Perhaps the ultimate example of self discipline and control? I think that is part of what Christianity is about; the more...

A soul? Perhaps a soul is a living memory of you within the eternal mind of God. It is the permanent and eternal mark that is left by us within God. Just a thought... Thanks Paul.

Re: Omnipotent God? Persona, OK, you seem to be suggesting that God doesn't know everything I'm going to do. This means that God is not totally omniscient and so is to a degree limited. Perhaps I have taken the meaning of omniscience a little too literally then? To put what I said below...

Re: Omnipotent God? PersonNonGrata, LOL! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! Are you suggesting your mother is the omniscient creator of the universe? All this time I've been searching for God and it turns out to be your mother!! I think I need to lie down for a while... I don't know...

louis, For those who do not believe in what exactly? Do you believe that my suggestion is devoid of all merit? Thanks Paul.

Perhaps "good" is simply a set of life rules defined by society which in turn are based on the needs of the individual who in turn is dependant on society. So then "evil" is anything contrary to the rules of "good", ie, the rules of society. Maybe the two concepts are a sort of psychological...

Re: Omnipotent God? If deity is outside of any temporal condition then deity must exist in a single unchanging state across all moments of time. Fine. If deity created this universe of space/time/energy then deity must be present outside of the universe also. Fine. If an omniscient deity...

Re: Omnipotent God? Not a reply to anyone in particular... I think it's pretty clear that an omniscient god is incompatible with human free will. To be all knowing requires foreknowledge of all human activity, thus from the deity's perspective, all human activity is pre-determined. This in...
