The canon of Scripture and the quotations from the Fathers mentioned above (Augustine, Gregory) assign one cause to the incarnation: man's redemption from the slavery of sin. Certain theologians 17 say, with great probability, that if man had not sinned, the Son of God would not have become man.
Though Church teaching, in line with its Doctors, holds that God has no literal sex because they possess no body (a prerequisite of sex), classical and scriptural understanding states that God should be referred to (in most contexts) as masculine by analogy.
The incarnation—the act of God assuming mortal flesh through Jesus Christ—reveals God's radical love for a world marked by the rebellion of the created against their creator. God becomes human to create life and restore the disrupted divine-human relationship.
God became man and took the penalty of sin on Himself so that, “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” And “whosoever” can surely mean you.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Book 239, states that God is called "Father", while his love for man may also be depicted as motherhood. However, God ultimately transcends the human concept of sex, and "is neither man nor woman: He is God."
No one created God. God got created as the universe grew and changes. God is the cumulative energy of the universe. So, infact universe created God.
God made himself small so that we could understand him, welcome him, and love him in us. Let us allow our heart, our soul, and our mind to be touched by this fact!
Thankfully, Jesus was both fully human and fully God for if He had only been fully human, his death would do nothing to help us. Instead, the death of a fully human Jesus would soon be forgotten, and we would still need someone to reconcile us with God.
God has been conceived as either personal or impersonal. In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, while in deism, God is the creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe. In pantheism, God is the universe itself, while in panentheism, the universe is part (but not the whole) of God.
Human beings are biologically male and female, but not God, because the divine does not have a body. The application of masculine and feminine gender to the divine is simply metaphorical and grammatical. God is spirit who is both male and female and neither.
God of the Hebrew Bible
In the oracles of the eighth century prophet Isaiah, God is described as a woman in labor and a mother comforting her children. And the Book of Proverbs maintains that the feminine figure of Holy Wisdom, Sophia, assisted God during the creation of the world.
Believing that God has a plan helps people regain some sense of control, or at least acceptance. Another motivational factor is self-enhancement. If you live in a society where religion is prized, it's in your best interest to say you believe, whether you truly do or not.
As The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: "God is neither man nor woman: he is God".
The most striking difference between Christian and Muslim theologies is that while, for Christians, God is a person, Muslims worship an impersonal deity.
God is more than person; God is superperson, superpersonality, supreme consciousness, and superintellect. God is a person and has these qualities without the human limitations. God is an intellect which is not limited or finite, not faulty or corrupted.
The Scriptures speak of “the mind of the Lord” or “the mind of God,” but this is very different than a brain. The Living God has a mind, but no brain. Your brain is a created, functioning organ that consists of various neural pathways that help you construct your thoughts.
According to Nontrinitarianism, Moses 6:57 suggests that a name of God the Father is "Man of Holiness," and that the title "Son of Man" points to Jesus' divine sonship.
He was to come forth having been formed in His mother's womb, by God's Plan to ensure that Jesus would not be contaminated with a sin nature.
He looked down one earth and saw that people were not happy. Many were sick, and they just couldn't always be nice to each other. They were suffering because of sin. So, leaving everything in heaven, Jesus came to earth to help us.
Nothing. Since the world was created out of nothing (ex nihilo), nothingness prevailed. Therefore God was idling, just existing, perhaps contemplating creation.
ADAM1 was the first man. There are two stories of his creation. The first tells that God created man in his image, male and female together (Genesis 1: 27), and Adam is not named in this version.
Although my dog may stare at me like I'm a deity, there's no evidence to suggest that non-human animals have religion. They don't worship, pray or believe in gods of any kind, but they do perform ritualistic behaviours, prompting some to speculate that animals could have a spiritual side.
Prehistoric evidence of religion. The exact time when humans first became religious remains unknown, however research in evolutionary archaeology shows credible evidence of religious-cum-ritualistic behavior from around the Middle Paleolithic era (45–200 thousand years ago).
