The best case for polytheism-satanism and God soldiers of God Satan is here.

You cannot believe in God if you yourself arent a God.

This is because the only way to determine something as God is to be greater than or equal to it. For example, system for determining truth must always be greater than or equal to the truth it determines. Likewise, the system for determining God must always be equal to or greater than God.

For example, the only way to observe a whole object is for observation to be greater than or equal to object.

Likewise, it is logically impossible to consider God as the only source of truth. For you to determine that God is the source of truth already by tautology requires you to be able to determine truth, thus negating God as the only source of truth.

People can either determine what is true or they cant determine what is true.

If they can determine what is true, then God isnt the only one who determines truth.

But if they cant determine truth, then they cannot determine God as truth.

This applies to morality as well. Humans can either determine what is morally right or they cant. If they can determine what is morally right, then God isnt the only one who can determine what is morally right. But if humans cant determine what is morally right, then they cannot determine that God is morally right.

Priapus is a god of fertility, protector of horticulture and viticulture. His statue, holding a wooden sickle in his hand, was used in the Roman gardens as scarecrow, and his enormous penis as a threat against thieves.

God sometimes talks about men with large penises.
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. Ezekiel 23:20

It is when it is recognised that the bible itself  speaks of gods plural multiple time and Christians  deny it. and that even the biblical god tells his own followers  " do not revile the gods or princes and kings" of other nations. 

Who was the biblical god sitting amongst when the bible speaks of him " sitting among the council of gods"?
Who is the biblical god speaking of when he states "they have become gods like us"?
Didn't the god of the Bible tell Moses that he is also a god?


Christians  attempt to get around this BIBLICAL fact by inventing the so called "trinity".

I'm guessing that there will be more than one Interventionist Super-Intelligence cruising the Universe.

Possibly three.

Maybe more.

Christianity feeds into the mythology that there is more than one God. The trinity describes three.

Trinity is a middle English word, derived from the Latin trinitas.

Nothing remotely Semitic or Hebrew about the word.

So clearly made up later by Europeans.

As was most of modern Christianity.

Nope. Constantine and his cadre of "translators," whose skill with ancient Greek and Hebrew cultures, and only secondarily with their languages [because the former creates the latter, not the other way around] has been suspect then and now, and they were hardly European. Go East, young man. And South. let alone their knowledge of Latin by conquest; their conquest, you will recall, let alone the Roman conquest of Europe, which it still is, by the way.
Net result, we have a Bible today that is a man-made choice of books, and rejection of others, on the basis of... [we don't really know, given that Constantine, then, was, perhaps a brand of Christianity of his own making just to put to rest the conflict within his own empire - and, therefore, perhaps for purposes of his own success as an emperor - not the best motive in the world to create a handbook.
I sound like I think the Bible is a pile of fluff. I don't, and Malichi, and James, give us reason to hope there is a method to employ to find the Truth, capital T. I mean by that, Truth as God understands and uses it and dispenses it to man. Tenth chapter of Malachi; 5th chapter of James. All of both, not selected verses. Context is king, along with a lot of reading, pondering, and prayer. Belittle it, if y'all will, but it is the path to understanding more than any magic anyone else would conjure.

The bible is what it has become.

Who knows if it is an accurate reinterpretation, transcription, translation of historical fact, folklore or fanciful hypothesis.

Constantine and his cadre of translators were 300 years too late.

So context is unachievable unless the Big Guy does a fly by and puts the record straight.

And I was simply pointing out that modern Christianity and Trinity are clearly of much later European production.

The word 'trinity' appears nowhere in the Bible; the concept was finalized at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE after years of debate. It was an attempt to articulate Christianity's belief in the oneness of God with their claims about Jesus and their experiences of the spirit.

As I stated, the word trinity is of Middle English origin, from somewhere between the 11th to the 15th centuries AD...So quite obviously won't be found in Ancient Semitic or Hebrew scripture.

"Bible" is also of Middle English origin.

So the Council of Nicaea sat in Bithynia and was headed by a Roman Serb, and with the help of a cadre of translators attempted to make sense of several hundred years of Chinese whispers...(Best of luck Guys)

Did you know that Vladimir the Great spread Christianity throughout Russia during the 9th century AD.

Funny, seeing as the Name Russia wasn't used until the 16th century AD, and the word Christianity is also of Middle English origin.


OK, so a whole lot of cross referencing going on...But nonetheless exemplifies the inevitability of  inconsistencies in later day versions of 2000 to 3000 year old texts.

That's if such texts were actually factual rather than just exaggerated word of mouth recollections.

Notwithstanding that the MANGOD principle wasn't something new, anyway...Just reinvented.

Did not read my references, did you? Two whole chapters. Big wow. The two, together, outline exactly how to call on Dad for confirmation of what's what. We don't have to wait for a fly-by.  He already knows the real content and intent of a sincere heart wanting to know stuff we have a hard time figuring out for ourselves, but it takes time to learn how to talk to Dad to convince him to take us seriously in our questions. He doesn't respond much if our approach to him is so-so. He wants a sincere heart, and real intent. That's a little different that just asking the time of day.  He wants effort on our part, and that, consistently. He will not respond to anything less. But if less is replaced by more effort, he will respond by tyke power of the Holy Spirit, and that effect is unmistakable.

But, "Jesus Christ" Ιησούς Χριστος - is not 3rd century  M.E., but 1st century Greek, and derived from earlier OT Hebrew, Yeshua, and earlier Greek, χπιω [chrio] meaning  "to anoint," and from Hebrew [Masiah] - Messiah - meaning one who is anointed. Such verbiage was in common use during the Christ's lifetime among his followers and among the Jewish Pharisees, so, your alleged 3rd century jargon is just that. Tells me Constatine's translators in the 3rd century  were trying dictionay-to-dictionary translation, and that never works well, not even now, if the translators are dumb to the historic cultures involved. Dictionaries are piss-poor textbooks on culture.

@Best.Korea
You cannot believe in God if you yourself arent a God.
Belief, alone, imposes no demand for a person's action, which makes belief "any shyte you want to hear" palatable without necessity of acting on the shyte. So much for belief..
Faith, on the other hand, demands action on the  " ...the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" [Hebrew's 11: 1] Paul is telling us belief is not the partner of faith, but something less than substantial, but more than belief Faith in something demands it be acted on, even if we cannot fully see what the outcome will be. Therefore, while belief in God is certainly a step in the right direction, even for someone who has not seen or heard, or felt him, these are common attributes of faith, even by someone who does not know God, but desires to haves kinship with him. And following their initial encounter, though hoped for, but unseen, that kinship grows, and we begin to understand what he is, how he is, and why he is, even though we are far from his equal.

In order to believe, you have to know what you believe in. People cannot know God, thus people cannot believe in God.

So, call on Dad for me and send him over to my place...I assume that he already knows the Address.


And as I stated, Middle English didn't develop until a thousand years later.

Just pointing out Faux. that modern data doesn't necessarily validate archaic texts...Just reinvents them relative to the expectations of  the reviewer...Irrespective of whether it be a 300 year, or 1300 year exercise... If I were to ask you tomorrow, to repeat this paragraph unaided and unpractised, how much would you accurately remember...And what if 300 years from now the same question were to asked of a Chinese speaker.

So who was the person who followed Jesus about, jotting down his exact words...And where are the original copies...And in what language were they written.

And can you send me a copy of the first Greek translation so that I can verify that it is accurate.

The Gospels were first written in Aramaic by the disciples who followed Jesus. It was then translated into Greek to reach the Roman population.
