Professor London's response is the most sensible ever found on RUclips. It is sufficient to say God is the Creator having obvious attributes, what goes further is simply eloquent verbosity.
God has divine nature, superior nature. God is supernatural. For God is a Spirit, a living force with a body of divine, superior and supernatural forces and energy. Humans exemplify the nature of God in a physical way.
Based on the pure act of existence-that I am, that you are, that anything is-I resolve to Pantheism. In that sense, then, God is nature, or the inverse is or more true, nature is known by us as God. By knowing our own act of being, we know Being. We are of It and cannot be separate from this primal act “to be.” Our personal contingency to be is based not only on our birthing-a cosmically profound act-but also upon every breath, drink and repast. Let us not worship, rather, let us celebrate! To your health!
Agreed. God is the sum of all existence, and that includes us. The image of a gray haired man sitting at the pearly gates while jotting notes about who has been naughty or nice is a rather infantile view. Or is Santa in which case, I'm on board.
The problem with modern pantheism is that it's so tied to current-naturalistic thinking that it's become just another atheism. It can be salvaged, maybe through panentheism, or just ontology.
How will we find health wonderful if we haven't been through the disease? How would we find endless happiness and eternity wonderful, if we had not been through the hardships of mortality?
@@johnmartin7346 Well, if we can find good only if we experience immense evil and suffering first, perhaps we shouldn't care about this things. Or just water things down a bit, a little suffering for a little pleasure would be acceptable compromise.
John Martin If we need pain to find happiness then we need to feel pain every so often to no forget. Eternal happiness in heaven would be meaningless without remembering pain. Perhaps those in heaven are sent to spend some time in hell to remind them how good they have it in heaven.
'Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?' - Epicurus
The basic nature of God is that He has a mind, mental powers, intellect. God is an expert in logical thinking that all logicians should look up to. People who are thinking about heavenly issues have been given some of His nature.
If a game designer wants to make a game that's a meditation on faith, hope, and love, the first thing she has to do is provide evidence of the opposite, or it'd be a really quick, pointless game. Beating a game is like solving a puzzle or cracking an enigma. That enigma is called kenosis or entropy or time or the problem of evil.
Jesus said, " God is spirit " so spirit is his nature. God told moses " tell them " I AM " sent you so we can define God's nature as pure consciousness that transcends nature since nature is manifested because of him.
Unless you'd like to be confused like them..." Wisdom is proven by its results..." The so-called wise turned out to be fools in the end... My teen sons havd better answers than so-called experts...
I get scared sometimes as if I turned out as a number in this horizon and there are infinite, infinity’s that turn out in reality (even only counting the possible ones) means it may actually be up to nature deciding where I become conscious, if again... actually not too scared lol
Steven Watson We know a lot about what we can’t do. We can’t fly by flapping our arms. We can’t walk through walls. We can’t live without food energy. The list is endless. Which means according to you God is very limited.

Keep doing what you've always done and you'll likely get what you've always got. Robert, you only seem to see things through one level of consciousness. Life is varying levels and degrees of vibration and magnification. Please do an episode on strange loops and oxymoron/precise paradoxes. Please also remember that a finger can't point back at itself. You are intimately enmeshed with all around you but you have created separation. Words will not get you anywhere. You have to experience the blending directly on the right level.
Plantinga (and others) continue to attack strawmen in this debate. The proponent of "the" doctrine of divine simplicity could certainly say that God 'has' a nature, precisely because God IS his nature!
God, he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. - 1 Timothy 6:15-16

D L Luke Don’t be surprised, my explanation is so simple. Jesus denied Moses, and so Paul. But truth about God can be found even in the OT with all it’s stupid fables.

