And the only evidence you have is in your head. Let me guess; God told you?

When the sun shines I don't have to think "the sun shines." The evidence is clear that the sun shines. I will grant that my mind and spirit receive the evidence just as the mind receives the evidence from the eyes that the sun shines but that does not mean that the mind has to think about it.

If we seek the God of Israel, the Creator with all our heart, there is no reason we cant find the true religion.

You are correct, but then again Jesus taught--FEW will find the road that leads to life(eternal).

The God of Israel----the almighty true God--Served by Noah,Abraham,Moses,David,Elijah,Daniel, etc--- every Israelite that ever lived and served the true God served a single being God named YHWH(Jehovah). that is an undisputable fact of history.

I know, right? Lol. It's not as if over fully half of the human race isn't a member of one of the many religions that worship the Abrahamic god.

There is one religion that serves the true God of Abraham and serves Jesus as king. The rest fall into this dilemma- 1 cor 1:10-- 2 cor 11:12-15)--- Its as Jesus taught--- Few find the road that leads to eternal life---
If its the basic same #,s we find for the majority of Gods written word-- 1% = righteous--99% = wicked. 1% is about( FEW).

Satan has gotten parents to hand down false god worship and pagan practices all throughout mankinds existence. Yet all believe they serve the true God.

Yeah, yeah. Almost everyone who follows an Abrahamic religion thinks it's the "one true faith" and blame some adversarial figure for "misleading" the others. It's all the same nonsense.

That is what I was answering. I am tired of such statements.

There is no "J" in ancient Hebrew.

That's a dual prophecy. Some of it is about Israel and his ascension. Some about his return. I will grant it is a very confusing prophecy. IMO the most hard to figure in the entire Bible. I would recommend any of the great commentators as they all have the same interpretation in general.

"Interpretation" is code for "how can I finagle this so that the layman won't find it completely moronic and will still accept it?"... It's pure nonsense.

Denial of interpretation is code for "my interpretation is inconvenient for your pet excuse for dismissal". The problem is that still leaves you 740,000 words and 2000 prophecies you have no excuse to dismiss. However on my side is the fact interpretation must take place and almost all of the most respected commentators throughout the ages have similar interpretations on those verses. That's code for convergent confirmation.

Mixing my own words with those of A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA from the beginning of the BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS.....Man's faith is ever changing because as man develops on this spiritual journey surely his changing lifestyle and beliefs dictate his changing faith. Religion becomes a problem when man tries to put a label to a specific faith which can not work since man's faith is ever changing. Love, spirituality, and lack of ego is the key to any faith or religion, but then again those are my words. What ever you believe is the right way to get where your going. We all know the story of faith as a mountain. Every person is climbing a mountain of faith in which every person is taking a different path. No matter the difference in path everybody will eventually get to the top. There is no wrong way to get where we are going. The only person who is wrong is the person running around the bottom of the mountain yelling at everyone telling them their religion is wrong.

I believe that eventuality will not be good enough if the person is wandering around the mountain aimlessly. The problem is that a person does not have forever to do this. I believe that Jesus makes it quite clear that once the direct route to God by Jesus is offered to all people the end will come and there will be basically two groups of people: those who received Jesus as Savior and those who did not.

It is possible for more than one to be right as many religions share common teachings in one way or another.
