What is God's Own Being? | Episode 1706 | Closer To Truth 

The themes of these series are infinite, but the production is in human hands. So I'm afraid your (and mine) hope is lost.

I concur. When, eventually, he runs out of ideas, he can just interview different people on a certain subject for a different point of view!

After we make contact with an ancient alien civilization, and most of these questions are answered, there will only be a handful of topics to make videos on until the heat death of the universe.

Yeah, but there are so many, so once you finish, you can start all over and it'll seem fresh again 😂

@@Unit_With_Legs lol

I pray for you, brother... Consider reading the Quran and listening to its recitation in its original language. Watch as much as you can of episodes of The Truth about Cancer, and contact Ty and Charlie. Depending on your health status, consider a combination of water fasting, ketogenic diet, juice therapy, and eating raw animal pancreas. Have positive attitude and pray to your Creator.

@@emranba-abbad8335 Thank you but ive excepted this cancer... I only wish it would be more quick about doin its job.

he looks so much like a skinny Einstien to me!

If one is to probe the nature of God, one must coif one's hair in divine concordance.

Meanwhile Swineburnes, usually has a mind of it's own lol

🤣😆🤣

I consider myself well rounded. But I've never heard of a physicalist. Do you mean materialist? If not then have you studied the information theory? Materialism kind of looses meaning at a certain point. Most of it is over my head. But I do understand some aspects. Please explain what it is you think of the universe or cosmos.

@@thegoodlistenerslistenwell2646 hey friend. Google it. You MIGHT say it's hard core scientific materialism.. peace

@@thegoodlistenerslistenwell2646 Certainly friend. (Tightly condensed) Its all about the particles AND the waves..The universal wave function has a real and objective existence.. Emanating FROM it is space-time, particles, and constants with the values we see.. Physics explains the rest, pointing at the interactions of particles and waves.. one man's opinion. Peace..

@@billnorris1264 thank you!

@@billnorris1264 “Hard core scientific materialism” No offence intended but technically there’s no such thing as “hard core (scientific) materialism” as it’s not “scientific” in the sense of methodological naturalism!! Materialism is actually a philosophical position not a scientific position. It just sounds better if you arbitrarily add “scientific” to give this quasi religion more credibility. There’s a big difference between methodological naturalism and philosophical naturalism!! I’m not making any appeals to authority but the fact is that according to the expert linguist and brilliant cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky… “There are only two ways of looking at eliminative materialism (the idea that all things reduce to solid substance). One is that it is total gibberish until someone tells us what matter is. Until someone tells us what eliminative materialism is there can’t be such a thing as eliminative materialism and no one can tell us what matter is”. (Noam Chomsky). The double irony is that quantum mechanics and in particular quantum superposition has actually demonstrated that classical materialism is dead!! According to Scientific American… “Atoms themselves can be further divided into smaller bits, and those into yet smaller ones, and so on, until what is left lacks shape and solidity altogether. At the bottom of the chain of “physical” reduction there are only elusive, phantasmal entities we label as “energy” and “fields”-abstract conceptual tools for describing nature, which themselves seem to lack any real, concrete essence.” (Scientific American). The fact is that most of our physical theories and metaphors to describe the world of “matter” have been progressively falsified and replaced by what appears to be immaterial probability waves that are invisible, bi locational/non locational, timeless, unmeasurable and collapse at the wave function during measurement due to the observer effect suggesting that consciousness not “matter” is fundamental to reality in some way. According to the Director of the Institute for Mind and Consciousness Professor David Chalmers the current evidence suggests that we should think of mind and consciousness as an…. “Updated version of Descartes. The body effects the mind the mind effects the body. Integrated information theory tells us how physics effects consciousness and collapse tells us how consciousness effects physics.” Chalmers goes on to highlight the limitations of this self refuting, strictly reductive, causally closed, effectively complete, nihilistic, fatalistic b…sht… “Materialism is a beautiful and compelling view of the world, but to account for consciousness, we have to go beyond the resources it provides” (David Chalmers) Noam Chomsky is in agreement with Schopenhauer as Schopenhauer points out that since there is no viable definition of “matter” the strictly reductive materialist, atheist or philosophical naturalist simply posits “matter” as an absolute given rather than even attempt to justify his near worship of “matter” as the generator and genesis of all things. Peace. Equally, I’m not making any appeals to authority, but on the cognitive level Albert Einstein utilised a more nuanced approach and demonstrated that “matter” is nothing more substantive than the curvature of space and time which is why he completely rejected atheism for the belief in the fundamental nature of mind and consciousness. That is Einstein completely rejected atheism for the nuanced God of Spinoza/deism/panentheism. Similarly, Einstein’s closest friend Michelle Besso, who Einstein stated “was the greatest sounding board in Europe”, completely rejected atheism for the belief in the fundamental nature of mind and consciousness/monotheism (Christianity). I’m not making any appeals to authority just pointing out that the conflict myth between science and faith is exactly that, a myth and a false dichotomy perpetuated by militant internet atheists. Again I’m not making any appeals to authority but according to the literary genius G.K. Chesterton… “The Christian admits that the universe is manifold and even miscellaneous, just as a sane man knows that he is complex. The sane man knows that he has a touch of the beast, a touch of the devil, a touch of the saint, a touch of the citizen. The really sane man knows that he has a touch of the madman. But the materialist's world is quite simple and solid, just as the madman is quite sure he is sane. The materialist is sure that history has been simply and solely a chain of causation, just as the interesting person before mentioned is quite sure that he is simply and solely a chicken. Materialists and madmen never have doubts.” (G.K. Chesterton). Peace. ❤

