Ancient cultures pre-date the Bible. The Bible is a farce.

Verbal tradition predates any writings.

Ancient story telling predates ancient writing. It too is a fact.

Jesus prayed to God. Many times.

This is proof they are not the same.

No it isn't.

Yes, the Bible is made up.

And yet in your first post here at rhp you claim to have always been a Christian.

I have learned a few things.

The Bible is made up from older stories.

Sad, but true.

Get ready, this is a dilemma for many and you are likely to get a backlash. I believe 3 in 1, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, three different (offices if you will) all one.

Jesus is the Word, Jesus is God

John 1:1 New King James Version (NKJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Amen.
It is rather mysterious. And I say that without apology.

It is mysterious and we should enjoy God and get use to Him being mysterious.

When did you learn these things?

Acts 7:55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Bump for Suzi.

What do you think? Is your Jesus in existence and in agreement with God the Father in the OT?

But Stephen, full of God, looked up to heaven
and saw the glory of God,
and God standing at the right hand of God.
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and God
standing at the right hand of God.”

Yup,.. makes perfect sense.
