You lost me, what statement? Sorry I skipped over most of the discussion.

THE STATEMENT
posted by OldHippie:

"they were only images and not the real thing"

the statement was embedded in one of these connecting posts above ...


so which of the three "seperate" entites made that statment

the truth is that the Father and The Holy Spirit are not persons...so why do you worship them as such



Ceasar was also both God and Man...if Jesus prayed to him, Ceasar had the power to saved his life ..



Baal was God in the bible ...so Baal and Jesus are One?

No earthly idea, I don't know. It might take me a year to come up with the answer...by reading the Bible to see where that was implied by some passage.

I just remember it saying they were merely graven images with no power. False gods, is all. Much like the Romans Zeus and Mercury, et al. So I have no answer.

There is only ONE true God, Jehovah God. The true God offers salvation and life eternal through Jesus Christ, if you trust in Him. No other God can do this for a man. Jesus died on the true/cross that we might have Life and that more abundantly.

We have not received the spirti of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

( I Corinthians 1:12-15) niv

Biblegate is down, thought I could read on there the passage about "false gods."


As far as a false god knowing the date of judgment, I don't see how they could as they are just a statue of clay, metal, wood, whatever.

so a burning bush wouldn't know either?

right...God goes by many names...Jehovah, Jesus , Allah, Baal

Incorrect Funches.

"Jahovah" is a latin translation of YHWH. It is the same name, just in a different language/culture.

And no God doesn't go by Allah or Baal. Baal in general was a FALSE God people worshiped as God. Doesn't make him god just because someone(s) worships him as such.

Some translated/pronounce this as Yehowah, Yahweh, some Jehovah. But it is all the same name derived from "YHWH".

sorry Cowboy but "Toodygirl" is the one that claim that God name was Jehovah in the post.

as I always tried to teach you my young jedi padawan.. look before you leap

What does "Toodygirl" have to do with this? I quoted your statement. And in your statement you claimed God goes by many names. So I showed you no he does not. The three names people refer to God as, is just different translations/pronounciations of the same name.

I quoted "Toodygirl's" statement about Jehovah....so now let me see if you go preach to her the things you google cut and paste off those Satan Websites....if not ..then can we say...er..Hypocrite?

What in the world are you talking about Funches? I didn't copy/paste anything from any site except wikipedia for the exact translations of the different languages and what not, and the root meaning of those translation and how they came to be.

Cowboy...go preach it to "Toodygirl" ...or you're being a hypocrite.

What are you talking about? Hypocrite about what?

Hypocrite = saying something is wrong to do, then turning around and doing it.

1. Yes the 10 commandments is only specifically mentioned in one area. We no longer follow specifically the "10 commandments" in that exact sense. Jesus did though, teach all the 10 commandments through out his teachings.

3. It is an expression with it saying his name is "Jealous". Just as when it says his name is great.

Jeremiah 10:6
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

4. Yes God created evil when he gave us free will. He created the possibility of it. Doing his will is doing good and doing the opposite of his will is doing evil. Therefore him having a will and us having the possibility to do the opposite of his will created evil.

5. Doesn't state he is not omnipotent.

6. Does not state he lives in the dark. States the clouds and darkness are around him, symbolizing he is above us, he is up. Just as Heaven is generally referred to being up, in the clouds in the many mentions of Heaven and or someone(s) coming down from Heaven.

7. says absolutely nothing about Christmas trees being forbidden.

8. God didn't torture Job. He allowed Satan to test him.