Thankyou Narcissus, we'll let you know.

kids are most satisfied when they have some knowledge of their ancestors or forefathers.

From where did you get the loopy idea that you could" please God"?-whatever you mean by god.

Why would god have a face

@@ishikawa1338 would not your better question be what categories of phenomena have faces? - Why would a die that one of a pair of dice have a place? As far as one can discover it appears that the word "God" evokes or sparksa series of the visual associations or pictures, butt so does the equally meaningless word universe or "the universe - neither word and the corresponding experience- they merely evoke associations, but then all words evoke associations do they not? What exact function do words perform? - Do they reveal obscure?

Why are you so terrified of using "I"? "we" is imaginary.

Few are free of sentimentality which is a negative emotion.

God is so perfect he even doesn't need to exist !!!!!?? Hah

@@suatustel746 and why is god a he?????????? Why can't god be a cube.

@@jrhendry8744 his sex specified by patriarhic religions as male for descriptive terms, but you've misconstrued my humour, however any being occupy 4th 5th 6h dimensions it amounts to superior to you in any sense?????

@@suatustel746 that's because men wrote them all. God has the best of both genders energies and likely be genderless. And likely can show any form.

@@sheenaalexis8710 there's one animal exists have possess both genders it's callers sea_horse that I envy that animal he settles the sexual gender quite well, God can be regarded and befitted the example just given

I thought you just created content. I didn't think you also provided comments. A surprise.

*The*mind or dreaming machine, no "Our" about it. From where do you creatures get this "we" fantasy?

Feelings generate abstract. Logic repeats what is. Feelings lead to both good and evil. Self sacrifice, constant thoughtful of others, to stealing, and sexual assault. Logic is that part that allows people to consider which way to turn. To put it spiritually, the universe is like a human egg. It begins as a small point, something happens and it begins to expan. Both the egg and universe divide as they expand. Breaking up into parts, breaking up into new qualities, new possibilities. Ever more complex....but always the egg, always the universe. This means all that you are, feelings, knowledge, physical, and wave, are all equal. If you are Christian you know the story of Adam and eve, I want you to think about this. Before they ate the apple, god said it was perfect. Being naked was fine, eating anything else was fine. All words and all actions were fine. So why would god tell beings, that he knew perfectly well, to not do something. It wasn't actually fruit you see. It was an idea. The snake gave eve a taste of something "better" which meant now there was something worse. The mind is a pattern finder, and once it sees the pattern it can never unsee it. Good and evil were not directly created, only the potential. God didn't ask them not to eat fruit. He asked them not to judge his creation.

God is actual Truth. The magic is provided by some one else. I suspect aliens.

@@TheWayofFairness god is a word for anything. It has no definition and means something different to everyone. It's better to say creator, or highest mind. You can also say god is what is, but this is no different than atheism ( a god that is not a thinking agent is typically not a god to an athiest) saying god is truth doesn't make sense. Evil exists, and that is true. Therefore god is also evil. If you think truth is all good, and evil is a lack of truth, you'd be mistaken. I can easily use truth to perform evil. If I am able to USE god, then it not much of a god. Lying to manipulate is common. Telling people the right truth at the right time just takes practice.

