Men created god in their image

It is said that God created man in their own image. Was this the case? Or did man in fact create God in man's image. This makes sense, we are scared individuals so we create something to use as a security blanket. The problem though with creating God in man's image, is that God comes with all of man's basic flaws. Greed, jealousy, anger... the list goes on. In scripture itself you can see these sins that God put down for us that God commits. again, I say we created God in our image.

I completely agree and I think you said it very well. Star and Flag for you.

I have often wondered why an omnipotent being would possess such petty traits as jealous. I would like to believe that an entity that is all knowing would be more mature than that.

I agree. That would make it more of a reason to do so. He created us, kind of like a reflection only it would reflect him in a different state. Like if you were to do a 2d computer model of you to gain a certain insight that only 2dimensions can tell you. In a sense I think we create 'our' Gods image, and create and manifest his(their) destiny or even presence through ours.
I agree. The universe(al) creator is different than that of the man-made-computer-like god that we our currently manifesting and discussing. This universal one speaks through nature in a very profound way like the coincidences in the size of the universe, the approximate matter that has to die and that has to be reborn, and the estimation for the probability for life. The number is the same, there are many more, but im just stating. There is a higher conciousness(spelling?) that even the 'God' so called greys or supposed annunaki act through.
I agree....Just my extra 2 cents.

"Greed, jealousy, anger"

Who is to say these things are flaws? If we have them, then we were ment to have them.

Why can greed be good?
Because it is the most important incentive for people to work hard, get a good education, start a business, or invest in a company. This makes people productive and contributing members of society. And in return, people are paid a salary, become more educated, and (hopefully) build wealth so that they can in return live a prosperous, more comfortable, and full life.


Why can jealousy be good?
It its a shield. When you have invested alot of love in your partner there is a constant threat from rivals and the possibility of betrayal by the partner.


Why is anger good?
Many religious people think that anger should not be expressed and that such feelings are sinful. But anger is also a force that can be used for good.

People who respond to stressful situations with short-term anger or indignation have a sense of control and optimism that lacks in those who respond with fear.

Chronic, explosive anger or a hostile outlook on the world is still bad for you, contributing to heart disease and high blood pressure, research shows.


But ALL IN MODERATION
If you cant control these feelings then things can get bad realy quick. If you have these feelings ALL THE TIME then things might get bad. Your supposed to get them sometimes, thats why they exist.

[snipped for space]

Perhaps we were meant to have them in order to overcome them. Call it an exercise for the spirit/soul/self.

Can we still be us, meaning can we still maintain self without such ego driven emotions like anger, greed, and jealousy? I believe so and I think it is a noble goal.

In reference to the OP, however, the jealous and vengeful god is not a good role model, imo, not someone I want to emulate.

Sorry Guys, the Bible is a parable, or contains information in parable form...

So the book has to be understood as a parable...

You won't find the Answers in the bible, but you shall only find verification of "The True Mind" (which is Not of The Human Primate), its changes in the Construction of The Soul, and its history.

Humankind, "humanises" the writings, to each of their own ways of thinking...

So yes, I agree that Man forms an illusion of a god according to the imagination of his own superstitious thinking of fear and mistrust.

This is because Humankind is full of fear, uncertainty, and superstition, so they create an image of their own god, out of the Writings through Ignorance..

God is mistaken to be something it isn't...

God is a “Word” which is the Word GOD... “G O D”.

This "Word" is very Important to understand.

It has to be First Translated, Not to the Greek translation of GOD, but to change the Letters into Greek fonts first, ( Gamma, Omega, Delta) so you can then Translate this into The Original ZIONic Language (which has been Lost to humankind), that “IONic Greek” came from.

This Language can be reconstructed very, very, easily, if you understand all has been Created from the "Opposites" and You understand Geometry!

For example the Ionic Greek letter “Delta” is actually half the Word in "ZIONic", which was a 6 Pointed Star, formed by two Delta’s, one inverted over the other... The Star of David

The Greek letter Gamma, came from two gamma’s that formed a Square.

This Language is Geometric in it Communication and was Not verbal!

The Bible has to be understood in AD 100 understanding and Not in AD 2008 understanding...

The Bible is Not about humankind but is a parable of the Soul which is not of what Mankind thinks the Soul is today.

The knowledge of the Soul, is far, far different than what humankind thinks today.

The human form and the Elusion of your Universe exists in The Soul, and the Soul is Not a thing of Humankind!

Yes I would agree with your thoughts...

Yes there is a Conspiracy here, a very very big one in fact, by Humankind..

This includes Religious Leaders!

if God was described in the Bible as a toad-like creature, I doubt this whole monotheism/Judaeo-Christian thing would have took off like it has.

Just good marketing.

I will have to agree with you totally..

So what is the marketing really for?

Can you give me your valued explanation as I agree with you and I think people should
question more about so called religion don't you?

Is all the propagation of theology just for the sake of $$$$$$$$$ ?

Is humankinds god $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ?

[edit on 6-8-2008 by The Matrix Traveller]

I used the word "marketing" as a metephor.

"selling" a gimmick is important. Power and/or money is the name of the game.

Since I believe all the energy that exists in the multiverse and beyond, is God, and that man has always had a spiritual nature, even pre-man, was shamanistic and sensed the mysteries from within, I don't believe man created God, rather recast Spirit into his own mold.

mystiq


Neither do I believe man created God...

