"IF" there was a God....

[Drich]

First off... I'm not the bit least angry at any god.
It is my understanding that all gods that humans worship or have worshiped in the past are, most likely, made up by some humans.

So, if any god does exist and does present itself for me to ask it whatever I want...

All of this stuff is in the bible here is what God says:

- What are you?

He told Moses "I am the alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end of all things."

This phrase demonstrates two primary things. God is the ultimate authority as He does not answer to anything higher than He, and "I am that I am" Means He is whom ever He wants to be. (No stupid paradoxes with that.)

- How did you come to be?

"coming to be" binds one to linear time. God existed before time began @ the point of creation. You see creation is the start point for all thing with in creation itself. God is outside of creation and thus does not need a start point.

- What is the meaning of life,

Choice. To choose where you wish to spend eternity. Either in service of God, or eternally separated From God.

the universe, and everything?

We are told by Christ that He goes to prepare a place for us, and that when we get to heaven we get job/task/responsiablities.

Keeping this in mind along with the fact that our time under God is infinite, and the universe is infinite, it will be the place where we work and live.

If we get to explore it in starships I call dibs on "enterprise."

- Did you create this Universe?

In the creation account we are told yes.

- If yes, did you create any other universes?

if by universe you mean dimension I say yes. Because Christ said His 'Kingdom' is not of this world, and revelations points to a 'new Heaven and a New earth' once we are done with the stuff that is to go on here.

- If yes, what are the differences between them?

Heaven, Earth, Hell I'm sure your aware of them

- Is the vacuum speed of light a real maximum speed for anything in this Universe?

lol, no. google 'black holes' and how they effect light/time.

- How do you make universes?

with a big bang!

- What is time?

Merrium Webster defines it as the measure of one moment to the next.

- What is your source of energy?

How do you know God works on energy?
If He did I would say love. As that is the primary focous we have been directed to share and preserve. Love God, and Love each other.

- Can you impart on me the ability to perform real magic?

If you had the ablity to do 'real magic' it cease being 'real magic.'

Think how babies are born. Is that magic? do you think you could do it without any of the elements we currently use, and consider common place?

- Are there any more like you?

There is only one God.

Finally, the greatest one:
- What do you think of the religions that humans have made up; and of all the ways they have managed to attempt to describe you?

Most of them do what they can, but few have heard how He describes Himself.

PS: can't wait to see if Drich can answer any of these on it's behalf....

The wait is over, now I can't wait to see what you do with these answers.

That is why we have been told to Ask, Seek and Knock. if one adhears to this process 'bad information' will works it's way out of the believers life. If one is lazy and simply and blindly seeks or follows a given denomination of belief because the thinks 'it is The One.' then he and his faith will fail.

But what if what you've just said is bad information?

1Thess 5:21. Question all things and hold on to what is good. Keep Asking Keep Seeking and Keep Knocking, and find out for yourself.

Sin is not the road map to Christianity. Sin is the only important in so far as to indicate the need for repentance and salvation.

You're missing the point. There are many disagreements among all of the "Christ centered interpretations," so each one can't be true. I feel, however, there is a different point you're trying to make but just haven't communicated it properly.

None of us has it absolutely right. Look at the parable of the talents mat 25 starting at verse 14.

Christ only expects us to be responsiable to what we are given/given over to understand. So in a sense. All version of Jesus Christ Christianity are indeed 'right' for a time, but as you grow spiritually you will start to see the chinks in a given religions doctrine, so you are expected to A/S/K and find another stepping stone to learn from, and on and on till you develop a truly personal relationship with God. Where you can take your 'stuff' to God and He will resolve personally with you. When one gets there is is expected to turn and teach others how to get where he is at.

The problem with most of you guys as you began to spiritually mature and saw the chinks in your childhood religions, you turn and ran from it because you are under the impression that only one version of Christianity can possiably be right. Just think about that for a second. The Same God that established Christianity established Judaism. The difference? Judaism is packed with rules, to the point where there is no question in who or what a OT jew is. If God wanted one 'right' version of Christianity then why didn't He give us the rules???

Answer: Because it is not about the rules anymore.. In so far as how to get it 'right.' The rules are only there to show us we all have it completely wrong all of the time. (Even me.) So we are to give up, and seek attonement. with attonement we only have these three principles: Love God with all your being, Love your neighbor as yourself. Do the best you can with what you have been given, and God will give you more.

That is it, that is all. Everything falls under those three principles, and even the third falls under the first two, but I thought it bears repeating.
