The world produces enough food so that no one needs to go hungry. Greed is the cause of starvation.
This is correct. Does 5% of the worlds population consuming 40% of its resources ring a bell.

Open an interlinear Hebrew translation of the flood account and see how the words God and Yahweh are used to refer to the same person.

From Exodus;
Quote:20:1
And God spake all these words, saying,
20:2
I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
So when the Lord speaks, God speaks.
By the way what religion are you that you don't believe in the Lord being God? There are over 30,000 Christian sects in this world so it's difficult to speak to a Christian. No matter what you say someone from some sect will disagree with you.
Mindy may be 30,000 all by himself, er, themselves. . .
The Jews do not use Yahweh as it forbidden in the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not take the the name of thy Lord in vain". They substitude Adonai or Lord then add the title "Thy God" after.
...and lets not forget Jealous (Qanna). He uses this 6 times.
''In addition to the minor evils, there are numerous universal good purposes in the existence of Satan, and human attainments and perfections. Yes, however many degrees there are from a seed to a huge tree, the abilities lodged in human nature are more numerous. There are degrees from a minute particle to the sun. For these abilities and potentialities to develop, action is required, a transaction is necessary. The action of the mechanism of progress in such a transaction is brought about through striving. And striving occurs through the existence of evil spirits and harmful things. Otherwise man's station would have been constant like that of the angels. There would have been no classes in human kind, which resembles thousands of species. And it is contrary to wisdom and justice to abandon a thousand instances of good so as to avoid one minor evil.
For sure the majority of people embrace misguidance due to Satan, but importance and value look mostly to quality; they look to quantity little or not at all.'' 13. Flashes - BSN

Yeah, but adjectives and titles are not names.
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Look at the verse below Now if God and the Lord are the same entities does it not strike you strange that the LORD tells the children of Israel not to profane the name of their God. If you are their God you would tell them not to profane your name.
Leviticus 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou
profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
Leviticus 19:12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou
profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A man of wisdom

God is saying don't profane my name. Lord is his title. It means "He causes to be".
They are one in the same. Learn your Bible!!

An adjective used as a name; what could that mean? Call me confused. . .
Mindy, what is the difference between 'LORD' and 'Lord' in the KJV?
neologist wrote:Mindy, what is the difference between 'LORD' and 'Lord' in the KJV?
Close to the same difference as there is with LORD, and LORD God,

You really
don't know, do you?
If we did not know, we would not have brought it to your attention. Nice try.
Last time we checked there is a difference between the Lord Jesus Christ and God. Unless of course you are one of those who believes that Jesus Christ is the One God.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Nobody is born evil; that's middle age thinking, demons and such. And I doubt that anybody identifies with evil. Evil comes from thinking that good ends justify any means. The people of Europe thought for a thousand years that war was the answer to their problems and that culminated in the Third Reich. Even Hitler and Stalin were sure that they were improving things. They never had any doubts, and that's the problem. Nobody was around to tell them they were doing wrong, and if anybody did they weren't around for long.
People in power like to surround themselves with people that reinforce their ideas, and that's their weakness. Good leaders surround themselves with people with disparate ideas to avoid fanacticism. Doubt is their friend and not their enemy.
The press is one of our last safety valves, the last to say that the Emperor has no clothes. We can judge any administration by its reaction to the press that attacks them. The most dangerous goverments try to silence the press by shutting them down or arresting them.
