rather than being a bearded white man - he turned out to have horns and cloven hooves.. He was still a benevolent God and all - just that they got his description mixed up when writing the Bible.
- what would you think?

I'm not sure what I *would* think, but I'll tell you what I *do* think.
I think someone just got done reading "Childhood's End."

Actually, the bible does not describe God as a white-bearded man. That is a popular misconception. In addition, the bible does not describe any character anywhere as having horns or cloven hooves. Not sure where you got your info, but it is not from the Christian bible.

Considering that satan's goal is to "fool the elect if possible" satan has emulating God down to a fine art- its very difficult to see evil when its lying and looking like Good.
I doubt that God is a Beared White Man. I suspect that if you drew a round circle, and put a bright arc lamp in the middle of it, and this special arc lamp wouldn't put out light but put out love, you'd have a somewhat poor but descriptive of what God the father would look like.
I didn't come up with this description- its an almalgalation of people who have had near body experiences and have come back to life

I would think that a bunch of old men who weren't alive at the time of Jesus wrote the Bible, which is the case. Why do you think there's only one book of the Bible named after a woman (Esther) and they tried to block that! Women are almost always portrayed as evil or at least clueless & therefore need to be dominated. Actually, if you believe this, you should watch out for a man who is attractive & charismatic for the evil son. Probably a man who has money & power.

The horns and cloven hoofs thing is not in the Bible. It came from the medieval miracle and mystery plays.

John 6:40 8 i'm the bread of existence, v.49Your fathers ate the manna in the desolate tract, and they died v,50 i'm the bread that got here down out of heaven that everybody would devour of it and by no skill die. v,sixty 3 it really is the Spirit that provides existence the flesh salary no longer something the words that I easily have spoken to you're spirit and our existence. Christ because the existence giving spirit dwells in our spirit for us to devour Him no longer basically prevalent yet at the same time as ever we need is basically through interpreting His be conscious. I comprehend what you mean about about accumulating manna and to pay a fee yet that continues to be something of the old testomony blending with the hot testomony. Christ paid the fee for us on the bypass, to change into the bread of existence to us in His resurrection, because the spirit that we would delight in his freshness every time. Christ is continuously clean and new. we ought to pay the fee through taking up our bypass and persist with him. uncomplicated strategies to soak up our bypass, is to be obedient and basically delight in Him on a daily basis because the authentic bread of existence. The more desirable we devour of Him in this form we are unconsciously taking up our bypass and following Him. The Lord is our ability and sustenance and nourishment, he's each little thing to us. All we ought to do is pray and study his be conscious, the praying is our ingesting of Him and interpreting the be conscious is our ingesting of Him because the bread of existence.

Well, I guess I'd just be confused about that whole "made in his image stuff" but personally, I don't think satan really looks like that either, so it's not something I'm anticipating seeing whether I go to heaven or hell.

Hades was an area of ancient Palestine that was used for all funeral pyres.
It was mistranslated and embellished through the ages.
