    Christianity clearly has two Gods, God the father and Jesus the son. They are not the same person. And the Holy-Spirit, who is also somehow God, could best be explained as holy God (*)(*)(*)(*) since he used his holy spirit to rape his own mother so he could give birth to his son, who is somehow him.

    in the Jewish religion he was one God, but in part II, he split into two Gods, it's how Gods reproduce ;)

    I give up. Since 2 hours I'm thinking about what your motivation could be to say what you said here. What is it?

    Three persons, one substance. Each person of the trinity is fully God. Think of two versions of you. One from the past, and one from the future came to visit the current you.

    "Let it be done to me according to thy word."

    - The Virgin Mary

    It's not rape if she was willing.

    A slut is someone who sleeps around. Mary didn't sleep around with anyone. Jesus had a father. He was God.

    As I recall from the Old Testament if a woman had sex out of wedlock she was considered a slut and was supposed to be stoned to death. A bastard was a child born to a woman without a husband.

    : a spirit or being that has great power, strength, knowledge, etc., and that can affect nature and the lives of people : one of various spirits or beings worshipped in some religions

    Then there is Satan, nearly as powerful; all his minions, and all of the big guys minions. Probably more gods than the Greeks had.

    But what is special about xtinaity it that its monotheistic.

    You in different time periods is not the same thing at all. Horrible analogy. You in two different times is not separate entities. It's just a different time for the same exact being. This is three entities all at the same time. You wouldn't say three of you in the same time are the same being, would you? That'd be physically inaccurate.

    How can three different beings be the same thing? And why was Jesus begging god to not crucify him if he's the same entity?

    One of these "entities" is Reality while the other is His image, or Truth.

    Man can not discover Reality, but must deduce it from the Facts he collects in the formation of Truth inside his mind.
    This does mean that one, Reality, is the father of the other, and men can only know Truth as a mediator into discovery of Reality for what it is.

    He was "Truth,"...

    The Trinity treats the Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost as one. This is based on John Ch. 1 vs 1-4.

    What makes this so hard for people to understand is that they believe God is a person, not a concept, i.e.; Reality.

    Once they realize that God is the force behind the ever unfolding next fame of Reality, they can see that this begets Truth in its wake, more as a History of the past realities which had unfolded.

    Truth is the son of the ever unfolding Reality, and the image of it.
    Truth is what men must use to to figure out what Reality has done, and Truth reveals the Natural Laws which can help us discern the future yet to come.

    As men acquire truths, what is called the Holy Spirit, they become a part of this union in triad with Reality and the ideal of Truth.

    Well I guess your a biblical scholar then? Go back to the bible and read the old testament again, you will find what I refer to. I know it's there as it is one of the reasons I no longer follow this religion of hate and murder.

    But please tell me that god does not tell the Jews to stone their son or daughter for sexual deviance this will be so much fun!!

    Not only that but how the hell is it a sacrifice for God to sacrifice himself to himself? Especially when God's obviously immortal.

    I always thought the part where you are supposed to take your wife to the doorstep of her father and stone her to death in front of him if you find out she's not a virgin on your wedding night was one of the better examples of Gods morality.

    Nothing like addressing sexual curiosity with a brutal murder.

    The burden of proof is on you. Specifically, we're looking for women who had sex out of wedlock and were considered sluts and were supposed to be stoned to death. Are you using KJV? Where is it written? Better yet, name one woman who was stoned to death. I can't think of one.

    Before I point out the verses where god says to kill loose women are you sure you don't want to find them for your self? I mean if you are the christian shouldn't you be the one who is familiar with the bible not me? Your god has

    decreed that women need to be killed for a number of reasons and if you insist I will provide the verses for you but that will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I know more about your bible than you! So do you really want

    me to point them out or do you want to just let it go? Please let me know.

    P.S. I will be using the KJV. as I'm told it is the best interpretation of this book, I'm not sure I agree but I was raised by a Baptist Preacher and out of respect for him I'll go with his recommendation.

    some are very uncomfortable with the idea that the devil knows scripture.

    That was a general statement of course, concerning those to whom it applies.

    If anyone around here is representing the Dark One, i'd say it would be the nominal "Christians" here who are so full of falsehood and calumny.

    I just dont get it how they can be such liars, and be utterly free in all matters of conscience.

    it's residual to the reversing of polarities on the natural moral compass. if you first accept the Big Idea, you're then forced into the position of incrementally adjusting your ethics to accommodate the facts of what you've accepted. eventually, night is day. you're no longer able to determine good from evil, since you've spent years defending evil and calling it good.
