DESTROY NOAH'S ARK

[Chad32]

Can u define a god?

God simply means "object of worship" which is why in the beginning, God was not "God" but was called "Elohim" or self existing one. As far as definition goes, I would have a much better chance at defining the universe than God (Is the creation greater than the creator?). Which is why I choose to accept it by faith.

I don't understand why the word "faith" so irksome to so many of you when you yourselves acknowledge that you can provide no answers.

convinced me. Now how do we get from deism (universe created by a deity), to your god? Unless you are a deist yourself.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Science has provided many answers that religious texts have not. The very origin of the universe is one of the few places to put a deity, because science doesn't have every single answer yet.

Well, the believe that the universe was divinely created is deism. I suppose you're a theist, meaning you believe your god still interacts with this world and wants its people to worship it. Have a relationship with it. That's still a pretty big stretch from deism. A deist may believe that a god created the universe, then just sat back and watched. He doesn't make ultimatums or commandments or anything. You mentioned Elohim, who was the leader of a pantheon of Canaanite gods. Another member of the pantheon was Yahweh. Tou think the creator is one of these? Or you think Zeus, Odin, Osiris, and such are just different names for the same guy?
