It is most fascinating to see these ramblings about an imaginary being that has never really been shown to exist. It is such a shame to waste good intelligence on religious faith when there are so many roses to smell. I challenge any god out there to prove himself by striking me dead right now.

Welcome Happy Atheist and I enjoyed your interjection.

By the way, who do you find more entertaining, the Christians with a triune God or the Jews and Muslims with a single true God?

   Happy Go Lucky Athiest,  Hi.

   It is most fascinating to see these ramblings about an imaginary being that has never really been shown to exist. It is such a shame to waste good intelligence on religious faith when there are so many roses to smell. I challenge any god out there to prove himself by striking me dead right now. 

    Why do you exist? Why are you here on the earth?

   Funny Israfil.   Kidding aside for a moment, Happy Athiest (Free Thinker)

             If you survived that lightening bolt could you please explain something of why you are here in the world?

         Do you have a reason for your existence? I'd like to hear you tell us what that reason for you're being alive is.

I gave you a simple, direct reply in one paragraph. The first paragraph was your reply. The rest was picking up where I left off the first time. I already said I was going to say more on the topic. I'm sorry; I thought this was clear. Maybe I should have made two posts.

As for complication, the Only Begotten Son is part of the Trinity, Who is beyond human understanding. We can only receive what God's word tells us. However, the Trinity is not for doctrinal debate. The Triune God is for us to experience and enjoy. The steps God took in the Son were so that the mysterious, unapproachable, far-away God could become near, approachable, touchable, enjoyable.

The ocean is exceedingly vast and deep. No one can fully understand the ocean. Especially the deep. Even in modern times, every time the scientists go down to explore the deep, they see things that have never before been seen by human eyes. Yet though we are not able to fully know and understand the ocean, the ocean is very easy to experience and enjoy! We just go to the beach and jump in. The mysterious, deep ocean becomes touchable and experiencable.

This is the Triune God! It begins and continues with our calling on the name of the Son, Jesus. "Lord Jesus, I want to experience You!" We call the Son, the Spirit comes, He brings to us the Father. Who can understand that? Yet we can experience it!


Ah! The finite minds instead of understanding the Infinite God, are trying to understand God in a God-head.

That's nice and simple. Right?  Perhaps we don't even need this Moslem / non-Moslem Forum, the matter is so simple.

Wish it were that simple to believe.
