At the root of Judeo/Christian belief is knowing Who God Is.
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David. - Matthew 22:42
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. - Matthew 16:15-18
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. –I Corinthians 12:3
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. - 1 John 4:1-3
And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. - Deuteronomy 12:3-4
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. – 2 John 1:7-11
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27
But to us, they contain the words of God - they are alive. They are spirit and life.
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63
Moreover, man is not the measure of God.
And my testimony is this: That God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. And I've known Him for a half century and counting.
There is no such thing as the Judeao-Christian belief. That's like saying Christan-Mormon belief. Christianity and Judaism are mutually exlcusive. Ask any observant Jew.
Christians have borrowed, altered and reinterpreted many Jewish beliefs and scriptures, that much is obvious. That's about as far as it goes.
He certainly cannot discern Who God IS from text on papyrus. To him, “I am” is just “I am” – dead letters.
There is no standalone "I am" as a divine title in scripture, except in doctrinally tainted translations.
To the natural man, the Scriptures are just like any other ancient manuscript and are subject to his anthrocentric scrutiny. But to us, they contain the words of God - they are alive. They are spirit and life.
And your proof of such proposition is that some choose to believe it? So, if someone chooses to believe in pink unicorns on Jupiter does that mean they are real? Obviously some people think they are.
The words of men are neither spirit nor life. They are dead letters
That is about as convincing as saying all believers are hallucinating maniacs.
Moreover, man is not the measure of God.
What is God, Alamo-Girl? What one chooses to believe? Your God and Jewish God are mutually exclusive, incompatible. Your God and Allah are mutulaly exclusive and incompatioble. Everyonehas a "true" God thye claim.
And my testimony is this: That God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. And I've known Him for a half century and counting.
And my "testimony" is that he is. He "lives" in people's minds. His name is whatever men have decided to call him, but neither Hebrew nor Greek scriptures call him "I AM". And personal, anecdotal "evidence" is no proof. And repeating your self over and over will not make it a proof.
