Why do you believe in the biblical God?

 

[Spice]

The Genesis version of God was a great starting point for me. Especially the first few chapters, but all of Genesis I have been able to adapt to.

The God of Job appears to be cruel, and yet when placed within the parameters of my beliefs concerning Satan and reincarnation, He fits perfectly, but only as an exaggeration useful for emphasis.

The God that "inspired" Solomon, The Preacher, is also a version I relate to. The book of Ecclesiastes is my favorite since it's poetical yet pretty straight forward. This description is most honest to my vision of God, I think.

Of the Gospels I find myself turning to Matthew the most, but occasionally a bit of John. This version of God has many attributes I hold near. And though I don't see Jesus as God, I do see him as one with a very special understanding and connection. He is my Savior in the Christian sense, as his teachings are the foundations of my beliefs.

I'm not a fan of Paul's in the least, but I've read and studied his letters and those of his followers and have found bits and pieces that I feel go along with the God in my heart.

The Letter of James is very important to me. He writes to the disporia of Judea, and though I am not an ethnic Jew, and not a convert to Judaism, I feel a great connection to much of what I have discovered in study and contemplation of their faith.

I've read and studied Revelation but it does little to add to or support my faith, so I rely on it very seldom.

So, YES, I do believe in the God of the Bible, but in my own interpretation and understanding.

As Jews, Quakers, and Hindus believe, God is IN each of us, and so I bow, or honor, God within all by saying:

Namaste

i am impressed of your knowledge of the Bible. I also like your interpretation. I am inspired by you

I also believe in God of the Bible. but at the same time i believe that God has no religion and is beyond religion

soon i shall read the whole Bible

Yes ! you are correct. God is within us. Because God is everywhere. Namaste

 

[Tinkerpeach]

Because that’s the God I prayed to and He answered me in His own way.

That was all I needed.

 

[Kathryn]

I love and believe in God because He loves and believes in me. He pursues me. It's difficult to reject someone who loves you so completely.

I believe because of the Bible and that life exists as told in the Bible.

My belief of G-d is somewhat similar to the G-d of Tanakh, Yeshua never claimed to be God per se, so no to the NT-God a Pauline-Christendom's wrong concept, please, right?

The God in the Hebrew-Aramaic scriptures (or as some would call the "Old Testament") is the God that Jesus worshipped.

I'd love for you to explain in English simple enough for me to understand what you mean by that. please -- English that makes sense to an English-speaking person. Translated from English to English, please, yes, ok?

 

[ChristineM]

No. According to the Abrahamic concept there can be only one

Out of curiosity, do you fine the word "Tanakh" difficult to remember and or pronounce, or do you simply deem the term onerous or illegitimate because it is the Jewish designation for their own scripture?

I agree that the Pauline-Christians wrongly use the word "Old Testament" instead of "Tanakh" and or Torah , perhaps inwardly they realize that they are not covered in the Abrahamic Covenant with G-d and or Moses Covenant that renewed the one he had made with Abraham , it was for the truthful Israelites and not repeat not with gentiles, right, please?

The Bible gives us history of things that tells us how life began, The Bible also tells us of the future things that will happen as the world gets closer to the end. Those things God says will happen are happening now. God says the closer we get the world will get worse and worse and if you pay attention to the world it is getting worse everyday.

 

[paarsurrey]

Why do you believe in the biblical God?

I believe in One G-d whom Abraham and Noah believed in and followed, and reject the Pauline-Trinity, please, right?

We believe in the One True God not as an act of human will but as an answer to God who Calls us first, Said that. The Sacred Scripture contained in the Writtings of The Prophets of the People of Israel and contained in the writtings of the Apostles are perfectly Consistent. the very Trinity is prefigurated in the Genesis as the Three that visited Abraham in the Midle of the Day. Consistency of the Scripture that was written through centuries is not easilly achievable, in fact no other writting has reached that Consistency, it is superhuman in that aspect. The very Fact that the jews rejected the Messiah is anounced in their Very Scripture, just read the book of Daniel. The very fact that there were going to be false prophets claiming different teachings in the Name of God is already prophetized in the writtins of hte Apostles, Saint Paul denies thus the Qur'an before it was even written. The Same Saint John Apostle who shows that the AntiChrists are those who deny the Son.

Biblical past is myth, not history. Biblical future is vague.

Consistency or confirmation bias?
