I am not asking anyone to believe me. I am simply stating my belief in God and answering people's posts as best I can.
If anyone wants to believe differently they are free to do so. Our relationship with God and Christ is one to one and we are to follow HIM, not people.
But it's people who've appointed themselves interpreters and middlemen for god. It's people who claim to act and speak on behalf of god. It's people who write the holy books and form and lead the churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, etc. Everything you think you know about god was taught to you by people.
Talk about reading into the Bible tons that are just plain outright not there....Remember they (Adam & Eve) had disobeyed God thinking they could attain to God's level by their own efforts and own reasoning.
What a load of crap.This is an impossibility (as God knew) so there was no point allowing them to go on - hence Babel.
God struggles with man?But even so God was not washing his hands of man and continues to struggle on with us to this day !
I flat out disagree.But to end up fair, just and good it must be done GOD's way as HIS Commandments require !(not as WE figure it out in our perverted imperfect ways).
Nice little paragraph.We believe in God the Father and in the Son of God !
Each one is held responsible for what he knows and not for other's beliefs.
We are told that the Bible is inspired by God and not by man. The Bible is a book of Faith and does not originate from material evidence - whatever man may claim about it. Man has free choice to believe God or reject him - it's just as simple as that.
And you still have not answered the original questions or the new ones this post in a reply to.I am not asking anyone to believe me. I am simply stating my belief in God and answering people's posts as best I can.

With some people it's not what is or is not in the Bible but what is in their head !!!Talk about reading into the Bible tons that are just plain outright not there....
What a load of crap.
If it was impossible, then God had no reason to stop it.
However, not only did he stop it, he authored mass confusion to prevent it from happening again.
Perhaps your Bible has much more detail contained within it than any of the ones I have access to...?
God struggles with man?
I can agree with that.
I flat out disagree.
In fact, of all the characters in the Bible, at least the versions I have access to, God is the biggest hypocrite.
Humor me will you and ask me again !And you still have not answered the original questions or the new ones this post in a reply to.
At least you are consistently batting 1000 with it....
So you are just filling in what you want where you want?With some people it's not what is or is not in the Bible but what is in their head !!!
I am not the one asking the questions you are not answering.Humor me will you and ask me again !
Are those people right or wrong? Its seems that all of the bible was written long ago by biased prophets and each book reflects the prophets mindset. So who are we to trust?With some people it's not what is or is not in the Bible but what is in their head !!!
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence will agree that God cannot forsake us. If Nokia Manufacturing Company would not manufacture a phone without supplementing it with a Manual, the good and loving God is expected to give mankind a Manual/Guidance to life issues. In Psalm 23 God is described as a “shepherd” who cares for His sheep but which kind of a shepherd is this, one may ask, who does not provide a map/manual/textbook/answerbook/scripture which would explicitly show people the true religion? For convincing argument on this point see this article “Why Would God Forsake Us?”
The Bible was written by men inspired by God. If you think it is the product of MEN you will be confused. The whole world is already deceived by running ofter men's ideas.Rev.12v9.Are those people right or wrong? Its seems that all of the bible was written long ago by biased prophets and each book reflects the prophets mindset. So who are we to trust?

So who are we to trust ? GOD OF COURSE !
And what public image do you think God needs to be acceptable to people ?The Bible is a product of man.
Of course, if what you say is true, then you are really not helping Gods public image.
Not with those outside your choir at any rate.
Just as soon as god decides what ways he wants man to actually follow.And what public image do you think God needs to be acceptable to people ?
Perhaps you are not aware that man has to change to God's ways and not the other way round ?
And are you saying that an almighty powerful God is quite helpless in the face of human interference with godly matters ?
We see that the 10 Commandments are exactly the same in Exodus 20 as they are in the NT for us today. If we don't trust God to preserve what is important for us we might as well be atheists.
Leviticus is almost what makes me want to cross the threshold into a complete rejection of God and his law because honestly so many of those laws, I break and from what I understand even thinking the thoughts is the same as committing the sin. The overwhelming guilt and sorrow has to have a plan behind it right? So what is the source of this justice and how did God come to make this his foundation?
Actually God has not changed his mind but he has made changes .Just as soon as god decides what ways he wants man to actually follow.
I mean, he has already changed his mind once, that why we got the NT.
Must be one of those faith things, like the trinity.Actually God has not changed his mind but he has made changes .
Yeah, the pick and choose mentality prevails.But the 10 Commandments were given at Sinai personally by God and are still in force today. I don't know what people are still waiting for !
