GOD:

Anything that is worshiped can be termed a god, inasmuch as the worshiper attributes to it might greater than his own and venerates it. A person can even let his belly be a god. (Ro 16:18; Php 3:18, 19) The Bible makes mention of many gods (Ps 86:8; 1Co 8:5, 6), but it shows that the gods of the nations are valueless gods.—Ps 96:5



The True God Jehovah. The true God is not a nameless God. His name is Jehovah. (De 6:4; Ps 83:18) He is God by reason of his creatorship. (Ge 1:1; Re 4:11) The true God is real (Joh 7:28), a person (Ac 3:19; Heb 9:24), and not lifeless natural law operating without a living lawgiver, not blind force working through a series of accidents to develop one thing or another. The 1956 edition of The Encyclopedia Americana (Vol. XII, p. 743) commented under the heading “God”: “In the Christian, Mohammedan, and Jewish sense, the Supreme Being, the First Cause, and in a general sense, as considered nowadays throughout the civilized world, a spiritual being, self-existent, eternal and absolutely free and all-powerful, distinct from the matter which he has created in many forms, and which he conserves and controls. There does not seem to have been a period of history where mankind was without belief in a supernatural author and governor of the universe.”



I hope this helps.

Only One God

There are twelve Gods in the Olympian Pantheon - originally each month of the year was named after one of them. Twelve remained the magic number, even for the Christians - twelve apostles and so forth.



Every time we hold the Olympic Games we are doing honor to Zeus - it is his festival. But then Zeus is the same person as 'God'.



There are many Christians who pray to a particular 'saint' to intercede on their behalf. Nothing wrong with that. However, it is exactly what the people did before the advent of Christianity, save for the Jews who had decided on departing Egypt that there is only one God.



Fine, be my guest and have one God.



I've got twelve and they are much more interesting and form part of the early beginnings of democratic thinking. Do not imagine for a single moment that democracy sprang from the human mind. It did not. It is a gift of the Gods to allow the people to have an everlasting revolution without the bloodshed.

And if you think the Greeks or anyone else has forgotten their Gods, you are wrong. Greeks in their thousands are flocking back to worship the very idea and soul of Greece which can only be done through the living Gods of Olympia.

The word "God" means "mighty one". In the Bible, - Angels, Psalm 8:5; Human Judges and Princes, Psalm 82:6;Satan, 2 Corinthians 4:4; and Jesus Christ, John 1:1, Isaiah 9:6.



But Jesus' Father is his God - on earth John 14:28, in a resurrected state on earth John 20:17, and in an exalted spirit state in heaven Revelation 3:12. Jesus calls his Father the only true God John 17:3, which means that he is the Most High God Psalm 83:18. Through Jesus were all things created, but Jesus gives his Father and God all of the credit Matthew 19:4-5



Also, there is only one Almighty God. There is no scripture anywhere that says that he is more than one person. The Hebrew word Elohim, which can be plural, is an expression of majesty or greatness when the verb or pronoun is singular. Genesis 17:1 is an example of this.



When God said "Let us make man in our image" he was speaking to his Son, who had a pre-human existence, which he referred to in John 17:5, when he spoke of being with his Father "before the world was". That Almighty God has a Son is even stated in the Hebrew Scriptures, in Psalm 2, and Proverbs 30:4.



So there is only one Almighty God, the one who Jesus calls the "only true God" who is greater than he (Jesus) is. John 17:3; John 14:28 There is no other equal to him. Isaiah 46:10

Anything can be made into a God....but the question is what can that God do? Can that God hear your prayers, answer your prayers, comfort you, give you spiritual and material help when needed, etc, etc.? The Bible says there are many God's and many Lords but to those who follow Christ and worship the God Christ Worshiped, there is just one God. The almighty creator. There is nothing that people make into a God that can out love, out preform in any way, Jehovah the Only True God.

