That analogy would work except that God is not 3 dimensional. He is not seen because he is everywhere. He encompasses all things. God has no dimension.
So I don't think that analogy works very well.

Smile What's to understand

These are the writings of man, not God.

I wrote once that my mother was God....so she is God...and that is it...so put that in your Bible and smoke it.......

Bible, Qarah, Torah, Huckleberry Finn...nothing more than the written words of man...and mostly as truthful as the whiteman's treaties with Indians........lies are man's way of communicting.....truth is Gods.....aho

A very interesting and mind bending film to say the least. You see i am a student of quantum theory as well as world religion and philosophy, and after years of studying quantum theory my belief that Jesus is in fact an aspect of deity only strengthened.

God is three dimensional if he is in fact Christ, but he is also hyper-dimenional and exists throughout all the 13 dimensions (or however many dimensions there actually are) some hypothesize today ...

The father is seen, as Christ said, "when you see me you see the father". And as it is elsewhere written, Jesus Christ is "the express image of the invisible deity" ...

Right, it is pretty interesting to try and imagine something that God hasn't revealed to us. Or to think, what if God decided to make something else instead of gravity, or space. It would have been entirely possible for him to make it that way, but it's just impossible to contemplate such a thing. It does help you take a step back and see how strange the world is.

Secondly, I never said I was intolerant, but was called that. And thirdly, I am privvy to my faith, as is billions of other Christinas in the world who worship Christ...or are they all in error as you proclaim?

I think not.
And I was agreeing with the statement that you are intolerant in the sense that you are close-minded to all but what you perceive as the truth and it shows.
I did not mean to imply that you claimed to be intolerant.. that would be silly for you to do.

Yes, IMO all who worship Christ rather than God are in error. I find nothing wrong with worshiping Christ as lord or king.. but in place of God is an error. God is the supreme being and Christ is subject to him.
I don't think the past thread would help your case since you did the same thing then as you are doing now..dismissing my posts and attacking me personally... But feel free to repost your answers. It would be simpler to just answer the pertinent points or questions in my post. I don't expect an essay.

Indeed, it it also helps to try and keep an open mind and admit that we might be wrong. Which i freely admit that i might be ...

God bless ...

Yes, but nowhere does it correctly say that he is God. It should have been pretty easy to write that correct?

And once again, if it was true, then why didn't Paul write several letters to the Jews explaining that there God is, in fact, not simply the father as they understood it. He spent quite a bit of his time explaining why the law was now fulfilled, don't you think it would have taken at least a couple of chapters to fill them in on God?

So you are counting the spirit of God as a "dimension?"

Didn't God pour out his spirit on all men? Wasn't that part of the New Covenant? So then in that respect we would all be 3 dimensional..

I enjoyed watching "what the bleep do we know," and I find quantum physics fascinating but I guess I don't understand your use of dimension...