Physicist's speak of the 4 Fundamental Forces of Nature, but what about the 'force' of Causality that underpins them all ? Perhaps 'God' *is* the principle of Cause & Effect itself.
Look it up.he said if God was omnipotent then he could eliminate evil,/ suffering, but doesn't. Then, if it persists, he is either unwilling or unable to end it. Henceforth he is either apathetic or not omnipotent. According to our old friend Epicurus
Douglas Parise I’m aware of the quote you mentioned. I’m also aware of the many, many replies it has received by professional philosophers. Even a number of staunchly atheist philosophers will tell you, hardly anyone takes the *deductive* problem of evil seriously anymore. The quote you mentioned from Epicurus is an expression of the (now largely dismissed) *deductive* problem of evil.
It seems like exactly the opposite, the theists claim they have all the answers but they are usually trite and non-sensical, as in "God is nature" and other meaningless one liners . At last count the theists who actually claimed knowledge of God outwieighed the atheists by a good deal.
Imagine you're God before the beginning of the universe. There are no mirrors you have no history no experience no form. You only have Cosmic Consciousness , but how would an incorporeal spirit know its own nature and powers. Maybe God created the universe so He could have a mirror to discover His true nature.
Perhaps we should ask this question in practical sense, if God is present in this very moment and for all persons, than this ability should tell us something about how he's like. Imagine you can feel and hear everything everybody else feel and think, what kind of being would do that and what kind of mental state is required to absorb all those confusions, anger, evils, delusions, temper,...? I could never do that, it doesn't make sense to me watching other people living their normal lives because this means i can't live my own life at same time. I don't love anybody that much. And listening to other people's thoughts and feeling their desires would simply be disgusting, plain and simple. I have no idea how God can live with himself, it seems he would kill himself if this weird connection could brake down somehow and he would be left alone with his pathetic own thoughts, living his half life in divine, empty oblivion.
Isn't atheists and theists really asking the same fundamental question - if you substitute 'god' with 'universe' and vise versa? "does the universe have a beginning ?" "does the universe have a beginning?" is maybe not exactly the same question semantically, but the answer has the same implication
Safar Zen You can’t prove a negative because you can’t know everything. For example you can’t prove Santa doesn’t exist somewhere since you can’t see everything in the universe. You can prove a positive. You just need one example of something to prove it exists.
What's the nature of infinity? Or infinite number of dimensions? The question of nature of God can be partially answered by scriptures when Moses asked God to see His face...a nuclear bunker had to be used...lol
Why when they talk about God as an all loving & all powerful God do they think that he should fix everything when man can do so himself. Man needs to Spiritual grow up and reflect back to God the image of his, he made us in. If I was the Ultimate God I wouldn't help any of you people when you do not seek me or try being of the light I created you from. Today who stands for divinity? You all know about the children, cabal, rituals they do on use through many methods, eugenics etc. You people don't do anything why wouldn't God want you to learn... all this pain you do apon yourselves because you turned away, not God. You do not seek; your faith is in science.
I find it hilarious how materialists assign spernatural, creative powers, to "nature", where theists assign the same supernatural powers to "God". Materialists simply substitute one kind faith for another... if challenged for evidence, the standard excuses are presented: "science has no answers now, but it will." In other words, their faith keeps their hopes alive... They forget to mention that none of them will be alive to tell them they were wrong...
Maybe, just maybe, if all the hundreds of religions that exist today, and all the thousands that existed before, agreed on the nature of the universe, and how it came about, then all this might be a bit more palatable. But being that they all differ, extremely, we can’t look to any of them for answers. They are all so certain of their own correctness, it negates all of them.
Instead of religion try Spirituality . ALL religions place themselves between you and God and tell you what He/She/It is like and what He is saying. Jesus said " Woe unto ye Pharisees. You are supposed to lead the people to God". They didn't then and they don't now. Spiritualists desire for you to develop a one on one relationship with God, with no middle man between you and God. Then you can get the Truth right from the horse's mouth. God wants a personal relationship with each of His children. Unlike religions who want their followers to ALL think as the leaders want them to think - Spirituality declares that each personal relationship with God is unique. It's really no different than human relationships which are also unique. After all my interactions and experiences with God - NOBODY can tell me that there is no God. If I denied my experiences of Him - I should be locked up. Bless you.
