How do you know? This amounts to saying, "I know all the Names of God." The Ninevites are disagreeing with you here, i think. You've been to seminary, huh--i can tell.

There is a general term "God" but this is defined by context and speaker. Thus we have the Christian God the islamist (demon) god along with the other (demon) gods of all other false religions. If you wounder why i call them demon gods I am just agreeing with the Apostle Paul:

1 Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

There is His specific name Jehovah to which was added descriptive words in the old testament.

There is the name Jesus which we kow as God with us.

There is what some might call the title the Holy Ghost.

The ninevites had Jehovah preached to them and their repentance would have been to Jehovah not there wicked perverse gods. Therefore the ninevites agree with me.

And how many Names has Christ? You must know that "Love" is one of them? Forget completely all that death-centered yack they taught you, Luke--they had ulterior motives.

So you pray to love? Do you ever pray to judgment, wrath, mercy or omniscince which are all attributes of God just as love is an attribute of God?

There is salvation in ONLY one name that is the name JESUS:

Acts 4:10 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


John10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

There is no finger pointing going on here rather there is a loving warning that proclaims the truth that there is only one way to heaven and that way is Jesus. Are you saying that you believe that there are other ways?

yes, Luke; God reveals Himself to those who love Him. And wadr, those who love Him exhibit certain characteristics. There are also plenty of Scriptures to back up that you can not, ever, "know" God, which you approach in your final sentence. You know, on some level, that God exists. You "know" God.

He has revealed His existance to mankind.

The first of those chareacter istics is sorrow for sin the repentance which is followed up by love of the truth. There are NO scriptures that say we cannot know God. There are those that may say we cannot know all there is to know of God simply because we are finite and He is infinite but we can know who He is and what He is like and what He expects of us. With the afore mentioned knowledge of God there is no scripture (in context and not twisted) that disagrees.

But you have been trained that this must, ergo, then mean that your translators, that taught you their definitions, have the Spirit down to a 't,' and anyone who says that they have found God outside of that little inbred model are in error--despite many, many parables to the contrary. C'mon, Luke--you have a flock, yes? Could you de-sphincterize the Word just the slightest little bit? If you will but acknowledge that the devil is in the details--one detail being that you signed a promise to preach all that...whatever, despite any future revelations that may be to the contrary, you will begin to see what was stolen from you.

The unknown God is a name used by heathen pagans which Paul used to show how superstitious they were. We can know God. I do not base my doctrine upon what I told by men but rather upon the Bible God's ONE written revealed word.

Please name the Biblical parable that speaks of man finding God aside from or ourside of Jesus/the Bible.

I agree the devil is in the details or rather the devilis in the twisting of the details.
