Is it 'boring' being God?

Definitions:
Infinite
Greatlets say you could run infinitely fast (despite of course the impossibilities), but a friend of yours doesn't believe it, does that affect whether you can or can't? well at least I made my point This message has been edited by dorkfrommarn, 02-15-2006 06:27 AM

Is a kings greatness diminished because one of his subjects doesn't respect him? I still don't understand how that would work??? ????? wait, what does this have to do with pride????

I understand what you're saying, I'm just asking how it would make him non-infinite who said he would get angry? sorry if you understood me to say that

actually you didn't explain how it worked, you just sayed that by definition he wouldn't be infinite.I've never heard of great being refered to automatically as popular before. I am not talking about God being popular I am talking about God being powerful, filled with glory, that kind of great. popularity has nothing to do with Gods greatness. aaaaand? he will be angry when we disobey him, he is jealous when we worship* a peice of wood (tv, money, ...) because we should worship him. I really don't see how this pertains to your previous post though. And thats why God doesn't get hurt.in this case means "give your life to"*

whatever, its not even worth discussing we can disobey him because we have free will, he can stop us but he won't, its like the difference between a slave and someone who serves you because they love you. popularity has NOTHING to do with any aspect of a person, its how much you are liked. Glory is actually how amazing you are. Being glorious can help you to be popular but you can be a total moron and still be popular. popularity is opinion, glory is fact. no he would not (see above), he would be happier and so would we but it would not affect his glory in the least when we obey him we glorify him, he deserves to be glorified. Yes but God notices us more than we would notice that ant. just because we are ignorant doesn't mean he is he would not get hurt directly from any insult. but he would get mad at the fact that we are lying.

hehe, sorry you misunderstood me. When we glorify him we don't suply his glory. Basically we tell him he is glorious.yes, yes it is simple

whose shifting away? You hadn't actually asked up until now, you just kept saying that he wasn't infinitely great. Anyway, God's greatness is mainly: Love, Power, and Wisdom. Of course there are a bunch others but they're subcatagories.This message has been edited by dorkfrommarn, 02-17-2006 02:51 AM

Thats a good question. Since when you try to figure out why something "is". you go back to its begining. Since God didn't have one you can't. But it's always nice to have a perfect someone, so I would guess he makes his own purposes, Because who would be better suited?

you asked me to define the word great, not what Gods greatness contained being jealous and angry when you have a right to is not a sin just because he gives power to people does not mean that he does not have infinite power himself you cannot compare two ininites. can't and won't, there is a difference. how did he cheat. just because you wrestle with someone doesn't mean you use all your strength creating something that is imperfect and creating something that can choose to be imperfect are two very, very different things.as you can he is infinite in all these areas, like I said

First of all God is infinite in his wisdom, so who better to chose right from wrong. second, what God is using works when actually done. Perfect logic

I said WHEN, you have that right you can do it. Not, "Only God can do it and whenever he wants" actually this does change it, you said that he got angry, I said sometime people have a right to. I countered it. cannot, will not. He will not interfere with someone else's power if he bestowed it and they are keeping their part of the bargian if there was one. notice it says who he was a man here, and I don't see how using "magic" is cheating, especially when there are no rules. you cannot compare two infinites could you actually offer a legitimate argument instead of just contradicting me?

are you just gonna keep contradicting me and stop debating?

I know exactly what you think, I'm asking you to actually point out the flaws in my logic

like when we sin, God has a right then to get angry, It's called righteous anger. So do we in similar circumsances. yes you are right. In a lot of cases it is not helpful to get angry. yes what he will do is limited, so what? would you like a God that lied, cheated and so on? This however does not affect how large his greatness actually is, it just affects how he uses it. And he still has potential for "willful" greatness you cannot compare two infinites. tell me this. how could he create something that would love him truly (with free will) and be perfect in whole. He would have to create something the exact way he did us to even get love, and create robots for (moral) perfection. It is not his fault, but ours. Not his lack of wisdom, but ours. He had NOTHING to do with

NO!! have you seen how stupid people are??? If we chose what was right and wrong this world would be ten times worse than it already is! Thats why Jesus was sent. God knew that system wouldn't work so he made the modification we have nowThis message has been edited by dorkfrommarn, 02-17-2006 08:44 AM
