Defining God (Part 1)

Zarathustra Speaks Again! Re: Eddie Goombah's Conversation with a Deist. Atheists do not believe in deity. God as a subset of deity. The modern definition of the word God vs. the origins of the word God. This deist appears to worship soul. The origins of the word soul vs God.

I apologise for entering into a debate where confusion reigns.

[zthustra]

I'm sorry that you are so confused. Try researching the words of western religion as they were used in the original texts that were written in other languages long before any of the modern meanings had evolved and I imagine your confusion will clear up.

The word 'God' is a title.  The Creator names himself "Yahweh". The word 'Father' is also a title, not a name. It is given a capital letter because it identifies a 'persona'... ha ha ha. Einstein believed the idea of a personal god caused a great deal of trouble. He saw the mechanisms and could not know 'Beyond'.

[zthustra]

Thank for watching and commenting but I must disagree with your post.

God is not a title, it is a Goth verb meaning invoked or begotten. There were no capitol letters in the Goth alphabet when Ulfilas first used this verb as a proper name.

Jehovah is also a verb, but it is Hebrew for existing. Like the Goths, the early Hebrew text did not have such a thing as capitol letter. The verb was used as a proper name.

The word creator is not capitolized in the Bible.

I like the observation in 'The Kabalion' that THE ALL is. As He/She manifests himself, it results in the fact All exists within the mind of THE ALL. Everything...& I do mean everything...exists within him. This is pantheism, but without the worshipping of the individual entities of trees, etc, It is simply an awareness that "In Him, we live and move and have our being" . For me, the ALL is God, and the Elohim are but representatives.

Always enjoy your thoughtful, and in this case, poetic thoughts. Thanks for viewing.

Unfortunately, neither of us wrote the Old Testament, so our task is not to invent a meaning for the word 'elohiym but to discover what the author's intentions were.

Likewise, our task is not to invent a meaning for the word guda, later God, from the Goth, and later English, versions of the New Testament, but to discover the intended meaning of the word as used by Ulfilas and others at the time.

Do you perceive the Elohim as the angelic host of whom some are the fallen Nephilim?

[Brasik1]

Thanks for the negative complaints. But do you have anything of your own to add?

Psychiatry, for example, is the study of the brain rather than the mind (psychology) and neurology is, indeed, part of the physical world as is chemistry.

This debate needs to draw the lines that are present in all of human history and forego using the Satanic tool of confusion.

It may interest you to peek at the Vienna Circle, 1920, when the science of philosophy was bound from using metaphor or simile.

[Brasik1]

Who is your 'god'? A god is that which we obey; be it a mental construct, an overwhelming desire, a belief or a demand of the flesh or conscience. A god is that to which we humans obey. Like I said, 'god' is a title.

You will, naturally, percieve discordance if your harken to Ulfilas and neglect the evidence presented for all to see in several thousand years of human history.

I met a Satanist who made the same liguistic error when perceiving Satan as the Light Bearer.

Good luck.

Thank you very much for this video. I don't understand th(d)eists who say that God "by definition" is so-and-so or does so-and-so. But never give a definition. Easy for them, because, it saves them from a very difficult discussion. In fact it is reason that I, without a religious upbringing, became an agnostic believer. So I didn't know God existed or not. Later I became an atheist, when I read more. In fact the Bible is the first reason that I am an atheist.
