Sometimes.. when the surf is big, I go for a swim and I dive underneath the waves and I hang on to the sand. I can hear things... the clicking sounds of sand moving against sand, fish nibbling on stuff.... not much else.
I turn and look up... I can see the violence of the waves above me, relentless thundering white walls of salt water that somehow represent the torment that is the struggle of life.
I rest there looking up, listening and I feel my lungs expand under the strain.. oxegen depletion makes my face tingle... I fel like I am going to burst.... I can feel my temples pulsing ...just a few more minutes, I think to myself. Just a few more minutes of this glorious quiet and comfort, before I return to the surface and catch my breathe of air and continue with the struggle.
I don't think there is a god, but I am not sure.. in fact I am quite apathetic about the concept. I am apathetic because if there is a god then that god would care less if I choose to stay underneath those waves to my death.

Yes, I am sure. The Bible says that in the beginning was God and that the word was God and that the word was with God. In the beginning God created all things. For each country we have one ruler, for the universe we have One God.
2 Thes 2:2-12 says that in the last days satan will come and use every form of deceit on the world against the truth about God.
The questions about the true knowledge of God come from the evil one. He wants us to doubt and question God because he knows that without God and without Christ we have no eternal life; and if we have no eternal life, we have forever hell with him . Satan hates us with an everlasting hatred and wants to torment each one of us in hell forever and he knows the one way to do that is to separate us from God.

Yes, because there can be only one Supreme Origin. However, God can create duplicates of Himself as well as create representatives with so many god-like powers.

Yes, only one. Because when I meditate in prayer, I can only sense one presence. The Hebrew elohim is plural, as distinguished from el which is singular. It came from the Akkadian ilu (lofty ones) and the Sumerian dingir (righteous ones of the rocketships). They were aliens from the planet NIbiru. They were mistaken as gods. They were the ones referred to in Psalms 82 ("you are but elohim, all of you sons of the Most High, but like men you shall die").

yeah theres a single God. the bible says so, the first of the ten commandments says "There is only one true God" and i was raised to believe that there is only one God. there might be other names for that one God, but there is only one. there are also NOTABLE people that are that God's "inner circle" but they are not gods, but every religion has them. take the greeks. zeus is the MAIN GUY. and then theres hermes and the muses and all those people and then hades. in christianity, God is zeus and there's mary and joseph and adam and eve and of course jesus. and there's satan.

Even the almighty lord admits to other gods.
"Thou shalt have no other god before me"! And he also admits to being a jealous god. If he is the only one, then who is he jealous of?

I'm not sure, but I am willing to believe in what's true to me. God has presented many wonderful things in my life. What's true to you?

Yes, no doubt, The Holy Bible says so. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me. Jesus said in John 3:3, Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of Heaven. Our sins seperate us from God, Jesus came, died on a cross at calvery, to wash away our sins. Thats how much he loves you and me, He gave his life. How many people you know would give their life for you. When Jesus arose from the grave he forever washed away all sins and opened the door to salvation, to all who will accept his free gift. Eph 2:8&9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Have you ever accepted Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Have you ever ask Christ to wash away your sins and ask him to be your Saviour. You can right now if you beleive, just pray this simple prayer, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

"There's only one God."
LOL... If that's true, I'll eat your cat, Cat.
Today there are exactly 127 minus 127 gods... and yesterday the correct equation was the 122 minus 122 gods resulting in precisely in the same difference, ZERO.
(Don't ask me what the numbers mean - I made them up just for fun.)
