[ As a Christian I can tell you that there is not a plethora of “gods” on this planet. And if you know that His name is Yahweh, you know that He is the only one. ]

You are quite WRONG... many people view their creator in hundreds of ways.. Whether there is a REAL God or not I have not addressed.. yet.. Many are searching for a God, or even an originator of things.. as a "force" of some kind.. People search with what they have to search with.. with the tools they accept.. The search is real and profound..

In the judeo christian search, God finds YOU, you do not find God.. as I see it.. Thats the way is should be I think.. The Holy Spirit is a deep truth, that many are oblivious to.. for various reasons..

Thank you for your comments hosepipe.

Please take care that your conversation does not spiral into a debate. This is a devotional thread. It is meant for reflection, prayer and thought - discussion is welcomed as long as it is respectful.

I take the ten commandments literally, hosepipe. I believe that Yahweh is the only God. Being a Christian, I cannot believe otherwise.

You talk about people searching for god.

I tell you I found God, not a god. This means that I accepted Christ as my savior. Just existing within God’s world did not save me. It was by accepting Christ and His gift of grace that I finally found him.

God did the work on my soul, most certainly, but I had to fall on my knees to accept it.

If you cannot see this distinction, it means that you are unable to accept my faith in God and what I believe at its face value.

That’s your problem, not mine.

And none of your pontificating will convince me that I have not found Him.
