Please ratchet down the personal remarks, friends, and consider if your future posts to this thread adhere to this standard:

4.) While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. We will allow faith to be debated and discussed by a member only when there is no hostile, rude, or insulting opinion of another's faith. The same applies to international conflicts; hostile, rude or insulting opinons of one of the sides to an international conflict will not be allowed. These restrictions to an open debate or discussion also apply to material linked and/or quoted from another site. Our decision is final in these matters.

Darn! I was just about to post something rude, hostile and insulting. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to think it instead.

You will believe what you want even if God showed you himself.

No way.... I use to think there is this god but after I met it.. I know for sure it is not a god......

Well, then, you obviously didn't meet God - by your own admission.

Here, let me show you how to put together an argument:

The "it" you met is not a god (by your own admission)
God is a god (by definition)
Therefore, the "it" you met is not God

I personally don't believe there are in answers in the Bible but there are hundreds of questions. It is the questions we need to find to take them to the Holy Spirit for a definition. Let me quote you a few teachings from both the Bible and some LDS scriptures.
1 John 2: 27 The anointing which you have received of him abideth in you. And ye need not that any man teach you. But the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him.
BOM Moroni 10: 5 By the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
Here is some verses that need to be confluenced to enjoy the true meaning.
St. John 8: 31 If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.
32. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Doctrine and Covenants 93: 24 And truth is the knowledge of things as they were, as they are, and as they are to come.
St James 1: 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that given to all men liberally and not upbraid, and it shall be given him.
D & C 6: 11 If thou wilt enquire thou shalt know mysteries which are great and marvelous. Therefore, thou shalt exercise thy gift that thou mayest find out mysteries, that thou mayest bring many to the knowledge of the truth, yea, convince them of the error of their ways.
We must believe the Bible that we do not need any man to teach us. But if man can't teach us who can? The Holy Spirit is the only person who can teach us truth. All other people are only guessing and as the bible tells us; "They are ever searching and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Just know that God is a merciful God and this earth is not the only place where we might be converted to all truth.

1 Corinthians 15: 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Prove that the bible god is a god... Or are you afraid of it.....?

I believe you decided to interpret it the way you see it.. finally you are learning how others' view the bible.... Maybe it will visit you one day too... unless you are not one of its chosen ones....

Seeing as he is called God, I think that it's a pretty safe assumption.

American Heritage Dictionary:

4. One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed

There you go. The Bible God fits at least this definition of the word god, which is sufficent. Your turn.

I promiss you - you have had no effect whatsoever on my views on anything.

Christians are supposed to accept the bible on faith.

I think that's enough said.
