This is the same thing as being an Ewok claiming to be a part of the Galactic Empire. You should just admit that you are an Ewok.
-Not constructed of matter or energy
No one knows what he's constructed of, if anything. It's completely theoretical.
- Made the universe
Check.
-Controls/sets limits on the universe
Check.
Now, that is a pretty loose definition.
Of course this isn't nearly all of the definitive terms used to define God by creationists.
There is no "before" in theory. That's your first mistake, at least in terms of this model, IMO.
In the "4th dimension", time is points and can be moved through like 3 dimensional space. It's like looking at a map. There isn't technically a point on the map that is first. With this, you can move to any point at will. Yesterday is no further "back" than tomorrow.
I'll provide 2 links if you are interested in my perspective.
We have to have some a priori assumptions as a starting point for any reasoning. Your a priori assumption is that God must have come first, before time and space, etc. and then created it all.
My personal assessment is that time is just points thst can be moved to and from at God's will. There is no before. There is no after.
Perhaps we've just studied it more than you have and don't deny where science leads. Are you familiar with the findings of James Gates?
I want to point out the significance of the term definition. Were god a thing with observed properties based on direct interaction, something for which we had evidence a, you would have used the word description. Instead, you went for a definition, indicating you were citing parameters of an abstract concept.
You are relying on the conceptualization that God is composed of anything within our universe. He is not. He created the universe and all of its properties. He isn't composed of properties that he had to invent.
No. You saying the conditions for God come from something God created is nonsensical. The comparison is perfectly apt. You don't come from your own creation. It comes from you. The point is that time does not produce God, but God produces time. Even according to science, there was no time prior to the big bang, but only after.
First off, are you meaning Oceania or Oceania from Orwell's 1984?
Second off, let's go at the obvious. How do you plan on disarming 350 million legal guns and 33,000 gangs with millions of members? Civil war? Race war? You'll get one or the other or both. Just disarming the Mexicans would be like disarming an entire European country. Disarming just the blacks would be like disarming Great Britain.
As for disarming the Whites, there are more whites in America than all of Russia. And America has a heavily "dare you to take my guns" culture. Good luck with that..
The media and race dividers have been running the Democrat Party for 200 years.
Saying time is necessary for god is nonsensical. It's like saying binary code must be in place prior to a computer programmer who creates binary code.
Name any denomination that doesn't agree that Jesus is the Son of God, or that Jesus is the only way to Heaven/salvation.
Now explain to us what they disagree on and why it would even matter.
