God is all-knowing.\nGod created everything.\nGod must love naivity because anything less than 'all-knowing' is naivity.

If God is all-knowing, then everything is exactly how he wants it to be. He then constructed everything to form a chain reaction of "freewill", the snowball effect of coincidences. He already knows the next time you will "sin" and that "sin" committed, was actually inspired by God to complete the bigger picture of creation.

This is my belief:\n\nWe are here so that God can experience God's self.\n\nGod is absolute. In this state there are no contradictions and no relativity. Everything is constant, absolute.\n\nThere are no temperature fluctuations, for instance. How would you know it's hot, if you never experienced cold? How would you know you're tall, if you never saw someone shorter than you? How would you know love if you never experienced hate or fear?\n\nGod knows what God is, but the knowing of a thing and the experiencing of it are two entirely different things. For example you know what icecream is, but experiencing the taste of it is different (and SO much better) than just intellectually knowing that it is frozen cream and sugar.\n\nGod created life as we know it so that God could experience God's self in the world of relativity through us, who are each an individuation of the whole.\n\nGod does not judge us for our actions...after this physical incarnation ends we will return to the spiritual dimension and decide if we want to stay or experience another physical incarnation. This is how we serve God.

nope, and nope\n\n   1. If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.\n   2. If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.\n   3. If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.\n   4. If God is morally perfect, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   5. Evil exists.\n   6. If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   7. Therefore, God doesn't exist.\n\nSo it seems kinda silly to die in the name of god, right?

Here's another noodle-baker.  If God is all powerful and all-benevolent, why is there evil in the world at all?  Either he is not all powerful (if he were he would have no evil) or else is not all-benevolent. (He could wipe out evil but chooses to allow evil things to happen anyways, something a loving and good God would not allow.)\nTake your pick, either way God is not all-perfect.

God is the alpha and he is the omega. No one knows how He was created and no one knows when He will end, just believe and you shall find the truth of God.

An entity as abstract as "God" will have many aspects, all perceived differently by different people. Each aspect is like a facet of a jewel, when it catches the light it glints and sparkles in its own unique way, it would almost be possible to believe that the facet WAS the jewel, and not just a tiny part of it. But, as you move along the jewel another facet catches the light, and another aspect surfaces. Anyway, my point is "God" can be one, and it can be many.

In the beginning there was God, but he was lonely, so he created the universe and everything in it, and he creatd us.  People who depend on him for everything.  Now he is our heavenly father.\nRead Genesis.

EXTREMELY LOGICAL\n\nif everythin is a work of god, then we are a mere product!!!!!!!!!!\n\nthe notion of god arises bcoz the universe seems like a design. \n\nGod defines everything....life is a bit more complicated than that;)\n\nthere is no denying the supernatural......but it shudnt be perceived superstitiously!\n\n\nhowever life is more of an expression....its more than just creator and created!!!\n\nwhen you say life is a creation ....then you are condensing the infinite possibilities and dimensions of life to one defined concept!\n\nits human nature to define complex matters in simple forms so that it can be comprehended by the human mind!!!\n\ninstead of transcending their minds which rely solely on intelligence, humans tend to boil down complex expressions to something that their minds can understand, to something that fits their intellect...\n\nbut i think the complexities of life are way too vast to be comprehended by the rational mind, through intelligence alone.....\n\nall those who comprehended life did that in a state of trans.....by transcending their senses and their rational mind through meditation....or through some creative methods....\nour mind and thoughts are made up of experiences born out of our 5 sensory organs...\nthere is more to life than what we perceive through our five senses....\nthe concept of god is easily perceived through the mind.....\n\nso how is it possible that a notion like "god" which is clearly defined......be the creator of everything that our minds can not even perceive??? \n\nso.......the secrets of life would always be beyond the comprehension of the rational mind.....\n\nwhat are mysteries but something that lies beyond the grasping potential of the mind.....\n\nbeauty transcends logic and rationality, therefore it takes you in a state of trans.....touching on the outer realm of the cosmic existence.....\n\nlife's mysteries and secrets can only be discovered by transcending our reason and rationality....in a state of trans....\n\nnot through any defined concepts like god...

For the Christian, God knows all. He knows what we will do and even think. But we don't. He has given us free will. So whatever decisions I make are new to me; I don't know the outcome, but God does.

Chew on this, it's a famous agument called "The Problem of Evil":\n\n   1. If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.\n   2. If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.\n   3. If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.\n   4. If God is morally perfect, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   5. Evil exists.\n   6. If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   7. Therefore, God doesn't exist.

