Which God is the God?

History 108 3/4

Mostly all people doubt the Holy Word of God, The Bible.

But This little History lesson will enlighten all.

It starts with the Hittites. And a lack of evidence they ever existed. Then in 1908 a Archaeological discovery was made by John Garstang. The 400 year civilization of the Hittites Empire (1600-1200 BC). Since then so much has been discovered about the Hittite Empire, you can study all you want about them.

And it’s not just The Hittite evidence. All kinds off engraved stones or cylinders from other ancient civilizations verify other Biblical accounts. The Taylor Prism confirms the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem that the Bible describes in 2 Kings 19-19, 2 Chronicles 32, and Isaiah 36-37.

The discovery of the Tel Dan Stele confirms the existence of Israel’s King David. The Cyrus Cylinder records Cyrus of Persia’s decree that allowed Babylonian captives to return to their homes and resume their religious practices. The Moabite Stone proves the events of 2 Kings 3. This stone not only chronicles the rebellion led by Mesha King of Moab but even mentions the name Yahweh.

Jewish and Roman historians referred to the life and works of Jesus. Josephus wrote about Jesus’ miracles. And Pliny the Younger, an ancient ruler, recorded that Christians in his province maintained their belief in and the worship of Jesus even when faced with death. We have evidence that the Gospels were written by apostles or at least in cooperation with them. Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp, who was a disciple of the apostle John, Writes: as far as someone inserting into the Bible what they felt like. The Dead Sea Scrolls put that idea to rest. The earliest copies of the New Testament date back to 114 AD.

The Holy Bible 100% accurate.

Earth’s Mass is 6.6 Sextillion tons. What holds it up?

Nothing! It spins on its axis at 1000 miles per hour.

As it hurtles through space in it’s orbit around the Sun.

Nothing = GOD!

For those of you who say, There is no God,Jesus, Sky Daddy, Satan, or Christians. Please go to Biblical Archeology And read some of what you find there. It proves that God is 100% Real. And so is His Holy Word The Bible.Just check out the below sites.

There is more joy in Jesus in one day.

Than there is in the World 365/24/7

I know, I tried them both.

Numbers 6:24-26

BTW, Sir Isaac Newton, The father of modern physics, was a committed Christian who

Claimed the Universe’s orderliness came from its Creator.

It was actually that question which was most instrumental in my conversion from Christian to atheist/agnostic.

It brought forth this question:

What is the likelihood of one religion or belief system believing in the 'right' God and every other religion being wrong... vs... ALL of them being wrong? It's pretty easy to see that there is no religion or belief system on the planet that knows the true God... if there even is such a thing.

My thinking for if there is a God is:

If there is a God, he is powerless to do anything on this planet. Prayers are answered randomly, not at all, or completely opposite. With everything, you can explain it by having your prayers answered, being patient, or using struggles to build yourself.

If there is a God who is powerful enough to do something on this planet, he is cruel and indifferent. Some of the best people in the world go through the cruelest things. You cannot say that a child in sub-Saharan Africa dying of starvation or AIDS had sin in their life.

In my experience with God and religion... one word has stood out to me what God is... INDIFFERENT! He--if he exists--could not care less about people... even his most devout followers. If he was our real father, he would be classified as a dead-beat dad in any family court in the world.

Finally, onto heaven, hell, and afterlife. Do you remember where you were when JFK was assassinated? Everyone who was alive and aware does. I don't. That is the same place you will be when you die... completely unaware, nothingness.

Pretty sad... but that is what makes this life worth living! To love, to experience, to better the world and those around you! You do not need religion or a belief system to be a good person!

For questions about God? There are no answers. None.. zero.. zip that can be verified or proven. If there is a God.... he either doesn't care how you live your life and will welcome you with open arms... or he is a rule-bound pedantic tyrant who will never be appeased no matter what you call him or what rituals you perform.

Edit: @ Chicago Bob. There are no independent non-religious sources that corroborate what you say. The Old Testament came out of Iron Age Judah circa 500 BCE as an amalgamation of many legends and stories... many of which are also present in the Koran. The New Testament was written in the last 1st century and was significantly whittled down by successive churches. Less than half of Paul's Epistles can be attributed to the one author.

There can only be one true God (i.e., Creator). This must be so because the finite universe had to begin by the force of an infinite will. As such, there could be no other creators outside the infinite, as this would imply their limitedness, and thus their need to have a beginning, and as such could only actually be the result of the creative will of the infinite. Thus, all things leading back to an actual infinite beginning.

All other gods, if they be real and not imagined, would be one of: a) pure spirits (angels or demons), b) deified heroic human persons, or c) anthropomorphized forces of nature. All these, of course, are actually creations of the one Creator God.

Different religions believe different things about this Creator. For example, Allah is a very different looking Creator than Yahweh, and different again than Brahma.

I personally believe in the personal Creator God, Yahweh, who wants to have a loving relationship with His creatures. I observe the principle of love, of self-sharing, both intentional and unintentional, in the physical universe. It permeates. Therefore, it makes sense to me that the origin of this would be a loving, self-sharing Creator.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are a dangerous non-Christian mind-control cult. Jehovah is not the name of God; that word didn't even exist until about the 13th century. It's a very bad translation of the Hebrew tetragrammaton YHWH, which is probably best pronounced Yah'weh meaning "I am".

What I find most interesting is that you "learned to be an Atheist". I find this to be the case most of the time. God calls us by his grace, and I do have the feeling He is calling you.

There is only one God, who is our Father; that is how Jesus taught us to pray.

The Bible answers your question at Psalms 83:18 (old King James version)

Also read Jesus' prayer at St.John chapter 17.

I call him Jehovah.

His name has been in many historical documents and even statues.

The well known song Hallelujah literally means "Hail Jehovah".

Jehovah's Witnesses will always use the bible for answers.

Even the King James Version (the most popular version of the bible) has the name Jehovah.

Psalms 83:18 of the King James Bible states JEHOVAH IS THE MOST HIGH GOD OVER ALL THE EARTH..

I do not believe in the Super Empirical and all that that entails. (Mono-, Heno-, or Poly-theistic deities, Ghosts, ghouls, spirits demons, sentient mountains, trees, pools, Realian aliens etc.) I see no evidence anywhere that will convince me.

“When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, 'Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?”

― Quentin Crisp,

There's only one God, that's God. Jehovah is a name for God, not another God. Allah is God in another language, etc.

No you were not Christian. Christians...real Christians know God making this question impossible

you perhaps played at Christianity, but when you became bored with it, you put it on the shelf liker all of your other toys
