2 Corinthians 4:4
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

No this does not offend the Christians or others, because we know that is not true. God is the God of all ages, that goes way back . The only ones who are blinded are the ones who can not see the truth and the light. The reason they don't see , is because they have choosen to go that way. So in other words, the unbelievers are blind, as they do not see the light Because they are the un-believers. So I don't know what you mean , when you quote the god of this age. I will look that one up to see what else is attatched to it. The ones who do not believe in God are the ones who are blind and do not see the light.

I am not blinded. I know who Jesus is. He is the image of the invisible God.
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

I'm not really sure I understand this verse very well... I can see why you ask if I've be offended. I'm thinking it could be interpreted in several ways, and I also wonder if the writer might be expressing his opinion or belief on the matter. To answer your question, I'm not offended, but I'm confused.

No. The god of this age is not the God that we as Chrisitans believe, but is really Satan (I'm assuming this is probably going to offend some people). Our True God is not the god of this age, but the God of Eternity, who is not Satan.

Not in the least, since I don't take the bible seriously, or believe a word of it.