congratulations for using your mind\n\n-------\n\nfirst of all, trinity is not understandable. There is only one God. not three in one God. \nIf God is the Father and also the Son, then He would then be the Father of Himself because He is His own Son. This is illogical!\n\n\n-------\nfurthermore, look and this verse of bible. \n\nMark 13:32 \n"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." \n\nIf Jesus and God are equal then they should be equal in knowledge. But as we can see, God is greater in knowledge than Jesus. The fact that one "personality" of God has knowledge not available to the other "two thirds" is a clear indication that they are distinct and separate beings, and not three faces of one being.\nAnd if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?\n\nSome say his human nature prevented him from knowing. Reasonably, though, if, as some believe, he was fully God, nothing could prevent him from knowing. How can human nature prevent God from knowing anything, particularly something of such import?  That further proves that Jesus was not all-powerful, because if he was all-powerful, then he would have power to know the final hour and to give himself this knowledge. \n\nFurthermore, if someone thinks that Jesus the man did not know, then he is missing a point that according to Christians, Jesus was 100% man and 100% God in one body. It means, Jesus possessed the same intellect of God and man.  If he had the same intellect then he should have same knowledge. But when we read the text it says only the father knows. This means that even the "DIVINE JESUS" doesn't know. This means that no one else knows including the divine Jesus. Therefore, Jesus lacks being All-knowing. and we know that God is All-knowing, hence, Jesus cannot be God. \n\n\n\n\n\nQuran (holy book of islam) says in chapter  4 verse 171 \n"Say not ‘Trinity’: desist: \nIt will be better for you for \nAllah is one God."\n[Al-Qur’an 4:171]\n\n \n\nQuran says in Surah Maidah chapter 5 verse 73\n"They do blaspheme who say\nGod is one of three\nIn a Trinity: for there is \nNo god except One God.\nIf they desist not\nFrom their word (of blasphemy),\nVerily a grievous penalty\nWill befall the blasphemers\nAmong them."\n\n=================\n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS

According to Christians, God is all-knowing - he knows all the past, all the present and all the future. If this is so, then God must know everything we do long before we do it. This means that our whole life must be predetermined and that we act not according to the free exercise of our wills but according to our predetermined natures. If we are predetermined to be good we will be good and if we are predetermined to be evil we will be evil. We will act not according to our will or choice but according to the way God has already foreseen we will act. Although Christians will insist that we do have free will, God's omniscience simply makes this logically impossible. And that people will act only as God determines is verified in the Bible \n\nIf people are evil it is because God has chosen to make them evil (Rom 1:24-28) and caused them to disobey him (Rom 11:32). If they do not understand God's message it is because he has made their minds dull (Rom 11:8) and caused them to be stubborn (Rom 9:18). God prevents the Gospel from being preached in certain areas (Act 16:6-7) and he fixes long before it will happen when a person will be born and when he or she will die (Act 17:26). Those who were going to be saved were chosen by God before the beginning of time (ii Tim 1:9 Eph 1:11). If a person has faith and is thereby saved, their faith comes from God, not from any effort on their part (Eph 2:9-10). One may ask "If a person can only do what God predetermines them to do, how can God hold them responsible for their actions?"

I'll check out the book you mentioned in the other thread but sounds a little too fundie for me. And sorry that you didn't like all the "mights" in my previous answer :)\n\nMonotheistic God = all knowing + all powerful\nIn some monotheist traditions the one God is all knowing/all powerful but not all. So Monotheistic God = all knowning +all powerful isn't always true and would be the first "might" in your own logic chain, might be all powerful might not.\n\nall knowing = knowledge of what you will do\nThe very fact that your using the word "will" implies that this one God who might be all powerful/knowing exists inside time. Our own studies have shown that the farther you are from a center of gravity, like the earth for instance, the slower time passes relative to someone nearer the center. So would this monotheistic god know what we "will" do or merely what we did? That is the second "might" in your logic chain.\n\nknowing what you will do = 0 choices\nThat is one way of looking at it, IF god exists inside time and IF he is really all knowning which isn't a must outside of the Judeo-Christian tradition (and isn't true across all groups within the tradition). Another way of looking at it is that knowing what you will do equates to already knowing what you chose to do. \n\n0 choices = 0 power\nThe power to choose? I'm not even sure what you mean here, the truth of the statement would seem to hinge on your definition of "power". Since power is a relative term it might be true if alot of other mights are met earlier in the process your laying out.\n\nomniscience = impotence\nWhat? Omniscience = knowledge of all things, whether real or apparent knowledge. = absolute power, not impotence. Or do you mean we're impotent? Impotent being the lack of strength to do anything?\n\nAre you a programmer by chance?\nHave you ever thought about the universe being one big program that is being compiled? The code was entered and is now being put together into a set form that was determined by the code? It sounds like what your describing, in which case we are all part of the program. Which means we dont' really need free will, we're doing exactly what we were meant to do. The reason there is a stigma attached to that kind of philosophy is that it justifies horrendous acts which are anti-social. Hitler for instance was doing just what he was supposed to, and so were Churchill and Roosevelt when they put him down. \n\nThat was a fun one to work through, I hope you got a little out of my answer. I honestly tried to answer it as best I could in the time taken.\n\nTake it easy,\nArmus

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.\nread this: http://www.toykeeper.net/philosophy/knowledge

I didn't see the question you're referring to, so I don't know what your question or your answer is.\n\nMy belief is that no one created God.  He is the Creator of all things.

well according to everyone--- god is everything... god created everything... but they tend to add the word good after the word everything... but some people call sin and lust a good feeling... but as much as I think he is... he probably just tags things that are lustful and sinful. But it's awful mean of him to tempt us into sins and lustful acts.\n\n"Lead me not to temptation, I can find it myself."

I believe in God  in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.  No one is all knowing like God.  But any child of God can pray and ask for wisdom, without doubting, and get some pretty good answers. My God is the "Know it all".  If God reveals something to someone, He or She knows something.