@@garychartrand7378 Over the millennia H. sapiens have conjured thousands of gods. Do you embrace one or more of these gods or do you have a god unique to you. Clearly define your god. Please and thank you.
@@dennyworthington6641 I appreciate your inquiries. Seek and ye shall find. There is only the one God, one Source. However, as I have already said, Every relationship with God is unique. It is no different for you when you interact with all the different people in your life. You feel and behave differently with each of them. Each love has a different and unique quality. God is so large and infinite but we know that His love is UNCONDITIONAL for ALL of His Creation. We humans are saddled with the illusion of separation and so we love separately and this fosters the uniqueness of each relationship - including our seperate relationships with God. Each is unique. It is impossible to describe emotions in words - especially Love. They can only be understood if experienced. The only thing that I can say about MY relationship with God is that, even though I make my fair share of human mistakes, He/She/It has only shown me NOTHING BUT Unconditional Love and Humor. Oh, the stories I could tell about His Humor. While I am texting I cannot see your text. Have I fully answered you? If not please text me again. Your servant Gary 🙏❤️ PS. Don't be fooled by ALL the religions that push a one size fits all God. Your relationship with God is a very personal thing. Develop a personal relationship with God for yourself without any lying middlemen (church leaders). God tells us how to do this in the bible - with ALL of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Then YOU can get the Truth straight from the horse's mouth.
God is matchless , what you said is jus a way to understand but god is beyond of consciousness, praise to god we don't grasp his being سبحانه و تعالى سبحان الله بحمده سبحان الله العظيم
I wonder whether behind the question of "what is the nature of God" is the very human question "Is the universe fundamentally beneficent?" "Is God 'good'"? Yeah, there's a lot of suffering. But will it all "come out in the wash" in the end, the much larger context (something Huston Smith calls the "happy ending" in all religions). Related to this, in the philosophical tradition, are the Platonic transcendental values of the "Good, true, and beautiful". Why the (near universal) draw of these "values" (almost by definition)? Christians also have "the theology of the Incarnation". In this theology, Jesus provides a concrete exemplar, in human terms, the nature of God. This provides one answer. In another tradition, e.g. Hinduism (Vedanta), you have Sat-Chit-Ananda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss). The modern situation, heavily influenced by science, paints a universe that is largely inert, random, and indifferent. But there are alternative ways to view the predicament of our existence, even accepting the basic facts of modern science. Psilocybin is being used to treat end of life anxiety and depression. Some people still remain atheists. Yet despite all this, many are able to find a value the human life that is given, acceptance of death, a basic OK'ness, and sense of interconnectedness of all things. So behind these somewhat scholastic questions, maybe questions of evolutionary psychology, spirituality, ethics, morality, values, and aesthetics. These could be the next set of questions.
European enlightenment movement started on streets of Paris, where simple, lazy city folks was seating in corner bars drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, like there's not a single force in this universe that can stop them to think and say wherever they want.
Do questions and answers about an apple tell us about the apple or only about our relationship to the apple? Would we only learn about an apple if we listened in as the apple asked and answered questions about us?
To the central point, there is no problem of Evil as what we deem "Evil" is a necessary part of the ecosystem that creates value. One must be hungry in order to satisfy himself. One must feel pain in order to feel relief and pleasure. One must DIE in order to value the finite time of your life and also to avoid the madness of Eternity... In an eternal Heaven how many billions of books would you read until you got fed up? How many movies? How many relations? How many years in order to feel in Hell? A thousand? A Million? A trillion trillion? Eternity it is to big for any thinking computing machine, to any consciousness. And for a "God" like creature its first priority would be to make himself mortal and get out of Eternal existence. Obviously the nature of God is more keen to the concept of a Unified pantheistic totality which coheres through contrasts and opposing forces that cycle in a fractal pattern forever much like a Rubik's cube or Einstein block Universe. "God" is a complete "narrative" of Being and its qualia in a frozen 4D "film", a monolith NECESSARILY not aware of itself but which is the eternal substance of everything possible. God is a "rock" which sustains all space and all time in its own existence not separate from it. The kind of "God" I believe in is simply resumed in mathematics as a final order of all possible things