I believe in God and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and you can say I'm a "Christian".
A couple of days ago, a man started saying, that God meant Zeus and Jesus meant Zeus' horse and a horse is a beast so practically, were " praying to the beast ". I don't believe in that because that's Hebrews beliefs. But what if its right?
Now, every times I pray I don't even say god or Jesus, just to be safe. I only say father and the son of man. Please help.

You say you believe, but you have no foundation and perhaps

don't have a personal relationship with Jesus as your personal

Savior. You need to know "why" you believe as well. And

Satan is also alive and well and will try to turn anyone away

from God if he can....



The first step is asking Jesus to come into your life

as your personal Savior...read John 3;;16 & 17 and John

14:6....then you are a Christian. It was God's plan to

save you. And once you have done that...asked Jesus

to forgive your sin, and invited Him into your life...He does

the rest...and no one can take you out of his hand.



All that other stuff is just hype....go to your Bible and start

learning and listening to what God wants you to know.

The whole New Testament was written by eye witnesses

so that you could grow strong in your faith. Start learning

what they want to teach you...what God told them to write.



Start with the book of John. And find a church that teaches

God's Word as truth, and you will grow strong in your faith

with other beleivers.

Well, there's like 3 other names for Jesus. And God can't mean "Zeus" because he was the 'king of gods' in Greek mythology. There's a bunch more gods in Greek mythology.



Keep praying normally :) The real God knows who you're praying to.

That's because Christianity came from the greek mythology and gods. Anyways chill out, you yourself choose what to believe in and it can be true because all religion can be true that all are the same just translated differently or that they are seperate or don't exist at all. You cannot be right and yet you cannot be wrong so go ahead and believe in christinaity if that's what you want :)

You are a Christian if you follow Jesus, who is God, and live His way of life. You would have asked Him into your life as Lord and Savior and made changes in your life so that it is within Godly parameters. You would have asked God's forgiveness for your sins.



Your question clearly shows you need to learn about Jesus and what he means in your life.



I encourage you to learn to separate spiritual truth from lies. God never met Zeus, and Jesus in no way is Zeus' horse.

Did Jesus ever say pray to me or in my name. No He said pray to the Father. Also you should read Matthew 13 v 3-8 and19-23. verses 6 & 20-21 refer to you.

I say this as respectfully as I can but it appears that you have no foundation for your belief. Go back to the Bible. You'll find the truth you can rely on. Whether someone feeds you some jargon about Zeus or offers you their opinion about the scriptures, you can read the truth for yourself.

Learn to *listen* to Almighty Jehovah God (by reading & examining God's Word yourself) . . .





“I am *Jehovah.* That is my name." (Isaiah 42:8a)



"That people may know that you, whose name is *Jehovah,*

You *alone* are the Most High over all the earth." (Psalm 83:18)





The Bible says that although there are many who are viewed as gods,

“there is actually to us one God the Father.” (1 Corinthians 8:5, 6)



That “one God” is Jehovah, the Creator of all things. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Revelation 4:11)



Jesus referred to him as “my God and your God.” (John 20:17)



He agreed with Moses, who had earlier stated:

“Jehovah is the true God; there is no other besides him.” (Deuteronomy 4:35)



Jehovah is far superior to any objects of worship, such as idols, deified humans, or his enemy Satan the Devil, “the god of this system of things.” (2 Corinthians 4:3, 4)



In contrast to all of these, Jehovah is, as Jesus called him, “the only true God.”—John 17:3.







Also, learn to *ignore* what anyone says that goes contrary to Jehovah's teachings!

I (eye), the identity of the living Creator is in mind and thoughts of the living creation.



I (eye), the identity we share though communicating with each other, is also the identity you can read in the bible, warning many not to misuse.

Lying,deceiving, making false promises is examples of misuse.



Religion may block you from recognizing I (eye).



Misuse of I (eye) is happening throughout the world and we are witnessing the results.



Lies, deception, many people looking out only for themselves... self serving.



In the story, it may be written where others say "Jesus redeems" however, Jesus does not say "Jesus redeems", but is written... "I redeem"



I (eye) is in our mind, in our thoughts.

Zeus belongs to Greek mythology which is not Biblical, so ignore what the man said to you.

God knows you in and out, what to call him that does not matter cause god feels your heart beat. One time a good friend of mind said I don't believe in god at all. I told him he doesn't matter god already knew he was real. I don't need the bible for me to feel god loves, I pray a lot of times not saying a name at all;

OK since you claim to be a Christian and believe in God etc etc....why do you deny HIM by your actions and refuse HIS Words but will accept someone else's instead ?