Almost every conceivable thing known to man has, at one time or another, been worshiped as a god or a goddess. The sun, moon, stars and planets have all been objects of worship from time immemorial. Plants and animals, insects and reptiles, animate and inanimate creatures were all added to the collection of gods. Mosquitoes, flies, monkeys, boars, cobras and cows, trees and rivers are still numbered among the prominent gods of today. There seems to be no end to the making of gods.

The only God that has proved his supremacy throughout all the centuries is Jehovah. Of Jehovah, David wrote: “All the gods of the peoples are worthless gods, but as for Jehovah, he has made the very heavens.” “Jehovah is a great God and a great King over all other gods.” (Psalms 96:5; 95:3)

I do not know if it possible to count all the Gods and Goddesses that where alive at some point in time. The where used to explain things that could not be explained. Unfortunately the one and only Creator God has lost interest in Gods Creation and is somewhere doing something. We could use a caring and loving God right about know.

Psalm 83:18

18 May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah,+

You alone are the Most High over all the earth.



Genesis (‎290 occurrences)

1 In [the] beginning*+ God*+ created+ the heavens and the earth.+ ... 2 Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep;*+ and God’s active force* was moving to and fro+ over the surface of the waters.

There is only one God! Just think of it like this... There can't be 2 kings for one country, hence there can't be more than one God to rule everything. Plus the definition of God is.. "the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being" (basing this definition on monotheistic religions). God is omni-potent, omni-scient and omni-benevolent. A God knows everything so if there was 2 Gods e.g. God A and God B and God B was thinking of something, and God A didn't know what God B was thinking that would mean he is not omni-potent or omni-scient!!! Which completely goes against the definition of God. Plus both Gods would be fighting over who gets a higher position. I hope this helps. There is only One God.

1 Corinthians 8:5 says that there are many gods and many lords. The question would be which one is the true God? Many times in the scriptures it mentions the "true God" so then the question would then be who is really the TRUE GOD. Take a look at Psalm 83:18. It will give you that answer. If you do not see the answer and it simply says Lord or God I would highly suggest to search for yourself why you do not see the name of the True God in that bible.

The standing challenge of the Quran for about 1400 years does prove beyond any reasonable doubt that no more than only one God is possible.

“Best Answer: The standing challenge of the Qur'an for about fourteen hundred years is the testimony for the crediblity of the prophet Muhammad:



Surah Al-Israa Ruku 10 Surah 17



88 Say: Verily, though mankind and the Jinn should assemble to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof though they were helpers one of another.

God is the one.think logically.if there were more than one God what would happen.the world would be so disciplined.one God would try to rule over the other God.but you can see the world is going on with a disciplined way.

Undoubtedly no human being can manage the world.so it is proved that the one and only God is managing the whole world.only He has created the world.thanks

God is the only One True God - there are no others.

Some will say different, but the Bible tells us that those are false-gods. False gods can be anything from what you set your heart on (other than God), to empty vessels that people pretend are gods, to demons posing as God in their own deceiving ways.



But God is the only real and True God.

Actually there are none at all - certainly none that can be proved by using sense data or by testing in a science lab.



My ancestors were Vikings. They used to worship Thor and Odin.



I have never yet (in my 67 years) seen one shred of irrefutable, objective evidence from Christians and Muslims that proves that Odin and Thor do not exist, and yet they would have us believe that their God/Allah does.



So proof matters. Believers will quibble about atheists asking for such proof, but will still claim that other religions cannot possibly exist.



This is essentially an inconsistency, and is based upon the principle "believe because I tell you that it is right and don't dare to question it" and nothing else

The Scriptures do at times refer to actual persons as gods. However, a careful examination clearly reveals that the term “god” in these instances is not intended to designate these individuals as deities. Rather, in the original languages in which the Bible was written, the term “god” was also used to describe a mighty person or an individual who is divine or closely associated with the Almighty God.



For example, some Bible verses allude to Jesus Christ as a god. (Isaiah 9:6, 7; John 1:1, 18) Does this mean that Jesus is to be worshipped? Jesus himself said: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Luke 4:8) Clearly, although Jesus is mighty in power and divine in nature, the Bible does not portray him as an object of worship.