But humankind has created an illusion in himself, of what God is, or should be, according to human imagination based on superstition and fear instead of Love and Truth.

"True knowledge" leads to "Understanding" and "Understanding" leads to "Wisdom" and "Wisdom" leads to "Love" and "Love" leads to Eternal Life.

All of which are of the Spirit and Not Flesh.

As it is written "Man know thy Self"

Then you can come to know God....

By the way I love the Pic you have....

First, we need to understand that we do not represent, very well, what Man was originally created as.
Adam was a lot taller, stronger and smarter than we are.
He was truly god-like and if he was alive today people would worship him as a god.
Just look at someone like Melchizedek and how he was worshiped by Abraham almost as a god, by giving him a tithe.
The King of Salem was actually Shem, one of the sons of Noah.
He was several generations removed from Adam but retained some of the qualities of Adam, including long life.
He lived before anyone around him was born and no one knew of a time that he did not exist.
He lived so long that people thought he would go on living forever.
Be careful not to diminish God by comparing Him to yourself.
God made man to be like Him because He wanted a friend who was like Himself and set him up to be the god of his own world.

Friendly Regards,

The Matrix Traveller

could you please give us the right translation of the word GOD?

then maybe we can discuss.

kacou.

Greetings kacou

I apologise if I did Not make myself clear referring to the
Word "GOD...

But please be very patient with me and read the following
very, very, carefully as my English is Not the Best...

Don’t misunderstand me here as it is Not my intention to
offend you.....

The English Word is spelt GOD, (I know my spelling is Not
the best at times so please forgive me for any inconvenience
to you.).

But it is Important to understand that the English Word GOD
must be used to establish the ZIONic word through the
process I am trying to describe in the following below...

But to get back to ZIONic, You can't translate in the normal
way as you would expect, from English to Greek Languages..

[ The Lord God by the way, has many different names given
for Him, but in this particular Case I was referring to “GOD”,
and Not “The Lord God”.. ]

These are Two different ID’s... “The Lord God” is of GOD...
The Lord is The Only Begotten Son but GOD is His Father,
and The Ancient of Days, is His Grandfather.

The ZIONic language as I said, is Not a verbal Language,
or was it intended to be used, as in languages that you know
of today, but is a Geometric Language and Not used as a
written language that you may expect.

Because we are converting to the ZIONic Language and Not
the Hebrew, or Greek language it is necessary to go back
through the Shape of the Letters and Not to translate into The
Greek word from the English Word GOD.

The True ZIONic Language was Lost at the Time of the
Building of The Tower of Babel...

The Ionic Greek Language, Used half of each of The Font
From ZIONic, so it is The fonts that we look at and Not The
Greek translation of The English Word GOD.

Yes I do realise that the texts have been translated and revised
from The New Testament Greek Gramma introduced by the
Romans and Hebrew texts, but the English language was Not
introduced by chance but rather by design.
This enables us to decode back into Zionic in rather a strange
way...

The Son of man Translated for example from English into
Ionic Greek is Spelt in Greek, Iota Nu Iota Sigma ( a Man
Child ) Iota Sigma is also known as the Beta in the old texts.

This allows you to understand “The Infancy Gospel of
Thomas” in its true Context, where Jesus as a young child of
12 if my memory is correct, ( but please don’t quote me, I can
find this out for you but you may already know anyway ) his
exact age according to this gospel.

Anyway it goes like this.... Jesus said “If you can show me the
True Alpha, then I shall show you the Beta.”

And another Translation Jesus said “First show me the True
Alpha, and I shall show you the Beta.” Beta is Half the Font
in ZIONic which is Iota Sigma (The Font looks like two
Sigma forming the shape of an hour glass and an I
superimposed down the centre.

You can find examples in many ancient inscriptions. But please
don’t ask me to quote in what books now as it is some 30
years ago since I researched this. If you are seriously
interested I will try and find this for you when I get back to
NZ in the next 2 months as I am lecturing in China at present.

In the days of Jesus our Lord three languages were taught...

First Latin, Second Greek which had no lower case letters at
the time but consisted of only Upper case Lettering and
Thirdly Hebrew.

Greek was Important, as The Shape of the Upper-case Letters,
contain a different understanding than the Greek Language
itself.

For Example we have ZION ZIN NIZOmega (to wash the
hands and feet esp, in salt water) The Old name for The Word
of GOD and Not the Word GOD was INZ that was on the
front cover of old Latin, or Roman Bible’s before the English
translation of the Bible was ever thought of....

Not the Words INZ and ZIN...

But note in all these words the combination of the Greek Fonts
the I, N, Z, Omega.

If my memory serves me correctly ZION in Greek means a
Marsh meadow Flower in English....
So you see you can’t translate through the Languages in the
normal fashion, as this is in the wrong subject, that is if we
Refer to the ancient ZIONic Geometric Language.

Remember God Confounded the Language of Man at the Time
of The Tower of Babel...

Friendly Regards,

The Matrix Traveller...

sorry I am having a few little problems with writing to this page but in the above script I wrote there is an error..

Where it is written:- Not the Words INZ and ZIN...

It should say Note, the Words INZ and ZIN...

I think we are God and the bible backs my claim.

Jordan Maxwell said it's let us REcreat man in our image.

What do you think about that?
