Late edit to clean quotes...

From Post 182 here:

God is not made of matter...

For debate:

What's God made of?

[mgb]

Okay... So how do we go from claims about burden of proof to actual proof of probable existence?

There's no proof that God does/does not exist so the only burden is to provide coherent, reasonable arguments.

You made the statement that 'God is made from spirit'....

No I did not, I said...

The bible* indicates God has a spirit body.

* I am ONLY mentioning the bible to show what Christianity says in line with subforum guidelines, not to prove that a statement or story therein is true. ​I am not presenting the bible as authorative or proof of truth and have no intention to add an argument to that end in this subforum See LINKS for details: viewtopic.php?p=213491#p213491

Do you think the bible is correct? Can you describe what 'A spriit body is" . What is spirit made from?

Firstly may I point out that I make no claims here, I am simply expressing what I believe based on the bible. Please take all sentences to be preceeded by the premise "I believe ..."

• Do you think the bible is correct? Yes, it is my faith based belief that the bible is correct.

• Can you describe what 'A spriit body is" ? Scripturally, all the information we have is that a spirit body is a non-physical body of the type God has which is invisible to humans.

• What is spirit made from? I have no idea.

Snippings've been snipped...

Do you think the bible is correct? Yes, it is my faith based belief that the bible is correct.

It's my faith based belief it ain't.

Offsetting claims based purely on belief.

How might we get around this impasse?

What is spirit made from? I have no idea.

Sorry OP, no cookies for you.

So, if god is made from spirit, and you have no idea what spirit is, how do you know spirit exists at all, or how do you know that God exists at all? is there something that you can show me, are is it all 'because I feel it' (i.e. an emotional response)', or 'someone told me' (I.e. someone told me to read the bible'

I dont know I believe; I believe I know based on the bible and my personal experiences.

... is there something that you can show me ... [?]

Other than the universe and scripture? No. If the world around you and everything in it isnt enough, there is nothing more I can do, no.

ROMANS 1 :19, 20 NWT

... what may be known about God is clearly evident among them, for God made it clear to them. For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable

If it's based on the bible, and you can't show that the claims in the bible are true, why promote it? I mean, it IS Jehovah Witnesses dogma to witness, yet if you can't show that your claims are true, why promote it? You based it on the claims of the bible, yet you show you do not know what is meant by those claims.

You use a claim for God, that he is made of spirit, then you can not even properly define what spirit is, nor show that spirit exists. I am evidence driven, and that kind of pattern is not convincing to me.

Because it would be selfish of me not to promoted the TRUTH.

I dont recall asking you anything about yourself nor do I have any recollection of saying I was trying to convinced you of anything.

Still thanks for sharing.

You claim to promote TRUTH(tm), yet you're utterly incapable of showing you speak it in this matter.


Ain't that kinda what some call "Lying for Jesus"?
