Yes. I'm aware of this understanding of God :)

Ok :)

Yes. Like I wrote, I was portraying a map and not the landscape. My words can't fully explain what God is.

I don't describe God by using a sex "Him". I don't have personal conversations with God through praying.

I depends on, how we understand God. When I define God as "Law of Life" (even though this is still only creating a map and not the landscape) I would say, we can experience God when we sense without focusing on a self. In an understanding of God as personal, I will also say we sense God, but...

Then, I guess, this is where our difference lie :)

I see the personal understanding of God as a mental idea. I don't feel a need for following such a mental idea.

Or are you simply saying you cannot profess to understand that which you do not possess? I don't know the word profess. Do you mean, that I can't claim to understand something I don't have?

I think there is a difference between knowledge (mind) and knowing (heart).

I guess my belief is based on focusing on where I am, instead of trying to base my life on an understanding I can't know. P.S.: Morning :) P.P.S.: I do not know, if God intervenes in life or how.

That is why I agree with the person, that a user that wants to promote another view of life than the Christian, shouldn't be using this forum :)

Yes, our language seems to be build on dividing between subject and objects. I find it difficult to express how "I" try to give up "myself". I would't mind if someone can help with this :)

Hi :) From the perspective of a person being here to promote other views of life than a Christian, I fully agree with your view.

Hi again Kim :) First of all, I used the phrase "Biblical God" because I was answering a message where that was used. Secondly, I do believe in God. Just not as separated and personal. My motivation for using the chat and forum on Christian Chat is to be inspired. I can explain that further if...

I will be happy to find the truth in the biblical God. It will make it easier for me to build relations with other Christians.

Thank you :)

A good question :) I will try to define it, but it isn't easy for me, and my words may be understood differently by others than what is my intention. I trust in a law of life, that makes me have peace when I'm able to give up the idea of having a self, because I trust that I then follow the...

Then the book must be these peoples source of authority and they can place trust in what is written in it. I don't have such a book I follow. Hopefully you understand my point.

I agree.. Regarding not losing sleep over it :D

I would say, that we should use the source we have trust in as the truth. Some believe the truth has been delivered to us in a book. (I haven't seen your message until now)
