The bible states, that God created the earth and all its creatures, and last of all man, to whom He gave dominion over everything. Also…consider the words of the Psalmist:
Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet.
God created the fundamental ideas culminating in the idea of ideal man. This ideal man has power to mold God’s creation into any manifestation he may choose. If he consults the Father and projects His thoughts in accordance with the law, perfect manifestation follows…One who understands this relation of man to his creator can assert with confidence that this is man’s world and always will be. By right thinking man can have the cooperation of God in producing manifestations and thereby can set up the kingdom of God in the earth; or he can ignore God and attempt to form a world and govern it without divine aid.
We are now living in a civilization dominated by human thought, and confusion is the result. How many ages have and aeons have past since man lost contact with God no one can tell…One scientist says forces released fromthat the the bombs that were used on the Japanese cities in 1945 may affect those who were subjected to them and their descendants for a thousand years. Experimentation proves that we have tapped a kingdom that we do not know how to handle safely.

God gave us freedom of choice. Unfortunately, we have used this freedom to bind ourselves in chains of ignorance. As Individuals, we have thrown up walls of self incrimination and guilt in our consciousness, thus cutting ourselves off from the abundant good that God has for us. Collectively, people have built up false beliefs about sin, sickness, and death, causing us to lose sight of the true meaning of life, which is that we are all children of God. As such, it is our privilege, in fact our very mission, to be heirs to God’s kingdom.

Please provide a verse from the bible where Christ appeared as Krishna and Woden and I'd be pleased to make a guess. But I expect Woden might have horns under that hat so probably wrong person.

Every church service where they talked about Adam and Eve says that God gave the Earth to us. That we have complete control of the planet and all of the life on it, God gave it to us.

You go right ahead and believe what you want, I have read my bible, numerous times. I've read a KJV and a NIV.

We do have domain, but it's silly for you to think you would treat the earth as a cheap hooker!!

You might read your Bible, but you need to gain respect for it!!!

There is no mention of the color of his eyes or skin that I am aware of.

Jesus of course was a Jew, so during his earth life he would most likely have the coloring and physical characteristics of Jews of that time and location.

I think HE looks more like this. Kind of a Bin Laden look. The church used a white man to get people to feel a better connection to Jesus. Like it would matter what color HE was.

Your image is some artist's imaginative creation and has nothing to do with reality.

To equate the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind with Bin Laden is in my opinion grossly disrespectful of the sacred beliefs of millions upon millions of people.

Unless, of course, Bin Laden *is* your savior and redeemer. Then everything's cool.

So you're "cool" with plotting, planning, and murdering 3,000 men, women and children on U.S. soil?

Your getting it wrong. As far as Bin Ladens, he happens to be very tall, middle eastern, olive complexion. He doesn't look like a monster by any means,although he is. I wasn't comparing Jesus to Bin Laden. Lighten up.

And do you think the picture that the Morman Church has hanging is not an artist opininon??

Of course not, lighten up!

By the way, it's spelled "Mormon."
