Once you are on the Yahweh path you have 3 main choices, correct?
If you select the second of those choices - Christianity, then you have a plethora of further choices.
No the whole order of God's will lead to Christianity, the Israelites were a step in the process, all other religions have no part in this plan except to be shown as false.
Quote:You stopped at the second choice - OK - it was in the OP - but from there - which group? Catholic? Greek Orthodox? Protestant? Jehovah's Witness? Mormon? Quaker?.......
The only thing mentioned was Christianity and what problems the different denominations brought in are man made not of God nor to His liking.
Quote:Each one of those delights in telling you that they are on the only true path and that only they will be going to heaven. Now its possible that they are all wrong in that, but, if they are, maybe the whole thing is wrong.
Some may most do not say they are the only way, Christ said He is the only way and any denomination or individual church that forgets this is in serious trouble.
Quote:The Jews and the Moslems will certainly say that they are all wrong. I'd guess Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs and all the rest would agree.
I'm sure they do, that doesn't mean they are right.
Quote:From where I sit the chance of you being right even if there is a theistic God is thousands to one against.
You must certainly be in the wrong seat.

It's kind of confusing, because at times Jesus didn't act like he was Yahweh, or part of Yahweh.
How so, God said He could not change His nature?
Quote: What's the point of Satan tempting him if he isn't a separate being. Why say "Let not my will, but your will be done" and "My God, why have you forsaken me?" If he is part of Yahweh.
Jesus was a human with all the same weaknesses as us.
Those were responses to the God the Father.
We can't understand the Trinity to any depth, it is beyond human understanding and God as not revealed the depths of the Trinity, apparently we do not need to know the depths of the Trinity.
Quote:Not that that's even close to the only confusing thing about that mess of a holy book.
I do not know anyone who can completely understand all the scriptures have within them, if we did we would possibly be more on God's level. God does however reveal to people what they need to know and at times things they wish to know.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
