Yet it appears as if you've given every attribute there is to God; His and ours which oppose His. That leaves nothing left for satan. Where does he play apart in this. If you say he doesn't, I would agree, because as I've already pointed out, nothing except God can exist, including the "devil".
Guess who's dreaming and having nightmares? God's children, including myself. Wake up oh sleepers, rise from the "dead" and Christ will shine on us.
I don't have any more time at present. I was very happy and thankful to hear your recent physical challenges have gone well. I'm confident we both agree that without your faith and love for God, this would have been a much, much more worrisome time for
I have responded on another of your post so I will not reiterate. You can always study what is called the simplicity of God or His aseity for a better explanation that I can give here. Also, I have not said that God is all those things you enumerated in this post.
I do believe that God is loving, pure, holy, good, merciful, and every honorable positive attribute we could use to describe Him. But Scripture does reveal that God is just, wrathful, jealous, vengeful, and many other attributes that we would consider negative (but in God these are wholly righteous and untainted by sinfulness). Describing God by way of attributes He has revealed to mankind is not attesting that He is a composite being. He is completely unified in His Being without shadow or turning. He does not change when He acts in history in mercy and then acts in history with wrath. He is Sovereign and His will is perfectly carried out according to His perfect nature.
A.W. Pink wrote a good book called "The Attributes of God". Perhaps you can read this to help you understand what I am saying.
As you said, there are many on this site who speak the same teachings I do. But most of all, reading the Bible comprehensively will give anyone knowledge of who God is in His essence and what He is like in His actions towards mankind , angels, and all creation.
Have a good evening, again. And thank you for your kind thoughts towards me concerning my health. Got my stitches out of my hand from my carpal tunnel surgery. So, have a few more weeks of light duty and then I can begin using my hand more strongly. I am so thankful I am breathing so well now. There are many prayer request that come to this site. I encourage people to be prayerful for those who come here. We can be used this way to bring about many great things from God, who doesn't need us to accomplish anything, but chooses to. We are privileged to be used of Him for His glory.
The idea of you beating up on me has never entered my mind. As usual, you are and have always showed kindness and respect to those you comment to. You should never have to think any apologies are in order. I respect you for being solid in your faith.
I would briefly like to add though that I don't adhere to any beliefs regarding God as an energy, life force, consciousness of the the universe. By it's own definition, energy involves an exchange. I believe God is changeless. You probably know more about New Age stuff than I do, as I haven't read up on much as such. I've read very little about Hinduism, especially recently, so I certainly have not purposely based my beliefs on it. Yet in my limited exposure to various "religious" systems I have noticed they all have some things in common with each other, including Christianity.
I don't consider your dialogue as argumentative either. You are obviously genuine and caring as I can feel that from you. In no way do I sense either of us as wanting harm to come to each other. In this we can both be at peace.
God bless you GiGi, and thank you for your concerns.

Thanks so much for understanding where I'm coming from. That means a lot to me. We are helping each other grow!
