I have no problem ******* with the ape or monkey

personally a book of words written by man,before one can even get to any God they must believe in the men who wrote these books..so my faith would be what .."belief in what man has written' ..yea ain't going to happen.

And these books about God or Gods that never appear except way back when ..where did they all go and what at the same time..hiatus?

So the question becomes ..Is one's faith about God or what was written. I myself am not charmed by the words of man..I"ll wait for the word of God..from God..not man

The way I see it God if there is a God can speak for himself if he wants me to know him..in my eyes ..all else is false.

And there in lies another problem "how would I know that the one who stood before me claiming to be God was not a false God...quite the conundrum..

So will anyone's answer work for me..Hell no..smile2 spock

so god coveted another man's wife? God must be a liberal, because he uses the phrase " don't do as I do, do as I say"... God can't even keep up with his commandments...indifferent


I struggle to see how your post logically follows on from what I said in my post.

But I guess you're someone who doesn't like the idea of God and seizes any opportunity to criticise Him.

FYI, he didn't covet any man's wife. It's not like Mary literally had sex with God, or with anyone for that matter, because she was still a virgin and Joseph didn't go near her until after the birth of Jesus.

The power of God overshadowed her and created within her womb a zygote. The rest was up to natural biology.
God, through the angel, told Mary that she'd been chosen for this task of being the human mother of Jesus Christ, and Mary consented.

And as God, He is the one who issues commandments, but He doesn't necessarily have to follow them himself. He is God after all and sovereign over all. He does not need to answer to you for what He does.
You can sulk and say "well I'm not gonna follow and worship Him in that case" but that is like cutting off your nose to spite your face; it won't affect God, but it will have a detrimental impact on your future. God is the Creator, and therefore the supreme authority in the universe, and as such He can do as He pleases; it's His creation after all. Christians trust that God does everything for our ultimate good, even if it does not seem so at the time. God's act of causing Mary to fall pregnant while still a virgin is hardly a good reason to turn away from Him.
Mary was artificially inseminated? Wow, that's quite a feet for 2000 years ago...

I would say, all books are word from men(mankind), and people put 'faith' in words 'written by men'(mankind) every day.

Gender is specific to flesh and blood creatures
Spirit creatures have no gender
Man and woman represent Gods qualities
Women are caring and nurturing
Men are physically stronger and more disciplinarian and tend not to make decisions based on emotion (no offence intended)
The bible did say that mankind was made in his image (mental image)

I was taught that God created Man in His own Image.
Taught that Adam was Man.
Eve was made from Adam's rib.
So, by reason, God is a Man, or... Man is God.

My own belief is something different.
God is the Essence of the Universe.
Man is made from and exists within the Universe.
Like a brain cell in an organism, we are all part of the Universe.
So in essence, we are God and God is Us.

the one thing you will never read within the scriptures is an angel in the form of a woman. every angelic appearance throughout the scriptures came in male form. even Satan was male.

now about God...

Colossians chapter one and Hebrews chapter one claim that Yeshua is the physical identical image to the invisible God. Hebrews calls it the Express Image. since we know Yeshua was male, and we know He is the identical IMAGE to the invisible God, would make God MALE!!

learn your scriptures...it will give you the answers you seek :wink:

But Jesus says that the Spirit of Truth, not the scriptures, will give you the answers you seek:

"...The Spirit of truth, ...will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13)

And interestingly enough, neither the Apostles Creed nor the Nicene Creed, two fundamental statements of Christian belief, mention the bible at all.

some clarification: It seems upon research that SEX is regarding anatomy as it applies to procreation, which God would not need.

while GENDER refers to the feeling of how much one falls into a certain box of stereotypes associated with a SEX, in that sense, in all male roles described in the Bible(brothers, husbands, fathers) common traits include strength and leadership, which would best describe God and possibly why HE is referenced as He and Him throughout The Word.

and yet, Yeshua quoted from the scroll of Isaiah before beginning His own ministry. Him being God never once ripped the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes for reading the scriptures. in fact, each time they presented Yeshua with scripture He clarified it by explaining it in full detail.

example: they called Him son of David from the Book of Psalms. and from that same Book of Psalms, Yeshua explained that David called Yeshua LORD.

so there are multiple examples of Yeshua using the very same/similar scripture text and never once claimed it was wrong. He clarified the scripture as fact.

so, no matter how much you want urantia to be a fact, it never will be.

for scripture is fact, and our Lord and Savior quoted it and never once refuted it.

you need to throw that sci-fi crap away.

and look at the title of the urantia. it states "WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN..."

you are using what if's vs scripture and believing your what if's are fact.

that is just laugh laugh laugh too funny!!

