Since most who come to this forum are unbelievers in God who created the heavens and the earth, and you reject the God of the Bible, I would like to see these folk answer the following questions: (1) What kind of God would you be if you could be God? (2) What kind of cosmos would you have created?

If you were God, what kind of God would you be?
So far, just as I expected, one personal attack and no serious answers. Would anyone like to take the inquiry seriously, or are the questions too difficult to give some serious thought to?

Re: If you were God, what kind of God would you be?
But, my question to you is what you expect people to respond with?
I had no expectations. That's why I asked the questions. Most unbelievers this forum are willing to give response after response as to why they reject belief in God and believers are willing to offer reasons why we believe in God, but unbelievers seem to be unwilling to offer serious responses as to what kind of God they would be and what they would do. I was genuinely interested in finding out if anyone on this forum "could" take the inquiry seriously, and put some thought into what kind of God they would be and what kind of cosmos they would create if they could be God. Then we can discuss the pros and cons of the God you would like to be and what you would like to create. Edited by John 10:10, : added last sentence

Re: If you were God, what kind of God would you be?
Percy, What unbelievers are really saying is that they are UNWILLING to seriously consider what it would be like to be God because they don't want there to be a God, and they don't want to look foolish trying to explain how they could be a better God than the ONE revealed in the Bible. I fully understand that for them "no God is a reality,"
in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God (2 Cor 4:4).
I do not care to modify my questions. They have fully answered my questions. You may now close this topic thread. Blessings

One final thought on the god that most at the EVC Froum have chosen to be.
Our great apostasy seems to consist primarily in making a god of self; and he is the most valuable friend who will draw us most from self-seeking -- self-pleasing -- and self-dependence, and help us to restore to God the authority we have robbed Him of.

Isa 45:5-7 (NAS) "I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known Me; that men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no one besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these." Psa 18:24-27 (NAS) Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes. With the kind You show Yourself kind; with the blameless You show Yourself blameless; with the pure You show Yourself pure, and with the crooked You show Yourself astute. For You save an afflicted people, but haughty eyes You abase..
