The Gods

However, there does remain an aspect of belief in God which defies all logic and reason, but which has
become a corner stone of faith. It is the belief that God became man. Where the original monotheistic
belief in God degenerated into a belief that there must be intermedi-aries between human beings and

the Supreme Being to either convey human quests or to act on behalf of God in the world, the intermedi-aries became objects of worship. The intermediaries were often con-ceived as spirits found in all manifestations of nature. Consequently, humans from primitive times have worshiped spirits of the

forest, rivers, skies and the earth etc., until the present time. Occasionally nature itself was worshiped, and at other times, symbols representing nature were worshiped. The religious systems, which evolved from these types of beliefs tended to be localized and remain scattered among primitive people around

the world till today. Such beliefs did not converge in the form of a single belief system of international impact, as far as is known in the current records of human history.
On the other hand, where the monotheistic belief degenerated into the personification of God’s power

as separate intermediary entities represented by images, idols became a focal point for worshipping God. The powers of God became gods. Such beliefs have culminated in ancient and modern times as natural religions of international im-pact. Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman religions have died out

due to the complete subversion of these empires by Christianity. However, the Indian expression of Hinduism survived both Muslim and Christian colonization and remains the national religion of ap-proximately one billion people in India. Christianity and Islam, with exception of Bali in Indonesia,

have supplanted their direct interna-tional impact in the majority of the Far East. However, the different forms of Buddhism, its offshoot, have become the main religion of hundreds of millions in the Far East. Different forms of this Hindu reform movement continue to spread in the West today.

When a person reaches the top caste, the Brahmins, after various re-incarnations, the cycle of rebirth ends, and he reunites with Brah-man. This process of reunification is called Moksha, and in Bud-dhism it is called Nirvana2. The Atman becomes once again reunited with Brahman. Thus, man becomes God.

John 1: 29-34 the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel." Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God."



Prophesized long ago.



Daniel 11: 36- 38 "The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.

Jesus who was and is God became man to save man. Man cannot become God.

God was originally worshiped as a woman called Goddess. Somewhere around the time that Judaism got its start, religious leaders changed God into a man.

theres truth in all religions and the correct and fullness of Gods gospel has been preached, changed, died, restored, preached, etc the cycle has started since our first parents adam and eve and with satan in the hearts of the people, the truth is distorted, this is Satan's main goal in disrupting the plan of Heavenly Father. Its not complicated but actually very simple and basic once you realize this. Theres truth in that last statement which you wrote "man becomes God". We all have god like potential in all of us, we are indeed his spiritual children having bodies of flesh and bone. God the father sent his son Jesus Christ on the earth as well. theres a quote by a prophet and it goes something like this, "As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become." I think its very likely God the father and obviously Jesus Christ did indeed go through mortal trials, and maybe he had an earth life experience as well who knows. All I know is that his ways are much higher than my ways and for the time right now I know what I need to know in order to be happy in this life and to have eternal life in the life after, once this temporal body is put down.
