Yes we can, and many of us have created god in our own image--but we CANNOT wield this created persona like a weapon against others, nor can we impose our values that we have accepted into others lives.
Oh, but so many try. So many little dictators in the world! Sigh..... So many who want you to jump when they say jump... or else!
No god exists outside the human mind, imo, and no one can prove otherwise.
God's bread comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. I am the bread of life. I'm the bread that comes down from heaven for a man to eat and never die. I myself am the living bread.
I came down from heaven to do the will of Him who sent me not my own. Anyone who chooses to do His will shall know about this teaching, namely, whether it comes from God or I am speaking on my own.
Anyone who speaks on his own seeks his own glory but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is truthful and there is no unrighteousness in him.
I am the proof there is a God. Be me and see. Follow the truth. Follow me and see.
What about God who wants and is worthy of praise, submission, reverence? That doesn't fit the man centered theology that you promote.
..and as far as the 'new' command...it's a summary of the law (ten commandments) that you despise. Judge not others for there reading comprehension...
It does fit, when we recognize all the gifts we have been given (though too many of us refuse to utilize these gifts) why wouldn't God be worthy of praise, submission and reverence?
I suppose the real stumbling block is what does one mean by submission?

I gotta wear shades when I read these posts--they are so"bright."

Chapter and post number?
If one has actually READ a few previous posts, I have never said I despise the Big 10==I do however GREATLY DESPISE how humanity has interpreted and used the Big 10 to manipulate and carry out genocide against other cultures.
I am not juding others comprehension, I m simply saying they LACK comprehension.
That's repeated on here daily by you and your colleagues of the same mind. Yet people believe. Do you have anything else to add of further value to the conversation?
Belief cannot be so easily explained away. Yes, we've heard the usual repetitive statements, people making up God to explain what they don't understand, people needing something to believe in, people being weak-minded or lacking in intelligence, we've heard it all before from the people who are you with a different name.
Yet people believe for reasons you cannot understand. And you are correct. We can't prove it to you.
Just because people believe a deity of some sort exists doesn't mean it does, especially as any supporting evidence is lacking. I was a 'born again' believer as a young person so I do understand the reasons, even if they aren't rational.
