Hey TM

>Nothing wrong in trying to be good but trying to be God is a
>totally different ballgame.
>PS. I meant have a thinking of God that is pro-active i.e a
>thinking that affects ones life.

Trying to be LIKE God is not the same as trying to be God, please get the subtle difference.

>God is full of love BUT he is also a Just God. Bwana Satjas, I
>too love my kids and because I love them I have to
>punish/discipline them ones in a while. Otherwise they will
>end up as spoiled brats unfit to mix with society.

True Love never never never ever Hits or chastises someone with any kind of punishment. I'm afraid that by punishing your kids you will only be propagating the cycle because when they grow up they will do the same. The idea is to talk/ communicate and understand your children. Society is already so messed up so do not worry if they seem unfit.They are ok. Bring them up with Love, not fear and punishment.

>The point is that when you look at how all the people describe
>God you will realise that they worship totally different
>deities.

Yes i understand that, yet deep inside them they are all looking for the same thing, the same God. Aren't they all looking for inner peace, security, comfort?? The source of which is God??

>The human heart is desparately evil and sometimes can shock
>you what it can desire or do. 'Self-awareness' is just a way
>to escape reality.

I'm afraid you are very wrong here. The Human mind is a great wanderer. It is capable of thinking too many things at the same time. This is the one you are trying to call 'evil'. The Human heart relates to feelings. These feelings are the ones that do not wander, they stay with you until you change your state of being...so instead of being sad you start being happy. You cannot do sad or do happy,only be those things. When you become aware of this you become a better Human BE-ING because that is what you are. That is the reality, the truth. It is not an escape from reality.

>My God has a name and he knows me and everything about me. My
>God is much greater than his creation.

That is absolutely correct. However do not forget His creation is part of Him for He is All There Is. The sum of the parts can never be greater than the Whole. You said it!!!!!

>Are you taking about a created thing or the creator. God is
>not man and therefore can not be decribed as a man.

TM if you follow that route you will only be shooting yourself in the foot since Jesus was a man, and he knew he was a Part of God, the God that created Him Jesus. So yes jesus is like God just like you and I.

>My point is limited to a finite 3D naturalistic worldview, we
>will have an extrapolated extremely limited waped concept of
>God. Man can not know what God is like unless God chooses to
>personally revela himself. We can be now be thankful for Jesus
>and the Bible.

God did not only reveal Herself 2000 years ago, it also happens now. And when it happens it is like asking a dumb man to describe how sweet honey is.Can he? No, but he knows just how sweet it is!!!! I have met people who have experienced God. God will reveal Himself when you have absolutely no doubt about Him, and that means getting out of your mind, literally.

>>And any force is capable of expressing love.
>Is this for real.

When you reach that level you will understand.

>I the Lord do not change Mal 3:6

The Bible is not an authority on God, a man could have written that. However as i understand it God will not change His promises to us which include complete freedom of choice and His 10 commitements to us ( not 10 commandments).

>My friend, from the day I realised that I was a Sinner and I
>gave my life to God through Jesus Christ, He has been a good
>father. I know the voice of the spheherd.

If you know the voice of the shephard (spheherd????) then i will not have to elaborate your other post where you asked me about God Jesus the Bible etc. The day you realized you were a 'sinner' you shackled yourself in guilt and have since tried to do everything to prove you are no longer a 'sinner' including getting 'saved'. Thus one act was performed to justify the other. Try talkng to God and you will 'save' yourself from 'yourself'....the self you do not know about, the one that makes you UNAWARE, the one that tells you at this very moment i do not make sense.

>Your God is too small. At least you can acknowlegde that my God
>and yours are different then.

I will never be drawn into the petty argument of whose God is smaller or bigger. There is only ONE, no matter how you want to look at it. The perspective changes but the reality stays the same, ONE.

>1+1=2 is True. But neither is 1 or 2 God.

TM is a good guy, he is also generous and kind. When anyone thinks of the most kind thing they have ever done they immediately think of TM for TM is kindness, there is no other who has shown TM's kind of Kindness. We can therefore say TM is kindness.The other things like generosity and being Good also remind us of TM. Therefore TM epitomises kindness, generosity and Good. TM is kind, generous and Good. These three entities co-exist at the same time. One cannot be kind and bad or generous and selfish at the same time. Therefore in this case 1=1=1=1=Same. kindness +generosity does not = double good. it simply equals Good.

>>we are not sinners...we have simply forgotten Who We
>>Are........which is that We Are One.

>Is this for real?

yes it is my dear TM.

>PS. Have a nice February. I am going back to kenya for
>holidays and therefore I will be extremely rare in mashada.

Please be nice to your kids and do not punish them at whatever cost!!! have fun.