that exist throughout all time Past, Present, and Future, in Physics coinage the Universal Wave Function or in Set theory the Set of all Sets. A finite close circuit that is qualitatively finite, such that you don't alienate contact through infinite qualities, as my photons are your photons and we can see each other, but quantitatively infinite or circular, as the fractal of all phenomena repeats for all eternity and never stops conting. Finally and to finish, in that light there is nothing contingent and everything is necessary and perfectly fitted in its spacetime frame which is the perfect one for whatever is the case. In BEING History itself is Eternal Present and nothing is out of order or out of place. as WHAT IT IS in each time IT IS! The idea of "Evil" is useful for Biological beings that through incompleteness and awareness experience in epistemic inquiry the multiplicity of conflicts that give Life VALUE! Value out of suffering and relief not a straight dead plain line. ...of course in a closer analysis there is no conflict in Being as the very opposition of forces is the reason that unifies the relation of all objects and agents. God is "Love" not because God is good or bad but because God unifies in contrast and through the contrast "creates"/IS, a valuable meaningful "narrative".
Does god *have* a nature? Ask Spinoza. He'll tell you that god *is* nature. God is “the sum of the natural and physical laws of the universe and certainly not an individual entity or creator”. Glad I could help....
Asking Spinoza might be somewhat problematic as he has been dead since 1677. And Spinoza's opinion about the invisible magical fantasy friend is just an opinion. As is yours.
@@Ploskkky Spinoza put his thinking into books. If you want to understand Spinoza's views on god & philosophy just read his works. A good place to begin might be his _Theological-Political Treatise._ Then go on to his more demanding _Ethics._ So it's not really problematic after all.
"Conversations with GOD" by Neale Donald Walsch has already clarified many matters about God. This is a direct revelation and not some sort of speculation. If you really want to get closer to truth, why not go to God's actual revelation?
"Does God Have a Nature?" Of course... whatever the theist fantasizes.... Only the theist's imagination limits the nature of his invisible magical fantasy friend. It is such a fun game. I wonder if these middle aged fantasists/apologists ever feel a bit ridiculous.
Yes. God has a nature. His nature is fixed. This is the finite aspect of the infinite God of everything. Thus the very bottom bedrock upon which EVERYTHING RESTS. Your search for the ground floor of being/existence stops THERE ... With the nature of God, and his FINISHED work on the cross. TAKE IT, OR LEAVE IT, Kuhn. It's all there is, in the search for finite, finale TRUTH.
You will have to come up with much better evidence, than just putting words in a certain order. That has always been the core problem of all theology. It is just pointless, idle babble.
This whole series is NOT the way to find God, imo. You experience God. Maybe it's trite, but God dances and interacts. You dont know love by understanding or debating the word, love. You should think about God, but in the end no thinking generates faith. Trust, a relationship, cherishing, gratitude, . . is the path to faith, in all things. Omniscient, omnipotent, or simple, all interesting to man, but irrelevant to the nature of God. Why not all loving being superior to knowing? Non believers simply reject God as inconsistent with thier own flawed understanding. To me it's nearly laughable that inherently weak and evil humans claim God is all good? Defined how? Robert thinks dressing up like a believer should make him a believer? He's so limited by his subjective subconscious pre conceived beliefs about God and how one "should" know God, that he can't experience it. See @11:25, as the guest tries to explain. It's like trying to hear by talking about how you hear. When he listens for infinity in a moment, he has a better chance at experiencing an arguement for faith. @19:44 Robert is close, then traps himself with his own answer. No Robert it's not circular, there is no circle.
If God is identical to His knowledge of contingent facts, that doesn't contradict free-will. That's like a spellchecker knowing every accident you could ever make, while still allowing you to do it. That's kenosis. That's time. That's the problem of evil. That's the apparent duality among divine attributes, united in the good. Entropy is in the eye of the computational bounded observer. 🤣
God could not escape responsibility for the ways of Nature, which is sometimes beautiful, but often bloody, random, indifferent, and sometimes a shameless whore. So too would those qualities have be attributes of "God", but more likely that "God" is simply a fable for incredibly credulous, impressionable minds.
sad to see these people engaged in mythologizing without realizing they're mythologizing. they're merely describing an imaginary ideal being--whose existence remains a hypothesis. wasting time and space.
Agreed, but its the host that forces the discussion, just as atheists demand to know through thier subjective needs. You can't explain Van Gogh sufficiently to a blind man, just as you can never create faith in someone who refuses to simply experience God.

