To create evil one must be evil - Is God Evil ?

The Lord is God. Who else would they be speaking to?

Quote:

A. Yet for us there is (only) one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things, and for Whom we (have life), and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through and by Whom are all things and through and by Whom we (ourselves exist) (1 Corinthians 8:6, Amplified Version).

The term "Lord" is used interchangeably throughout the Bible to refer to both God the Father and to Jesus Christ.

The Lord and God are one in the same. I dare you to go into a Christian church and tell them otherwise.

Here's an example.

The President of the United States George W. Bush.

The President said........

George Bush said.........

Same person different title.

Who is God?
Who is Bush?

Who is Lord?
Who is President?

Who is Lord God?
Who is President Bush?

When the Bible says the Lord spoke to Moses who do you think is speaking to Moses?

Are you to tell us there are two Gods, one called God and the other Lord?

xingu,

watch it now. Don't put them two words too close. Some nutcase might misread it and start shouting Lord Bush, and we definitely don't need that.

The Lord and God are seperate entities who are ONE in spirit. Just like you have Jesus Christ, and God. They are two entities, yet they are One in spirit.

Man is the problem and Man is the solution.

Everything is one in spirit. We're only separate in ignorance.

So explain to me exactly how man causes drought, and how man can fix it.

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Genesis 6:6-7

If everything was One in Spirit, there would be no disagreements. To be One in spirit is to be in agreement or harmony. We see none of that.

Apart from all the long lists of murders you all forget the flood where the old testament god wipped out the entire world bar 8

For beginners how about wasting less water. One doesn't have to flush the toilet everytime One urinates. Imagine the millions of gallons of water that is wasted by this act.

None of that will help many Africans for whom nothing grows. This unending rationalisation of everything unexplainable in order to sustain an ancient superstition is immature in the extreme. It's time you grew up.

And that makes more rain how?

I gotta admit, Mindy; you have a point about cause and effect. The generation wiped out in the time of Noah was a generation of violence who had ignored Noah's preaching. The Canaanites effaced by the Jews were practicers of child sacrifice.

But you sure are mixed up with God's name, Mindy. God and lord are both titles. God's name is either Jehovah or Yahweh when pronounced in English. It means 'he who causes to become". It is represented by four Hebrew letters known as the tetragrammaton, yod, heh, waw and heh. It is found over 6000 times in the Hebrew scriptures. The Jews, in their superstition, refused to pronounce Jehovah's name. Now folks would just rather not hear it. Bible translators habitually replace Jehovah with 'Lord ' or 'Elohim' or 'God'. (The king James Version used the all capital 'LORD' to translate the tetragrammaton in their work.)

This does not mean that where the generic term God appears, that some other entity is being identified; otherwise who was it that created the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1?

One must examine the context or, preferably, the original text to determine who is being referred to.

The world produces enough food so that no one needs to go hungry. Greed is the cause of starvation.
