if we could understand God, would God then be God?

It's like saying if there's a gun 'bang' on the other corner of Earth... Though you didn't hear it... Yes, it's still a 'bang'.Originally posted by january:why would god still be god no matter whether we understand or not.
what is the meaning of this sentence that you have made?
Is it like saying. A chair is a chair? What is the significance of such statment?
Sort of... Yes... It's like me saying a chair is still a chair. There is no significance over such a statement, just logic. Logic which people have often taken for granted today? Well.. You can choose to celebrate it if you want to? Perhaps then there'll be 'significance'?
Unless you're telling me you wanna challenge the very basic of logics and all that are existing around us today (I'm not saying that's impossible)... That a chair might not be a 'chair'. I would 1st say, you'll need alot more things which are more concrete than just what you've been saying to back you up..... And even having done so, the law of relativity and usefulness of defining a chair as a 'chair' in its empiral form would still most likely prove to be more useful to us than not.....

Playing with words...?Originally posted by january:your analogy is fallacious. If we cannot see things his way, then why are people trying to understand god if you already say we cannot see things his way? Why are people talking about god and his teachings as if they understand god? These are contradictory statments.
We cannot see things the way our father does, doesn't mean that we cannot try to understand our father... Putting it in a more blunt way, we cannot see things the way 'equations' would 'see things'... But we can still try to understand equations....
Your 3rd sentence and 2nd point to bring across... So if I can understand my father and my teacher means that I cannot talk about my father and his teachings -
To note. A belief does not have to take a physical form for always. Hope that clear a bit of your doubt?Originally posted by january:"if you believe there is there will be, if you dun believe there will be not"
This statmenet is another common comment which is fallacious and contradictory. How can god exist and not exist at the same time if there are some people who believe and some believe who dun believe?
"God with those who believe in him"
can you please support your claim?
"We UNDERSTAND the teaching not GOD himself"
If you do not understand GOD himself , how do you know which book to read or whether you should be reading any religious book in the first place.
This is contradictory statment.
How do you know that GOD exist?
You got to have some reason why you say GOD exist.
