No, of course not.
What's gobbly gook about it? You don't believe there is anything spiritual? You don't believe there is anything material? You don't believe there is anything ideal?
If you believe that what I am saying is gnostic or pagan, you don't understand gnosticism or paganism.
It is philosophical.
I am full of life and purpose, but American Christianity seems to be dying all around me.
Have you noticed in wotan's philosophy that he is god and God is dependent upon man for His very existence. I noticed that the Bible specifically says that wotan has it 100% backwards.
Of course, I am intimately acquainted with the only True reality that He is and in Him we move and breathe and have our being, just like Acts 17 says. I'm sure that any saint who knows Christ Jesus personally understands this. Right!
CC,
(1) I don't believe that I am God and I never said I was God.
(2) I don't believe that God is dependent on man for his existence, and I never said that he was.
(3) I am genuinely puzzled how you could make such false assertions.
I guess it is a matter of what the defination of is .....is??
Now I know who "I AM" is :>)....
All that is includes you, me, the dog next door, telephone poles, etc., everything, without limit. I am an infinitesimal part of it, as are you.
Therefore, I am not God and you are not God, etc., and God's existence does not depend on any of us. When we die, God endures. My death will be only an infinitesimal change in God.
You are jumping to conclusions rather than trying to undestand what I am saying.
If Barry Bonds were in a room with all members of the San Francisco Giants and said "I define the San Francisco Giants to be all the people in this room", would you then conclude that Barry Bonds thinks he's the San Francisco Giants? That is exactly the kind of non-logic you are applying.
No, you have already called what I said about God as false. Part of it is the fact that in Him we move and breathe and have our being. Therefore, I read what you posted along with what you have already rejected.