Psybernetic I watched too many of these episodes. The answers are all philosophical word-play. The only people he has on that make any sense are the physicists.
This very show has probably managed to get closest to truth as it can get, just because question is so simple and naive in essence. If God is about our daily affairs and intimate morals, than human society is direct reflection of his creative ideas. And things doesn't get any better when we look at worlds outside our planet, if this universe is God's master piece, than i rather don't say anything about his artistic abilities because i can't find absolutely nothing worth mentioning behind his boring, empty, meaningless and repeatable aesthetics. Thinking about universe and physics makes me go to sleep, that cosmic awe and woo gets old very fast and i prefer to play an exciting computer game instead. They're also created worlds and can talk with other conscious people, one can sense presence of intelligent design immediately after game is loaded. In real universe you die before any of what we experience can make sense. I love realism and can dig bizarre, don't get me wrong, everything would be more than perfect if not that miserable, unbearable human condition. And i can see other forms of life and even stars are not doing any better, everything is flawed and exist in a constant stay of decay, like this universe is just a ruin of glorious place that once could have been or was never meant to became. But than again, if we would be like gods, who cares about those heavenly spheres and problems of simple, material robots, we would need much more crazy and incredible universe to enjoy immortality and supernatural powers. If this universe is an intelligent design, it's meant for torture and slaughter of helpless, scared and confused animals. This is western intellectual school of thought as it's best, no other civilization in history was able and brave enough to go so deep into very essence of philosophy. It's because idea of God is not a joke. Entire human history is not a joke. But people who have serious problems and must work hard every day might became jokers if academia and authorities believe they can get away with perverted ideas, childish simplifications and a bunch of dumb word salad. Social networks are best example western science stand behind their words, many scientists have used global quarantine to present us with material and mathematical descriptions of most important theories, so anybody can understand why we believe universe is the way it is. It's a pure joy for me to watch best scientists answering questions of random people, not s single idea can be left unanswered and this is a great achievement. I can only hope world will follow this bright example and all religions will do the same, tell people what we as humanity have learned about life, universe and everything, so they can clean up their ethical gardens of ideological weed and open new space for better future.
Truly nonsense! Never proved the existence of "God", except as a concept. "God" as a concept is nothing more than an anthropomorphizing effort. Goes nowhere.
Simple answer : no, you have too be real before you can have a real nature. And since gods are not real. The only nature they have. Are the ones we give them.

