The two are the same.

No it's not, because "God" means different things to different people. That means "God" is whatever people believe God is, not necessarily what, or even if God is.

I gave was as detailed as could be possible - and it was God's defintion of himself

In your mind. You have no proof that that is God's definition of himself. It's what you and some people choose to believe. Other people believe something else, and they believe their faith is the true faith just as I presume you do about yours. That doesn't make it true.

If you said "I believe God is such and such" that would be one thing, but to make it a matter of fact is another. But then I didn't ask what you believe God is; rather, I asked what is God (what is divine), and you told me what you believe God is.

I don't doubt or have problems with your faith. But you seem to think that just because you believe something it must be true.

"I don't doubt or have problems with your faith. But you seem to think that just because you believe something it must be true."

And you are agruing that because others don't believe it, it can't be true. If someone chooses not to believe 2+2=4 that doesn't make it false. You can't "prove" the entire creation wasn't created 5 minutes ago with everyone's memories created as the now are. That doesn't mean I have to accept this could be true. We can't "prove" any of the basic axioms of logic or the basic axioms of Euclidian geometry. But we accept them as true. There is fixed truth, whether one chooses to accept it is up to them. And they suffer the benefits and consequences of their decision.

Selected Projective Solipcism.

As Calvin said, "I declare you Null and Void."

Cheers!
