90% of the bible has been re-written and altered by man anyway
so in actuality could you call yourself a true christian?
If so then you, as a by-product, worship a man who considers himself a god.
As for the anti-christ.. according to your writings I'd say he's pretty much done his work.. the church has done nothing but spread hatred amongst it's people
become your own god who wishes nothing more than happiness on those around him. I believe that to be more noble than any god other men have ever thought up.
Besides, why would I want to follow a god who will condemn me to an eternity of pain and suffering purely because I do not praise him or his son?
Does this seem like a fair punishment?

I do have to ask though, how do you know who he is? Can you even be sure that your quotes from the bible are really quotes from christ? It could all be lies and the point I was trying to make is that until we are sure of what is true and what is a control, can we trust any religion or teachings?
Can you really still praise the name of a god that, to me, sounds like you have your own questions and doubts about?

There are certain events that i can directly relate to which happened in the company of Jesus.
For example, i know the level of fear that would have been flowing through the nephil spirits before they went into the swine.
i just wish you knew how horrific it is down there; in sheol. These demons begged Jesus to not be cast down into the abyss and luckily they got a second chance.
Yahushua actually showed the demons mercy. They begged Him to be sent into the swine. He could have, in His authority, sent them to the abyss...but he granted their request.

YHWH is angered when those under Him start calling themselves gods or decide to rise above mortals just like the anti-christ will.

What evidence do you have that these events transpired? What evidence do you have that rapture is coming?
If you have to constantly question your faith and never get any answers then why follow?
every man is his own god and every man has the ability to view the world as he/she sees fit.
Do you really need an entity that has produced such 'beautiful' times such as the crusades to tell you how to view the world?

Everything is pure awareness. We are all one. High powered gods control the awareness that we are to bring forward a scenario of their choosing. Awareness is free, but you, as awareness, have chosen to minimize your experience. You experience this decision as, "being under the control of gods". In reality, the gods are you.
Awareness is God. It brings forth all dualities. The absolute is a self sustaining life energy source. Our existence is fabricated from it. We experience self sustenance as "eating" but this is only one form of awareness. The possibilities are limitless. The universe is finite only to the extent of conceptualized possibilities. You are nothing more than a focusing of awareness. Awareness is focused through will. Whatever you wish to see will be seen, but you must first overcome the choice of the Gods. Anything that happens was allowed to happen. Prove yourself to God by proving that you can lovingly handle anything that comes your way. That is the test. It is a test that you cannot fail, but you have the ability to choose when you will succeed.
in that case i will write a book stating that today the sky was purple. According to your theory, 2 milleniums from now people will believe it because its in a book.

The world was what he [Jesus] made of it and for that he became a god.
Mt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

This is exactly the type of new age waffle that angers YHWH and then you wonder why this world is in such a physical and spiritual mess.
We have One God and only 1 God.
Everything else, from ameobas to angels, from zeta's to zebras. They are all on the same level.

Have you ever been in the company of the fallen gods in Tartarus ? i thought not.
