Which God is real?

The New Testament is about 1700 years old (in its current form). Other religions (Greek and Roman mythology) had religious texts older than that describing their deities and Gods. So why don’t people still believe in those Gods? Why is Christianity (and Islam) is powerfully convinced that there God is the ‘one’ when we’ve been through this so many times in history? Oh, and please dont’ give…the bible says so answers. I want to know your thoughts!

Answer #1

~~Compare all the world’s different sacred writings and look at how these writing define the origins of man/fall of man/sin/redemption/morality/love/hate/etc and you will see that most countries, with the exception to Islamic nations, pattern their laws after the Bible. ~~

The Bible’s truths about our fallen nature & demons and their influence on mankind is overwhelmingly evident when you turn on the TV/Internet/Billboards/books/media in general. You can clearly see the anti-God attitudes/mocking/hate/deceptions/promotion of immorality/pro-gay/pro abortion/anti-Bible agenda all around you.

pro abortion? I mostly see anti abortion. & what’s wrong with pro-gay? The bible is advertised almost all over, 24-7. It has it’s own TV channel, isles in stores. You’ve a right to advertise what you believe & follow, & so do we, deal with it. No body is out to get your religion. Just because they don’t believe in the same thing as you does not mean their rebelling. If anyone is rebelling it would be Christianity & other such religions that were originally made out of rebellion of the Paleolithic Goddess(es) & beliefs.

~~Now compare the nature of God/prophets/archeological evidences/fulfilled prophecies/historical evidences/changed lives/etc and you will see that Christianity & the Bible stand alone. ~~ Wrong again. Oracle at Delphi, Aztec, Raymond Lully, Yorkshire Witch Mother, Apollonius of Tyana, Merlin(not to be mistaken for the King Arthur Merlin. The original merlin was a mad man, hence his title, Merlin meaning wild man-if I recollect correctly). Charles Willams, said to be a better prophet than Nostradamus Mayan. Mayan being untouchable, even by the bible. Every single prophet so far has been fulfilled. & Unlike the bible, it is clear, down to the name & down to a very specific date on which their prophets will happen.

~~All other beliefs are man’s futile attempt to be acceptable to their deity. While Christianity is God coming down to mankind (knowing we were incapable to be good enough for God’s perfect standard). Christ lived the perfect/sinless life that we could never live and He died a horrible death yet rose again from the dead thereby proving Himself to be not just a man but God & man.~~ Again, that’s your views & beliefs. A lot of religions don’t seek to be accepted by their God(dess), rather, believe that they are, hence the fact that they are of their creation, yet will praise & worship them none the less as Christianity does they God. As for Jesus living a sinless life, ancient scripture speak of him being quite the trouble maker. Read the Gospel Of Thomas

~~The problem is that many are either blinded to the truth by the demonic realm OR they don’t want to change their sinful lifestyle OR they will not examine the vast claims and evidences of the Bible’s validity OR they out of fear or comfort (and often due to their upbringing) reject the Bible wholesale without checking it out in an unbiased manner OR reject it for fear of being excommunicated from their religion/family/friends/life. ~~

You’ve things completely turned around there dear. Many people believe in the bible out of fear. That was one of the original ways to get people to believe & worship, & it still goes on to this day(old habits die hard you know). They believe the bible out of fear. People are constantly forced into the religion out of fear of rejection as well. The mainstream religion is Christianity, people stay to it so they wont be rejected by other people, their friends, or even their own family. Plus, you’ve the people who go to it because the don’t’ know what to believe in so they decide to dedicate their selves to the bible just incase there is a heaven or hell, which is truly sad. You see, people do not step outside the biblical creed out of fear, it’s fear that makes them turn to it. People step outside the Christian do it because they’ve overcame their fear.

~~Your lack of belief in God doesn’t somehow make God disappear. He is God alone and He loves you. But He’s the perfect Father & He’s the perfect judge. You choose which one He will be to you! Either God is who He said He was or He is a liar. This is the eternal question and those that say He’s false better make absolutely/positively sure they have checked all the evidences they can!~~

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Epicurus

As well as your belief in a God doesn’t make it real. If there is a God, or Gods, a Goddess, or Goddesses, or both, then there is, if not, there’s not. Belief doesn’t change a d@mn thing, but it is still our choice to choose what we believe in.

& what evidence are you referring to & to what God? The biblical God? The bible? The bible was written by men, & the biblical God came after hundreds of other Gods & Goddesses. The very first being the Earth Goddess. Perhaps evidence of her existence being the earth? What about the river goddess Shannon? She exist because the river exist? If not, why not? It’s the same saying the biblical god exist because of the bible-that was written by men. At least it can be proved that the earth & river Shannon were not man made. Wouldn’t that make them more tangible.

Answer #2

the Christian god. the Origanal GOD the REAL god!!

Answer #3

You are forgetting about the 4000 years of Old Testament history, in addition to the 2000 years of New.

Answer #4

what ever one you belive in

Answer #5

The Christian God is not the original God. See the question…it is 1700 years old (documented)…older of course in the Old Testament. You didn’t answer the question at all.

Answer #6

None of them, problem solved.

