That would be I AM once you know who you are (impersonal).

When you are God there is no God.

You will be in charge of your own destiny.

The God of the living only creates life that finds existence in form.

A gift from an unknown God who you can't communicate with, right?
That will depends on who you think you are, or, if you just think you are and do not know who you are.
Quote:

Why do you presume to speak for your unknown God? He has never made a public appearance and said "Thou shalt procreate if you are able to procreate, and as long as you can properly take care of your children." Some people do not feel fulfilled by having children, and they have every right not to have children if that is their wish. If some God opposes this, then let him make a public appearance and say so himself.
How can God be unknown if you speak of God?

His public appearance takes place in heaven and that may not be part of the world you know. It is called a Beatific Vision that is seen by the mind of man without the human perspective.

Yes they do, but have you ever wondered that if we are God, indeed as I suggest but do not know it, that God is telling them not to have children for his own sake? I mean, if we are predestined by God is it not also Gods choice that we should or should not procreate in this same environment where only the fittest are meant to survive?

This is a thread about homosexuality, and yet you completely avoided replying to my comments about homosexuality. Why was that? I said:
They are moral issues and do not belong to God. Evil is not part of God or he would not be 'good' wherefore I suggested that homosexuality is a distorted essence of God that has been changed by our human condition that I called 'like god.' If you want to blame anyone blame the Lord but in that case you are pointing your finger at yourself (impersonal) as the essence of God that found existence in the being called man which here is identified as homosexual by the human mind.

Please answer my questions.
Is there anything I should tell him? I do have children and never told them anything about sex or their sexuality which is theirs to uncover and not mine to expose.

Default Does the Bible strongly condemn homosexuality?

Good. That is all that I wanted to know regarding this thread. This is a thread about homosexuality, not what you believe about human procreation and the nature of your unidentified God. If you wish to convince people of your world view, you should start another thread and discuss your worldview, and if you do, by all means please tell us upon what evidence you base your assertions about your God whose identity you have never revealed. Upon what evidence do you base your numerous, completely uncorroborated assertions? Is your evidence books, emotions, or intuition? Do you believe that your unidentified God created Hurricane Katrina and caused it to go ashore on the Gulf coast? Please reply to these issues in a new thread.

That would be I AM once you know who you are (impersonal).
"I AM who I AM." (Yahweh)
"I am what I am and that's all that I am." (Popeye)
"I think, therefore I am." (Rene Descartes)
"I am a rock, I am an island." (Paul Simon)
"What I am is what I am, are you what you are, or what?" (Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, also Mrs. Paul Simon)

I'm sure they'll grow up normally and perfectly well adjusted. (shudder)
