Matter, if you can, indicate of whom you are speaking. Paul never cared about non Jews? Or, God hasn't?

Also, please feel free to cite the verses and statements that validate your post.

Otherwise your post is merely personal opinion, and wholly subjective on your part. As well as extremist.

Welcome to the Forum, btw.

Through the gloom and profanity I suddenly keep getting insights into Gods being. Into His purpose and into His compassion. These insights lead me to believe that ALL is God. The earth and the people are an extension of Gods being. They are His creation.

God seems to imply that everything was as it was meant to be. The coldness was intentional because He was away. He went away so that humanity could say I AM. But the limits of I AM have been reached. Any more and it would be dangerous.

So God is coming back to set the balance right. His intention is to slowly integrate all of us back into His self. Which will take many hundreds of years.

Is this all a dream? Or am I sensing something real? I don't know. But it excites me. I dream of Yahveh and His Kingdom. Christ seems like a puppet compared to Him.

Nothing compares to God! Amen.

Call me a purist, but it irritates me to see religious beliefs mixed and this post would be much more appropriate in the General Religion category.

For clarification, Orthodox and more strict sects within Judaism do not spell out the word "G_d" and none of the Jewish sects refer to G_d by name. The belief in G_d literally returning to earth is foreign to Judaism and Jews would never refer to Jesus as "Christ".

When Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik would start to teach a new group of students he would begin by writing God on a blackboard and then he would erase it. He would do this to make a point.

Because writing G-d instead of God has become minhag even amongst many non-Orthodox Jews, I choose to follow that convention, but I assume you understand the point that Rabbi Soloveitchik was making.

L'shalom,

Peter

Yes I understand your point and of course you are right.

Verily, "God" cannot be described in words, so the erased blackboard is quite appropriate. No words.

However, I'm not sure if that's the point you were making.

That does seem a bit extreme for a general spiritual discussion forum......can't we relax a bit?

I understand that Jews and believers want to be respectful. However, isn't G-d a label, and a description of Who YVWH is? In which name the vowels are purposefully left out?

Which label is a description of Who YVWH is, regarding being the Almighty?

YHWH got introduced first in Genesis 2:4 which is the beginning of the second creation account.

The God mentioned in the first creation account (Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:3) is transliterated in Hebrew as Elohim.

In Exodus 3:14 the God mentioned as the "I am that I am" is transliterated in Hebrew also as Elohim.
