God is eternally invisible and He dwells in unapproachable light, but through His Laws in which he revealed Himself and His nature, we can get know Him, and get to conform more and more to His divine nature, especially when we read His Laws and also take steps to faithfully do what His Laws command. And The Laws of God are not grievous. A nation of people discovered the knowledge of God, or better still God revealed Himself to them. God revealed Himself to this nation of people by giving them His Law, this law was their life (and wisdom), and this was the creation of man in the image of God. The Breath of life that God breath into Adam, was the Law of God. Deuteronomy 4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. Deuteronomy 32:47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 1 Like |

Keep at the back of your mind that we are discussing science and common sense here. The Earth is estimated to be at least 4.5 billion years old, while the Bible give or take is estimated to be about 6,000 years old. Moses was not there when God created the earth, therefore Moses' description of creation is a figurative and allegoric description of the creation of man. |

A closer look at the bible reveals that God is a divinity attribute for either a person, intelligency, political status, natural entity and being which exist. I see the reason why Christians accuse you guys of reading literal meaning to bible passage. 1 Like |

1 Chronicles 29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. Solomon in the verse above sat on the throne of the LORD, in essence Solomon became God. With this verse we can now understand how God pronounced blessings on His people, how God smelt burnt offerings from heaven etc. |

MrPresident1: my question has always been, 'which of the GODS' ? history has it that almost every ancient culture has it's own different GODS/GODESSES, and they all attribute creations to those GODS. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

MrPresident: When God revealed Himself to Israel also known as when God created Adam, His major commandment to Adam was 'go into the world and multiply', on the surface this was God asking Adam and Eve to procreate, but on a deeper level, God was asking Adam to go and civilise the world with the knowledge of God, go and spread my knowledge to the world, Civilise mankind with my knowledge. References to birds of the air, beasts of the field are all men created without the knowledge of God whom Adam was tasked with the job of civilising. Without the knowledge of God, man is essentially a beast. The 'Gods' were all the same, Negroes, who civilised the world. And they are coming back! John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; |

Colossians 1:13-15 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: God is eternally invisible. But he has invested himself and all his power and all his attributes into hos dear son Jesus Christ such that when you see the son Jesus you have seen the Father. The son Jesus Christ is the physical representation of the Father Almighty, and when you have seen the son you have seen the Father 1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. |

1 Corinthians 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 1Corinthians15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 1Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. The risen Christ is the head of all principalities and powers and thrones. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. At his presence they all tremble Ephesians 1:18-22 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, I pray that the LORD would open your eyes, and continue to enlighten us also, that we may continue to understand the riches of the glory of his calling and the exceeding greatness of his power toward us. The power that raised Jesus from the dead and put him in the heavenly places above all principalities and powers is also working inside us |

1 Peter 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. Revelation 12:7-10 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Matthew 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. |

MrPresident1: Michael and Jesus are one and the same person. Michael has defeated satan and cast him to the dunghills. Angels and authorities and powers have all been made subject unto him. The salvation of our God has come, and our God will reign in our midst forever |

Psalms 2:2-4 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 1 Samuel 2:10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. |
