Well first off, who created God? To me, I do not need to know this information. To me, since I am a believer, I shall listen to God. But as far as my opinion goes, God was not created. He is the creator. The Bible talks about things that we cannot understand because God created us that way(I did talk about this last post). Instead, God gave us the knowledge to make the choice, whether to believe or not to believe. With this being true, it is VERY possible that God was created and we just don't understand it.
But this is where my "preaching" stands out, but keep in mind, as a Brother in Christ, I do not mean to offend anyone. There are many many people trying to find the answers to life. How to travel at the speed of light, and how to communicate "psychopathically". Many of these are science based, but not all. Here is my stance. The Bible is God's word. It is a roadmap to live by. God commands certain things from us. God has given us the opportunity in which we seek. To find those answers to the questions I was speaking of, we must first receive salvation. Once we are welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven, we become knowledgable beyond the smartest scientist and engineers of today's standards. God gave the choice. God gave the way. God showed us that it is indeed possible through his son Jesus. Now, all we have to do is choose the option. It is more rough than choosing other wise. It will be difficult. But I assure you, my brothers and sisters through Jesus, that you will have a greater reward than choosing otherwise.
"Do we think in terms of words, sentences, pictures etc or are these simply what we get when we try to compile the abstract thought processes of our mind into something "meaningful" or tangible in the everyday sense?"
This, to me, is another one of the questions I was talking about earlier. I think we do not need to know this. Of what value is this? I do not mean to say that it is stupid and not worth asking, but this is just merely my own opinion.
So what it boils down to is this: Say I offer you a peacful and happy life, no pain, no death, just always happy and content, but all you have to do is live your current life a certain way. What would you do? Would you fully want the content and peace of the life I have offered, or go your own way and 'have your own fun' and eventually die? I believe this is the true choice. Who wouldn't want to live and meet the Creator and the one who loves us so? But ultimately, the choice is yours to make.