Why the need for all-powerful, all-knowing, blah blah blah? Such androcentric bias. So sick of this male criteria, as well as the anthropocentric world view in which it’s embedded.

That enigma is called kenosis or entropy or time or the problem of evil.

I’m not religious, maybe a bit spiritual, but if you just know, you know!

The old epicurean quote regarding evil
Douglas Parise
What about it?
Look it up.he said if God was omnipotent then he could eliminate evil,/ suffering, but doesn't. Then, if it persists, he is either unwilling or unable to end it. Henceforth he is either apathetic or not omnipotent. According to our old friend Epicurus
Douglas Parise
I’m aware of the quote you mentioned. I’m also aware of the many, many replies it has received by professional philosophers.
Even a number of staunchly atheist philosophers will tell you, hardly anyone takes the *deductive* problem of evil seriously anymore.
The quote you mentioned from Epicurus is an expression of the (now largely dismissed) *deductive* problem of evil.

I love how atheists cone here to comment on how superior they are.
Mohammed Hanif I love how theists come to comment about something they have no evidence for and about which they have zero knowledge.
It seems like exactly the opposite, the theists claim they have all the answers but they are usually trite and non-sensical, as in "God is nature" and other meaningless one liners . At last count the theists who actually claimed knowledge of God outwieighed the atheists by a good deal.
God = The Nature.
To talk about the nature of a absolute, is to not say anything at all.
Imagine you're God before the beginning of the universe. There are no mirrors you have no history no experience no form. You only have Cosmic Consciousness , but how would an incorporeal spirit know its own nature and powers. Maybe God created the universe so He could have a mirror to discover His true nature.
19:39 it's a difference in kind, not degree.
Perhaps we should ask this question in practical sense, if God is present in this very moment and for all persons, than this ability should tell us something about how he's like. Imagine you can feel and hear everything everybody else feel and think, what kind of being would do that and what kind of mental state is required to absorb all those confusions, anger, evils, delusions, temper,...? I could never do that, it doesn't make sense to me watching other people living their normal lives because this means i can't live my own life at same time. I don't love anybody that much. And listening to other people's thoughts and feeling their desires would simply be disgusting, plain and simple. I have no idea how God can live with himself, it seems he would kill himself if this weird connection could brake down somehow and he would be left alone with his pathetic own thoughts, living his half life in divine, empty oblivion.
Isn't atheists and theists really asking the same fundamental question - if you substitute 'god' with 'universe' and vise versa? "does the universe have a beginning ?" "does the universe have a beginning?" is maybe not exactly the same question semantically, but the answer has the same implication
Well... that was a waste of time. Didn’t learn anything more about what God is if He exists. No closer to truth...
Safar Zen You can’t prove a negative because you can’t know everything. For example you can’t prove Santa doesn’t exist somewhere since you can’t see everything in the universe. You can prove a positive. You just need one example of something to prove it exists.

I find it hilarious how materialists assign spernatural, creative powers, to "nature", where theists assign the same supernatural powers to "God". Materialists simply substitute one kind faith for another... if challenged for evidence, the standard excuses are presented: "science has no answers now, but it will." In other words, their faith keeps their hopes alive... They forget to mention that none of them will be alive to tell them they were wrong...
Maybe, just maybe, if all the hundreds of religions that exist today, and all the thousands that existed before, agreed on the nature of the universe, and how it came about, then all this might be a bit more palatable. But being that they all differ, extremely, we can’t look to any of them for answers. They are all so certain of their own correctness, it negates all of them.
Instead of religion try Spirituality
. ALL religions place themselves between you and God and tell you what He/She/It is like and what He is saying. Jesus said " Woe unto ye Pharisees. You are supposed to lead the people to God". They didn't then and they don't now.
Spiritualists desire for you to develop a one on one relationship with God, with no middle man between you and God. Then you can get the Truth right from the horse's mouth. God wants a personal relationship with each of His children. Unlike religions who want their followers to ALL think as the leaders want them to think - Spirituality declares that each personal relationship with God is unique. It's really no different than human relationships which are also unique.
After all my interactions and experiences with God - NOBODY can tell me that there is no God. If I denied my experiences of Him - I should be locked up.

God is so large and infinite but we know that His love is UNCONDITIONAL for ALL of His Creation.
We humans are saddled with the illusion of separation and so we love separately and this fosters the uniqueness of each relationship - including our seperate relationships with God. Each is unique.
It is impossible to describe emotions in words - especially Love. They can only be understood if experienced. The only thing that I can say about MY relationship with God is that, even though I make my fair share of human mistakes, He/She/It has only shown me NOTHING BUT Unconditional Love and Humor.

