How could God fail to convey His message?

Post by bahman »

Just look at the number of religions and the branches within each religion to find out how scattered peoples are when it to religion. How could an Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent God fail to convey His/Her/Its message?

Have you considered the possibility that God did it on purpose to cause conflict in the world? If we were made in his image, that means he is like us. Well we like to cause conflict, don't we?

That is what an Evil God does. Neutral God does not care. I am asking this to those people who think that God is good.

Is that what understand from His image? I have been always wondering what the image of God means.

The image of God can only mean an image of the imageless.

Because to be able to speak about an image, is to know an image, it is to be able to point to an actual object and tell yourself you are pointing at an actual image separate from the one who is looking at the image.

The trouble is, can you point to the image of God as an object / image known?

Can the image of God show up, be known as an object/image?

If the answer is yes, you can point to God as an image known, then everything you point to as an object of looking will be known as God.

The problem is, any known object has already been stamped with it's own conceptual label ....every thing known to exist has a concept/label attached to it...has it not?

Now all you have to do, is see if you can point to God as an object known?..do you see a problem there?


Does that make sense bahman?
