3 - What Do We Mean By “god?”

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. 

The deeper one penetrates into nature's secrets, the greater becomes one's respect for God.  - Albert Einstein
In this post:

What is the Scriptural God?

What are the alternatives
to the Scriptural God?

  1. Hi Art: Still have a problem connecting via my laptop so sending from my phone.
    Have to agree that there is a creator whom I call God. The Scriptures have only existed for a short time compared to the age of the èarth which is billions of years old . Therefore what explains cavemen,dinasaurs,evolution & great Monoliths? While I have trouble believing in the Big Bang simply from a void I prefer to believe in the Scriptures & in God.
    According to scientific theory the universe is expanding outward but where to? In all directions into an infinite void? Are there other universes with other lifeforms with more or less intelligence and physical attributes? It raises more questions than answers. Scientists develop theories but rely on proof. These mysteries may never be proven.
    Maybe it's God's plan not to reveal Himself. Maybe it is a test of our Faith. I happen to choose Faith in the Scriptures
    Regards,
    Bill
