God in the Bible and God outside the Bible

God in the Bible means God from His own revelation about Himself and what He wants mankind to do to earn His love.

God outside the Bible means God as mankind can and does know Him to exist, by mankind's reason and intelligence.

So, we can call God in the Bble as the God of supernature, while we can call God as mankind can and does know Him to exist, by mankind's reason and intelligence, as the God of nature.

Believers in the God of supernature expect God to work miracles, like commanding the sun (earth) to stop moving, while fans of the God of nature are happy that God created nature and is in control of nature.

Now, what is natutre? Nature is what mankind encounters everyday and everywhere and everytime, namely: the regular events of say sunshine and rain and the air and the seas and mankind itself i.e. humans like you and me, and everything else not made by mankind.

After death, what is the lot of believers in the God of the Bible i.e. the God of supernature, believers will enjoy everlasting life.

What about the fans of the God of nature? They could hope to come back to life again.

Hi everyone listed above, I invite you all to contribute your ideas to the thread on "God in the Bible and God outside the Bible."

If you feel irritated by my invitation, please opt to not get notified; however I am disappointed because I love to read any ideas whatever you have pro or against the God outside the Bible - I am theist of the God outside the Bible persuasion.

Tell God to get off his lazy ass and stop giving children cancer. I just saw a St Jude commercial. Someone should beat the crap out of God to make him stop doing this.

Tell you what, Lacros, cancer is also I would say coming from nature, and the God of nature is the creator and operator of nature, so mankind can blame God for ultimately the cause of cancer. What do you with reason and intelligence say about that?

That justifies your being an atheist targetting the God of nature - and indulging in your anger and hatred against Him?

Better you take up the study of medical science on the superior prevention of cancer and its more efficacious cure: that should be a most desirable ideal on your part, rather than anger and hatred against the God of nature - scil putting to very valuable aspiration your reason and intelligence.

@yrger funny how the same people who're the most critical of God allowing/causing the world's sufferings are the most indifferent to it
