You have visited many of my threads and I think this one is the brightest light God has used yet through my perspective. Read my replies as well. My confidence comes from a job well done and not the pride of incredulity. This truth has witnesses and I believe that the word 'proof' is in order as an evident axiom to challenge. Can you challenge the details with some context?
Sorry, EWR. You went so far down a rabbit hole that I couldn't possibly comprehend, much less follow and debate. But I'll say one thing for you, when you believe in something you go all out in defending that belief. If you put this much energy and conviction into some worldly endeavor you'd be unstoppable.edit on 7/15/2013 by jiggerj because: (no reason given)
Using words, even a beautiful collection of words, in an effort to 'understand' (or in your words, 'prove') God is an effort in futility. God cannot be proved, explained, or understood - only experienced.

All this proves is that an ancient culture can cleverly play with words. Much like many cultures do today and have done in the past. Infusing words or phrases with artificial depth in an attempt to give those words greater relevance and controlled understanding. Oh, and Alephbet is not the alphabet. Invented by an older culture and adopted by the Hebrew language.
In the modern day this would be called an elaborate advertisement.
The truth is that no human or human written book can know the "truth". Once again an individual has allowed belief -- and faith in that belief -- to delude themselves into thinking that their belief is the one and only truth. That their belief is right and the belief of everyone else is wrong. Arrogance? Sure. Good intentions? Sure. The "Truth"? No. Your truth is not mine.
Out of respect for your truth I am not going to try and convince you of mine.

DNA is information, is it not? It encodes biolgical information.

I think the problem is your audience may not be as educated in regards to the Bible or maybe how it relates to what you are saying.
We are taught one thing and you teach another.
Just like reincarnation...
The Christian religion does not hold this teaching.

OP, I suspect you won't hear what I'm trying to say here, but what is the point of this thread? I see a lot of (albeit well thought out) words about God, but they're all just words, all coming from the same book for that matter.
If God exists, he/she/it is by definition infinite, and infinity by definition cannot be contained.
Using words, even a beautiful collection of words, in an effort to 'understand' (or in your words, 'prove') God is an effort in futility. God cannot be proved, explained, or understood - only experienced.
Religious writings (of all types) are like a finger pointing at the moon. Focus on the finger, and you'll miss the moon.
Like you said earlier, I show what I see only. To me, theology is a box we build our version of God from. My idea has always been to open that box. There is a concept in quantum mechanics called quantum tunneling. No matter how you hide a particle in a confined space, it will always free itself. I think this applies directly to truth. Truth will not be held in a box. It must be free. The Bible says that if we seek diligently and knock on every door, the doors open. I am simply relating what I see. Also in physics, there is an idea of invariable symmetry. Neutrons and Protons adhere to this symmetry because they are the strong forces. They possess invariable symmetry. Electrons do not abide by this symmetry. The weak forces is free, just as our own free will is allowed to reign for a time. Eventually, we will be brought back into God's invariable symmetry. Gaining the Holy Spirit is comparable to this. The strong force in physics will always heel the electron. When we find truth, it must be the same no matter how its turned. To me, this is when we have found the highest axiom. It matters little to me what other theology boxes say. I need to fill my own.

Jesus was connected by the WORD (data-info).
Enoch probably does not agree with me here but I will tell you that I have always thought Hermes/Thoth is the same soul as Jesus. Hermes/Thoth-- holds/created the staff/word (DNA).

Information is what it implies. It is the collapsing of wave function inside. Comprehension is knowing what you know. With truth, it is already latent and written in us all. When the light hits what is there, the informed truth wakes to function. At least, this is my take on it. Plato stated this as well. Most of the early philosophers knew that truth was something we already possessed. It's obvious if you think about it. We are written as a unique story of words. We misread our own word, but God reads it accurately. What happens when he reads your word to you? I think that this life is a reflecting point for what comes next. The Bible makes it clear. We are babes in a womb. Children of God implies that we are growing to maturity.
Light implies many aspects if you define the use of this one word. You cannot see light. Light shows you what it hits. It's reflected and it needs a medium. That medium is matter. Consciousness works the same. Enlightenment is simply the truth informing within.
