    Which religion invented the idea of "One god" first?

    Terry, The people of Ishmael believed and had a family and social concept of a singular god long before the rise of the formal Islamic beliefs. You can say the same for the Jewish side of the linage (Jacob). Moses was the prophet / law giver to the those of Jacob line and Mohammad to those of...

    God is angry at religion

    There are no gates or walls to hell. We create ourselves and willing choose to live in it. Hell is of our own making, both physical and spiritual.

    Are you attempting to diminish my experience without even knowing me or what I have experienced ?

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    John, I find your response convoluted and full of circular logic. Though I do not disagree with your conclusion. If you are implying that we are meant to live in total oneness with God while living here on earth, I would be in line to agree with you. Just not for the 'logic and reasons' you...

    Why exactly should infidelity be considered wrong?

    Straight to the point here ... It is fundamental betrayal of the heart and trust of not only your spouse but yourself. You use the word 'infidelity' and I agree it is the best term to us for your question. Infidelity mean NOT fidelity, or Not Faithful. Let me put another way, Not having faith...

    Evidence

    Great question and very truthful observations. Also the trivial answer of 'faith' does no good either. So here is my personal attempt at it. 1. There is still so much we do Not know then there is that we do know. Even the most pure science type will admit this. 2. Science does not address...

    Hello to all

    I did not believe I was asking any question, but rather making statements I thought meaningful to introducing myself here. I have some small exposure to mysticism, but to be frank and not meaning to be rude, I am not really into any 'ism'. Far to many of them.

    Too many religions

    I can not disagree with you in a general sense. When I look at religious history in a broad sense I do not see a singular messenger but rather many messengers. What I see as a big problem with religious history is the arrogance and self pride of people involved with it. Using a broad brush...

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    I have taken just two of the ones you offer. And just to show you with out meaning to be rude, they do not necessarily mean what you are implying they do. The first one "John 14:11 ... I am in the Father and the Father in Me" does not mean necessarily me Jesus is himself the ONLY and Singular...

    Which religion invented the idea of "One god" first?

    Interesting, I would have to say that is was known at the beginning and lost and then re-established mainly through Abraham and his decedents. Most religious beliefs have a story (understanding) of a time of mankind was with God before a separation (fall) from him (or the ideal world) and...

    God in One Sentence

    The Parents of eternal, unchanging, unconditional love, the original source and motivation for all of creation. That is my one sentence answer, but you can spend a life time expressing and living it. Which is the way it is meant to be. And I really like that you asked this question.

    Hello to all

    Just registered. I am looking or civil and honest discussion(s) about what a substantial and ongoing relationship with God is and means. How do we have one, how do we keep it healthy, and how do we explain and share that relationship with others. Also what stops one from having such...
