"The Lord is a man of war; Yahweh is his name." – Exodus 15.3

Thank you for your response but unfortunately it was not a response to the question that I asked. I asked for a reference to where Yahweh referred to Himself as a man of war. The reference you gave was a song of Moses sung to the Lord

They just needed to come up with an excuse to make it seem like Jesus did not FAIL his prophecy.

And if anyone would know, would it not be a man who had spoken to "God" personally? If his impression of "God" is not accurate, then no one's is.
Even if you won't accept the claims of Moses, "God" himself has been quoted many times as having various malicious trains of thought in regard to his children. Contextually, there's plenty of scripture to support a war-like "God" - especially considering the judge engineered the events that brought the criminal cringing to his doorstep.
As far as God being quoted as malicious in regard to His children, I believe it is quite the contrary. God protected His children at the expense of their enemies. Not everyone was God's children. The Jews were. If one does not believe that was the case is irrelevant because we are discussing this history within the context of these particular scripture verses. Besides totally annihilating the enemy, God at times would chastise His people- and it was in these cases that His mercy was demonstrated.
I've got a good question for all you self proclaimed Bible scholars.. How was it that it took Moses and his mob 40 years to make a 1 week trip by foot to the Holyland? Did they read their map wrong or something?

So if Satan cannot drive out Satan (demons) so how can the anti-Christ trick people by performing such miracles?
Another thing that does not make sense is that Jesus Christ is supposed to be the only begotten son of the most high god (Yahweh), how is it that the son of the most high god can FAIL at getting people to create peace (love thy neighbor as thyself, etc.) but when Satan does it to create a united world everyone listens?
If Jesus is "life" how is it that him and his father Yahweh can be so destructive and why is it that Yahweh calls himself a "man of war" if he is LIFE he should be CREATING not DESTROYING.
It is The Devil's job to destroy which is why The Devil means "The Destroyer" , "The Destroyer" is supposed to be evil as there is supposed to be eternal life, but such gods as Yahweh and Jesus destroys claiming to be Gods of Life!?
If I had a sword for a tongue (Revelation 1:16), eyes like blazing fire (Revelation 1:14), told you that there would be ETERNAL WORSHIP in heaven (Revelation 4:1-11 ), told you that I hold the keys to the doors of hell (Revelation 1:18), and told you that I will EAT you and spit you out of my mouth if you are not to my liking (Revelation 3:16). Why would you believe me to be the true loving god and follow me anyway!? Is it FEAR / COWARDICE?

God gives you free will to act the way you like,you can only inherit eternal life if you live by the principle of love.
You owe your allegiance to an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient being who gave you the gift of free will. Can you prove to us that you actually have free will, and that your subconscious is not actually the mind and will of your god? Can you prove to us that you are not a puppet?
For all you know, free will is a myth and the only reason to continue believing in it is to maintain some semblance of sanity. After all, no one has managed to explain to me the fine line dividing love and tyranny. Is your god a loving father, or an oppressive tyrant? How is your god different from Hitler?
Any quality answer is welcome. Have at it, ATS'ers.

Are you talking about this verse?
Matthew 16:28
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Jesus was talking about his resurrection.
John 18:36
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
(Luke 17:20-21 KJV)

The "god" in the bible is an Annuna. His original name was En.lil. Half brother to E.a/Enki (the serpent in the garden). He was the patron El of the Israelites. As such he despised other tribes and peoples. Canaan was governed by En.ki . Yahweh/En.lil got the Semitic tribes, En.ki got the African tribes. Thats why Ningishzidda/Thoth was given dominion over the African realms. He is a son of En.ki.edit on 28-2-2013 by Oannes because: (no reason given)

Yes, I mention this in this thread [here]. Thoth (Hermes) is another cool entity, I heard he is the one that thought hermetics.

These are the same people who saw the miracles God had performed in Egypt, with the plagues, the fire to guide them at night, the splitting of the red sea, etc. Yet even though they saw all this, they still turned from God and worshiped other idols.

The Antichrist is a person or entity who will come proclaiming to be the Messiah. It has nothing to do with summoning demons, getting rid of them or anything else. It has more to do with you being deceived and following him. As for the Jesus/Yahweh false gods part, If you are Islamic then this is common knowledge.. But they also touch upon the subject of the Antichrist or the false Messiah.
