Do you *like* Yahveh?
 

This God has got some seriously bad press over the years; amongst other things. I've been itching to ask this; do you *like* Yahveh? He is bold, ruthless, personal and many other things. How do you feel about Him?

you crack me up, Honza. I voted no.

I like to keep you all on your toes!

I voted "no", but, of course, a guardian God is limited by his material.

Deuteronomy 32.8 (quoted from memory):
"When the Most High divided mankind, he fixed the bounds of the nations according to the number of Gods, and the descendants of Jacob were the allotment of Jahweh."

The bit they don't quote:
- Oh Lord! Do I have to? You can see what they're like: it's going to be genocide and ethnic cleansing all over Canaan, what ever I say!
- Sorry son; I know it's a thankless job, but someone has to do it. Look at it this way. You're probably thinking that Marduk's struck lucky drawing the Babylonians. Well, between you and me, in a few thousand years he'll be out of a job and hardly anyone will remember who the Babylonians were.

God from back then is the same as God from now.
Nowadays God seems very detached from us.
I believe this was always this way.
The Bible is full of parables and metaphors.

My personal experience with God is very positive, so I voted yes.:hug2:

Don't be scared..........

Yahveh is no God.

I didn't bother voting.

Is this that train of thought that says Yahweh isn't the main god but a lesser god? Not the god of creation?

ah come on, that's not fair, MP :)

Everyone is naturally born sinful (hateful, vengeful, evil), so logically there is rebellion against the creator of life - God (good, live).

I strongly disagree Tristran and I cannot understand who has taught you that everyone is born evil, how can you even think a newborn baby is evil, sinful etc: a new baby is beautiful, innocent, pure and it's quite disturbing to know that some can think otherwise. Please don't waste your time quoting verses of the bible as I am not interested in that nonsense.

Yahweh seems quite petty & insecure. Pete C has some interesting views on him

Then get into contact with an angel. i did and just repeated what the seraph told me about what man became after the Apple of Knowledge event.

Everyone is born into sin. Fact of life.

Eventually the new born child sins. Its human instinct to rebel against order.

YHWH's order is to not sin. Really easy.

There is a saying that 'young trees are flexible'.
Children easily absorb what is taught to them.
I see sin more as a society thing.
The development of a child into a virtuous or vicious person is strongly related to the environment this person grows up in.

'Then get into contact with an angel'

Yes I will Tristran, I'll txt one later :smile:

The thing is, is that it is not a joke because it can be done via email.

Angels are on this planet in spiritual form. A mortal in physical form resides in a house with them.

Every day the mortal monitors their emails / PM's. If a question is directed at the angel that only the angel can answer then the angel (who is watching) occupies the mortal host body. Then they are able to answer the question via email.

So technically, what you state as a joke, actually does happen for me.

Is it true that He is burning in his own hell?
Jesus tries to take Jews from tradition.

The question itself is illogical. G-d is. We have to *like* him. This isn't facebook. Its a bit hard to not like your Creator.

Perhaps other important questions may be:

"Who is Yahweh?"

"Has any one had any lucid dreams or astral projection experiences with Yahweh?"

Maybe some of the Rabbis in this forum are able to provide some answers to these questions.

Some of the more blasphemous and controversial viewpoints may imply that Yahweh is a more pleasant and good natured/spiritual personification (or incarnation) of the Canaanite god Baal or the Sumerian demon Pazuzu. Perhaps all gods, demigods, angels and demons originate from a primal god. And they take on different names, appearances, and agendas to suite a specific purpose in the various dimensions of the universe.

Sabbath Teaching #2: Shocking Proof YHWH Is Baal

Sounds interesting!!

I feel YHWH has been misrepresented and blamed for natural events...earthquakes, floods, locust, plaques.
How could He be that bad when He adores a murderer like David?
Loves Enoch so much He swoops him up!

Why, in Exodus alone He said:
The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, is slow to anger, abounding in love
and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.

(34:6-7) So, yes, I like Yahweh.

Ever read the heart wrenching Love Story of Hosea and Gomer? The Lord encourages Homer to by her back
and take care of her.
I am to believe the other nonsense made up about Him? Nope.
