Now hang on just a minute here. I' have to disagree with you on this one. The christian God is NOT a false God. He is still the great original creator you speak of, we only worship and visualise him in a different way. Whether this is the correct way, we wont know until we die. In my opinion most major religions, including paganism, encompass and worship the creator in some way. None of them are FALSE. Different yes, false no. None of them are "perfect" religions. All contain flaws and misconceptions but if your religion includes the qualities of love and balance you are still worshipping "the" creator.

If you were to study the miracles of the Swami in India known as Sai Baba, you would find that it is documented that he has duplicated (some say surpassed) every miracle attributed to Jesus of Nazareth.

Secondly, do you honestly think that The Original Creator would allow thousands of innocent children around the world to be sexually assaulted by the ministers of His One True Religion?

Thirdly, if the Bible was inspired by direct contact with The Original Creator, then the ambiguity and fragmentation contained therein would have also been amended from the very beginning.

There would be little or no doubt in our minds. His miracles and His spiritual presence would be far greater than any prophet that has ever walked on this or any other planet.

Are you saying that if our God was the true one why aren�t millions healed just by reading the bible?

This is a website:

there are several other sources and links I have for you proclaiming him to be a fake.
You say he has duplicated and surpassed all Jesus' miracles? Well I'd like him to be crucified on a cross and then and sent to hell for three days for the very race that tortured,denied, and killed him. Perhaps then we'll gain a better idea of who the real Messiah is.

I never said Christianity was "the one true religion" I said it was the way in which I chose to view and worship God. Big Difference. If you're Original creator is so omnipotent and compassionate why doesn�t he stop all violence and wrong doings in the world?

Point taken, however one must bear in mind that the bible is not the focal point of Christianity. Christ having died and risen is. However what you just asked me can also be translated back into a question for you. If your Original creator is not part of any of today's mainstream religions why doesn�t he simply intervene and stop the fragmentation and misconceptions of spiritualism as a whole?
Originally posted by Seeking Soul
Why would he allow the presence of belief systems of any sort that are contrary to his one true reality? You say he has yet to come? When is that? And what happens to all the poor people that died before learning "the truth" considering he has not yet appeared?

This in my opinion simply takes away everything that religion is. The whole point of religion in my view is to be able to choose for yourself. It is an internal battle, with knowing he is there, but still having that small shadow of doubt which sometimes leads us into temptation. If I knew without a doubt that God existed, and I arrived home one day to see him sitting on my bed and performing miracles I'd probably lead a completely or very almost completely sinless life. But it is because I am not 100% sure that I sometimes sin. Therein lies the battle and the eventual triumph. It is because I still believe, but have little physical proof to base my belief on that will allow me eventual admittance into heaven or a better incarnation.
This is the glory of the Christians belief of free will. You may CHOOSE to ignore God or you may CHOOSE to accept him. This is the real test and I believe the reason why God doesn�t reveal himself to us indefinitely.

I read the website link but I'm still rather unclear on what it is exactly that you believe (I'm not trying to be antagonistic here I'm genuinely curious)
I see also from your other threads that you believe in reincarnation. What sort of reincarnation? I'm not really very well versed on the topic but through some reading It seems that there are 2 basic beliefs. One being the Buddhist theory that if you live a good life you will come into a better incarnation but if you are evil you will come into a worse one (if I come back as a tapeworm I'll know ). The second theory is that young souls start off at the very bottom of the heap and work their way up (i.e. you'll start with a crappy life and gradually get a better one every time) the aim being to learn a lesson in every life, and if you fail to learn it you will return at the same "level" to relearn it. What is the type that you believe in, or is yours different?)

Anyway back to the original topic....I agree with you that Zetan Greys and other aliens are not demons. So essentially even if our beliefs differ we're still agreeing on this particular thread.

A group of the renegade reptilian race Anunnaki of Nibiru and Alpha Draconis (the �fallen angels� or infernals) is inhabitant between two worlds in the lower astral planes of the Fourth Dimension of planet Earth, a dimensionally instable region and not permanent for the establishment of a galactic race. Dwelling in this place beyond the human sensorial perception, its integrants are invisible to human beings allowing them thus to be able to work �behind stage�, as the puppeteers on a puppet theater, in the temporal or permanent possession and the manipulation of the �sleeping� humanity, that is, who lives in a drowsiness of the material life, and to act in the earth governments through cunning and unscrupulous human agents. Due to the proximity to third dimension they can manipulate and feel this dimension. Popular wisdom calls these beings, �demons.�

Nobody that has replied to thread is atheist as far as I can see. Atheists are people who dont believe in a God or higher power at all. Just because Paul doesnt believe in our Christian God, it doesnt make him an atheist, it just means he has a different set of beliefs and we should respect that.
