Topic: Are there three Gods and if so, whose God is right?

[Cookie Parker]

PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT ASK THIS TO MAKE EITHER OF YOU MAD!


Kookie and Moon:

You all are the two biggest Judo-Christian phobias I have seen on this forum.

Yet you two are right on the spot when a religion topic is posted  WHY?

Could it be that deep down you know that you a missing something in your life and have a longing for it?

Keep spreading the lies and disinformation...since you cannot address the issues...especially where religion is concerned.

Your hate-mongering is a thing of history now, RC.....you can't discuss and defend your position so you simply attack all others....<yawn> boring.

Kookie:

Just a tad testy today.  I ask a question, I hoped you would answer in a civil manner, but this answer told me a lot, thanks.  You must be slipping you did not blame Bush or the great dominionist  take another crack at it if you want.

That wasn't a question for discussion...it was an accusation that what we stated in the thread for discussion had no merit.

When you come up with a legitimate question for discussion, I'll acknowledge it.  When you can dispute the role of Dominionists, a religious political group in the Southern Baptist religion which seeks to turn the US into a theocracy, then you can make snide comments.  Until then, you simply support these facts....

I thought according to you that old "Booda" was in charge. If that is what you think do not let the dominionists get you down.

At least it's apparent that your definition of God does nothing to give love and compassion to people, to yourself, nor does it give any love and respect to your
God.  Your behavior and that of your brand of religion, is why there are people all over this world who hate Americans.  You demonstrate who it is who created the terrorists..

I have also wondered something like that. Although I believe in God (the creator & the father of Jesus) I know that others believe just as much as I do in their god(s). They believe without doubt in their religion, just as most christians do in their religion. I guess there's not gonna be an answer here (on earth) & we will all find out when we die.    Nobody on this earth knows for sure which one is 'right', I guess that is why we call it faith.   dunno....

I agree.  The Bible says no one has seen God and lived.

To waddle back over to topic,

Man has a long and storied history of war gods and who wins with whose god. The god of the bible has been many gods, god of war ( Lord of Hosts ), god of thunder, god of procreation ( 7 times he told Abraham he would be fruitful and multiply - this after having told all of mankind to be fruitful and multiply - after the sixth time he told Abraham to multilate his sex organ and give it to god to prove he'd be fruitful, by the way, Abraham had only two sons - one of whom was the bastard son a of a slave ), god of fertility, god of nature, the list is endless.

And whoever's god was in power during a military victory - the people thought their god the strongest. The losers - either jumped ship to the new and improved god or felt their god was sleeping or angry, so they waited, and in time maybe they became victors - and their god was the strongest.

Man just keeps looking for an involved god to communicate with - something that can answer the unanswerable questions. Something they can blame and find comfort in in bad times and something they can ignore or weld power with in good times.

Man just keeps making the same mistakes, over and over and over again - and in the end blame it on their god. Gives mankind an easy out for not having to take credit for his own ignorance and stupidity.

I would like to remind all of you that believe in a god, that being mean and mud-slinging is not a part of any religion that I know anything about.  I believe the part in the Bible that says Jesus taught the law of love.  A Christian who talks mean and ugly and makes personal remarks about other people cannot be following Jesus.  Nowhere in the Bible do you see him doing that.  It would be good if we could have this discussion about the truth or error of Bible teachings and Christian teachings, which are not always Biblical, as a discussion, not a heated  argument.  Perhaps if Christians acted more like Christians are supposed to be acting, the rest of us would be more Christian.  The discussion we are having here is about religion, not the people who adhere to it.  If I say that something that is being taught is a lie, I don't mean that the people who have learned it are liars.  We don't need to drag our biased opinions of people's politics into the discussion.  As I recall, the Bible does not approve of politics.  What is it that the Bible says about trying to remove something from another's eye, when you have a bigger one in your own eye?

In answer to the origional question, I believe that at least two  of these religions started out with right ideas.  Something happens when people get together and try to decide What God is and wants.  Politics enter in.  They begin to try to bodily enforce the laws that they made for God and to judge people.  God should be the one to judge.  While they were preaching against Paganism, it crept in the back door.  At least the Jews admit it.  I don't know about the Moslems.  I haven't studied that.  The third religion was started by a Jew who just had a few different ideas.  He saw that the people had lost God in all of their rituals and regulations.  He wanted to restore that to the Jewish people.  He did not come to save Christians.  He was not a christian.  He was  Jew.  He refused to even talk to Gentiles except (if you can believe that part of the Bible) for one time, Matthew 15:21.  A Phonician woman asked him to cast the demons from her daughter.  At first, he didn't answer her.  When he did, He said,(24) "I was not sent forth to any but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."  When she persisted, he said , (26)"It is not right to take the bread of the children and throw it to little dogs."  She said("Yes, Lord; but really the little dogs do eat of the crumbs falling from the table of their masters."  So he healed her daughter.
So, there are many gods, and yet they are none. They are gods of wood and stone...and now of paper.  I believe that Jesus knew the True God.  He knew what was true and what wasn't.  The only problem is that now he has been elevated to God, which was a pagan idea and blasphemy in the eyes of the Jews and, I believe, even Jesus himself.  Who has the right God?  Nobody, right now.  But God is still in charge of this world, and those who have tried to obliterate Him  are likely to be punished.  God is a god of love, not war.