The angels are also referred to as “godlike ones.” (Psalm 8:5; Hebrews 2:7) Still, nowhere in the Scriptures are humans encouraged to venerate the angels. In fact, on a certain occasion, the aged apostle John was so awestruck by the presence of an angel that he prostrated himself to worship the angel. However, the angel responded: “Be careful! Do not do that! . . . Worship God.”—Revelation 19:10.



The apostle Paul described the Devil as “the god of this system of things.” (2 Corinthians 4:4) As “the ruler of this world,” the Devil has promoted countless false gods. (John 12:31) Hence, all worship addressed to man-made gods is, in effect, worship rendered to Satan. But Satan is not a god who merits our worship. He is a self-appointed ruler, a usurper. In time, he himself, as well as all forms of false worship, will be eliminated. When that happens, all humanity—yes, all creation—will forever acknowledge Jehovah as the only true and living God.—Jeremiah 10:10.

God is one revealing Himself as the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit. Some liken it to a prism where light shines through & comes out in different colors yet the same God. Another comparison was of water being the same chemically (H20) but revealing itself in solid, liquid or steam but all still water. The Bible says in James that even the devil believes that God is one & shudders. The more important thing is to realize that God cares so much about mankind that He sent His Only Begotten to die on a cross for all our sins. Can you trust a God like that? Let me share or remind you that:



1) God loves you (we don't initially love Him) & has a wonderful purpose for your life

(1 John 4:9,10, John 10:10, Jeremiah 29:11)

2) Man is sinful & separated from God & cannot experience His love & forgiveness

(Romans 3:23, 6:23, James 3:2)

3) Jesus died for all our sins

(1 Peter 3:18, 1 Timothy 2:5, Acts 4:12, 1 John 1:9)

4) YOU can know this Jesus personally as your Lord & Saviour by responding to His invitation to be in your life

(Rev. 3:20, Hebrews 11:1,6, John 1:12)



I hope you read these verses & they help you understand who He is & that you come to know Him personally

According to the Bible, there are many 'gods'. Jesus spoke of such to his opposers while on Earth. (John 10:31-36) Even Satan is known also as the 'god of this system of things'. (2 Corinthians 4:3 & 4, 1 John 5:19) Also, anyone or anything can be deified and worshipped as a 'god' if someone desires to do so. However, there is only one Almighty God, whose name is Jehovah. (Psalms 83:18) It is He who will judge among those that refer to themselves as 'gods'. (Psalms 82:1)

There is only ONE God of Abraham Isaac n Jacob : the Great I AM>

Why there is more than one god: we are stiff neck people and kind of born losers. We created other gods. But that's not the end: Jesus came to save us and all we have to do is just believe, love and have faith in Jesus-God incarnate.

If people is still unable to obey God, then we look for a scapegoat. The best one is the Pope in rome, for failing to promote peace n order... as he was commanded by Jesus to follow Him for over 2,000 yrs.

There is one true God. And many false gods.



The First Commandment forbids idolatry. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods or demons (for example, satanism), power, pleasure, race, ancestors, the state, money, etc.



In the lands that surrounded Israel, there were many who worshiped false gods including the Egyptians. Later the Jews had to deal with the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses worshiped by their Governors and occupying forces.



Today people put many things in front of God in their lives including money, status, self, power, sex, etc.



For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 2083 and following.



With love in Christ.

Trick question, there are none. Just like there is no santa claus, no fairies, no vampires, no werewolves. It's all myths, fairy stories, wives tales, NONSENSE! God is an explanation people used to use when they didn't know the answers to anything. Bad harvest "witches", flood "God's pissed", don't understand how we got here "God did it", don't understand how the Earth started "God did it"... Christians argue that if the Big Bang started everything then what started the Big Bang? Well, if God made everything, what made God? Read a book, a text book you would find in school, and your eyes may begin to open to life, the universe and everything.