@@TheWayofFairness do you perform magic? Are you actually saying some living being created a new force in the actual universe?

Coming back to this stupid world?

Actually, anyone who seriously pursues a spiritual experience does the same thing. Hallucinogens are not required. It means not going back to the old ways.

Why?

The all know all powerful person has the ability to make avatars with whatever weaknesses and limitations they want. God could experience not knowing god. God could experience you. It becomes impossible when you also say god is an all good being.

@D L Luke ssmmmmooookkkeeee

@D L Luke let the weed into your lungs and know truth

Jung.The only person that perhaps came a bit closer to truth!

@J w I think we're on the same page here. The next step in the reasoning would naturally be "then your skull is also inside your skull," leading to the inevitable conclusion that everything is mind. And minds can contain all kinds of different realities/ideas. Then you're only as limited as your imagination.

there exists no god worthy of my worship

@@larryfulkerson4505 what are you worth?

It's not to be described. You have to experience it.

Good point.

If nothing changed there would be nothing.

God loves deer meat.

So you would prefer a lion to go against its very nature and starve to death?

God is perfect. Of course He does not evolve. Macro evolution is a fairy story.

Yes you write fiction.

@@rl7012 You seem threatened.

@@Uvray Lol.... Dream on

@@Uvray Like you said, you write fiction.

The virus has little to do with God. It's a virus. It happens. Mortality is just a tiny blip to God. A Virus isn't good or bad. It's just a virus. It's like gravity. Gravity isn't good or bad. It's just a thing. Sometimes we fall down and hurt ourselves because of gravity. That doesn't make gravity bad and it doesn't make God bad. Sometimes a virus jumps species and makes people sick. That doesn't make the virus bad and it doesn't make God bad. It's just part of life. What matters is how we deal with it! We can choose to work together and help each other out and become better and stronger, or we can complain and take advantage of each other and choose to do evil. It's not the things that happen that matter, it's how we deal with them that matters. Mortality is all about improving ourselves. It's hard! But usually when things are hardest, is when we improve the most if we try! It's not what life throws at us that matters, it's how we deal with it that matters.

God is not in the universe. The universe in a sense is within God.

I think God created the universe, so he's outside of it. But his influence permeates through it.

What if god was one of us......just a stranger.....on a bus.

I am not sure I understand how Knowing must lead to Being. As a physical trainer, knowing how to train someone so they can lift 300 lbs does allow me to teach someone to be able to do it; but train as I might, I won't be able to come close to lifting that much weight due to my own physical limitations. As a side note, Hindu folklore for instance is replete with sages who achieve omniscience but will have to deal with the burden (and the frustration) since they will not be able to change one thing about the outcome.

@@seankrishnan6402 As the saying goes, all analogies limp. Your analogy of a weightlifter is flawed because it deals with limited knowledge. Consider this, X knows everything. 'Everything' is an unrestricted quantifier which means X knows how to do and be anything. Omniscience logically entails omnipotence but not wise versa. Omnipotence implies omnisiicnce. Back to your analogy, limping as it is. If one truly knows how to lift 300 lbs, one can lift the weight with ease, even if one has a body of a child or, for that matter no body at all. Knowing-how-to logically implies the ability how to. The key concept here is true knowledge which by definition cannot be false; if X knows that P, then P is true. A for the second point of an omniscient mind helpless in the face of absolute determinism, it is altogether a different story.

I wouldn't say nobody. Keep looking. There are answers out there.

So anyone who leads church....hmmmmmmm

Have FAITH and U will find ur TRUTH G B. U

It is true. Just research abiogenesis and macro evolution and you will find how impossible mathematically and scientifically they are. Those concrete facts then can help you dismantle the 'magic' of the scientific secular dogma's you have been indoctrinated into believing to be true. You will then find that some of what mainstream science and palaeontologists spout is actually all based on unproven assumptions.

Infinity is the opposite of zero. There may be an infinity of infinities, but there is also a zero of zero's. Nothing does not exist, that is consistent with an infinity of infinities. They are complete opposites.

As God is all knowing, then God knows why He allows this.

Very easy to find out answer to this question.. read the book What is Islam? By G A Parwez.. need a new self..

Me too. If everything has to have an origin, then who made God?
