Paul calls his God Abba, the Aramaic word for God the Father, and I believe Jesus says the same in the Gospel, just can't remember the exact passages.
But God can't really have a name, cuz that would mean something before him named him that name. phrases and titles can be just about anything...
I don't think the Paulicians would have cared if they got married to someone from a different religion, as long as that person wasn't against the Paulician movement. They certainly intermarried with Muslims alot, cuz they were such strong allies.
The meaning of marriage to my religion had...
That's the very reason why I don't believe in organized churches. All they do is divide the central teachings of Christ and make them out to be something they're not. Jesus did not have an organized anything, he simply taught the crowds wherever he wanted to, and they would sit down to listen...
I don't have some universal truth and think everyone else is wrong, I just want to be me; my religion is my own personal truth. I don't expect anyone to believe or listen to what I have to say, because I'll stay strong in my path whether I'm alone or with millions of followers by my side. I'm...
Firdaus, your misunderstanding my concept of theology.
In a monotheistic setting which you profess, there is one eternal God right? (which is God A) and so that would eliminate the possibility for God B right?
Now lets look at theology from a different perspective other than yours. Just...
you won't be able to find an excuse for this god's insane behavior here:
...there came forth little children
out of the city, and mocked him
[Elijah]...and he cursed them
in the name of the Lord. And
there came forth two she-bears...
only a jealous god would say "There is no god but me!"
Now watch what he says and tell me this is not extremely suspicious?
I the Lord your God am a jealous
God (Exodus 20:5)....for the Lord,
Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous
God (Exodus 34:14).
He is a Jealous God; He will not...
the one above was always in danger of being defeated by another one, such as Zeus defeating his father Kronos. It was really the Universe itself that was "God," to most polytheistic cultures, and those beings attributed to be "gods and goddesses" were also creations of the Universal forces...
but isn't seyorni correct in saying your "free democracy" and its ethical policies are in direct contrast to the pacifist/pietist teachings of Jesus? Especially the innocent. No life is worth taking, no matter how much freedom you profess to attain. Do you know how selfishly evil this "free...
I didn't know LDS believed Jehovah was "Jesus," but not God the Father? So is LDS believing in a trinity at all?
According to my tradition, Jehovah is Satan, the Evil principle. God the Father is the Transcendant, the Good principle. Jesus is the Father's messenger into this world to purchase...
Ok how could God A not still be Allmighty, if there exists a God B or God C etc. that is equally Allmighty?
God A would not be limited if there exists Another; It's very possible and understandable for there to be multiple eternal principles such as eternal opposites like: light/dark...
Hasn't science always gone hand in hand with religion? especially with ancient cultures. I also believe the Abrahamic religions have their sciences too. I know Islam values science....
what about pagans, polytheists, and dualists though? we certainly don't believe God is one, or religion is one...but that doesn't mean we don't have similar principles to agree upon. :)
