Who is the us?
English
-
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
But if they are the same, why would he even need to say that in the first place?
-
They are three distinct persons in one God. God's nature is not so easily defined. http://bible.com/100/jhn.1.1-14.nasb In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. http://bible.com/100/mat.3.16-17.nasb After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."
-
But if God(s) is all knowing, why would he have to say that, unless he has some limitations, in which case Orthodox Christianity is built on falsity.
-
Because he said something, he's not all powerful?
-
No, because he said something to his other embodiments.
-
How does that make him not all powerful? He didn't have to say it, he chose to.
-
No, he was in conversation. If he is all powerful, why did he need to cut open Adam to make Eve, instead of doing his magic bullshit and just extracting the rib through teleportation.
-
Because he chose to. You're confusing what God can do with what he chooses to do.
-
No I'm not. Why would he cut Adam? Why would he choose the physical way to do EVERYTHING, when he can pull some magic? You are automatically ruling out that maybe the old testament [i]is[/i] literal. That is why a lot of Athiest I know do not follow religion. Because the answers could be there, but you all move around them, and take a "because he can" standpoint.
-
I'm not ruling anything out. Maybe he works through natural processes so there is a natural record of what's he's done.
-
Yet you rule out that we cannot become gods, just no God. Yet you rule out that he may be a physical being with advanced tech. What was the Ark of the Covenant holding? I need to hear this one.
-
The ten commandments.
-
So the 10 commandments were written on slabs of Uranium? Makes sense.
-
What are you taking about? Have you been watching too much Indiana Jones?
-
No. Look back in your old testament. Somewhere in there, should you use a KJV, it says that those who handled it died, and had a loss of hair and nails. All three of those are side effects of radiation poisoning.
-
The bible doesn't say anything about hair and fingernail loss. When the Philistines stole the ark God plagued then with tumors and mice until they returned it to the Israelites. When the ark was in the temple the spirit of God was atop the ark, therefore anyone who had sin would die if they went into its presence, because sin cannot exist in the presence of God without being judged and the penalty is death.
-
Read it again. It is in there.
-
Please cite the verse. But regardless, what does it prove?
-
The Ark had to be carried 1000 to 3400 meters ahead of the Israelites, on wooden poles. Those who touched it died, and the handlers suffered from hair and nail loss. This is stated in one of the passages describing the Israelite's journey through the Wilderness. I'm looking for it as you read this.
-
Please do, but again, what does that show? God wanted it handled a certain way and those that disobeyed, died.

The info can also be found in Exodus. Besides, how do you know, as stated in the article, that God isn't just some ET playing the part? Or that the bible isn't just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. The bible certainly Doesn't disprove the ET theory. The Ark legend itself shows signs of Radioactive material within the Ark.
-
That's complete speculation and wild theories. The hair and fingernail loss is not in the bible. And the other points are straight out of the writers imagination, not from the bible. And the bible says that God is eternal so that rules out the et theory, because an et would still be subject to natural laws, thus not eternal. The bible explains that God wanted the ark handled and cared for in a certain way and when people disobeyed they were judged. Anything else is futile speculation.
-
The image of God is eternal.
-
No sir, that is not what the bible teaches.