Yes he is he is the only true God and his name is JEHOVAH (Pslam 83:18). He is the one who made us,and we belong to him (Pslam 100:3). He does not give his glory to anyone, nor does he give his glory to graven images ( Isaiah 42:8). Everyone who calls apond his name, "Jehovah" will be saved (Romans 10:13). We know that every house is constructed by someone but the Almighty God constructed all things (Hebrews 3:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth ( Isaiah 40:26 ). There are false gods, but JEHOVAH is the only true. Even satan is called the God of this system of thing and he is in control of this wicked world (1John 5:19).

That all depends on who you talk to. No one has ever proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a God in the first place. Faith is a belief in something that can't be proven. People who believe that the Bible or the Quran is the word of God have faith. It's all just a matter of opinion.

Psalm 82:1 GOD stands in the congregation of the mighty, he judges among the gods.



Psalm 82:6 I have said, ye are gods and all of you are children of the most High.



John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they might you "the only true God" and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.



There are other gods as Psalm 82:1 clearly states but by definition the only TRUE GOD means the only one that is truly omnipotent

There is one God, but there are other real entities who present themselves as gods. Throughout history you see the Egyptian gods, the Roman gods, the Sumerian gods, etc. These beings are real, but they are NOT gods, they are the fallen angels (demons) spoken of in the Bible. The Book of Enoch is not in the Bible, but it is respected by most Christians, and it gives us the clearest understanding of exactly what those other "gods" are:



Book of Enoch 19:1

“The spirits of the Angels who were promiscuous with women will stand here; and they, assuming many forms, made men unclean and will lead men astray so that they sacrifice to demons as gods.”



The Bible itself also confirms this notion that evil spiritual entities have the ability to take on different forms and to present themselves as good:



2 Corinthians 11:14

“And no marvel; for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
2015-11-29 17:40:56 UTC
God is the only one true God. There are other powerful entities that he created, some might call angels or spirits. These entities can be evil and want to be worshipped like they are equal with God, but they aren't. There are beings of such power that you would describe as "A" god with a lower case "g" as in they are supernatural and powerful, but not something to be worshiped and praised.

In the NT, Jesus refers to Lucifer as the god of this world that's going to be driven out.

There is no answer to that, since no one knows for sure. A monotheist will tell you there is only one god. A polytheist will say there are many. Deists say there is a Great One who stands removed from the affairs of humans, but who watches what happens, and that, perhaps, there might be 'lesser beings' that we humans call deities, but No One knows for certain.

Are YOU the "only an only" you?



I mean, you LOOK like you because of your body. Someone who know you will see you from a distance, and KNOW that it is you. This is your physical body.



Of course, there are "dopplegangers" around, people who look exactly like someone else, at least to the point that the normal person (not family or a close friend) can't tell them apart. Celebrities often have "stunt doubles" in teh movies, or "celebrity look-alikes"-- Hollywood is full of them.



But what If someone call you on the phone. How do they KNOW it is you they are talking to? of course, there are certain things you know that ONLY you would know, certain things you do, certain things you say, certain ideas you have, they ONLY you woudl have. This is your personality. you can't judge physical looks on the phone, but you CAN judge personality. This is your SOUL.



And there is something inside you that neither you body nor your soul can do without. That is your "life force". Even the best scientists can't measure it, because they can;t even find it, but if you ever let this "life force"go -- you're dead. The body ceases to function, and your personaltiy, your soul, cannot express itslef.



So, while You are "one" you, there are many parts that can be used to identify you. Even when you re dead, people will STILL be able to identify the things you write by the ideas you expressed and the words you used to express them. SOMEONE will be called to look at your dead body and say, "Yup, that's him (or her) without the benefit of talking to you.



And so it is with God. THERE IS ONE GOD, which consists of three parts:

(1) The soul of God, what we call God the Father

(2) The body of God, that which we call "Jesus".

