Do you believe in the Bible?

[Blackwater_GT]

It says in the Bible that God is the Alpha and the Omega, the begining and the end. There are other versus that are not in the Bible that Quote Jesus refering to another Divine entity. The oppsosite of God. I will assume it is the Feminine Divinity that Jesus talked about.
As far as God creating everything I suppose if you took the Bible verbatim and relied on faith alone you could believe it. Logically speaking though the question I know you would ask next is then who made God? For all I/we know the God of the old testament could be the Sun of our own Solar system. With out it we could not exist. Scientist believe that the center of all solar systems expand out then contract, imploding then exploding. Could be that this is what they had been refering too in ancient scripture.

heh, not bad, but your track is not quite the way i was looking for:

if god created everything, he created evil.

Yes I believe he did. He was cast down to Earth. Now Satan rules the Earth. He can only rule over you if you are not strong enough to resist His temptations. Also God never takes a gift away. It is the Sins we commit and the temptations we succomb to that lose what we were given. This includes your health as well as you money, and happieness.
If you ask Why did Father or loved one get cancer or an illness or diesease. it's becuause Satan has corrupted man over the generations into manifesting these plagues and curses. Thats my take on it anyway.

so what you are aluding to is that god in his perfect ways - who cannot stand evil in his presence, as i understand from some verse to which location i cannot remember - is evil. he had the ability, and used that ability, to create evil. so god, in what you are saying, is evil and good at the same time?

i dont know if that makes sense. its starting not to - to me :lol

This is my therory, God in order to exist has an opposite. Like the yin/yang theory. The light and the darkness. The Positive and the negative forces that pull at us but yet we try to keep in balance.
Evil, hate is only present when Humans allow themselves to be taken over by the evil
So the God who created us has a Mother. I believe is the Feminine Divinity that is not so much neutrel but is in the middle who keeps our existence in balance. I think that I have mentioned that the versus that are not in the Bible. Jesus talks about some other divine being.

Kind of like an atom right? the neucleous of an atom has prtons and neutrons orbiting it.

I'm sure my belief could be shot up and picked over by anyone who dosent belive in God.

Here is a poem that I like and can relate to the authors feelings.
GOD...?

What if...
every planet, sun
and moon
of all the galaxies
in all the universes
were each
but a single cell
of GOD?

What if...
each plane of existance
were linked,
like paper dolls
holding hands
and cut
from one infinite roll
of living paper?

What if...
we were a three-dimensional quilt,
uniquely
pieced together
by power unknown,
but admired and revered
as a greater force
of highest knowledge?

What if...
wear and tear
and fathomless time
creates black holes,
and small rips
and notches,
tiny mars,
in paper and fabric?

What if...
we spent our lives
repairing
the flaws we can see
with love and care,
to bring the whole
of the sum
to completion?

Do we wait, briefly,
on the center-spiral
and keep coming back
to mend
again and again?

Will we all have to "be"
an eternity old
to finally see?

Would we flee GOD, then,
when it is finished?

And with a big bang,
start again?
