I asked a question earlier regarding the use of "us" or "our" in the book of Genesis. I got a lot of responses that God is referring to the Trinity when he says this.

My question is, why does he sometimes refer to himself as "I" and sometimes as "us"? He will refer to himself as "I" when speaking to someone, but when speaking about humans he usually refers to "us" or "our".

How can you say he is referring to the Trinity if he is not consistent with the use?

Does anyone else have an alternate explanation?

ha i spelled it right. i'm re-asking it so people understand what i mean this time.
i dont know if i do. im pretty sure i dont. cuz god cant make people out of mud. and breath into mud/dirt to make them alive.
i dont know religion doesnt make scence. judism kinda does to me.my mom belives in god and my dad doesnt. and i have a (moderatly) religious family.
i just dont belive in that crap its just stories.
this is what i think:
see the way i figure it they were all stoners. how else would moses have survived? he ate/smoked pot.
(people used to drink/eat cocaine)
and thats how he saw a "burning bush" he could've been smoking and then it went on fire, or he coulda been scitzophrenic. that could be it.
i belive in moses
i dont know its all weird.
and how do people know this?
jewish people have better records. i think its year 5083 or something like that. my dads side of the family was jewish.
and better records mean better facts. the "10 comandmdments" movie, makes some scence

God, after creating the entire universe and then kicking out Adam and Eve apparently got lonely and bored and wanted contact with his creation again. He recruited people such as Moses to become, like, his secretary and dictated to him his views on Life, the Universe and Everything.

A little while later, god changed his mind and did a complete back-flip on a whole lot of his opinions.

Now, for someone who is all-powerful and all-knowing this is a little peculiar, no?

I mean if god knows everything, he should at least have the good sense to formulate his views properly before he publishes them, don't you think?

It has to do with either dealing with death or the afterlife

I remember when I was young walking round the corner with my mum from the Oxford St bus station in Belfast just before the IRA blew it up (on what is known as Bloody Friday). That one blast resulted in the murder of two soldiers and multiple injuries to people nearby. I believe this experience has given me a very different perspective on life as I have grown up as I have constantly reminded myself that had I not turned the corner when I did, it's quite likely I wouldn't be here now. I'm not saying I'm not scared of death, I am. But as I have grown older I have come to believe that when your number's up, it doesn't matter how much you try to wrap yourself in cotton wool, if it's going to happen it will.

So the question is, have you ever been in a situation where you could have potentially died? And has that experience shaped your life and attitude towards the life that you have?

Those who die in battle go to Valhalla, which is warm and has excellent mead; those who aren't so blessed go to hell where it is very cold and have only goat's urine to drink. Where do people get the idea that hell is hot?

http://www.near-death.com/cayce.html, I agree with him in my views, its not a religion, but teaches that christ, bhudda or whatever, was a being who was one with god, does it not say in the bible" know ye are gods", we are just not god as a whole, but are gods individualized from the great whole, all is one, examine how your thoughts and actions effect the world

There will be a meeting near me of Wiccan's, Pagan's and those who practice earth based belief systems, and I am invited to attend. What are some of the usual happenings I might expect to see at a meeting like this?

If the Devil speaks to you and say that he is God, would you believe him? You have to, haven't you? Because you never saw the face of God, and never will, and do not know how to distinguish the two.
Scary.

Many fundamentalist Christians will tell you that god causes earthquakes and other natural disasters to punish man. Apparently, god likes to throw his weight around every now and then to demonstrate how tough he is and show who is boss - An unusual way to behave for someone who is supposed to be all-powerful and all-knowing...

However, why do earthquakes occur on the moon? There are no people on the moon. Does god have poor eyesight and miss his Earthly target, or is he just practicing? Actually, he can’t miss because he’s god, and gods don’t need to practice.

So…

Any other thoughts?

Two year ago I was traveling by car with my family and we all saw the dark shape of a person and a dog standing next to the road, they were all black. It was around 3:00 in the afternoon. My father simply said that it was some lost soul and kept driving, but since then I haven´t stop asking my self what really was that. The road where we saw this creature was near to a cementery. We aren´t religious people, so we only know a little about the bible, but I was thinking that maybe other faiths have some answer to this.

It is a lie to claim that myth is truth. The affirmation of an ability to know about the existence of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth is a fraud that follows from the lie that myth is truth. Conservative ideological authorities perpetrate this fraud inorder to be able; to make threats against the life and or afterlife of anybody who does not submit to their authority; and to extort from communities of faithful believers tithes and offerings in exchange for a lifelong indoctrination in a standard of conduct that these same ideological authorities proclaim to be the discovery of the truth about the will of a good one in Heaven at war with and evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth.