Develop a personal relationship with God for yourself without any lying middlemen (church leaders). God tells us how to do this in the bible - with ALL of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Then YOU can get the Truth straight from the horse's mouth.

I wonder whether behind the question of "what is the nature of God" is the very human question "Is the universe fundamentally beneficent?" "Is God 'good'"? Yeah, there's a lot of suffering. But will it all "come out in the wash" in the end, the much larger context (something Huston Smith calls the "happy ending" in all religions). Related to this, in the philosophical tradition, are the Platonic transcendental values of the "Good, true, and beautiful". Why the (near universal) draw of these "values" (almost by definition)?
Christians also have "the theology of the Incarnation". In this theology, Jesus provides a concrete exemplar, in human terms, the nature of God. This provides one answer. In another tradition, e.g. Hinduism (Vedanta), you have Sat-Chit-Ananda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss).
The modern situation, heavily influenced by science, paints a universe that is largely inert, random, and indifferent. But there are alternative ways to view the predicament of our existence, even accepting the basic facts of modern science. Psilocybin is being used to treat end of life anxiety and depression. Some people still remain atheists. Yet despite all this, many are able to find a value the human life that is given, acceptance of death, a basic OK'ness, and sense of interconnectedness of all things.
So behind these somewhat scholastic questions, maybe questions of evolutionary psychology, spirituality, ethics, morality, values, and aesthetics. These could be the next set of questions.

To the central point, there is no problem of Evil as what we deem "Evil" is a necessary part of the ecosystem that creates value.
One must be hungry in order to satisfy himself.
One must feel pain in order to feel relief and pleasure.
One must DIE in order to value the finite time of your life and also to avoid the madness of Eternity...
In an eternal Heaven how many billions of books would you read until you got fed up? How many movies? How many relations? How many years in order to feel in Hell? A thousand? A Million? A trillion trillion?
Eternity it is to big for any thinking computing machine, to any consciousness. And for a "God" like creature its first priority would be to make himself mortal and get out of Eternal existence.
Obviously the nature of God is more keen to the concept of a Unified pantheistic totality which coheres through contrasts and opposing forces that cycle in a fractal pattern forever much like a Rubik's cube or Einstein block Universe.
"God" is a complete "narrative" of Being and its qualia in a frozen 4D "film", a monolith NECESSARILY not aware of itself but which is the eternal substance of everything possible. God is a "rock" which sustains all space and all time in its own existence not separate from it.
The kind of "God" I believe in is simply resumed in mathematics as a final order of all possible things that exist throughout all time Past, Present, and Future, in Physics coinage the Universal Wave Function or in Set theory the Set of all Sets. A finite close circuit that is qualitatively finite, such that you don't alienate contact through infinite qualities, as my photons are your photons and we can see each other, but quantitatively infinite or circular, as the fractal of all phenomena repeats for all eternity and never stops conting.
Finally and to finish, in that light there is nothing contingent and everything is necessary and perfectly fitted in its spacetime frame which is the perfect one for whatever is the case.
In BEING History itself is Eternal Present and nothing is out of order or out of place. as WHAT IT IS in each time IT IS!
The idea of "Evil" is useful for Biological beings that through incompleteness and awareness experience in epistemic inquiry the multiplicity of conflicts that give Life VALUE! Value out of suffering and relief not a straight dead plain line.
...of course in a closer analysis there is no conflict in Being as the very opposition of forces is the reason that unifies the relation of all objects and agents. God is "Love" not because God is good or bad but because God unifies in contrast and through the contrast "creates"/IS, a valuable meaningful "narrative".

"Conversations with GOD" by Neale Donald Walsch has already clarified many matters about God. This is a direct revelation and not some sort of speculation. If you really want to get closer to truth, why not go to God's actual revelation?

