Charles: Why won’t you ask & challenge the longtime visitors of vbvbc and let them tell you what you are?

Indeed your presence troubles me like a wolf would trouble me when it is near my house! Frankly speaking your irrational, deceptive and annoying!

Tiuche, obviously my presence here troubles you deeply. I keep proving to you that what you believe to be God’s manual can’t be from God because it contradicts itself. I understand this is the reason why you’re so troubled and angry all the time.

Since God left us no Word no instruction manual, what are you arguing here?
If the god you believe in who have all the wisdom and knowledge could not care enough to give you any instruction, then what is the use of your teaching us? You are imperfect as everyone here is, w/o a basis, everywhere will be ever learning but never coming to. You are demented!

Lawyers have their books as a basis, doctors have their books as a basis, even students have books as a basis…and here you tell us that when it comes to God, there is no book as a basis. Indeed you are irrational and deceptive!

Tiuche, it’s not easy keeping someone like you honest, but I’ll try. I believe God left us no written instructions simply because I am honest with myself and I am not trying to deceive anybody. If I believed that the Bible is God’s instructions I would have to believe that:
• I can eat pig and I cannot eat pig
• I have to stone adulterers and I cannot stone adulterers
• Methuselah lived through the flood and Methuselah did not live through the flood
• Heli was Joseph’s father and Heli was not Joseph’s father
• The world ended 2,000 years ago
and a bunch of other inconsistencies, contradictions, lies and idiocies.
Now you may feel comfortable speaking from both sides of your mouth. I’m not. I don’t think God is as stupid as you’re making him out to be.
like this. You believe God is some kind of confused fool. I don’t.

Reposting from Genesis 5:27 which already answered the claim of Charles that Methuselah lived through the flood. wonder why charles really wants that God that he said he believes in LEFT no WORDS or INSTRUCTION for us to tells us of our history and tells us of our future. He wants people to be like him who do not know where he came from nor does he know where he is going-a lost man-lost in space! Here is the repost regarding Methuselah:

Just by the meaning of the name METHUSELAH, which means wHEN HE IS DEAD IT SHALL BE SENT” or ” WHEN I DIE judgement will come”, we have already a hint of whether he died of the flood or before the flood!

Methuselah (*3472 B.c.-2503 B.C.) died days, or months or even on the very day that the rain of the flood began to pour…he died more or less 2503 B.C. the year the worldwide flood came.

*more or less.

Re post 14…and so forgetful that he kept Methusaleh alive during the flood (together with another 20+million people around the globe)…and so disorganized that he mistakenly created Earth before the stars…and so confused that he couldn’t decide whether Adam came before or after the animals…and so stupid that he thought people could build a tower to heaven… Gotta love a god like that

to all:

i agree; god; is every bit a tyrant, cruel, unjust, emotionless, a warlord, envious; and yet; god; is loving, merciful, gracious, tender, kind hearted, a blesser, and most of all our father in heaven who gave us life; so that we could be his sons and daughters.

and god does have many names so that we could see his many attributes; as our father.

gotta love him. i do!

Angel, I took exception to your calling Yahweh god of Gentiles in post 8. As a student of the Bible you ought to know how hard Yahweh tried to exterminate Gentiles. I just find you a little loose with some of the claims you make!

to all:

god’s sons and daughters are all messengers. according to god’s holy word. the elect/bride.

2 Timothy 4:1-5
1. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

romans 10:15
15. And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

exactly what i am doing. preaching the good word of our lord jesus christ. a minister of god’s holy word.

god has many names; believe it or not.

and yes; god; is a jealous god, an angry god, a vengeful god, a loving god, a merciful god, an understanding god, a gracious god, and so much more.

god; is not limited; but man limits god.

as for me; i chose to accept god in all his glory. because god is above all my understandings and god is my creator; for i am just a lump of clay in his hands to do with me as god pleases.

for i surrender myself unto god; completely and wholly.

Angel, it’s presumptuous and haughty of you to appoint yourself as some kind of a prophet (messenger of truth!) Which one of my Bible quotations in my previous post convinces you that Yahweh is the kind and forgiving fatherly God that
Jesus preached to us? You can’t make the case that Yahweh was god of the gentiles when he tried so hard to exterminate them!

By Charles (wrote 1421 Bible Commentaries - permalink to this Commentary)

To All:

Search the many names of God. And argue with him if you don’t approve.

For I am only a Messenger of his Truth. A loyal and faithful servant. Vindicated by the power of the Holy Spirit. So be careful how you judge the Holy Spirit. I can forgive you; but he won’t.

AND BY THE WAY: I AM SERIOUS WHEN IT COMES TO GOD.

I will be judged if I am wrong; and will be cast into the pits of hell to be destroyed forever. So I take God very seriously.

Do you?

For you keep insulting me and I have never returned the favor unto you.

Re post 8: saying that “YHWH, is the one true God, with many names to show his attributes to his children, being Jews and Gentles alike” makes a mockery out of the Bible. The OT not only clearly identifies Yahweh as a local god (God of Jews only) but also makes him a sadistic enemy of all the neighboring nations.

Deut. 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

Nehemiah 13:1. On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;

Deut. 23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:

Ezra 6:22 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

Deut. 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

Numbers 31:17-18 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Yahweh God of eveybody!?!? Get serious, will you?