(3) The "lifeforce" of God. Similar to yours, but much more powerful,. We call thsi The Holy Spirit



ONE God with many parts, each completely inseparable from the thers.

"Cosmic consciousness implies the recognition of a First Cause". That to many may be God and may as well be. But to others it is just another of many of which there are even many more causes all still being caused by another more primordial than the last one. Finally we end up being the effects of a cause reverberating around in nothing more than another grain of sand on a beach somewhere out there in all that cosmic place. Lost with nothing more than the impression left when some being of great intelligence and power passed by leaving His impression in the sand and thus in us, eternities away from and an infinity or two behind Him.

If God is holy, perfect, and complete in Himself as He claims, then why the need for other gods? Wouldn't multiple gods have to be perfect, too? Why bother with carbon copies? That would mean God was no longer perfect and complete, then He wouldn't be God any longer. But then, neither would any other imperfect gods be able to be gods.

Lots of gods with a small g -- they aren't real, though. Only one true God -- who has manifested Himself in three centers of consciousness: Father, Son, Holy Ghost.



From Psalm 115:

4

But their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.



5

They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.



6

They have ears, but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.



7

They have hands, but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk,

nor can they utter a sound with their throats.



8

Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.

Only one actual, real, existent God

- a deity who is really God

- a deity who actually exists



Many other deities

- beings without any real existence believed to be gods

- beings with real existence (now or in the past) that are not and never were actually gods

Based on different religions and different people, people believe differently. Anyways, there is one fact, that G-d is one, based on my belief. He has a name, and some other names, too. But he is one.

Maybe you get the ten commandments, the most famous part of Torah. That certainly says G-d is one.

In fact, you must know Hebrew to know what it means.

There is No reason not to think that Torah in Hebrew's words are very accurate. It carries meanings which have places on their own.

Anyways, controversy is in Torah. But if you know Hebrew, you can deal with it.

In fact, Torah Only says about G-d being appeared in different faces as angels.

It formerly was said that our species has made hundreds of Gods

but not one worm. Since then we cloned SHEEP. After mixing 2

different DNA the result was GEEP. Which failed to survive birth

since creation isn't an exact science yet.

If you have any respect to the knowledge of other religions and history, then you would know there are different religions with either one god or many gods of different names.

The Iowa republican evangelical farmer s as certain he is right as were the Trade Center bombers. If such fantasies could be eradicated the world would be a better place. We are all going to die. Accept it. There is no life after death. The farmer and the jihadist will vanish in their time and nothing will remain of either of them but the memories of those who knew them (and desperately want to believe they still exist).

There really can be no answer to that. Of course my belief puts credence in a balance of two powers, evil and good, equally sharing a balance at opposing ends, and foisting their own scheme of things on poor souls like us. There's a war going on or maybe it is soon, but who will win? There is no mitigating the fate of all of us, that the whole world ends again and again, over and over, ad nauseum.

THE ONE & ONLY TRUE GOD THAT HAS A POWERFUL RECORD AGAINST WICKEDNESS



(1 Corinthians 8:5, 6) “5 For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” 6 there is actually to us ONE GOD ( my caps ) the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.”



PLEASE NOTE some situations that he took against false religions & their gods:



*** sh chap. 3 p. 62 Common Threads in Mythology ***

Egypt’s Gods and the Ten Plagues



JEHOVAH executed judgment on Egypt’s impotent gods by means of the Ten Plagues.—Exodus 7:14–12:32.

