Muslim, Jews, Christians... all believe in the 'God' of Abraham. It is the stories of that God that differ.

This is true according to the Bible, I personally believe its the same God described in many other religions also.

When was God seen in the Old Testament, By the way Jesus is God.

Many Old Testament figures reputed to have seen God "face to face" ,including Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Amos, and seventy unnamed Levite elders.

By the way. Jesus is not GOD! This belief was introduced via a corrupted Church. The pagan kings persecuted the Christians and then put their people in positions of power within the church.

Nonsense talk. Even with the years of practicing to cover up the bullshit. The Bible apologetics have failed miserably.

For example. Jacob wrestled with the invisible GOD?lol They now say that was Jesus. But wait! If Jesus is GOD, wouldn't He still be invisible?lol

Your try was just as bad.lol

1.Genesis 32:30
So Jacob named the place Peniel, for he said, “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been preserved.”

2.Exodus 33:11
Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.

‘God’s Not Dead’ Rocking Box Office in Stunning Debut — Per-Screen Average Near Top of the Heap
Mar. 22, 2014 4:13pm Dave Urbanski


Indie film “God’s Not Dead” is rocking the weekend box office, bringing in $2.8 million from just 780 theaters on Friday. Its $3,613 per-screen average was better than any movie in the market except for “Divergent” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” The Wrap noted Saturday.

It was running third after Friday and will likely come in around $8 million for the three days.

The low-budget PG-13 drama about a Christian college student (Shane Harper) in an epic battle with an atheist philosophy professor who threatens to fail him if he refuses to disavow God’s existence.

Freestyle Releasing co-president Mark Borde said he wasn’t surprised about the movie’s big initial draw at the box office.

“While this huge opening may be a surprise to the industry, it is not so much to us,” he told The Wrap on Saturday. “The in-house tracking, the legitimate one million Facebook fans, the very high trending on Twitter and Fandango among many other platforms, and the huge positive reaction from the hundreds of screenings over the many past months, gave us hope for a significant opening.”

Actors Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain and “Duck Dynasty” stars Willie and Korie Robertson are among the recognizable names who appear in the movie in an effort to spark public conversation about God’s existence.

Sorbo, a Christian, plays the non-believing Professor Radisson. He told TheBlaze he hopes the film shows skeptics that “there might be something greater out there.”

Your plot summary is challenged:

Josh is a college student studying law, so apparently he wants to be a lawyer, [the movie] really has to do with the experience he has in philosophy class, his teacher wants to skip [the section of] the course with religion because he thinks that it's pointless. That's where the challenge comes to josh he wants to stand up for his faith so he goes on this journey, and well you'll have to watch the movie to find out.

Philosophy classes are not where a Christian student takes over the curriculum and demands a discussion on God. If you do that then you have to include Bhudda, Muhamad, etc etc, not to mention Lao Tsu; it’s not a religion class: it’s a philosophy class. For that matter; what is a philosophy professor in a Christian college

doing telling a student NOT to talk about God . . .?

Your summary reeks of disillusion.

I have to say though, that this new version of a US reformation is getting real interesting.

I don't see how that is inconsistent with the God of the new and old testament being the same thing. The bible contains many inconsistencies, that does not make its overall message invalid.

One? This CLEARLY shows that the Bible is NOT infallible a claim preachers(wolves in sheep's clothing) make. You can argue it was INSPIRED by GOD but NOT written by GOD!

TWO? It clearly shows a MAJOR discrepancy. The god of the O.T seems more mortal. The GOD of the NT is DEFINITELY more Spiritual. That explains why the laws of the OT are more fleshly, and the Laws of the NT are more spiritual.

It may have roots in that, but I see it as a useful way of describing three components of God.

It's bullshit. There is GOD, the spirit of GOD(which is still GOD not a third person, unless speaking of the "Spirits" of GOD which are the Angels. And then Jesus who is the SON of GOD and NOT GOD! GOD wouldn't be saying FATHER, FATHER WHY HAVE YOU ABANDONED ME??

I disagree with you.

To me God made Man in his image. Jesus is a part of God in as much as you and I and the ocean are all a part of God. The message Jesus brought explained much about the loving God of the entire universe, he told the story in a way understood by the people of his time. Jesus is mans connection to God in that he was able to explain God in a new way.

Jesus was a man ahead of his time, in many ways a man ahead of our time.
 
The unification of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the defining of God as everything.....

In todays vernacular, the it would be "the Parent, Child and Spiritual world."

I am sorry, but how do you KNOW God wouldn't say "father why have you..."?

We humans are tiny, mortal beings with a very limited view of that which we can perceive.

God exists outside of time and space and is capable of anything.

To assign thoughts, feelings and attributes to God based on our limited existence is ridiculous.

You can disagree till the cows come home but you are mistaken. The GOD of Jesus is an invisible GOD. Therefore you cannot make man in HIS image. The god of the OT speaks about making a lesser being or race follow their ways.

All that Adam was immortal before he sinned and that he was the first actual man is a bunch of fairytales.

Isn't GOD omnipresent? LOL Why would HE have to make an alter ego?lol Sorry but the Bible CLEARLY explains that Jesus is NOT GOD. Jesus was SENT by GOD, TAUGHT by GOD, given authority by GOD, to do GOD's will and not His own(which clearly show two different wills), etc... shall I go on?
