What's God made of?

[JehovahsWitness]

If it's based on the bible, and you can't show that the claims in the bible are true, why promote it?

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

NOTE 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 ..."

Now, the thing is, that is rhetoric you can not show is true. You say that 'Truth will set you free', but what you have not been able to show is that your claims about God are Truth. You have not shown that the bible is true.

I didnt make any claims about God, I stated my BELIEFS about God. What part of the following statement is unclear...

NOTE 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 ..."

You have not shown that the bible is true.

Did I [say] I could ?

Is there a part of "belief" and "faith" that you are having trouble understanding?

NOTE All posts I write represent my personal faith based beliefs as one of Jehovah's Witnesses

Can't imagine how that might confuse some folks.

I am not here to debate your imagination nor discuss my motives. If there is something confusing in my POSTS I am happy to consider clarifying but any frustration that raise from the fact that I generally avoiding making claims in this subforum, especially when asked about the unknown, is not my concern.

I'm confused why you snipped off the part where I mentioned the promoting TRUTH(tm) by expressing unproven beliefs. By doing so the observer might be deprived of the full context, the full truth, of what it was, I was agetting at.

There is no rule that says anyone has to prove anything. If someone insists you must prove something, challenge them where is it a requirement on the forum that something needs to be proved.

There's also no rule against someone just up and proving something, whether or not asked to do so, within any section of this site.


I think this whole deal points out quite well some theists'll present claims / beliefs -unprovable claims / beliefs- in sections of the site where the less aware observer may confuse such as a claim of truth.

So, as is my wont, from time to time I like to point out that what some consider promoting TRUTH(tm), they might not be able to show it is.

And how so many theists are kinda stuck with their unproven beliefs in these debates, knowing those beliefs'll never stand up to even the least bit of scrutiny.

Agreed. Any other blatently obvious statements you would like to make or are you through telling me something I know already?

You assume we can apply reductionism to everything, like I told you in other threads, assumptions are never far away even for the atheist!

Notice that throughout our exchange my concern's been for the observer. Things ain't always just about you.

But, for you, so many of your religious beliefs can't be shown to be TRUTH(tm).

And for everyone, via my army training in commo, we shouldn't just assume that 'obvious' notions are so obvious to all.

The OP seeks to confirm from what's God made.

There's no requirement for reductionism, if that ain't the way to go.

As I'm telling you in this thread, that's an assumption on your part.

I believe they can otherwise I would not hold to them. Feel free to disagree.

God is made from God, you know, like the universe exists because the universe exists and something can pop into existence from nothing.

Let me rephrase to avoid causing any offense: Thank you so such for sharing that point, yes I am aware of that, but REMINDERS are always valuable and I will keep your point in mind.

Is there anything else you would like to add? If not, have a most excellent day,