Plague Description

1 Nile and other waters turned to blood. Nile-god Hapi

disgraced

2 Frogs. Frog-goddess Heqt powerless to prevent it

3 Dust turned to gnats. Thoth, lord of magic, could not help

the Egyptian magicians

4 Gadflies on all Egypt except Goshen where Israel dwelt. No

god was able to prevent it—not even Ptah, creator of the

universe, or Thoth, lord of magic

5 Pestilence on livestock. Neither sacred cow-goddess Hathor

nor Apis the bull could prevent this plague

6 Boils. Healer deities Thoth, Isis, and Ptah unable to help

7 Thunder and hail. Exposed the impotence of Reshpu,

controller of lightning, and Thoth, god of rain and

thunder

8 Locusts. This was a blow to the fertility-god Min,

protector of crops

9 Three days of darkness. Ra, the preeminent sun-god, and

Horus, a solar god, disgraced

10 Death of the firstborn including Pharaoh’s, who was

considered to be a god incarnate. Ra (Amon-Ra), sun-god

and sometimes represented as a ram, was unable to impede

it"

i think the one god concept shows humanities increasing laziness in imagination.

we used to have lots of gods, cool ones with lightning and tridents. gods that cast fire and made mountains tremble. they travelled across the sky and below the earth.



at somepoing we got lazy and figured one imaginary friend was the easiest, but we couldnt even do that right so we made several "true" gods and made different religeons and even sects of religeons to follow this one "true" god.



but he is boring, so he set a bush on fire, whoop de whoop.

did he really set it on fire? or just use an already buring bush to talk through?



at least the old "true" god (unsure how he differs from the second version of the "true" god except that he killed boatlads of evil people) did cool stuff like plagues and frog storms.



the latest versions of the "true" god makes us all do the stuff ourselves and thats just lame.



but hey, we made our bed now we gotta lie in it.



we will never get the answer to the age of questions - who would win, Zues or Thor?



what a sad life this is indeed

There can only be one Creator, that is GOD.

Any other created being cannot be divine.

GOD is a title, he is assigned many names.
2015-11-30 21:15:10 UTC
1st, you must u/stand that God is NOT human, therefore, your human concept of Him distorts the truth.

2nd, let the bible teach us about God ... and there He is ... 3 in 1, 1 in 3.

christians know this as the Godhead comprising 3 divine beings.

to YOU, it is 3 Gods.

however you say it, 3 Gods is correct as well as 1 God is correct BUT ...

it MUST be Father, Son, Holy Spirit <<< 3=1, 1-3

you CANNOT include any idols and claim that is god .

Anyone who says they know is being irrational. For those who know through faith, it is acceptable for them to be irrational. To those who know there are no gods, who believe science-of-the-day is sacrosanct, these folks who know are self-contradicting and just look incredibly foolish.

When your mind is not static, there are millions of God. In hurry of result you will change God one after one. But if your mind is static you will not need many Gods. You will be satisfied with only one God. It is your mind who searched Him as many or One. In reality God is one only. He will meet you in that form in which you want to meet Him.These our desired different forms create fancy of being Him as many. If you toil for whole day for money He will give Himself to you as money. If you worship Him for victory He will come to you as you desire Him. If you worship Him for sake of Him He will reward Himself to you as Salvation, God, Enlightenment etc. If your target is One then He is one only.

Jesus Christ is the One true God and He loves you infinitely :)



Knowing for sure that you have eternal life is the single most important issue in life. All people are separated from God by a sin barrier that no human effort can overcome (Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:10, 12, 23). All human beings are born without spiritual life (Eph. 2:1). That is why Jesus Christ, who is eternal God Himself, came in human flesh so that He could suffer and die in our place - as our substitute - on the cross of Calvary. He died on the cross to pay our sin debt in FULL and rose again (1 Cor. 15:3-4). When we believe in Jesus Christ for our eternal life He has promised to give it to us:



"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life" (John 6:47).



"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life" (John 5:24).



To "believe" is simply to be convinced that it is true (Rom. 4:21) that you cannot in any way contribute to your own salvation and instead you trust Jesus alone to give you that life freely - a gift of unconditional eternal life. It means to believe His promise to give eternal life to all who believe in Him for that life. It really is that simple!



The Gospel of John is the only book written for the sole purpose of showing people how they can have eternal life (see John 20:30-31) and it mentions the word "believe" as the sole condition 98 times!



