Why is god seen as being different at different times in the Bible?  I thought there were no inconsistencies?

There is speculation, but Jesus came to right what Adam had wronged.  There are similiarities and you'll find parallels drawn between the two in the Bible, but they are completely different.  Jesus was with God as well as the Holy Spirit when the world was created, including Adam.  They are totally different entities.

No, different peoples beliefs on how to worship God. The bible was written by other people, not God...its like a folktale being told...thru the many times it is retold the story changes...The only CLEAR CUT message is that God wants you to believe in him.

If you read in the bible God is not even consistent with God. Genesis God walks around like a man, and has to look in the bushes to find Adam and Eve. Exodus God needs to hide in a burning bush or a pillar of smoke. Later we get a God who sees all, knows all and is everywhere at the same time. God is imaginary.

The verses you quoted are just one of many contridictions the Bible contains.  The most blatant one is the one that claims the Bible is the literal word of God.  If so, the Bible could not say anything which could even be the least bit ambiguous.  This of course accepts the premise that God is perfect.  Either God is imperfect, or the Bible is not God's\n literal word.

Just know that the Bible wasn't shot down from heaven in a celestial lightning bolt, all nicely printed and bound in book form- it had to have some transcribers who did the interpreting and writing.  These people undoubtedly put their own 'spin' on things, to to speak, going with the times or even just what they thought.  I mean, think of it this way- evolution has 'proven' the creation story wrong, and yet, who's to know what 'seven days' really means, in terms of the writers of Genesis, or of God Himself- seven days might be the deity's version of millenia (which would make sense).  Therefore, this is just another small detail that was mistranslated or added in- not God's wish.\n\nAnother take on it is one that I like- homosexuality is only spoken in the old testament, generally Leviticus.  However, there are a lot of things condemned in Leviticus, things we all do now, happily and with no guilt.  Why?  Because when Jesus died, he died for all sins, and belief in him frees you from those silly sins, like eating pork and being near menstruating women.\n\nHope that helps you.

Nice book. (If you’re a sadist)\n\n\n(edit)\nWhy would the old testament be in the book if this god decided to change his cruel, voilent and hatefull ways. Then you shouldn't present the old testament to me. If I tell you "Hey man, here is the word or GOD, the creator of all the universe! He is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-present!!!! ..But why then is there a part in his word that doesn't apply to our time?? I thought he is all-present which would mean his word will be timeless.

God and Jesus are different. God is the father and Jesus is the son of God.

Interesting question. \n\nOdd, how in the Old Testament that God is portrayed as vengeful and angry, and in the new, he suddenly seems to change his mind...

You answered your own question.  God would never contradict Himself, therefore, the book could not have come from Him.\n\nIt is a good rule to compare things said to be of God with the Bible.  If they don't agree 100% with the Bible, then they are not from God.

As most of the Books of the Bible were written they were real time events. For example Moses wrote the 1st 5 books (the Torah) of the Bible as many of the events were happening (i.e. the Exodus).\n\nBut God is still "writing stories" in the lives of Believers. God is active in my life today, unfortunately many non-believers simply dismiss the idea.\n\nGod is outside time and is always a present reality. He is in the past, present, and future simultaneously. This is why He is YHWH (Jehovah), it means I AM, not that I was or I will be, but I AM.

Christianity has been changed to the convienience of the people in power of it during the years, maybe it simmilarities were made because someone wanted to eliminate the egyptian beliefs and put the image of his god over the image of horus. Maybe it is a coincidence or more. maybe is a cultural mixture

We are all different, we come from different cultures, have different experiences.  Why would you think we would have the same understanding of God?\n\nGod does not impose himself on us as an objective reality, he writes his message on our hearts, not in our brain.  Imagine people approaching a mountain from different direction.  It the same mountain but people are going to see a different aspect of it.  None are wrong, its just a different perspective.

Be thankful people don't use the standards of 2000+ years ago! We really are more understanding than in those days. \n\n'Who made GOD?' and other type questions; I see many questions of this nature, and wonder how can humanity put into human understanding GOD and his plan. I mean I understand humanities need to understand things - but we are never going to understand these big concepts. \nDeath, GOD, etc. \nI totally agree that "it's clear Jesus said his Kingdom is not of this world."
