Which is the truer statement?

Question

"God is in me" or "I am in God"

NOTE: 'Neither', 'IDK' or 'thanks for 2 pts', &c are NOT valid answers.

'Truer' is the comparative of 'true'. It's perfectly acceptable English, as is 'more true'. I could equally well have said 'Which statement is more true?' but I chose not to.

Answer 1

Both are true. G*d is in me and I am in G*d.

"On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." John 14:20

Answer 2

Alright, here's the way I really see it. This is a theory of mine that I'll share with you, so that you may more fully understand the basis for my answer. Get ready, this might take a few minutes.

To begin, no, I don't think that a water stain under a bridge is a sign from God. If God wanted his prescence known, you'd damn sure know it. Everyone has a right to believe or not believe
in whatever they choose. I do believe that even Aethiests can have morals, values or whatever. But I have three different views for you. First, if you don't believe in God, go sit your *** in a fox hole when mortor rounds are coming in non-stop. Chances are real good your're gonna pray to/for something.
Second, the big bang theory. That's how scientists explain the creation/expansion of the universe. Ge 1:3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. That sounds like one heck of an explosion beyond our own comprehension. Yup, that'd create a little light. Third and last this is my own personal conclusion I have come up with to explain the nature of us all. Look at the Hubble Telescope. What does it do? It gives us a look deeper into the cosmos than humankind has ever known. Now, look at the Electron Microscope. What does it do? It scrutinizes amoebas and bacteria that are even too miniscule for us to see. Now, if you look at an amoeba what is it? A single cell animal. Every cell has a nucleus. Are you with me so far? Assuming you are, O.K.
Protons and electrons circle the cell making a molecule. Now we gotta think big, REAL BIG.
Look at our Sun (not without eye protection of course) and solar system. The Sun would act as nucleus and the planets that revolve around it would act as protons and electrons.
This, in my theory would make or solar system a single cell. That cell would be part of a whole that we would call a galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy to be exact. We have photographed thousands of galaxies in a single photograph with the Hubble Space Telescope. All of these galaxies that we see are part of a whole that we call the universe. We've never been able to see the end of the universe, therefore we call it "infinite, simply because we can't see the end. BUT who says it doesn't end with 100% accuracy. My theory
(which you people are going to dash to pieces
I'm sure, goes like this. All of those galaxies together as a conglomerate form a whole "something" as well. What IF all these things I've spoke of make up a single thing? What if that single thing is GOD? IF my theory would be correct, that makes all of us, and all we see, nothing more that a pimple on a fat man's ***. If you get bit by a mosquito, what happens? You kill it. So what does God do when we become a mosquito on him? He kills those that would be infectious and loathesome. Not just Aethiests, Christians, Muslems, Islamics, Baptists, Jews, Catholics, Lutherans, etc., He kills EVERYBODY. Maybe that's what the book of Revelation is all about. We finally become enough of a festering sore, that EVERYBODY DIES. You, me, people worshiping water stains, skinheads, Klansmen, EVERYBODY. So that's just my private conception of the whole thing now made public. Now for all of those people that would rip me to pieces, go ahead. For any one that likes what I've said, please email. And as for Owl_Wings' question...if I believe in my own theory, then I would have to say that "I am in God."

Answer 3

'truer'? (try English) but anyway that depends on what you mean by it, loosely they could mean the same thing and be equally correct. However if your a subset of god such as a tire is part of a bike we would say the tire is part of the bike not that the bike is in the tire. But that's just the way we USUALLY use English doesn't make it any more 'correct' to say it that way. Personally i'm agnostic and don't believe in god so it's irrelavent and neither is correct but whatever...

Answer 4

Here a statement truer than either: Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Mmmm, logic. Yum.

Hate to bust your bubble, Dr. especially since we seem to mostly agree, but there's nothing wrong with the word truer.

Answer 5

The Hindu believe that God is present in everyone, and the ultimate aim is not heaven, but merging of ones soul with God. heaven is a temporary reward. You stay in haven as long as you have a surplus of good deed 'credits' over bad deeds. once these credits are exhausted, the soul is sent back in some form or the other, a lucky few (based again on ones deeds, not chance) attain the human form repeatedly, the others could be born as animals, trees, etc.,
So God is definitely within you, and once your soul merges with God, you are in God.
Incidentally, the soul can't be created or destroyed, it can't be cut, wet, dried, burnt........, it's insoluble, etc. is a pert of Hindu philosophy too.
Hope this helped. In case you want to I can send you links to read more on this, if you e-mail me thro Y'Answwrs.
All da best!

Answer 6

Doesn't the phrase "god is in me" suggest a certain arrogance?

You can be in God by yourself. He would allow anyone in, even sinners. But for him to make up his mind to really come and be inside you, you would have to be a *very* special person.

Perhaps it is something you could say of someone else. God is in Mr X. An impartial observer would be better qualified to make that statement than Mr X himself`.

Answer 7

It um... crap Owl, it is a toss up.

Let's talk soul here. Whatever part God occupies of it, it is in you. It. But you know my thoughts on the gender topic already.

But whatever part of God is in your soul, that part of you is in God.

If God is in your soul, you are in God. There really is no way around that.

Neither statement is truer. No matter how you look at it, God in you and you in God is equal.

However much you let God into your soul, that is how much of you is in God.

-Dio

Answer 8

God is in me is the truer statement. In that you are declaring that God is part of you and that his spirit is in you. I am God is declaring that you are the God or a God. Stating that no one is higher than you, that you are God.

Answer 9

Well,since you're really being exact,l would have to say that
''l am in God'' is truer..
Do you remember what Jesus said? ''l am the True Vine,and you are the branches.As long as ye remain in me,and l in you, ye bear much fruit'( John 15:5).
Sounds symbiotic to me......

Answer 10

Both?

God is in me, I believe in Him, I have the Holy Spirit, who is part of God, but not really Him.(mystery of the Holy Trinity) I guess I pick that one, because I cant seem to validate the other one.

Answer 11

IDK, thanks for 2 points... I'm sorry but I HAD to just because you said not to! But I will also seriously answer the question to apologize for my rudeness. I think that it is up to you to interpret which answer is more true. So next time don't ask "which is the truer statement" but "which statement is more true to you". The truest statement is in the eye of the beholder.
