Perhaps, it has something to do with the English language.
In Bible speak, God and Lord are just titles. God YHWH makes Moses a 'god' to his brother Aaron - Exodus 7:1
Aaron was directed by Moses who was directed by God YHWH. God gave the authority from Moses to Aaron.
So, in a sense...
I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time understanding. First of all, a god is not the same thing as a lord. You can have a lord who is not a god.
But also, you can't really say there are many gods and then turn around and say there is but one God. Either there is none, or just one, or more than...
There are 'many gods, many lords', ( please see 1st Corinthians 8:5-6; Philippians3:19; Psalm 82 ) but to Christians there is but one God, the Father, ...and one Lord Jesus Christ..... 1st Timothy 2:5; Matthew 23:9
In other words, there is only one ALL MIGHTY ( Almighty God YHWH )
As posted earlier, I do not use scripture to condemn you. According to the scriptures, we are already condemned by going against the scriptures that are in disagreement with us (see John 3:36; Hebrews 11:6; Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:3-4). If you feel condemned by the scriptures shared with you...
Your response here...
Well that is not true. Your question was answered in the very post you were quoting from. If you bothered to read what was posted to you in the scriptures you would know this. Here let me re-post it again for you here.
Hope this is helpful. You are better off reading what...
Scripture is defined in 2 Timothy 3:16 as being inspired by God or God breathed through men. That is God gives His Word to men to give to the world in spoken and written form. That is the bibles definition of what sin is. The new testament scriptures teach that Jesus is God and Gods son and our...
I agree with you concerning selfish desires of the flesh. Yet, there are spiritual desires which are appropriate; the desire to love God, please God, and dwell in His Presence forever. Desires of this type are in alignment with God’s will.
I'll continue to disagree on the basis that its a selfish motive. Its flesh that desires things. It reminds me of:
"The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing." Eccl. 1:8
"...their god is their stomach..." Philippians3:19
Thank you for your reply.
In Scripture, Jesus says his ' sheep ' would ' hear ' his voice. ( listen once they hear it )
So, a baby does Not know of God's existence, but does seem that we have leanings/ towards spiritual things.
Consider: as the people migrated away from ancient Babylon they...
Can we worship others unknowingly?”
Yes, whatever takes priority in a person’s life.
Paul said this at Philippians3:19: “Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.”
The Bible teaches the worship of only one God.
Jehovah is the Almighty God, the only true God, the Creator. As such, he requires exclusive devotion sharing his glory with no one. (Isaiah 42:8) (Exodus 34:14) (Revelation 4:11)
Jesus rendered exclusive devotion and worship to his Father...
Another person who assumes wrongly.
Because you think you've found the one true religion don't assume those who aren't in the same religion don't find happiness.
You are here because your parents made you.
You don't know there is life after death. You just hope there is and have no proof.
I...
So do I....its a good gauge on whether one has the truth or a cheap, unfulfilling imitation IMO....
Atheists substitute other things for religion but operate on the same foundation...everyone "worships" something or someone, but may not recognize what they do as "worship". It is anything that...
You are sinning!
There. Told ya.
Seriously though, any lust is sin.
Here is yours, in the Bible. (Philippians3:19) . . .their god is their belly. . .
In this case, your god is your tongue. :p
I'm open to opposing arguments.
Seems as if 'one can have a religion without a belief in a god or goddess' because some people's god is their belly.
' belly as god ' I find according to Philippians3:19.
Then, it does seem that some people just look in the mirror and see their god.
Theists love to throw around the word "prove". Ya kaint prove evilution. Ya kaint prove there aint no God. Yadda yadda yadda.
When you prove that God didn't created everything Last Thursday, then I will accept the "prove" challenge.
Until then, I will go with evidence. The evidence is...
Atheism can Not prove there is No God, thus it is the 'exercise of faith' in the non-existence of God or gods.
Moses was ' god ' to Pharaoh - Exodus 7th chapter.
The judges of Psalms 82 were human judges referred to as ' gods ' because they were to judge by using God's standards in which to...
