Is God a conscious being?

This is not a politicial question, but since most of you guys are theists I have a question. Is God a conscious being? Many of you guys like to pretend that God is a character that has emotions and ideas as us. But, how do you know that? I have seen people prove to me that the universe is created and that therefore there must be a creator. But, they never give me significant proof that their God is a conscious being nor did they give me proof that the creator of the universe is the biblical God.

Have sex

that image isn't accurate. the image on the shroud of turin is essentially a flatted-out 3 dimensional image of a man.

The universe is conscious. God is a Boogieman to impose social contract theory.

If you are a conscious being, then so is God. You cannot give what you haven't got. If you have personhood, it came from your creator.

>proof

Proof is all around you but you cannot see it without expanding your consciousness. The entire purpose of material reality is to forget God and then reform your consciousness to see him at every moment with love, then you are qualified to return to the realm of spirit.

Yes. Read the OT. God is speaking, he has a will.

i'd say read the new testement first. the words of christ have power, and some moments he speaks right to you. the old testament is long and isn't the core of christianity, that would be jesus/

What if god is actually the manifestation of our truly awakened brain? We wernt meant for these powers and its in a dormant part of the brain, but through cheat codes like meditation and sacrifice we can awake this part of the brain and harness its power

>The entire purpose of material reality is to forget God and then reform your consciousness to see him at every moment with love, then you are qualified to return to the realm of spirit.

For what reason would we have stopped seeing him with love as a spirit?

From what the 'good' NDE's say and have in common, is that they learn everything that happens here on earth is largely irrelevant, but just that there's one or two things that the person here has to learn, and we're given opportunities to learn it, but sometimes we reject that opportunity or die too soon to experience it, and so around we go for another round on earth.

Yes

God=love is a boomer conception. Before that God=truth. Eventually the trident/tryptch/Tao idea will reemerge where He is both.

God is not love God is order and truth.

God is everything and conscious beings are just vessels that it uses to haphazardly become partially aware of itself in an” demented illusion we call “life”. There is no afterlife because time itself and space are an illusion.

Imagine your in a chair, similar to a dentist or a doctors.

In this chair you have a mask attached and it giving you the gas that makes your reality shift.

This reality, this reality we are in right now what we perceive as real is actually that gas.

From the true reality we are a cosmic collective consciousness that is strapped to a cosmic chair viewing this reality.

The cosmic entities in the true reality manipulate our world through theirs.

Effectively there are 5th dimensional beings playing around in the 4th and 3rd dimensions.

Smoking dmt brings you back to the higher dimensions, where you are free to observe all of this going on temporarily.

Everyone who smokes DMT sees the same things, the message is always the same, ego doesn't matter, pure love is universal, everything is conscience.

For something like this to exist, regardless of belief you would have to wonder that at the root access level of the universe, at the highest dimension possible that the being who created everything isn't conscious just seems a bit silly.

god=love=truth

tell me how truth isn't love

Love is harmonic, the design is harmonious

>If you have personhood, it came from your creator.
The words: create, creator, creation are used by liars to bring their magic Jew god into the conversation. These words imply magic and are used as fake evidence to support the existence of a Jew god magician.

>I have seen people prove to me that the universe is created

Short answer is yes. Yahweh is the living god and is very much alive and working in this world to bring about his ultimate plan of completion for this world.

But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation. Jeremiah 10:10

wouldn't that then make what is harmonious a mode of love? ergo truth is inseparable from love as it is an expression of it?

Yes I think that is what Dante was getting at

God has no reason to feel emotions.
We feel emotions as a byproduct of evolution. Joy, Misery, Excitement, and the like were all necessary to our species surviving. You feel joy when you achieve something, for example, hunting an animal and killing it for food, hence you’re incentivized to do that to survive. You feel sadness when you’re not surviving well. Hence you’re encouraged to survive well.
Emotions are evolutionary methods of survival, Byproducts one might say.
So if god does exist, it’s safe to assume that he feels no emotions, as he wouldn’t have any need for them to survive.

God is the both the medium through which order, chaos, truth, and falsehood propagate, as well as the information and structures that you ascribe those and all names to.
God is the universal set.

Believe in Jesus Christ and read the bible, then you will get an understanding of who God is.

When you believe on Christ and trust in him for your salvation, you receive the Holy Spirit.

The bible was written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. So you essentially have the author of the bible living within you, and he will guide you toward all truth.

Without this you will not be able to understand scripture because it is spiritually discerned.

prove this, not just "trust me dude" or "it's what I feel"

God revealed himself through Jesus and saved us in the process.

God doesnt have free will as we know it. Everything he has wanted to do in our material plane he has done.

world doesn't seem saved yet

Asking for proof is a naive thing. How do we know that God is conscious? How do you know that you aren't dreaming right now? To even imagine that what we see is what's real, we have to make assumptions that aren't supported by evidence. A wise God would not reward people who only believe what there is "proof" for.

Well the Christian God is the most well attested and the most realistic God, so given that a Creator exists it's almost certainly the Christian God.

You're assuming that the physical isn't based off of the immaterial. by saying God has no emotion you're also saying he can't see because eyes are physical, he cant hear because the ears are physical, he can't smell, touch, taste, etc. because those are associated with the physical. You can even say God can't think because even that is based of the logic of the brain as much as emotions are.

>How do you know that you aren't dreaming right now?
The Cartesian Demon is a myth, what we perceive in front of us is reality, just in the way humans are able to contextualize it. We see what is in front of us, we can perceive an apple, and take in these stimuli to then identify it with consciousness. There is no in-between, there is no after-thought or dream like perception that is able to throw away our previous understandings of reality.

That's a belief that you maintain exclusively with faith. It's a belief that you have chosen. Suggesting that it's more valid than any other faith-based belief is contradictory.

God is love. He is a being of light that emits pure love with wisdom far beyond anything we can ever comprehend. To merely be in our lord’s presence is a blessing

God is aware and consciousness. He is beyond our understanding.

t. died twice

Yes his consciousness is the superset of all consciousness we can know about + all unknowable or unexperiencable types of existences we will never even comprehend.

>t. died twice
Go on.

No, consciousness is the interaction between various duality's and unknowings. Thought is a constant, we think as dialectic. God is all knowing, all pervading and all powerful. He is collective unconscious, unconscious, conscious - 'other' and reality himself. One could write an entire book on the various implications of Deity representation however one can for the time being accept it to be (given I have something to do); the intuitive awareness of a God as represented through and as mans knowing, his particular needs as limited to the spirit of the times/nation - and whatever current subsuming of the individual is present outwardly - as well as a possible genuine force of spirit.

This conscious God you're referring to is merely a metaphor. In fact, the Bible says you're not allowed to imagine God as a person

Nothing to really say. I've died twice and encountered God. I can't give you words, or explanations. It can only be experienced. Perhaps meditation or prayer can get someone there one day, I don't know. But it changed my outlook a lot.

He's one of those soccer mom types who goes "I died twice on the operating table O_O" when all it means is that they went into cardiac arrest.
