* May not work for all but worked for me today. *

Continuing on the matter of choosing @Pancho Frijoles. “But if it is bad in your eyes to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you want to serve, whether it is the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me...

“Choose” -> Joshua comes quickly to mind (Joshua 24:15). On that we‘re able to agree. You walk paths that I don’t. There is no path for me beyond, or in addition to, the path that Jesus and the Apostles walk. You’ve chosen to believe that there are many paths leading to God. (The position...

Let’s go back to Psalm 110:1. “Yahweh says to my lord, ...” The author of the Psalm communicated not his own message but the message he received from Yahweh. We could ask, did Yahweh say it or not? I see no reason to answer that he didn’t. The writer faithfully wrote down the message he...

“Unquenchable courage” I’m close to finishing reading The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come; a novel about the Civil War in Kentucky. The author uses the phrase “unquenchable courage” (p. 270) to describe a Union soldier’s admiration of the Confederate soldiers he is fighting against. There was...

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me.” (John 10:27) The shepherd of Yahweh speaks the words of Yahweh, not the words of Moloch (or other false gods). Jesus of Nazareth leads us to Yahweh alone, not to Moloch (or to any other deity.) I’d like to take us to Athens next...

Then together we have established that there is such a thing as an imposter deity, haven’t we? Those who worship Moloch are worshiping demons, not Yahweh. A worshiper of any deity and / or the priests of that deity can make the assertion. We have to make a decision on whether to accept and...

Gods talk. What they have to say is recorded in sacred books. We can compare and contrast what they say. When they say contradictory things they aren’t the same god.

That is crucial. Moloch* (to use an illustration with deity spoken about in the Bible; we could use other deities from other faith traditions not spoken about in the Bible who do the same) commands child sacrifice. Yahweh condemns the practice. The deitie(s) which require child sacrifice...

If there is such a thing as an imposter deity, we’ll eventually find out in our process. Have we established that there is such a thing as an imposter deity? I thought we had but perhaps we haven’t. If we have, how did you come to that conclusion?

“any and all feedback is welcome here” It may be difficult to identify, but there is something honorable in your parents. Find out what it is, and honor them for that.

We would have to choose our questions carefully. There must be no ambiguity in them that would allow the false to pass itself off as true. We must also keep in find that not only are we trying to detect obviously wrong answers but answers which are similar but not the same. Differences root out...

Are you saying that the body of Christ (composed of many persons) is (or may become?) God? In other words, God is probably (or possibly?) more than three because of those who will be saved?

1. Would you say that it also happens in non-Christian religions? 2. Do you think Jesus might take the disconnect (one factor among many factors?) into account when he judges people in the great white throne judgement?
