kx000:
It occurs to me that you might be confusing the words "passive" and "non-violent". Passive means not active. Somebody who is passive just sits back and observes; they do not take action.
When you say your God is passive, do you actually mean your God does nothing, or that your God is non-violent?
I have been assuming you really mean "passive" when you write that, which implies that your God does nothing.
How do you know?
If your God doesn't do anything, how does his love manifest itself? How do you know about it?
No. Jesus can also be a purely destructive force as a best possible solution to temper demons.
Is Jesus passive, or active?
The Jesus of the bible was a
pacifist. He preached "turn the other cheek". Your Jesus doesn't sound like that. How did you learn about your version of Jesus?
And demons: I'm wondering why you believe there are demons. Have you seen a demon? Has a demon ever done anything in the world? How do you know a demon did it?
God is the eternal being that created this universe in the Big Bang and time.
Why did God stop being passive, in order to create the world, only to go back to being passive immediately afterwards?
You need both eternity, and time in reality.
I don't understand what you're talking about. Why do I need eternity and time? And isn't eternity just a very long time?
It’s on you to repent unless you are here and you only suffer
I'm here. I'm not so sure about the "only suffer" part.
But I don't need to repent. According to you, karma will sort me out, regardless of anything I do. Sin is not the problem when it comes to karma. And Jesus won't save me if I repent; I can't escape karma. Jesus is irrelevant in your theology, as far as I can see.
Thanks for your kind wishes. I hope you're happy, too.
God wills himself not to be omnipotent? Is that like pretending, or did God actually give up his omnipotence? Or was he never omnipotent in the first place?
Could he go back to being omnipotent if he willed it as such?
When did God stop being omnipotent? And - more importantly - why?
Then their is the angel of belief, which is why life is there and why spiritually is evolving.
Is the angel of belief separate from God? Did God create it?
What does the angel of belief do? Is it passive or active?
When your passive to belief it feels very good.
Do you mean it feels good to just believe stuff and not ask questions? Just sort of let the beliefs wash through you, and not worry too much about whether they are true or not?
I can understand why you might find that attractive, but it's not really something that's in my DNA.
Are you wise?
the whole thing is how I have belief in passive Jesus through the spoken word of God!
Jesus is passive, as well?
How and where did you hear the spoken word of God?
Is that what caused you to believe?
no you should thanks Mother Nature itself as a deity/angel.
You seem to have a lot of deities and angels in your religion. It sounds like you're closer to Hinduism than Christianity. You have a whole pantheon of supernatural beings.
Is Jesus essentially just one more angel to you? Nothing special?
Do you think Mother Nature is like a person? An angel? Where does Mother Nature sit in relation to God and Jesus and the devil and all the many other angels and demons you believe in?
I’ve always done it, since I was little. It gave me my word.
Your God gave you your word? What does that mean?
Can you tell me the story of how and when that happened? How did you know it was God?

Couldn't God have created the world so that there was no meat eating in it?

that would be spirit genocide
This is a new concept, to me. Can you please explain what spirit genocide means?
If God failed to create something, is that spirit genocide? If so, there must be a lot of it around.
The devil is in the grave.
Does that mean the devil is passive, too? Or dead? Or what?
If they aren't, then karma will get them.
Even though human are tempted into good and evil, then there are Angel mortals who go to war for humanity and they only suffer, and a man and angel will over whelm the dark forces as supreme mortals.
There are "angel mortals"?
Okay. Can you explain how the whole system works, for me? Here's what I have gathered so far:
At the top (?) of the ladder you have God, who does nothing, while also somehow being "Love itself".
Then there's Jesus, who also does nothing, except sometimes (?) being a purely destructive force against temper demons.
Below Jesus we have the temper demons. I'm not sure what they do.
At the same level (?) or below, we have numerous angels and other (?) demons. I'm not sure what they do.
One of the angels is Mother Nature (?). Or is that putting Nature too far down in the heirarchy? Because you also said Mother Nature is a deity. So maybe Mother Nature is at the same level as God. Or maybe above God, since Mother Nature isn't passive (?)
Below Mother Nature there are various spirits (?)
In line, somewhere, there are angel mortals. I'm not sure what they are.
I'm assuming that below the angel mortals (and other spirits?) there are human beings.
There's a devil (separate from the demons and angels, or is it a fallen angel?), but the devil is in the grave, so maybe harmless?
Now, God and Jesus are passive, and the devil is in his grave, so none of them actually do anything. The angel mortals go to war for humanity against ... who? the demons? Meanwhile the angels themselves do ... something? Watch, or wait for the angel mortals to do their thing, maybe? And eventually, the angel mortals will overwhelm the demons and humans will become supreme mortals. (What's a supreme mortal, and how is it different from a regular human or an angel?) And then what?
Meanwhile, karma cares about none of this business with God and Jesus and the angels and demons. Karma works with Mother Nature (?) and makes sure that everybody gets what's coming to them. Karma is oblivious to side battles between angel mortals and demons or devils, and so on, which makes all those battles essentially meaningless to human beings, who will be endlessly reincarnated in any case.
Am I understanding all this correctly?