To All:

EL ELYON; ELYON:
The Hebrew term elyon means “upper”; El Elyon, “The most high God” (KJV) or “God Most High” (NRSV), is found only in Genesis 14—“and he [Melchizedek of Salem] was the priest of the most high God [El Elyon]” (Genesis 14:18-22, KJV). The short form Elyon, translated “Most High,” appears more frequently. Both names were originally associated with the Canaanite high god El. But the names clearly came to be used for Yahweh, as is apparent in Psalm 7:17: “[I] will sing praise to the name of the LORD [Yahweh], the Most High [Elyon]” (Psalm 7:17, NRSV).

ELOHIM:
Used about 2,600 times, this is a stock term in the Bible’s religious vocabulary, with three distinct meanings. First, as a plural term (-im is the standard Hebrew plural ending) it means “gods, deities,” as in, “You shall have no other gods [Elohim] before me” (Deuteronomy 5:7). Second, when used about a particular god, it can mean “the deity, a god, the god,” in the singular, as in, “You cannot worship Yahweh, for he is a holy god [Elohim]” (Joshua 24:19). Third, with a capital E, it serves as a personal name for God: “In the beginning, God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

EL:
Although not as common as Elohim (see below), this is another standard Hebrew term for “god” used for any god (with a small g) as well as for Israel’s monotheistic “God,” with a capital G—as in, “I am God [El] and there is no other” (Isaiah 45:22). The Canaanite high god was also called El, and the Hebrews may have given this deity’s name to their own god.

GOD:
Conventionally, “God” is always spelled with a capital letter when Israel’s deity is meant, whereas “god,” without a capital letter, refers to a non-Israelite, polytheistic deity. The most common underlying Hebrew word is Elohim, but one can also find Eloah, El and, rarely, Yahweh (in which case it is generally printed in small capital letters as GOD).

YAHWEH:
The most common name for the Hebrew God (used more than 6,800 times in the Bible) is typically concealed from the modern reader; virtually all standard translations render YHWH as “the Lord” (often printed Lord) or “the Eternal.”

In ancient times, the Hebrew scribes wrote only consonants and no vowels, and this name of God has come down to us in this written form. Because the name consists of four consonants, it is frequently referred to as the tetragrammaton or tetragram, meaning “the four-letter word.” We don’t know how YHWH was originally pronounced; the standard pronunciation (and English spelling) today—Yahweh—is a modern conjecture, first suggested in the 16th century by Gilbert Génébrard, professor of Hebrew at the prestigious Collège Royal in Paris.

Throughout history, Jews have treated this name of God with great reverence, declaring that it is too sacred to be used or spoken frequently.4 In writing, the name appears almost exclusively in biblical texts. The speaking of the name was traditionally restricted to priests worshiping at the Jerusalem Temple; after the Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 C.E., Jews ceased to utter this name altogether (which is why the original pronunciation of the name was lost). When scripture is read aloud in the synagogue today, the more generic term Adonai is used in place of YHWH. Some scholars follow Jewish tradition and refrain from pronouncing the divine name out of religious respect and so prefer to write YHWH rather than Yahweh.

There is one place in modern English translations where Yahweh or YHWH (or, in the KJV, Jehovah) is not translated: In Exodus 6:3, in which God reveals his name to Moses: “I am the Lord [YHWH—here it is translated]: I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob by the name of God Almighty [El Shaddai], but by my name Yahweh [YHWH—here it is not] did not make myself known to them” (Exodus 6:2-3).

This passage suggests Yahweh is a later name than El Shaddai, but we do not know when the divine name Yahweh was introduced into Hebrew religion. The name appears in the Moabite inscription of King Mesha (850-830 B.C.E.), the Khirbet el-Qôm burial inscription (eighth century B.C.E.), and the Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions (around 800 B.C.E.).

Arguing that biblical names generally have a discernible meaning, scholars have tried to establish what YHWH means. Based on the etymology, scholars have suggested “He Is” (which can be said of any deity), “He Causes to Be” (said of the Creator) or “He Blows” (a reference to Yahweh as storm god)—but none of these have won general acceptance. Others have tried (with more promising results) to determine the meaning based on the context in which the name occurs. Consider the following passage: “I am going to teach them my power and my might, and they shall know that my name is Yahweh” (Jeremiah 16:21). Here Yahweh clearly carries the connotation “the Mighty One”—referring to the one with the power, the supreme ruler or the Lord (see also Exodus 7:5; 1 Kings 20:13 and others). This is why the ancient translators who rendered the Hebrew Bible into Greek in the third century B.C.E. replaced YHWH with “ho kyrios,” or “the Lord.” For YHWH, is the one true God, with many names to show his attributes to his children, being Jews and Gentles alike.

LORD:
In four capitals just tells you that the original Hebrew word is YHWH instead of one of the other words that can be translated “Lord,” such as “Adonai.”

God is God.

Tiuche, you’re feuding meaninglessly again. This verse tells us that Yahweh is a warlord, and in fact Yahweh’s actions throughout the Torah and other parts of the OT cofirm it.

God is not a warlord.

Yahweh is not God.

Jesus means Jah Saves/ Jehovah Saves or Yahweh Saves!

While Charles insist he has his own god who got no name, and who does not talk to him, nor does his god have any instruction manual to him…and in the day that Charles dies…will the god he says he believes in be there?

And when he wakes up in the Great White Throne judgement-who do you think would Charles see- his god or Yahweh?

Yahweh was a warlord in the worst sense of the word. He ordered total destruction of enemies. He ordered torture. He ordered rape.

God the Father is not a warlord. He did none of those things.
