GOD

<< < (4/8) > >>

Sikotic™:
And I guess Muslims, Jews and Christians in a way believe in the same god, the God of the Old Testament.

Still doesn't make sense since there was the Son og God even before the New Testament, just that he never came down from Heaven yet.

Trauma-san:
Dude, by definition there is 1 god.  Muslims pray to the same god I do, as a christian (lds).  God would never desert someone just because they're of a different faith, even though I believe my faith is the 'true' faith or whatever (or I wouldn't be a member, right?) I still know (and my church teaches) that god is with everyone, even if they are evil.  Jesus Christ came to earth for EVERYONE , every single person.  If Hitler himself was the only person that ever lived, Jesus would have came to earth to let hitler kill him for his sins, or whatever.  God loves everyone equally, even those who don't know him, deny him, and even hate him.  

Peace~

The Big Bad Ass:
Trauma, was that answer directed towards my original question, or towards someone else's, cause if it was towards mine, I think you missed my point. Also, do you by chance post in LOP's forum under Trauma?

Trauma-san:
I can answer the god/jesus question, definately.  

This is a Latter Day Saint view, though... so it doesn't reflect your 'average' christian belief.

The average christian belief is that god/jesus/the holy ghost are all the same person.  However, that can't be true, because Jesus prayed to his father in heaven while on earth.  How can they be 1, then?

The latter day saint view is this: The reason we are on earth is to grow as a family.  We are children of God, and as such, God wants us to grow up to be like him (like all dads do).  God has a wife, and God has a son.  Just as Jesus has a dad, Jesus's dad has a dad, and it is an infinite regression; the only people we know about are Jesus Christ, and his father, however.  Just like Jesus, we can have a family, and eventually, in heaven, will grow (like our father) to be able to create our own worlds, etc.  

Earth is Jesus's world.  It was all created by him (save mankind) as he matured and became a god as his father had.  He is our brother, and our shining example of how to become a god.

And that's the real~ !WHOOOO@!

So, you could say there's more than 1 god, but we only pray to 1, because he is our father and that's all we know.  We don't know where he came from, or who his father is, but the key here is families, God also has a family.  Can you imagine him alone, with no wife? He has a wife, and he has at least Jesus as a son.   We are all his children, men and women, given a chance to come to earth, so we can grow here, and obtain a body like his.  (God has a body, because we were created in his image).  Jesus also came to earth so he could obtain a body.  Basically, Jesus is our bigger brother that we should strive to be like.  God gave us, as a sign of love, eternal life.  If you do good by him, you'll return to live with him eternally.  If you do bad, you will be cast out from him, eternally.  Earth is the test.  Earth is also where you should get married for eternity, so you can use the other gift god gave us: The gift of creation.  We can't grow plants, make things float, or anyting like that, but yet, we can create life! Think about that.  God intends for all of us to choose a wife/husband, and raise a family like he did, and teach our children, and help them be like us when they grow up.

It's sooooooo deep, I could talk to you about each part of the plan for weeks on end.  If you have any questions, shoot.

Trauma-san:
Yeah, I was talking about your o.g. question.  What I meant is, there is only 1 god, nomatter how you look at it.  So, if you're praying to god, you're praying to the same god, because there's nobody else there to hear you.  I think people have very different ideas about who that god is, though.

Yeah, I post on LOP.  Gangsta, Huh?
