Is the house of yahweh truly a conspiracy against God and government, or is it the only way?

It would be considered as cult since it teachings do not line up with the teachings of Christ.  It embraces many old testmament practices, which is fine, but it denies the identity of Jesus as the Son of God who died for our sins...it looks like a jewish version of jahovah's witnesses.

You're quite right - and you have to consider how many of these people ahd political agendas of their own to fulfill. If there is any more doubt - how about the fact that the Bible has been editted to include and exclude certain items?

LOL! That is a weird theory, but I know what you mean. It is a joke to think people would take a book as more proof than scientific facts. And a god that is constantly destroying his own creation for political reasons is even more absurd.

by not supporting Israel, we are also denying that God exists, who led the Israel nation out of egypt out of bondage. They are His chosen nation, out of which the Messiah came forth

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.  IT's a fabricated - fake - "document" of a big conspiracy.

I agree with you.  I think that politicians prey on the superstitions of the public and try to convince the public that their agenda has a "GODLY" basis.\n\nPeople are pretty vulnerable to this tactic and vote for politicians on this basis but where in the Bible does it ever say that if the majority of the population wants something, it is the right thing to do?\n\nIn the Bible and every religious book, the majority has always been counted on to do the WRONG thing...\n\nThe majority wanted Christ crucified, the majority made fun of Noah building a boat in the desert, the majority (according to the Bible) are going to "HELL" or destruction.  According to the Bible, the minority are considered the "salt of the earth" and the majority are corrupt.\n\nIf we really listened to the Bible instead of picking and choosing the parts that will get a particular person elected, we wouldn't have a democracy at all but a Theocracy (a THEO-CRAZY)  \n\nI don't believe our government should be based on religion or  people's interpretation of any religion at all!  \n\nHow many people believe in Democracy at all?  If people do, then how can they say they are Bible Believing?  The Bible in no instance condones Democracy.  So do we believe in Democracy or the Bible.  (Actually, I choose Democracy but what we have today is not a democracy in the U.S. but a Republic of Corporations.  The "BIBLE" has been twisted to mean that if "GOD" approves of a people, he makes them rich...if he disapproves of them, "HE" makes them poor." Is that scriptural?)\n\nReligious politicians think that "GOD" must love Americans and hate every poor country.  Is that realistic?  Is it even scriptural?  I think not but the general public loves that idea and votes for the politician that they think will make them rich...how twisted!!!

I don't believe the concept of god was invented as a conspiracy.  It simply evolved from the anthropomorphization of ancient astronomy.

is there ANY truth to it - as in any truth in the bible, well then yes, it makes references to things that are real, egypt, rome, etc...\nit also contains what could be considered "accepted truth" in that its basic message(without getting to deep into some crazy rules and contradictions) is that we should not kill each other, treat each other fairly well and so on.  a majority of people out there believe this is the right "true" way to act, even if they don't.\nas for truth to god....well seeing has how most of the bible is kind of like an instruction book as to how to live, it needs some kind of reward/punishment system to get people to actually follow it, so my guess would be, in comes god.  he watches over you all the time and knows when you have been bad or good and...wait, sounds a little like santa claus on steroids.

The god of the old testament is not Satan, but is Yaldaboath.  Yaldaboath/Yahweh is an evil, manical, egotistical demigod who runs this world; he is not the Supreme Being worthy of worship.  Jesus was sent to rescue people from the damning hands of Yaldaboath to be with the Supreme Being, where they would live in peace and bliss.\n\nSatan is a being that is loyal to Yaldaboath.  He is a tempter of mankind, but is not the supreme evil in the world; that is Yaldaboath's role.  In the end, Yaldaboath will be destroyed.\n\n...at least that's what many of the Gnostics say. ;p

