The questions that God couldn’t answer

Original post at: http://www.unorule.com/god-questions/

Without going into real existence or not… assuming that God exists, it could not answer the following questions.

The problem arises because humans are finite and imperfect. The only way we can imagine God is infinite and perfect.

Easy for us. We delimit with infinite and relieves ourselves of worrying.

Actually,…

As an engineer and science-oriented, I have always defended the empiricism of our reality. What we see is what we get. My two traumatic experiences have made me rethink some ideas on what we call reality.

They are mere conjecture, for fun, but I find them interesting because each one would have a logical point in the impossibility of knowing the absolute…

Jesus, "Who do you say I am?"

WHO IS JESUS?

Rev. Douglas Taylor

"[Jesus] saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?" (Matthew 16:15).

The Lord addressed this question to the disciples two thousand years ago; but it is an ageless question. It is still relevant, and always will be. The answer we give to the question, "Who is Jesus?" has a profound effect upon our life in this world and to eternity. It is…

Why this depression? [ A question put to me by several devotees]

Let Me answer your question straight with a simple example

You have caught a hot iron rod with your hand and you are weeping

You are asking Me to remove the heat from the rod and give you happiness

For this you are constantly praying the Lord to use His special power.

I have to laugh at this situation because the easiest solution is to…

Spiritual Solution for Tensions and Anxiety

Realisation and repeated memorization of the true knowledge is the only one solution for this problem. The ignorance is responsible for all the anxiety and tensions. One should know that every one has climbed the time (Kala), which is the running train. Death is the station at which one has to get down. Then every one should face the Lord for the…

Toughness of spiritual path

The majority of the people will oppose the spiritual path preached by you. Only one in thousands can accept your path. Should you not be universal and preach the path acceptable to all the people?

=====================================

In spiritual path, majority always goes to hell. Gita says that one in thousands can only reach the God. Even that one person will reach the Lord after several…

God Experience

God should be understood as the unimaginable creator. Next, God can be understood as the unimaginable spectator of the world. Lastly, God should be understood as the unimaginable actor who has entered the Universal Drama in the form of the human incarnation.

In the first state, God is called as Brahman. The same God is called as Parabrahman before that first stage. In the second stage God is called as…

Idol Worship

The statue or photo is the inert object. The form carved in a stone or painted on a paper is also an imaginary form and not even a direct photo. The statues and photos are only models representing the concept, which is knowledge. The form of statues and photos is mainly human form, which represents the concept that the Lord always comes to this world in human form as said in Gita (Manusheem Tanu…

Temple and statue

Temple and statue are necessary for low level people as said in Sastra (Pratima Swalpa Buddhinaam). It is a teaching model for a school student. But for a college or university student it is not necessary. It is called as Pratika (Model). Veda says to meditate upon the Sun assuming Sun as the Lord. The Sun is not the Lord. The Lord is not in the Sun. Sun is only a servant…

Purpose of human life

In the materialistic plane one person says that the aim of his life is to achieve a particular post and then help his family members. Some other person says that the aim of his life is to serve the mankind. We appreciate the second aim as higher than the first one. The highest aim of the human life can be known only in the spiritual plane. The sole aim of this creation is pleasing God through the entertainment.…

First Cause - Did You Mean Cause or BEcause?

There is a very common misunderstanding that a "cause" is something that preceded in time.

A cause is a situation. "What causes a leaf to appear green?" "What is the cause for this big box not fitting into that small box?"

A situation can cause an effect of appearance, size, or arrangement and is the result of static logic. Or it CAN also cause a change in the situation, a temporal cause. Due to the situation, an imbalance yields a motion, a change.

Logical Proof of the Existence of God

Definitions;

A god == who/whatever absolutely determines what can or cannot be.

The God == Who/Whatever absolutely determines all that can or cannot be.

If such a power and characteristic is not essential to being a god, then in what way is anything a god???

If it is not God that is doing the determining, then whatever other idea you have for "God" would be subject to the determiner and could only do what that determiner allowed… Read More

Designing a Worthy Religion

I said “worthy religion” because if it isn’t worth doing, why bother? But what makes something worth doing? Many will argue the good and bad of just about anything and demand “proof” to the contrary of their opinion. Thus establishing any group effort becomes a serious issue and especially if it is called a “religion”.

But regardless of the impetus to disagree with anything and everything, we can still take a look at what is necessary and worthy concerning a “new… Read More

The Hebrew God

The God of gods

From all that I can ascertain from a great deal of very deep study for many years, the "God of gods" of the Hebrew referred to a concept of one all-encompassing Principle from which all else is derived.

The universe and all within obeys this one most high Principle above which there can be no other. All that happens everywhere throughout reality is subject to this one Principle. Nothing escapes it.

The Hebrew language could not… Read More

Star-date 2009.04.23 - Log Entry #1

Hi, am interested in God 2.0. I Stumbled Upon this site and thought I'd check out your community. I think groups like this are about 2 things - Relationships and Results. The result sounds like somehow reinventing the notion of God or at least seeing what the concept looks like when it is penetrated more deeply. In terms of relationships and becoming part of a new community and building a social network of some kind, I'm not sure exactly where to start but I'm willing to try. So I don't know… Read More
