Only a person has awareness, beliefs, intents, goals, relationships. An impersonal force has none of these. If my hope counts, God exists and God is a person. But that's absurd: my hope counts for nothing. Featuring interviews with Thomas Flint, J.P. Moreland, Neil Gillman, Varadaraja Raman, and Philip Clayton.

From when someone describes God as He, that person has no concept of what our creator actually is?......God is everything🤔.

If God exists, and has a will and intelligence, he surely has to be considered a person. I read one religious writer who said that we can think of him as more than just a person...but not less than one.

As I look around, there is nothing whatsoever that I can observe that came from 'nothingness'. Nor have I ever encountered any other human being that can show me otherwise. 'Belief', then, becomes irrelevant. THANK YOU, Robert Kuhn, for taking us on your journey for objective 'Truth'

It starts bad it goes even worse and finally towards the end it gets way better! Still it fails grossly at admitting Unity cannot be a perspective. All perspectives together nullify personhood.

Your hope counts... FOR YOU... And that's the most important! We don't know what God IS because we already don't know what WE ARE !... what is our consciousness.... maybe our consciousness, our being and the one of God are alike.

What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on a bus, trying to find his way home..?
