Understandable so why do people always refer to the holy trinity. If God is not a man why bother refering to him as the father or Father God?

Well I have been thinking for the last few days that I should apologize to Sun Matrix for challeging him on this thread. Truth is I am afraid that I may have offended God by implying that the Bible may not be legitimate. Although I may not understand all the details I do feel somewhat like the statement......."You don't find many athiest in foxholes" I never claimed to be athiest, just that I can't for the life of me understand the whole Jesus in your Heart thing. And all the enigma involved. For instance this thread is full of the lie, but the Truth still lies behind the veil of " you just have to think deeper" Well it is just confusing, this search for truth and I am sorry Sun, cause if I am wrong I don't want God to get mad at me. Immature thinking, but honest.
Thanks for all of the input you have all added.

was just reading this and was wondering if you have seen the matrix yet. since this is what the thread is about. this is the interesting part of the whole thing. sure we can talk about christ and how he died for us all day and trust me the whole concept of that subject is so deep that its really a fun subject. [ but, the matrix, thats one thing that is we can actually SEE] (since there are so many that has to see to belive) we can SEE all around us. just wondering..[..have you noticed it yet? do you understand what it is? how it came to be? what the purpose is? ]
The problems in America are the result of people being led to believe things that are not true. America has been lulled into a deep sleep and it is now time to wake-up!
Psychological warfare is being waged against an unsuspecting public. As in any war, the most powerful weapon of all and the least understood by those who need to know is money.
In a letter to Thomas Jefferson in 1787, John Adams wrote: "All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects of the Constitution, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation."
What was true then is even more true today. Confusion surrounds the very meaning of the words money, dollar, wealth, inflation and credit. Add to this, widespread public ignorance and confusion concerning tax laws and you have a system designed to control and enslave the population.
The money system operates in a way that would astound most Americans if they only knew how it worked. A dishonest money system is at the very heart of America's economic and social problems. The degree to which the money system is corrupt is the degree to which all other areas of society are corrupted. Money is the builder or destroyer of society.
An honest money system brings prosperity to all citizens. A dishonest one enriches a few at the expense of everyone else.
If a group of men were able to gain control over the money system of a nation, would they not be masters of that nation? If they had unlimited power to create unlimited amounts of money, could they not direct the course of society and all of its institutions? If their alliance encompassed the length and breadth of the globe, would they not be masters of the world?
On November 22, 1910, the nation's leading bankers left by train, at night, from Hoboken, New Jersey on a secret mission to Jekyll Island, Georgia. Their mission: To create what was to become the Federal Reserve System. The essence of psychological warfare is to confuse the meaning of words and infiltrate the mind with conflicting concepts.
Use of the word "Federal" in the name "Federal Reserve" leads the public to believe that the Federal Reserve is a government institution. Contrary to this misleading use of language, the FED (as it is commonly called) is a private corporation owned by foreign and domestic banks and operated for profit. The FED controls the nation's money supply and interest rates, and thereby manipulates the entire economy, in violation of Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution that expressly charges Congress with "Power to coin money and regulate the value thereof." Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution says: "No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."
Gold and silver coin were taken out of circulation, removed as backing for our currency and replaced with monetized debt - in other words, credit. Credit exists only in the mind. It is not a substance, but and idea represented by bookkeeping entries and computer symbols.
In the book 1984, George Orwell warned that people were in danger of losing their freedom without being aware of it while it was happening because of psychological, emotional and intellectual manipulation: mind control. The manipulation of words and their meaning is the key to controlling what people think. Orwell called the redefining of words "Newspeak," where traditional definitions are eliminated while new meanings are repeated over and over again until accepted. The definition of the word "dollar" has undergone such a transformation to hide the fact that it is not money, but a unit of measurement for gold and silver coin.
Title 12, United States Code, Section 152 states: "The terms 'lawful money' or 'lawful money of the United States' shall be... (full article) www.freerepublic.com...

What's the purpose of me answering, you have already rejected the truth.
What's the truth? If you had presented the truth somewhere in this post, you lost me. Other people have asked you the same question, and you've been pretty vague.
The truth is that a world has been created whose objective is to keep you from serving God and accepting His Son as the Messiah. Part of this lie is the feminist movement, mother nature, goddess worship etc. etc.
You have a choice in who you will serve, as we all do.

These are the things spoken of in the Bible.
Doesn't that make some of you that don't believe in the Bible a little bit concerned?

