And so if I were to share with you something I have direct experience with you would believe me?

IS that an objective experience I can share in, or a subjective one available only to yourself?

This may sound trite, but it's the ultimate experience. Available to anyone who believes.

That's the rub of it though. One has to believe it first before God can put his spirit in you.

But before that can happen you have to get lost.

If anyone one of us were to become God, you would remain the same kind of person, in God form (with all the accompanying powers), you are not perfect, if you were, you wouldn't be you.

Can you address my comment please josephw.

Sorry. I'm suffering with a bad cold and should be in bed, and I get a bit confused sometimes.

God. What would be your characteristics, nature, attributes, or whatever?

The first thing I can think of is I would be perfect.

My first thoughts were "loving and merciful" but really, my main characteristic would be to be Obvious. No chatting with folks for 5K years and then disappearing and expecting subsequent generations to still believe. Also no fair making curiosity a part of the human make-up and then having a fit when they respond to temptation and eat a piece of fruit. No smiting the innocent. No letting people believe nonsense and reading more into death than what's there (i.e. "God must've taken her for a reason..."😉. I'd also show up every ten years and make the same announcement: "I love you. I'm sorry people do horrible things. It's your job to fix it. Stop praying for change and become the agent of change."

So, no then.

That would be true if I were to become God. But I didn't say that.
I said "if you were God" what would you be like? Not, what you be like if you "became" God.

Anyway, I started this thread with something else in mind, but I am having some difficulty finding the words to post it with.

I don't understand your reply.

"So, no then". What does that mean?

You could never be God and be perfect.
That is my point.

I believe you're probably right!

It means the answer to both my and your previous questions is 'no'
