What is the position or belief of each and every person visiting this thread and crossing by this post?
I'd like people to state what they consider themselves to be and their position(s) please!
I am an Anti-Biblical Theist, Monotheist.
I would like people who believe in the Old Testament Literally, symbolically, Old but not New, New Testament Only, all the variants to clarify what you consider yourselves to be or hold to?
I reject the God described in very important sections of the Jewish Biblical scriptures and implied in the Christian Scriptures.
I fully reject the descriptions given of "YHWH" in their literal forms and the statements attributed to YHWH such as the generational punishing of children for crimes and sins of parents which is wholly unjust and vile.
What are you each and why? What did you start as and move into and feel yourself being pushed towards potentially?
I've wondered a similar thing in my other recent thread:
Moving Towards Atheism or Theism? Shifts, New Beliefs, Etc.
I just don't understand how people can hold on to something they say they are reading which goes against so much of our human common sense and calculations about right and wrong, just and unjust, real and unreal?
There are other more sophisticated and sterile, improved and cleaned up models out there in the Upanishads, Prajnaparamita Sutras, and Qur'an even.
In my view, however religious you think you are, if you think there is a humanoid coming down in a cloud as shown in my earlier post above where I show:
Bible Gateway passage: Exodus 34:1-28 - New International Version
You have No God, since what you believe is wholly imaginary cartoonism, and its hard to believe you even insist on claiming to believe what should not be even possible to just believe since the concept is so ridiculous and you have not seen any such thing nor should you ever worship such a humanoid form if you can avoid doing so!
I call for you to abandon this blasphemous and poorly conceived God, the religion of Jacob wrestling a God or Angel and getting the name Isra El (Wrestles With God).
Abandon this poor conception of YHWH! It is tied to crucial parts of the Bible, so abandon those parts and abandon that deluded scripture!
Read the other scriptures and texts and see their superiority!
The Upanishads, The Prajnaparamita Sutras, the Qur'an at
www.islamawakened.com/quran and abandon Man-God literalism, believe in an Abstract Non-Man God like the Power behind Nature and Reality, not a humanoid coming down in clouds like the Monkey King.