If you don't believe in the bible, the current state of the world is concerning anyway. Nothing in the bible concerns me. The KJAV, NIV, and Good News versions were good reading, but as far as prophecy goes, I find the Hopi Indians, Vedas, and Aborigines accuracy much clearer. Thats merely my view. Others see it differently. Christians are behind the NWO, which makes it odd that Christians would be at all worried. They are on your side, you should be able to trust them. They historically came down hard on non-Christians, so logically, they should be more concerned, not from biblic prophecy, but from modern day fundamentalist religious zealots.

Fair enough, I'll tell you what I believe and where I'm coming from. I believe that the Bible is the Word of God. I believe that the Bible tells of a coming Messiah and also tells what will happen in the world that we live in.
I believe that Jesus is the Christ and Messiah of the world.

suppose you are asked to construct a genealogy of real people, but there are certain constraints. the number of words in this genealogy must:
beenly divisible by seven (with no remainders)
the number of letters must be divisible by seven
the number of vowels and consonants must be divisible by seven
the number of words that begin with a vowel must be divisible by seven
the number of words that begin with a consonant must be divisible by seven
the number of words that occur more than once, must be divisible by seven
the number of words that occur in more than one form must be divisible by seven
the number of words that occur only in one form must be divisible by seven
the number of names in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
the number of male names must be divisible by seven
and the number of generations in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
would it not be next to impossible to draw up such a genealogy? yet this describes exactly the genealogy of the messiah as given in the gospel of matthew 1 :2-17.
a hidden code encrypted in the hebrew lettering of the pentateuch, which is the name for the first five books of the old testament.
these are written originally in hebrew. if you take the first hebrew letter in genesis, skip 49 and take the next letter, and repeat the skip sequence, then every four letters spells torh (the Hebrew word pronounced 'torah', meaning 'the law of god').
this holds all the way through the first two books of the bible, genesis and exodus. when you get to the middle book of the five, leviticus, it stops. however, when you do the same skip sequence for deuteronomy and the book of numbers, it spells hrot, which is torh backwards.
go back now to the middle book of the five, leviticus, use the skip sequence again this time skipping every SEVEN letters, and it spells YHWH (pronounced YAWEH). which is the hebrew name for god!
so we have every 49 letters in genesis and exodus spelling 'the law of god' and pointing to leviticus, and every 49 letters of deuteronomy and numbers spelling 'the law of god' backwards and pointing to leviticus. every seven letters in this book spells YAWH; god himself.
Genesis Leviticus Deuterony
Torh->Torh->Torh-> YAWH

I have not read all the way through yet but felt inclined to mention. The first step to finding truth is the "fear of God". That fear will lead you to "ask". The Bible is meaningless gibberish until you "ask" then the veil lifts. To those who have yet to "ask" it will have no meaning, which is as it was intended. "The truth is so simple simple a child could understand". "Love God and Love your Brother". When you attack a Christian this is what you are attacking. You are saying "hate god and hate your brother". There are only two sides in this battle. You either believe one or the other.

I do *see* that something like the Big Brother Beast has come upon us, slowly, ever and always so slowly, yet quickly in this accelerated coming together in the last couple hundred of years.
I asked for inspiration in my "meditating" before I came to the computer tonight and was glad to find this thread is still breathing.

matrix: something within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes form.
The movie, The Matrix, generated a shockwave of stimulation to the imaginations of millions around the globe. The Matrix was released in 1999 and has been related to everything from a government conspiracy to a movie about the Christ paradigm. Even, this work, has been compared to the concepts found in the Matrix movie.
In brief, the movie is about Thomas Anderson, a man who discovers that the image of life and the world around him is a virtual reality controlled by a computer that has taken over the Earth of the future. Anderson teams up with Morpheus, the leader of a group of clandestine freedom fighters, to reclaim their individuality and 'wake up' the world to the realities of this predicament.
This work is directed toward exposing an evil force that has taken over the present world and distorted all reality of life as we know it. No better proof that this concept has scriptural basis than the strange paradigm described by Paul in his second letter to the church at Corinth: "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (II Corinthians 4:18). The word "temporal" comes from the Greek, proskairos, pronounced pros'-kahee-ros, meaning: for the occasion only, i.e. temporary. The word "eternal" comes from the Greek, aionios, pronounced ahee-o'-nee-os, meaning: perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well):
If such a deception was being perpetrated on mankind, then we would see a corresponding contradiction to reality in our world. Paul said the things we see in our world are temporary and the things that are not seen are constant. Few will disagree that the only thing constant in this world is change. Throughout our history we learn again and again that wealth and power rise and fall like the tides yet our major pursuits center around wealth and power. Do we live in world created with false images intended to confuse and pacify us, and blind us to a terrible reality that defines the true conditions of the world? Just a cursory consideration of a few random realities will show that we live in a world filled gross contradictions, horrific danger, unfettered deception, apathy, and unparalleled inequity.
