How many Gods do you believe in?

Thats the privilege you have been granted.
God is found in different ways to different people, yet God is the same to every one in that He granted us the privilege to believe as we like, or rather be our own god, and yet be allowed to exist as a god in His realm without penalty of udder extinction.
We don't exist just because. If this was all to this existence and nothing else after this, why not live to abuse everything in our favor? Why try to be good as if good was something normal and for what purpose or goal?
Make allot of money for what to give it all to the next generation?
No, there is a purpose to this life of which good is the object to be learned.
Within good comes a heart that has compassion, kindness, patience, long suffering, slow to anger, joy, peace and brotherly love.
If you can do all those things claiming not to believe in God, then you have just demonstrated being in His image.

I don't understand why people ask questions when they've clearly stated their disdain for the answer. Isn't that the essential definition of forum trolling? Bringing the same topic up, over and over and over just so you can swipe at anyone who rises to the discussion?
trust me when I tell you that your brand of prompting does nothing but reinforce a person's desire to remain with their faith. It's been my experience that mocking, patronizing, and generally chastising people for their view is the best way to ensure they keep it. This applies to nearly all arguments on the internet.
What reality? Your reality? Honestly, what makes you so sure that your reality is what everyone else should, or feel the need to, follow?
For ever action there is a reaction karrie. I have no problem with mrgrumpy's questions, because it gives me an opportunity to promote my views as does his.
It also gives folks who become interested in the subject to see both sides and let them decide for themselves what they want to believe.
My hope in all this, is to present a message that demeans no one's views, but presents a message of hope, comfort in light of an evil world.

Actually for me, it's really simple...The # of Gods I believe in really depends on the # of voices I hear in my head! LOL!
Now sometimes, there can be two voices going at each other. Dual personality which probably represents the dual nature of God, via nature, as in the yin and the yang as well as the paradoxes associated with such duality.
Then sometimes there's this one lone voice....Yeah, the lone ranger and he epitomises the nature of God being as all-knowing, encompassing Christian god of ONE but One is such a lonely number, so at other times suddenly there are thousands of voices in my head and then God becomes this omniscient, omnipresent Hindu god, with thousands incarnations or avatars.
Haha!

The god of this world yes, for everything you do with the dollar is dependent on your heart.
Where your treasure is................is where your heart is:
Luk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Are you sure you want that for a god?

My hope will be that you'll be my true friend indeed forever. Will add you to my morining prayers for friends family and neighbours.
The Heart of God is there for those who seek the truth within themselves.
"What was at stake here in this whole process was the state of mankind's soul, whether then or today that needed to be addressed by the creator."
Makes it sound like an engineering problem of what to do with left over parts.
Going along with my last post you will see that there can be but only one God, over all and not one more.
I don't "go along with your last post". I say there is no God and you are unable to prove otherwise.
Hence Jesus is the only name by which mankind can be saved, for He alone endured to the end to win that salvation for us.
It's these sort of arrogant statements that dismiss Christianity as an irrelevant dream, or more accurately, nightmare.
One would think that because of all that, we'd learn to get along with each other better."
Dissing other religions, and atheism, with your contention that salvation can only be achieved by your Jewish Rabbi is the reason Christianity is the cause of so much strife in the world.

Since I already know your mind, what profit will it do me to read the above site?
Would it not be your bible of sorts?
But, I will honor your request and I will look at it.

OK, mrgrumpy
Refuting the trinity is for lack of understanding.
The view in that site is from a humanistic understanding and lacks the spiritual side of understanding.
I understand the trinity view completely and have no problem with any verses that to man seem controversial.
The bible is designed to confuse in order for mankind to try harder to seek out the truth.
When mankind or folks such as your self who onces graced the pages of the bible with interest, became confused.
But rather than trying harder to seek out understanding, gave way to the easier path, and that is unbelief.
Why climb a mountain if there are so many obstacles in the way? Unless one has the hearts desire to reach the top, the obstacles are but a challenge and the going ruff, but at the top is victory over all of it.
Victory is not won standing on the sidelines of life, the easy path, the valleys, but in overcoming the challenges set forth in front of us so that onces the goal is met, we will have learned to conquer life in understanding.
PRO 24:3 Through wisdom is an house built; and by understanding it is established:
PRO 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Knowledge of the wisdom of God is established by understanding, and the riches there in can only be known by understanding.
Here is wisdom, know and understand the word of God, and His riches will be yours.
