That's not settling.

LMAO.

Edit to add: Actually it is. I could have gone with John Bauer's version.

I have to go with John. The God that I know loves deeper than anyone I know in the flesh. But scripture has stumbling blocks and if one wants to see a different God then they will see that one. But since John the beloved received the ends times prophecy as did Daniel then I think that John's description of God is the closest because John knew God better than the others.

But our flesh is weak and we don't see well the things in the spirit realm. I suspect God is even better than I can imagine.

I wouldn't mind settling on Freya.

Apparently, no plastic surgery.
I want to check it as Thomas in John 20:27 did it. "Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."

I realize there are quite a number of different viewpoints in this forum, from Latter-day Saints (like me), to Biblical Christians, to agnostics, to atheists; I'm just wondering if we can come to a kind of understanding of what the common being we're talking about (God) actually is.