See the book "Simply By Grace" by Charles Bing for more :) Also, please check out this site: http://faithalone.org/tracts/ycbs.html

The God of the Bible explains this in a very sensible and simple way.



God introduces Himself to mankind as the only 'elohim' who produces peace when worshipped. An 'elohim' was recognized as a source of inspiration and thoughts. God calls Himself, 'Adonai Elohim' while acknowledging many other elohim, which He commands us not to worship. He explains that He is 'One,' meaning unable to be divided into greater and lesser parts. Next He states that the other elohim are not actually separate from Him. They each worship only the true God and exist in perfect union with each other and with Him. Modern people recognize the elohim as 'natural laws' and are violating God's command by studying them as isolated beings. They have compounded this foolishness by attempting to 'analyze' what they believe they have isolated, stripping the elohim even of their identities as divine beings or lesson bearers. This has resulted in inescapable arms races, exponentially expanding asymmetrical violence, unsecured weapons of mass destruction and planet poisoning mega-industry. In other words, it has resulted in the complete absence of stable peace. The only thing keeping us all from being painfully aware of this all the time is very loud and constant public spin transforming these great losses into the actions of 'heroes' or 'lesson givers' leading us into a mysterious futuristic reality---a reality that never actually arrives because each new 'advance' brings with it deeper damage, pervasive poisoning and death.



There is only One true God whose worship brings genuine peace. Each advance in His knowledge brings no proportionate waves of mass death and misery. His hidden kingdom exists side by side with this familiar system that clearly aspires to that kingdom's majesty while falling far short of it. Modern people fail to experience it because they have abandoned a full half of God's knowledge. What modern people call 'science' the Bible calls 'sunesis.' Sunesis is one half of the knowledge of God. The other half the Bible calls 'phronesis.'



Sunesis is the ability to solve puzzles. Phronesis is the ability to discern intent. 'Science' is proportionately retarded and ingenious at the same time. It has developed freakish puzzle-solving skills by completely abandoning the ability to discern motives. This is why science can employ its knowledge of natural laws to build highly destructive weapons but cannot see the foolishness in educating people with evil motives, selling them access to these weapons or its technology, even offering them rides to come and visit vulnerable areas within their vast aloof system of wealth and privilege and then recoiling in horror when those evil people opportunistically destroy the valuable things and create chaos and setbacks. It is this same retardation that gave a failed artist and street corner derelict, (Adolf Hitler), access to industry and war machines and allowed him to attempt mass exterminations and conduct a world war. It is this same retardation that protects the sons of those enriching themselves by selling poisonous fossil fuels, ('Islamic terrorists'), inviting them to be educated in advanced knowledge and then setting them loose in the world to destroy it by giving them access to its best tools---all in exchange for a comparably small sum of money, or simply to avoid seeming 'unfair.'



These foolish standards come from having abandoned vital divine lessons of morality and ethics taught by the elohim, which exist inextricably within their knowledge and 'natural laws.' They are not merely 'inanimate random functionaries' to be exploited or used. That is a defamation of the divine, because they are not 'separate' laws at all. They are fully unified into God Himself and cannot be truly understood apart from entering common union with their complete system. We will not escape from these punishments we are experiencing until we recognize the 'motives' of nature as well as the puzzles of nature. We cannot do this until we honor the full knowledge of God and become as discerning in phronetic knowledge as we are in sunetic knowledge. In reality, freakish skill sets contain bravado which is always used to cover gaps in basic logic, sound reasoning and good discipline. We are better off being less conspicuous and more substantive and patient. Unfortunately, the downsides of choosing the freakish path become easier to cover up the larger and more expansive our base of wealth and resources become. In the end, those hidden 'sins' will surface as violence, damage and irrecoverable loss.



We each have a choice to embrace the knowledge of God fully and personally, without permission of government and without joining criminals in their vain pursuits or futuristic visions. That is natural liberty---the signature of the true God's existence and the practical construct within which God's willingness and capacity to reward us, (without proportionate damage), becomes undeniably real.
