I believe in God, maybe not as an old man sitting up in the sky, looking at us, but as a supernatural energy that exists in everything and is contained of all... A whole Devine...

But the point is the function of sciense is not to prove anything but to bring facts to disprove a theory ...

When the Vatican allowed the painting of God as an old man on the Sistine Chapel they were actually breaking the second commandment in making an image of God.

Soossie

That's probably what they need people to believe how God looks like.. @Pfuzylogic

@Soossie
I believe in God and don’t need the image of an old man. The ten commandments are more important than that.

Soossie

@Pfuzylogic

I can feel him in my heart and everywhere.... I have a special connection with him and can't share the feeling with words... there's no word for to describe the feeling..

@Soossie
You have your testimony.
I am concerned when I hear about the old man in the sky.

@Pfuzylogic I do not think a painting is a "graven image" or breaks the second commandment. The painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is not an idol in my humble opinion.

Soossie

@Pfuzylogic

That's only a sign of the ordinary humans imagination being limited...

@KiwiBird
It is an image in which God didn’t want any created by man to be worshipped.

@Soossie
God is awesome!
I do have Faith.

It's been doing a job disproving evolution. After all, the Lord God is its Author.

@GodSpeed63

Thank you... Even that theory might be disproved...

The important thing is for those that believe, no evidence is needed, and for those that don't believe, no evidence is enough...

The commandment is about idolatry and the worshipping of idols not art. @Pfuzylogic

You got that right.

@KiwiBird
God isn’t an image of an old man.

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Pfuzylogic I agree but that painting is not an idol or a graven image and is not being bowed down to or worshipped as far as I am aware. I am not trying to undermine your faith btw, just calling it as I see.

Soossie

@GodSpeed63

Thank you..

@KiwiBird
My Faith is based on my salvation through Jesus. The painting on the wall is ancillary to anything. You can believe it isn’t shaken through this discussion.
I figured I would eventually have to declare Jesus in this thread.

Soossie

@KiwiBird

The thing is that art has its own function too... it must be done with responsibilities, and creating an image of God like that is not a responsible art, even if that is a masterpiece...

What I mean is playing with the humans mind on such a huge matter..

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Pfuzylogic I am not questioning your faith in any way, shape or form. Just your interpretation of the second commandment.

Pfuzylogic · M

@KiwiBird
The painting of an old man to represent God I find wrong. There is no basis for it.
I have seen images of Moses in the Hebrew Faith but that is totally different.

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Soossie How many paintings exist then depicting God. Lets not go there. I just don't consider paintings graven images.

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Pfuzylogic What then say you of all the paintings of Jesus. After all he is God.

Pfuzylogic · M

@KiwiBird
That is why I don’t like the image of the Sistine Chapel. I think Jesus is more than sufficient.

Soossie

@KiwiBird
I think you are upset because we are talking about Vatican...

Please don't be upset because we are talking about a wrong doing, rather than attacking your beliefs..

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Pfuzylogic No one is saying you have to like it....after all it is only one man's interpretation of God creating Adam in picture form.
