You are talking about false gods. Your whole perception is from the angle that all gods are false. You cannot assume this. Just because man creates many gods, doesn't mean every god is false. God has periodically revealed himself through the ages to people. But man tends to reject it, and change...
What is good as opposed to evil? Good, or righteousness is living the right way, as set out by God. Evil, or wickedness is living the wrong way, as set out by the devil. A good act will lead to good consequences, not just for ourselves but for the whole. An evil act will lead to bad consequences...
Psalm 82:6
"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
John 10:34-36
"34 Jesus answered them, Is it notwritten in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom...
Psalm 82:6 we are children of the Most High. Most High what? The most high God. So there are other gods? Though there are gods that are many, there is only one God we worship.
I also posted those scripture to show god is merely a title, not a name. The capital 'G' shows God is the most high...
John 1:1-3,10-12, 14
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the...
Psalms 82:1,6
"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judge the among the gods...I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
John 10:34-36
"Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the...
I think you need to read the rest of my comment which explains how God can be a God of justice and mercy at the same time without contradiction. Don't just read one line. Mercy has become justified by Jesus, an intercessor.
if we don't accept Gods plan of mercy then we have to live under the...
Firstly, when Jesus in the meridian of time came, he fulfilled his first mission as a Savior. When he returns he will return in all his glory and destroy the wicked Gentile nations for causing the world to sin. Israel will have been gathered by then, and the Messiah will stand upon mount Olivet...
Micah 4:1
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
Firstly, I am guessing you are of the house of Judah? I am Latter-day Saint...
The jihadist organisation was a vehicle used by the secular element as I mentioned, so yes it was always a jihadist movement, but did not have such an impact until Bakr used his communist practises of infiltration, fear, manipulation, propaganda, murder, and so forth, to gain cities. You can...
You say they were likely Islamists, but are you sure? Samir Abd Muhammad al-Khlifawi, known in ISIS circles as Haji Bakr, was a former military leader in Saddam's Iraq, and was considered mastermind of the formation of ISIS, and he was killed by rebels in January 2014 in Raqqa. Papers later...
I know what you are asking. But it doesn't matter how, it just matters that God the Father has saved you by using an intermediary. Because man fell, they cannot be saved by the laws of justice; and God must administer justice, so saving us by justice is out of the question, because man willingly...
If God the Father was incapable of saving us, he would not have sent his Only Begotten. No man comes to the Father but by me, Christ said. He is the way, the truth, and the life.
When I say the lesser evil, I mean the less tyrannical regime as opposed to a harsher regime. What I call good, is liberty. That's my measurement scale folks.
Drug trafficking thrives in socialist countries funnily enough. Then why not use them to overthrow the tyrants who threaten peace in the world? I think it's a brilliant idea. Then the new, hopefully more proactive government, can manage their own affairs.
Yes but there are a lack of options sometimes. It is better to have a tyrannical government than no government at all, and sometimes the lesser tyrannical system must be supported until a better option comes.
Let's face it, America and other western countries have a mixed agenda, which is why there is so much division and less tolerance between political parties. There are both liberty lovers and socialists in the governments. See how John Bachtell of the Communist Party USA openly uses Democrats to...
I agree that when a foreign nation favours one side in a conflict of a country like Syria, or any other, it can cause greater division in that country as the opposing view rebels, and this principle applies to whatever political stance the interfering foreigners have, whether democratic or...
