Is God Addicted to glory?

Any thoughts?

I had considered using "dependent" in its place but I perferred the implications held by "addicted"

But where does this propensity towards glory come from? Could an addiction serve as an answer?

Don't waste your time. First prove there is a God and then discuss whether he digs glory or not.

First, prove YOU exist.

question--why would those who are already saved need a constant visible reminder?? Wouldnt you think that finding yourself in heaven would serve as enough of a reminder?? I certainly would think so....and besides, at that point, once you've already been called to Heaven, why would any reminder be needed, since those who are called to heaven are there for eternity? It isnt like God would call one to heaven, only to evict that person three years from now....so at that point, such a reminder is pointless.

When I can sit through a magic card trick hosted my my youngest, and it fails, yet I tell her she picked the right card, I indeed exist.

lol, oh I liked this one.

It all depends on how you want to look at it. If you want to go only by how things are, he's quite "assertive" in his requests from people.

Worship or you're screwed.

The perk to this? You get tons of benefits once you get with his in-crowd. Salvation and happiness seem to be in high demand these days, but it's one of those limited-time offer deals like on TV.

Finally, if you're one of those actiony types, you get a choice of checking out the HD live coverage or being front and center for God's Beatdown Block Party. I think it airs somewhere around the end of the world, and everybody who's anybody is going to be there to see this one. That kid Lucifer's had a beatdown coming for awhile now since that whole incident in Heaven, and God's so pissed that any one of his creations who don't rep his squad is going to catch that fire. Guess he was waiting to get the best of the best of his creations as backup.

God is like the ORIGINAL O.G., after busting his ass those 6 days he considers himself to have "paid the cost to be the boss".

Soooo, worship or you're screwed basically... lol, not much said here that differs from my original statement.

lol, but once you've passed the initiation and get in with the 'G-Unit' everything's awesome. Not like the entire time you're in Heaven you'd be suffering, otherwise what would be the difference between it and Hell?

Everyone's got their own version of afterlife rewards, be it chillin' on streets paved with gold/40 virgins/fighting the greatest heroes ever the entire day before coming back to life for partying at night. G-man looks out for his crew


lol, most likely just one. Only really can stand watching two episodes these days before I start to wonder why FOX keeps that show around.

Shame you can't appreciate my humor, however

Just figured I'd put the whole thing in an easier to understand context, since I know a lot of people get tired of the whole "insta-post bible quote" bit.

And I suppose 'secular' would be the best way to describe myself. Wouldn't go so far as to call myself part of the laity, but I'm not nor will ever be a clergyman.

Sure, it means tons to me Mark. Hence why I brought up different versions.

Thanks for adding in another, though I'd have to say the personal criticisms at the end were a tad much. :P

This is the problem with Hell. To my knowledge, there is no explanation for it, only unsatisfactory speculations.

I’ve given this answer some thought. From an argumentative perspective, I’m not terribly partial to it, though from a spiritual one, I wonder. Is it fair to label God with purely humanistic qualities? Perhaps not…

Yeah, that's a good point. Thought to say that he couldn't have such qualities would be limiting what he's capable of.

Example: We describe him as a vengeful God at times, and vengence is definitely something a human can be capable of. Maybe not to the same scale that God's been known to clean shop, but it only takes a bit of creativity to acheive similar results.

If you decide to spin it around that far, that is.

That is because many people look upon things from a decidedly human perspective. Let's face it--there was not one single human trait until God created it as such, therefore, to be accurate, we must realize that things like "vengeful" came from God long before they were human traits.

Exactly the lesson I pointed out to you recently and that you ignored....too bad you're so full of yourself that you cannot help but think that you have some nonexistent right to your own veangence....

Jealousy is a sin....humans are frequently guilty of jealousy. SO IS GOD....

Deuteronomy 6:15
If it is a sin for a man to be jealous of someone enough to harm them or take something that they have, why is it not a sin for God to have that same jealousy enough to destroy, like that scripture says?

Here's a hint--to answer this one, you cannot simply say "because it is God...." There must be a real answer for that to make sense. Why is it not hypocrisy for God to possess enough jealousy to kill and destroy, but the same behavior is a sin when a man does it?

And at the same time, if your only answer is "because it is God", then explain why God would be that hypocritical to do every day what is dead wrong for those who are created in His image to do. Explain to us why God wants to follow His example(Jesus), but at the same time it is contradicted like the verse shows.
