Is God good?

What is the “back side” of your real situation?

I do not understand the question, but if I were to guess, I would say that it is always with me as, liker you, I live in a dualistic reality.

It is the same question you asked.

I do not word things that way, usually, and I do not recall doing so.
Get the quote to refresh my memory.

That or tell me what you think is my real situation is, again, so that I can see what you are talking about.

Your real situation is your God. You asked if God has a “back”.
So I am asking you if your real situation has a “back”.

The Mormons believe that all good things come from God.
To them, God the father is a huge power-source of infinite energy.
He uses it to bless our lives and create manifestations.
The earth was meant to contain much good.

If God can be seen as the force behind the creative evolution of all living beings and as the reclaimer into Itself of all It created , then God is good. The conservation of energy is the handiwork of a good God. But remember, God is a force, not a person. We crave the personal and so name forces that affect us. Those forces that affect us adversely we call evil. Those forces that affect us positively we call good. Both forces appear to be necessary in the creation and maintenance of worlds. But no souls are ever lost to evil.

Absolutely.

This explain what I think.

Further, I love and hare, just like Yahweh does, but I have better morals ands would not follow his lead.

That is why I am bound for the Christian hell, not that it exists.

Those who embrace genocide and infanticide will be with Yahweh.

It’s like Hitler having his own branch in heaven.

Statistically speaking, the world has never been so blessed with such a small amount of evil as compared to the huge amount of good that statistics say we are enjoying.

This is in spite of the vile mainstream homophobic and misogynous religions preaching against the law of the land.

They are traitors to their countries.

Sounds like a lie, but it may not be depending on your definition.

How can you know that as a fact?

Have you seen/found/talked with a soul?

I’m not going to watch a video - so if you have an argument for your real situation having a “back” then state it.

No lie. Yes, I have met some gentle souls. Mitakuye Oyasin.

Oops

I recognize my substance dualism. Do you?

In the original post in this thread, in the End Notes, I informed everyone that “God is my ever-present help.” Now I’ll elaborate on that, giving more details. In the course of doing this I will touch on topics of illumination, healing, and prosperity. In doing so, I’ll offer some affirmations. As I affirm them, during prayer, when I speak to this force called “God,” miracles occur in my life – at least I call them miracles …as God answers my prayers.

God, my ever-present help, fills me with light: I am guided in making wise decisions. And I am inspired …with ideas to write about. God fills me with life; I am restored and revitalized. God fills my life with abundant good. I am prosperous and successfull.

In general, God, my ever-present help, fills me with love. I am peaceful, joyfull, and confident.

In your own life, if you have a concern, call it to God’s attention. Be affirmative. Believe that God will help - in God’s own time. Ask God humbly. Pray, for example, “Come to me as Health.” Or draw on God’s infinite substance: be prosperous and live long!

What say you? Comments? Questions?

Well, it sounds like delusional garbage from one who has allowed his mind to damage itself with supernatural and stupid beliefs.

But hey, I believe you.

With you pipeline to god, why are millions of children still starving yearly?

Ask you phantom god to get to work.

Hi, DL

I’ll answer your question with a question for you: Why are millions of people having children for which they are not able to provide for adequately? Why do they do something that immoral? Is it that they do not know their Ethics?
The male could request a (possibly-reversible) vasectomy. The female could have her tubes tied. (Later they could be untied if she is ready to support her kids, as ell as give them the moral support of(hopefully) wise parenting, coming from either a two-parent family, or from an entire village. …as we see in North-Africa, or as Israel did in their Kibbutzim.

Or is it that the young girl who gives in to the boy’s advances, is ignorant? Or was she forced to submit? Or is she insecure because she is herself love-deprived - or any of a number of other reasons?
Does she live in a culture where birth-control is not available, or kept from being available because the men don’t recognize women’s rights? Why do the rest of us put up with that? Is it that we do not know our Ethics? Do WE have lousy values?

I have been telling you about a personal relationship I have with my Precious God. Tell me about yourself, DL: did you get a vasectomy so that you could enjoy a good climax? Or did you hook up with a woman who physiologically could no longer have children? Or did you have one child each year for 7-9 years in a row, as did a Roman Catholic family; and as did a Mormon family? I am personally acquainted with both families.

Hey there, DL

If you’re the greatest - and the name you have selected tells us that you are - then you ought to be a great reader, or at least a good reader.

You need to re-read the last paragraph of the Original Post – especially the second-to-the-last sentence!

Furthermore, I have not taken a stand on whether Intercessory Prayer works beyond one’s immediately-close loved ones, such as one’s ‘better half.’ I am open to learning the facts and the truth about this issue.

In a sense, our thoughts are prayers. So we need to be very fussy what thoughts we harbor. Many, who are vulnerable to psychological depression, cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought.
And, As Robert S. Hartman taught, in his writings and classes pessimists. in a sense, are “a little-bit sick,” since, by definition, they put a name that does not fit on things and situations. Thus they can call the thing “bad.” Dr. Hartman gives many examples and illustrations. If you speak of a slum as “adequate housing” then you are likely to find it to be “bad.” You could well judge that something is wrong with it. You are then a fault-finder.
But if you instead - as an optimist - as [someone who, by definition, puts a fitting name on things] - called the set of buildings “a good slum!” it would live up to its name, and thus indeed be good. The optimist finds things to be “good,” because he names them properly, and realistically. As the old saying has it, s/he calls a spade “a spade” …not “a rake” or a “broom.”

The point is that an optimist has a healthy mind; a pessimist not so much.

That children are hungry is a good problem to solve. Human beings caused it, not God. Let’s get busy in finding a good solution to this problem, and then implementing that solution. Let’s not focus on starvation but rather on how to eliminate it in the most-efficient manner possible!
Let’s begin by cleaning up our act here at home.

I believe that the U.N. is trying to fix this. But the amount that they try could have been far greater.
As far as i know.

I think the real question is ; “Is God. ?”

WHo says what is good?
