It's simply the 12 tribes of Israel.

I respectfully disagree.

I will say that I do not worship the same God as does Mystic, for example.

For I believe that he has concocted an idol out of his imagination that does not line up with the description of God that we find in holy scripture.

And I think, also, that the God who condemns certain ones to hell is a different God than the god who has no justice and accepts everyone into the kingdom (i.e. the god of UR).

Of course, this is based on your "as I see it."

Yes, it is as I see it.

Something that you have not shown to be incorrect.

An obstinate and irrational person cannot be shown anything.

Since I am not obstinate or irrational, you can show me anything in the holy scriptures and I will believe it, short of denial of the Lord that bought me.

That particular doctrine, I have seen in the holy scriptures and have dealt with it to my satisfaction.

however, I didn't see the word ONLY in there anywhere, with respect to your statement quoted.

In fact, Paul writes "There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus." Gal 3:28

Everyone posting in this forum worships the same God. That is the God of Abraham. Some call Him Jehovah or Yahwah. Jews, Muslims, and Christians all worship the same God. Every denomination of Christianity worships the same God.

You may think differently, but this is not to forum for such expression. We respect all Christian beliefs in this forum.

You really don't get it, JBF. There is only ONE God. What differs is what each of us believes ABOUT Him but God does not differ. We see only dimly what our spirit resonates with. That is why I worry about you and Charlie. Your spirits resonate with a savage and barbaric version of God that does not remotely resemble Jesus Christ, IMO.