God is both male and female. I think we call it transgender these days. He is male at most times but during certain holidays, he approaches us more closely by descending lower and takes on a female nurturing form to be closer to us.

Eve came from Adam's side, not his rib.

"If the appropriate translation is that God removed Adam’s side, how much of his side did God remove? It is possible that Eve was constructed literally from half of Adam. This would bring added meaning to Adam’s declaration that Eve was 'bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh' (Genesis 2:23)."

God used Adam’s rib to form Eve to show that they were actually the same created being, two halves of a whole. The female was not created as a separate being, second to the male. She was formed as part of the initial man, in order to be a “helper suitable” for the male (Genesis 2:18).

Woman, therefore, was created as a complement to man, as an integral part of man, and as a powerful and influential companion for man.

Furthermore, the Hebrew word translated “suitable,” kenegdow, carries much more meaning than simply “fit” or “appropriate.” This word also means “opposite or contrasting.” This implies that the two beings were designed to work and fit together perfectly, not just physically but in all ways. The strengths of each compensated for the weaknesses of the other. It was “not good” for the man to be alone (Genesis 2:18), but, together, Adam and Eve were something far stronger and more magnificent than either of them could have been alone. Adam had to lose a rib, but he gained so much more.

Whether God created Eve from Adam’s rib or from his whole side, He accomplished the act in such a way that showed the woman was to complement and complete man in the integral union of marriage. Woman was created to be “beside” man, not beneath or above him. In salvation, man is no more “worthy” and woman is no less a citizen of God’s kingdom.

And I don't use the "Yeshua" or the "Yahweh" affectations. I call Jesus, Jesus and God, God.

so, no matter how much you want urantia to be a fact, it never will be.


We'll see, we'll see. LOL. Time will tell. And so on.

Why do you keep bringing up The Urantia Book? Why are you always talking about The Urantia Book? You're like an atheist who can't stop raging against God. Or the guy in the bible who said about Jesus, "He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?" (John 10:20)

I think God must be making you talk about The Urantia Book, you can't help yourself. Why don't you try it?, try not talking about The Urantia Book. See if you can do it. Every time you mention it, there are open minded people, open to the leading of the Spirit of Truth, who might be thinking, "Hmm, I wonder what that's all about?" And I don't know if you know this or not, but this forum is called "General Religion Chat." It's not just a bible forum or a Christian forum, and you should also know that neither will your beliefs ever be factual, no matter how much you want them to be. You can't prove anything you say is true. That's the nature of beliefs and that's why they're called beliefs and not facts. You may be of the idea that what you believe are facts and what someone else believes are not facts, but the fact is that you cannot prove your beliefs are facts any more than I can prove mine are facts, and I'm not even trying to do that, it's you who is making all the assumptions. I have never said my beliefs were "facts."

for scripture is fact, and our Lord and Savior quoted it and never once refuted it.


Prove it's fact.

you need to throw that sci-fi crap away.


You need to read it. Only in ignorance can something be dissed that one knows nothing about as you're doing. That's what that bible guy did with Jesus, above, when he said Jesus was "mad" and had a devil. That's the same tactic you're using here.

and look at the title of the urantia. it states "WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN..."

Where does it say that? You are either mistaken or very confused. Many Urantia Books have passed through my hands over the years and NONE of them have ever said that. I demand to know where it says what you say it says. Are you just making stuff up? That's dishonest and not very Christian. And what sort of Christian are you, anyway? You don't even believe in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Don't try to deny it.

You can't know what Jesus really said (what He refuted or did not refute, what He promoted or did not promote) from the meager biblical records whose authors are largely unknown, and of course, there are no originals of any of those documents, just handwritten copies of copies of copies of copies, and they've been burned in fires and wars and lost to moths and floods and mold and mildew and altered by scribes by mistake and by scribes with agendas. And most of the New Testament is about Paul who wasn't even one of Jesus' personally chosen and trained apostles. The only way you can ever know what Jesus really said is to read the angelic transcripts of Jesus' life and teachings as they are contained in The Urantia Book. And they ARE contained in The Urantia Book. The complete record of Jesus' life and teachings from God's universe government. It's all in The Urantia Book, but you have to read it to believe it. No one can do that for you. And thank you again for constantly bringing it up.
