Interesting take. I approached the term is relation to its roots from the Greek word Pneuma (πνεῦμα), which was a word used to describe the wind and literally meant "breath", and was regularly translated as "spirit".

You assert that, but it seems doubtful that you can back that claim.

A person referring to something as spiritual does nothing to describe that something. All calling something spiritual actually does is affirm that the person trying to describe the something is ignorant to what that something really consists of or is and cannot actually see the thing they wish...

I guess I'm in the Matrix then. Why'd you come back in since you were chosen to be pulled out? It must be hard living in a world you know is not real and being forced to abide by it's constraints knowing full well a greater reality exists.

He has promised nothing. Men CLAIMING to speak for Him have put words in the very mouth of God. Interesting claim. I wonder whether your perception of this occurrence and the reality of such are one and the same. After all, the heart is deceitful above all things..........

Over the last decade or so I, and apparently millions of others have become fans of cinematic tales that bring us into a fictional universe like the Marvel or DC universes. I would be interested in seeing the Biblical universe brought to the big screen. There's so much material and it would make...

So you are further applying this verse to yourself and others today to make a case that Yah, Jehovah of Armies, the might one of ancient Israel, has exulted those who believe as you do above those that do not? In what ways does this exaltation differentiate parties? Should it affect rights...

It seems that the term spirit is at times more of a non-descriptive term than it is a descriptive one. I liken it to the scientific term 'dark energy' as they both are terms used to identify the unknown and they do not bring to light any properties of the thing(s) it identifies. An working...

Please demonstrate that such a thing exists. Define what it is and how you know as well. Thanks.

Nope, history has DEFINITELY not established that there are gods, let alone a one that corresponds to what is written in any holy book. The subjective information you ATTEMPT to inject laughably pokes holes in your assertion as the personal experiences tend to differ and even if they did not...

Actually, God would have to be above the boundary of law. He could cause calamity that no man could get away with causing. God is by no means the standard, but instead is depicted as the arbiter that has the priviledge of saying "do what I say, don't do what I do."

This, you did not do. You asserted your opinion that there is such but never did you supply proof to back your claim. We're not playing "because I said so" here.

Blind assertion. You have failed to demonstrate the difference or establish that there is in FACT one true god. You speak as if you've established this when you have NOT. Your one person in jail comparison fails miserably as well. It's not just one concept of god created by man that can be...

Stop moving the goalposts please. Do gods exist is not the question but rather where did God come from. It can be demonstrated that man's concepts of gods was in fact just as I described "dreamed up my men to fill in the knowledge and uncertainty gaps." There is no need to test ALL as ALL...

To further expound on this, I'd say: As I consider and try to dissect the God(s) that exist within the human minds, what the outside observer immediately sees is that each mind has a God concept that's ever so slightly different from other minds. This has been termed by some as Self Projection...

I want to make sure I've grasped your points accurately. - God is not a name, but rather a title like 'king', 'president', 'sheriff', etc., right? - The actual name of the god of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob is Yah aka (Yahweh translated to Jehovah). Is this right? - For those who are "truly Yah's...

You are equating the knowledge of sin with the fall as opposed to the fall being the disobedience to a direct command of God. What is the basis for you to come to such a conclusion? In the NT, it definitely says the enemy was a liar fro the beginning, but Ezekiel 28 doesn't mention the devil...

I said that gods were dreamed up my men to fill in the knowledge and uncertainty gaps and you somehow equate that with saying pottery exists without a potter. No sir, the two aren't NEARLY the same. First, I do not recall making an analogy in my statement above, so what are you talking about...

My honest answer is that i don't know, but I do have an opinion based on observations. I am of the idea that God came from the minds and imaginations of human beings looking for answers pertaining to existence, how nature works, and individual purpose. Over time concrete "god" concepts arose as...

The depiction above is not productive. There is rarely a time when rudeness or condescension is called for. In day time I have actually been on both sides of the conversation and I tried to make it a point to address the arguments as opposed to attacking the person making the arguments. As...