"Exodus 33: 'evil tidings' from LORD? Moses talked face to face with LORD, but only saw 'back' parts of LORD?"\n\nAre you trying to reconcile Exodus 33 with the Kabbalistic concept of Qlippoth?\n\nWhile its quite normal in most mythological systems for deities to tell humans that they won't survive gazing upon the deity's awesome visage, Qlippoth does make an interesting question here.  Perhaps the suggestion would be that while we try to look YHVH in the face, we are unable to really conceive of it and can only glimpse the "back", the Qlippoth, ie the stuff we don't like so much.  Interesting how akin it is to the way children think of their parents when they're young. Maybe someday humans will mature and be able to see YHVH in a more wholistic fashion.\n\n"Could there be two LORDS to consider, sort out, if there's also mention of the LORD of 'LORDS'?"\n\nIn the translation I'm looking at right now, I don't see the phrase "Lord of Lords" used in Ex 33.  However, when it does come up its referring to one or both of two things: The supremacy of YHVH in the pre-Abrahamic Judaic pantheon (before Abraham made his covenant with YHVH, the Jews were polytheistic and YHVH was one deity among many), and/or the supremacy of YHVH as a heavenly Lord to earthly Lords.\n\n"Which 'things' are an 'allegory' and 'mystery'."\n\nThere's no allegory in this chapter.  And, for me at least, the Bible in its entirety can be understood as a Mystery if one chooses to see it that way.\n\n"Why did story of Noah's Ark mention God and LORD, who notably gave Noah contradicting commandments?"\n\nThe commands aren't really contradictory: They don't "undo" each other.  So its not like there are two entities here giving opposite commands to Noah and using him as a pawn in some secret hidden war.  God doesn't say "save the animals" only to have Lord come back and say "don't save the animals."  There's just a confusion over number, which I consider being a result of bad editing - something that's bound to happen when a text is scribed, re-scribed, redacted, translated, etc. ad nauseum over the course of roughly 6000 years.

I do not, the ideal that one being ruling the entire universe is greatly flawed, not to mention the bible makes no sense. People always follow power, why not create the most-powerful being possiable and follow it?\nGod didn't create people, people created god.

I am not a Mormon, but in the studies I have done, I have found that Mormons believe in the Torah and the NT>  The problem is, they believe in it so long as it is correctly interpreted...by the leaders of the church.  Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, said that the Bible and all it's teachers were corrupt.  He claimed to have been given a new testament of Jesus Christ.  The Mormons use th Book of Mormon and The Pearl of Great Price as their ultimate authority on everything, including the OT and NT.  There were literally thousands of errors in the original Book of Mormon when Joseph Smith recieved the Divine revelation.  Those have been corrected, for the most part.  There is also the contradictions of scripture and revelation that have taken place since then.  At one point, the prophet, Joseph Smith and then the presidents of the church...Brigham Young, etc., stated as prophecy that Mormons will practice polygamy...that this was a commandment that shall be everlasting.  After the US government told them that they will abandon that belief or get kicked out of Utah and the US, a new, everlasting commandment, came down from God to the president of the church saying you shall not commit polygamy.  I hate it when gods are afraid of the gvernment. ;)  Sorry, my Christian bias came through there.

If KKKarl Rove and Dick Cheney are God, and that's your view of your God. I have another vision of what God is and it is a Christian view. Warmongering and profiteering isn't in any scriptures in my Bible either.

If it all be true God and Satan and the whole bit. Satan has done his work through the manipulation of people through the very thing that they think is protecting them from him. Come on a creature like Satan, with powers and has been around for who knows how long, you don't think he was smart enough to think of that and do it? It's what I would have done and I am just a regular mortal person, and if someone tries to twist that idea by saying things like God would never let the Devil do that, well he need not do it him self, he could just manipulate someone else to do it. People talk about the coming of the anti-Christ, maybe he was already here, say about one thousand, nine hundred and sixty years ago. That would have been about the right time for him to do all the damage to the human race that he needed to through their own religion. This maybe the reason the Bible is so absurd. Knowing some would buy into it and other wouldn't, know that this would put people in opposition to each other. I would have done the same thing.

Hmmm... you know... I don't think this question's getting a lot of answers because it's not being seen by anyone.  It took a LOT of searching for me to find it.  I think they're trying to hide the truth!  I wonder if Yahoo's run by a bunch of Masons!\nThere's no lengths to which their power will not reach...

It's entirely possible. The bible (both OT and NT) borrow liberally from other religions and mythology.
