He will grow smarter of course but that it takes time.
The same thing goes for human beings before they emancipated to God level.
They will grow smarter and smarter like God but that takes time.
I guess you never thought about that Em, did you?
(color mine)
Do you picture God as being perfectly rational then (ie non-emotional)? Or do you picture God as being like a Buddha in perpetual meditation... at total peace and free from all attachment? To be clear I was referring to the Christian religion when I said what you highlighted. You seem to defend all versions of God, regardless of religion... do you see them as one and the same? Because if you do mean something like the second, then the Christian God offers nothing towards that; just a bunch of orders but no guidance as to how to carry it out... 'love your enemy' yet throughout history they go and kill all their enemies. At least with Buddhism and suchlike there is clear and logical guidance on how to achieve the peace of non-attachment. So I can't see how you can see them as the same?
I do not follow religions.
I instead follow logic.
We do not know who wrote the Bible.
Certainly not the Christian that came much later.
I am not an expert in Bible so I can not say whether what is written in the Bible is all truth all rubbish or some is true and some is rubbish in any case I take what make sense as good and what doesn't as bad.
That sentence that say.........Man created in God's image.......make a lot of sense that is why I explained to you my point.