Jesus said, " I came in my Fathers name and you believe me not, but if one comes in their own name him ye will believe "

that is NOT hebrew belief! at all.jesus himself is the true god...father/son/spirit...in one. as proof that your friend is wrong...show them this:



there is plenty of physical archeological proof of god. there are historical papers outside the bible with the name of jesus christ (in the old langauges of course) & his whole family including the half-blood brothers & sisters (proving catholics wrong about this stupid ever-virgin nonsense. in fact it blows them outta the water on this topic! dont worry i come from a catholic church..im allowed to diss)



the bible says: when jesus died there was a huge quake & a crack appeared under his cross going into the ground. when his side was pierced, he bled out blood & water & it went into the crack.



this crack has recently been found...i'll get back to this.



the 'ark of the covenant' (throne of god) went missing thousands of years ago. it has been recently found. guess where? uh huh under calvary. it has human male blood on its seat. DIRECTLY UNDER that crack! DNA extracted shows properties a child would get from his mother....NONE however from a human father. there is "some other type of DNA" instead...not found in any species on earth...hmmm



the bible says: king nimrod built the first skyscraper, tower of babel.



an imprint of an ancient tower has been found...believed to be babel.



the bible says: sodom & 4 other cities were destroyed by fire & brimstone. lots wife was turned to a salt pillar



at one end of the dead sea....there has recently been found ruins of a few cities. the rocks around them are not found anywhere else, can burn hot...sulphrous like & just lying around. outside the cities area....a tall pillar of salt is standing...very very old.



the bible says: noah's ark. when it came onto land after the flood it was in the lower mountains of ararat. NOT the actual mountain. the foothils. bring some of every TYPE...not every species. so parent species from which others developed through crosbreeds. like the wolf. all dogs come from the wolf. so he probably took on a couple of different kinds of wolf. get it? also, of course he had no need to bring water animals on board.



there is a large birds eye shape seen from space on a lower hill next to that mountain. archaologists who went in there has found immense ribbing of a ship thats split apart & sunk in a bit over time. there are also 12 large anchor stones. one of them has 8 anceint foreing signatures on it....hmm....more on this in a moment. goverment confirmed: http://users.netconnect.com.au/~leedas/noaha.html



the bible says: behemoth(land)/leviathan(water)/dragon ( air! NOT to be confused with the devil's symbol) & obviously birds. created days 5 & 6...adam/eve day 6.



the word dinosaur is not in the bible simply cuz its a new word...first said in the 1800's. fossils are always found around water/where water used to be. dino bones are near the surface in heaps. whole mammoths with food still in their mouths have been found frozen. if this had been billions of years ago..shouldnt all this be buried deep..even turned to dust unable to be found? also in texas... a series of footprints in the same layers have been found...man AND dino together. recently a legbone of a dinosaur had been found that was so large it had to be split...soft tissue...SOFT? DA FUQ? was found inside....it was dated 4400 years ago....noah's ark was around then. scientists have been recently saying that a global flood in the past is theoraticly possible "points at a very guilty suspect...BLAME NOAH FOR THIS! DELIEVER HIM TO PHAR....oh wait...this isnt charlton heston/yul brenner...sorry" oh that reminds me....



the bible says: the stone tablets of the 10 commandments have been put inside the ark of the covenant...they are stil lthere along with a few other things....under calvary hill (or whatever its called now)



the bible says: the israelites crossed through the sea on dry land & then the sea covered pharoah & his horses (i guess yul brenner was too sexy for his chariot here...hmm)



pharoahs chariot has a different design in the wheel spokes from his officers. its a + shape..the others have more. in one of the fingers of the red sea sticking up...chariot wheels have been found..one with the + shape, along with skulls of man AND beast.



the bible says: god was atop mount sinia & it burned constantly.



near this red sea area crossing there is a mountain.....with a very black top.



a few years ago, a young bedoin shephard boy went after runaway strays by the dead sea. he found them in caves & there was a lot of pottery inside which were "the dead sea scrolls" now put into a museum. a current day pastor in sacramento (doug batchelor) went to see some of these & had someone who could read the old langauge with him. that person read off a passage...turns out its from isaiah. jesus himself probably held some of these scrolls.

If you are confused, then experiment.



Through experimentation you can achieve understanding.
