quote from swedenberg'
there are 2 things which constitute the essence of god
love and wisdom
then 3 parts constitute love
to love others out of himself/to desire to be one with them ;and to make them happy from himself
the same 3 constitute his wisdom ;because love and wisdom in god make one
and love wills these things and wisdom accomplishes them
the first essential is -to love others out of himself-this is aknowledged to be 'god' from his love of the whole human race
thus on thier account to love all things he has created,because they are the means ;for whoever loves the means loves the end
the love of god reaches and extends ,not only to things that are good ,but also to things that are percieved evil
consequently not only to the things of heaven but also to men and things of hell
for god is everwhere from eternity to eternity the same
but the reason men are evil is that they do not recieve the love of god as it trully is but according to thier own capacities

No. You provide only an untestable definition. That which cannot be tested is irrelevant -- neither proof nor disproof.

You've made a variety of emotional appeals, but you haven't actually *said* anything

my dogs show love and wisdom---maybe they're god
they always strive to make me happy----maybe they're god
they always remember where they left their bone---maybe they're god
they love to bite people that are evil and lick the good--maybe they're god
sometimes they get lost and return home----yep they're god
