Ever see the movie "The 10 Commandments", when GOD,
(or was that charleton heston) yelled out the commandments
in his best King James english(yeah, right, 800 BC, and God
is speaking at 1500's version of a language that doesn't even exit yet)?
Well, what would god say to us in King James english if he chose
to do so in our modern day? Here's a few things I think he would
say to us
1.)What part of "thou shalt not" don't you understand?
2.)I love you and you and you and you and you and you and.........
3.)We need to talk
4.)Need directions?
5.)Big Bang theory? You've got to be kidding!
6.)Keep using my name in vain and I'll make rush hour longer!
7.)That "love thy neighbor" thing? I meant that! Really I did!
8.)My way IS the highway!
9.)Don't make me come down there! I mean it!
10.)Explain this Holy Trinity thing to me one more time.
11.)I created you, gave you live, and you go and elect Bush?

"bajracj" put a really heavy explanation of the holy trinity on here on the second page of comments.
It's pretty much a mindbender, as he goes
through this whole intense thing about the history how how the concept of the "Holy Trinity" was created by Emperor Constantine in the 300's to unify Christian
and Pagan beliefs. Thats a mindblower to realize the concept of the HT was created
by fiat by a pagan Roman Emporer.
Turns out that all that trinity stuff was dredged from ancient greek philosophy and Egyptian Zoroasterism philosophy.
So we are really praying to Plato and Aristotole when we say the "Apostles'
creed".All we are doing is paying lip service
to ancient greek tripartate philosophy.
And then they went and turned orthodox on us! Go figure!

Language is, I suppose, invented by Man although there are those who say you can only pray validly in a Biblical language: Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, Greek . . .
I suppose that God would say, in whatever language (if any) He speaks, upon looking over at Mankind, the equivalent of "Oh my God!" or "What hath God wrought?" One or the other.

The Truth about the Trinity
325 AD - Constantine convenes the Council of Nicaea in order to develop a statement of faith that can unify the church. The Nicene Creed is written, declaring that "the Father and the Son are of the same substance" (homoousios). Emperor Constantine who was also the high priest of the pagan religion of the Unconquered Sun presided over this council.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica:
"Constantine himself presided, actively guiding the discussions and personally proposed the crucial formula expressing the relationship of Christ to God in the creed issued by the council, `of one substance with the Father'."
The American Academic Encyclopedia states:
"Although this was not Constantine's first attempt to reconcile factions in Christianity, it was the first time he had used the imperial office to IMPOSE a settlement."
In the preface to Edward Gibbon's History of Christianity, we read: "If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The Church of Rome . . . changed the pure Deism of the first Christians, into the incomprehensible dogma of the trinity. Many of the pagan tenets, invented by the Egyptians and idealized by Plato, were retained as being worthy of belief."
"Christendom has done away with Christianity without being quite aware of it" (Soren
Kierkegaard, cited in Time magazine, Dec. 16, 1946, p. 64).
The Pagan Trinity
"The three-in-one/one-in-three mystery of Father, Son and Holy Ghost made tritheism official. The subsequent almost-deification of the Virgin Mary made it quatrotheism . . . Finally, cart-loads of saints raised to quarter-deification turned Christianity into plain old-fashioned polytheism. By the time of the Crusades, it was the most polytheistic religion to ever have existed, with the possible exception of Hinduism. This untenable contradiction between the assertion of monotheism and the reality of polytheism was dealt with by accusing other religions of the Christian fault. The Church - Catholic and later Protestant - turned genocidal on the two most clearly monotheistic religions in view - Judaism and Islam - and persecuted them as heathen or pagan. The external history of Christianity consists largely of accusations that other religions rely on the worship of more than one god and therefore not the true God. These pagans must therefore be converted, conquered and/or killed for their own good in order that they benefit from the singularity of the Holy Trinity, plus appendages." -- The Doubter's Companion (John Ralston Saul)
Have you ever noticed that Bible Dictionaries and most scholarly religious encyclopedias and reference works don't use scriptures when discussing the Trinity? Why is that? Because they don't prove a trinity. For a trinity you need "THREE". But if the Trinity is not in the Bible, then where did we get it from? Welcome to the Nicene Creed.
"Anyone who can worship a trinity and insist that his religion is a monotheism can believe anything." -- Robert A. Heinlein
“Just as the ocean cannot be contained in the tea cup, so the infinite god cannot be contained in a finite man.” –Steven Johnson – convert
The Trinitarian might be compared to one of those cells in the honey comes, where a drone is bread to be a plague. Arnold Toynbee - historian

Open up your hearts to your brothers and sisters listen to what they truly have to say. Using a kind sympathetic heart identify with their view. Try to identify with their strife, why do they feel the way they do? Should I change my ways? By chance are they right? Just exactly what makes my way is the only way to think?
Question every ill feeling, is there some deep rooted cause, it might be right, it might simply be though that you are simply copying the ways of your Parents! They might not of been correct in everything!
Do not be sarcastic, basically people are really good, true there are some few who are really sick, but down deep humanity is really basically good!
God would say today "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
.
See I have just seen all people of all races and religions Volunteer to help us on the Mississippi Gulf Coast work for nothing but the Love of mankind, together as brothers and sisters unified as ONE to help us recover from Hurricane Katrina and they are still are here after one year!

What if: What if Eve and Adam did no longer consume from that tree? we'd ALL be sinless and residing for eternity. i be responsive to those that say that they are especially chosen do no longer % to respond to this question, yet right here that's! the respond is: we are all "predestined" from Eve and Adam as God's! Or God made some to die and not in any respect be His - it is a contradiction considering the fact that Eve made the "determination" for us - some time past then. we are all predestined. some settle for the "call" some do no longer.

My tears are the rain...
My sadness is found in the darkness of the night...
My disappointment is expressed by the thunder during a storm...
All that I've created has become distruction once again...
Mercy, Grace, Compassion, and Unconditional Love...
I see very little upon this earth that I've created...

He'd point and laugh at us for following him and believing in him for the last 2000 odd years, then scratch his ***, crack open a beer and watch the football with a take away pizza just like every other man would.

I love #9! I think he would tell us that he loves us and that if any of his "children" need him, he is there for us always. We can talk to him through prayer and he will listen.
To those that don't believe, I will pray extra hard for you.