Answer #7

No moral values??? So I take it genocides, war, prejudice, cannibalism, & a strive to wipe out all individuality is of morals? Not to mention when Christianity & Jews practices human sacrifice of women & children(even infants) is also of moral along with the night the streets ran red with sheep blood? Christianity has the darkest & most violent history than any other religion, an abysmal of macabre’s & horrors, even worst than voodoo(don’t mistake that with Satanism, that was of Christian creation. Satanism has not a thing to do with the occult, it is nothing more than the other part of Christianity) or any “primitive” religions, & I do include Mayan & Aztec. Don’t criticize on a subject you know nothing about, you will loose.

Answer #9

Simple: it boils down to whether one believes the Bible is the inspired, infallable, word of God or not - I certainly know who and in whom I believe - see John 3 : 16 - everyones choice to accept or reject, no riding the fence.

Answer #10

Only the new testament is 2000 years old. The old testament is around 6000 thousand years old. Around 6000 years and Christians still believe in their God because they know it is real.

The Christian God is not the original God. See the question…it is 1700 years old (documented)…older of course in the Old Testament. You didn’t answer the question at all.

Well the question is wrong. The new testament is around 2000 years old. Proper documentary evidences are available to prove the New Testament period is from 4 BC to around 70 AD

Which Christian God? The original Jews & Christians(Gnostic) believed in more than one God, the head being Yohawn(Sp?)./ Also the head was the most spiteful & hatful. If you read the bible carefully, you can see that it appears to be talking about more than one god too.

No that is wrong information. The Jews always had only one God and the Bible does not mention more than one God anywhere.

there are histories that predate those…

There are no history that pre-dates 4000 BC.

Answer #11

the Christian god. the Origanal GOD the REAL god!! Which Christian God? The original Jews & Christians(Gnostic) believed in more than one God, the head being Yohawn(Sp?)./ Also the head was the most spiteful & hatful. If you read the bible carefully, you can see that it appears to be talking about more than one god too.

The ORGINAL “GOD” came from Paleolithic ages. It’s believes to be from the sun or when men dressed in animal hides & hunted(thus animal parts).

As for which one is REAL, it all depends on what you believe in.

Answer #12

It’s amazing how many people didn’t get the question.

“So why don’t people still believe in those Gods? Why is Christianity (and Islam) is powerfully convinced that there God is the ‘one’ when we’ve been through this so many times in history?”

It boils down to salesmanship. These later religions have done, and are doing, a much better job of “selling” their God than are the older religions. Besides, it is more “in” to believe in a “modern God” than an ancient one.

Answer #13

Noone on here & I mean NOONE can give you the right answer to this, its simply what you choose to believe :)

Answer #14

Pleeease, christian and islamic god are the lamest and most uncreative ones. Greek and Egyptian gods are way more creative and original. I say, greek gods are real. You have to be unbelievably delusional to believe in some kinda christian angry guy god, seriously. Go Zeus!

Answer #15

“You are forgetting about the 4000 years of Old Testament history, in addition to the 2000 years of New.”

there are histories that predate those…

Answer #16

Around 6000 years and Christians still believe in their God because they know it is real.

No… they don’t… and it wasn’t Christianity in that 6000 years… it was Judaism. Christianity is only 2000 years old… remember?

Proper documentary evidences are available to prove the New Testament period is from 4 BC to around 70 AD

…prove, huh… How?

No that is wrong information. The Jews always had only one God and the Bible does not mention more than one God anywhere.

Wow… you really don’t know much about your own religion’s history…

Answer #17

There are no history that pre-dates 4000 BC.

lol… history goes back before then… just because your bible doesnt mention it doesnt mean it doesnt exist…

Answer #18

Religion is a self perpetuating belief system. Those beliefs are accepted on faith and never tested. As a result, there can be (and are) thousands of religions with diametrically opposed beliefs, and the believers of each religion think they have the inside scoop and everyone else is wrong.

There are no real gods.

Answer #19

Germanflyer, it is as easy as: There is no gods on this earth or in heaven or a satan - thats it! Religions created to keep people in place, morals etc and to then, also fear satan if you sin wooo hooo!
Thinking clearly, you would know that humans only found out they wont plunge off the face of earth if they keep on riding by horse or sail by ship! Infact they feared that untill only 300 years ago! Also a Fact that didnt even understand the smallest thing like: Thunder, hail storms etc untill recent, the only thought that came up was, god is trying to punish us or sumone else :-o So what I’m getting to is: how da hell did Adam and Eve even know there was people staying 500miles from them, any ways where did all their kids come from if there was only 1 Mommy!
Most important, the people who wrote all the books of the Bible, is the same people who thought rain, thunder etc was a supernatural sign from their god and so did the budhist, no difference! Point is most people believe all these, cause they are to scared to THINK and stand the chance going to HELL Wake up people there is no such thing, Believe in your own strengths and I promise you, you would be amazed by what you are capable off! Go well ;-)

Answer #20

4000 years of Old Testament history, in addition to the 2000 years of New. either way there are document MUCH older than that talking about other types of Gods, such as the Romans, Greeks, Norse Gods, Native American, tribal people, primative man even so whether we forget to mention that part or not, it doesn’t really matter if we mention Gods from Paleolithic periods. They were around long before Christianity was even thought of.

Answer #21

They were around long before Christianity was even thought of.

So if I state: People at that time didnt know how to keep the moral values and standards under control, then created a “book of law - bible” to do that and had to create a satan just for a warning?

Correct?
