What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?
What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?

Or perhaps becoming diluted? Additionally, the universe if finite. Does that mean that God is finite. More silly conclusion can be drawn from a too-simplistic view: for example, is a portion of God in my coffee cup and the rest of him outside of it? No, God does not occupy space and is therefore not literally everywhere. I believe he is cognizant of and causally active at every point in space..

How nice you hold that belief, Steve. But a word means what it means, regardless of what you need it to mean in order to reconcile the obviously absurd (even to you) notion of omnipresence asserted by your holy book.

"Justified rational belief, or justifying your belief through rationalizations."

I don't remember who said this earlier on in the thread, but it is perfectly fitting...


Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
