the reason there are so many different religions in the world is
because God separated men from each other by confusing their speech
when they began the Tower of Babel.
This like most of the Bibles is a totally implausable tale. There is NO
historical basis for this tale.
each has gone to his own way in that confusing of speech. whole
multitudes of peoples were separated from the commonwealth of God but
God chose to reveal Himself to the Israelites.
these separated peoples invented every sort of worship they could
imagine... the worship of the sun, moon, animals, zodiac, animals,
people and whatever else.
Why did your god choose to stay hidden from most of the worlds population?
God revealed Himself to His people through the ages. He caused
certain among them to write down His word. they were most careful to
put to print everything they were caused to put to print since it is
Gods Divine Word which is Truth itself.
Where has god revealed himself??? The Bibles are books of fables, myths
and impossible tales.
There is NO objective verifiable evidence for the existence of any gods.
Religion is things hoped for but not yet seen or proven. Science is things
seen and proven but not necessarily hoped for.
The objective evidence is that no gods created man but quite the opposite;
that man created imaginary gods! (thousands of them!)
therefore, the Apostle can say with assurance : " he who knows God
hears us, he who is not of God does not hear us... by this we know the
spirit of truth and the spirit of error " 1 Jo. 4:6
Sounds like criminal descrimination! Why is he hiding himeslf fro over
half the world?
the Bible is a book of fables, myths, folklore and foolishness only to
those who are perishing. to them that are being saved it is the power
of God unto salvation. 1 Cor. 1:18
In other words you can read what ever you like into the Bible.
there is no explanation which could possibly be given to hard hearts
that would bring understanding and belief of the wonderful works of
God. it is the Seed falling on hard ground. Matt. 13
Yes there is. There is common sense and reason!
Common sense isn't so common among Christians, and many simply throw out
logic and reason when it comes to their faith. The Bible is not the word of
God. It is the words of men *about* what they conceived God to be. They were
badly handicapped by ignorance and superstition, but did the best they could
to make some sense out of their existence. Some 2,000 years from now people
will no doubt be saying the same thing about us!
Shalom,
Bill