This whole series is NOT the way to find God, imo. You experience God. Maybe it's trite, but God dances and interacts. You dont know love by understanding or debating the word, love. You should think about God, but in the end no thinking generates faith. Trust, a relationship, cherishing, gratitude, . . is the path to faith, in all things.
Omniscient, omnipotent, or simple, all interesting to man, but irrelevant to the nature of God. Why not all loving being superior to knowing? Non believers simply reject God as inconsistent with thier own flawed understanding. To me it's nearly laughable that inherently weak and evil humans claim God is all good? Defined how?
Robert thinks dressing up like a believer should make him a believer? He's so limited by his subjective subconscious pre conceived beliefs about God and how one "should" know God, that he can't experience it. See @11:25, as the guest tries to explain. It's like trying to hear by talking about how you hear. When he listens for infinity in a moment, he has a better chance at experiencing an arguement for faith.
@19:44 Robert is close, then traps himself with his own answer. No Robert it's not circular, there is no circle.

If God is identical to His knowledge of contingent facts, that doesn't contradict free-will. That's like a spellchecker knowing every accident you could ever make, while still allowing you to do it.

Entropy is in the eye of the computational bounded observer. 🤣
God could not escape responsibility for the ways of Nature, which is sometimes beautiful, but often bloody, random, indifferent, and sometimes a shameless whore. So too would those qualities have be attributes of "God", but more likely that "God" is simply a fable for incredibly credulous, impressionable minds.
sad to see these people engaged in mythologizing without realizing they're mythologizing. they're merely describing an imaginary ideal being--whose existence remains a hypothesis. wasting time and space.
Agreed, but its the host that forces the discussion, just as atheists demand to know through thier subjective needs. You can't explain Van Gogh sufficiently to a blind man, just as you can never create faith in someone who refuses to simply experience God.

karagi101 that’s ok, your answer is still valid to me, the episode expands on it in a way I can’t summarise well yet, cheers
This very show has probably managed to get closest to truth as it can get, just because question is so simple and naive in essence. If God is about our daily affairs and intimate morals, than human society is direct reflection of his creative ideas. And things doesn't get any better when we look at worlds outside our planet, if this universe is God's master piece, than i rather don't say anything about his artistic abilities because i can't find absolutely nothing worth mentioning behind his boring, empty, meaningless and repeatable aesthetics. Thinking about universe and physics makes me go to sleep, that cosmic awe and woo gets old very fast and i prefer to play an exciting computer game instead. They're also created worlds and can talk with other conscious people, one can sense presence of intelligent design immediately after game is loaded. In real universe you die before any of what we experience can make sense. I love realism and can dig bizarre, don't get me wrong, everything would be more than perfect if not that miserable, unbearable human condition. And i can see other forms of life and even stars are not doing any better, everything is flawed and exist in a constant stay of decay, like this universe is just a ruin of glorious place that once could have been or was never meant to became. But than again, if we would be like gods, who cares about those heavenly spheres and problems of simple, material robots, we would need much more crazy and incredible universe to enjoy immortality and supernatural powers. If this universe is an intelligent design, it's meant for torture and slaughter of helpless, scared and confused animals.
This is western intellectual school of thought as it's best, no other civilization in history was able and brave enough to go so deep into very essence of philosophy. It's because idea of God is not a joke. Entire human history is not a joke. But people who have serious problems and must work hard every day might became jokers if academia and authorities believe they can get away with perverted ideas, childish simplifications and a bunch of dumb word salad. Social networks are best example western science stand behind their words, many scientists have used global quarantine to present us with material and mathematical descriptions of most important theories, so anybody can understand why we believe universe is the way it is. It's a pure joy for me to watch best scientists answering questions of random people, not s single idea can be left unanswered and this is a great achievement. I can only hope world will follow this bright example and all religions will do the same, tell people what we as humanity have learned about life, universe and everything, so they can clean up their ethical gardens of ideological weed and open new space for better future.
