heres the thing-God's character is supreme on every level-and His energy is the same as our energy in its original state-and altough the same ecstatic love that he feels is the same as we fell-His is diffrent only in quantity and not in quality

these quality's that make up divine love(God consioussness)are care-commpassion-tolerance-patience-understanding-nobility-honour-and the rest-these quality's IN FULL make up the devine love that people are talkin about-i think it was Jesus who said it__"if you have not found care,then you have not found love-if you have not found commpassion you have not found love- if you................"and these quality's of God exist in us-theyve always been there,we just have to know how to overcome illusion and ignorance and we can get back on track to the spiritual world where everything is made of this transendental spiritual bliss.


and although God has an unlimited amount of these energy's-we have the same but just a portion of that same energy and not the whole-God is the whole-everything in existence is just a mere portion of His eternal energy's.

so can we be like God-well we cant copy Him thats for sure-we'll never be able to hold reality toghether-we are limited in ways where He is not-but we can be like Him-we can be the same love that he is we just need to find a way on how to perfect these quality's-then perfection is just around the corner

care- for every child raped by a priest?

commpassion- for every infidel tortured to death in His name?

tolerance- for every doubter and questioner

patience- until you die

understanding- unless you think differently than his spokespeople

nobility- well, he does claim the bluest blood possible

honour- like saving murderers, damning people who won't submit, and reneging on prayer after prayer every single day


All of these characteristics are in His power... so why are they not exhibited? Is God incapable, or merely unwilling?

you just dont understand the laws of karma and reincarnation thats why people suffer -all our sufering and enjoyment on the material plane is due to or actions in previous lives and in this life-how else you gonna explain it-

the point of the OP was that underneath everybody-even all those spiritually asleep people who do nothin but cause harm have God inside their souls-they are just more asleep than others but we dont have to tolerate such behavior for that could be realy bad on society

you cant blame God on the crap that weve created-but He will love us no matter what-and from a distance if He has to-and i think you are basing your vision of Him on the missinterpreted butchered bible God-so your basing what you said on lies-and even you know that-your bad mouthing someone you know absolutly nothing about.you just see Him as this horible thing because of what you were told-i used to think He was all that too-but how can He be-thats the whole thing if you claim something about God that dosent fit His nature then it would have to be questioned wouldnt it-God is good mate and so are we-Him and us and all livimg entity's are apart of the Supreme whole-the absolute truth.

No, I couldn't be like god...He's much too judgmental and demanding to the point of obsession...I'm glad I don't believe he exists.

Sure we can be like God, just not in this life. After all, Christ commanded us to "Be perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect." He would never have asked the impossible of us.

We are "gods in embryo," the spirit sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father.

I don't have a sadistic streak in my body, why would I want to be like God?

And this while you make an inaccurate statement about one you do believe in. Talk about double standards.

Besides, why would anyone wish to be non-existent?
