[QUOTE="dausley"][QUOTE="Ineedtofindyou"][QUOTE="Donkey_Puncher"][QUOTE="Ineedtofindyou"] Did they come before the Judeo-Christian God? The same God that promised the messiah to Abraham as he chose the Jews to be His sacred people?
Why do you think those other gods existed while God deemed Abraham loyal to Him? Those people worshipped false gods and dwelled in their sins.
The Greek Gods were an invention by man, for they resembled human characteristics.

The Greek Gods have just as much proof as does yours? Who are you to tell me that you're right and they were wrong?
Thes gods are from man, for they bear man's likeness. The greek gods said to be located in olympus. We went there and found nothing. These gods do not offer redemption from sins.
Biblical prophecy, a number of documents documenting Jesus Christ's existence and supernatural acts and logic allows me to see the greek gods with no foundation, nor any proof or reasoning for different gods with different earthly elements.
Your God has human traits too, such as love and desire. Plus, I can take a piece of work, say, Homer's Illiad, and use that as a primary source documenting the Greek God's existance. It talks about the Gods, as well as many supernatural acts they may have performed.
God does not desire. You still haven't proven to me that love exists, let alone is a human characteristic. And maybe your interpretation of love doesn't define the relationship between man and God?
Had not the jews existed with the greeks and Hindus? Had they not have their own God with their own beliefs? Have we not debunked their gods from baseless facts about them living in olympus? Had not Christ debunked these fake messiahs as we have debunked fakers like Krishna? Are we not judged for our actions? Is the reasoning that a liar, a thief and a blasphamer should not be rewarded salvation? If such things were granted, would such god/gods be righteous? If not, the Judeo-Christian God is a bigger and better god, for he tampers into human affairs, becomes a man,professes his word and sheds his blood.
Bluntly, what makes the Judeo-Christian God true? Jesus Christ.
If God does not desier, than why does he want us to worship him? Don't tell me "He doesn't, we need him", or whatever, as you've stated many times that if we don't believe, we go to hell.
Love is an emotion, and being such, we cannot see it. However, we CAN see the effects of love, or even feel it ourselves. Since God and Jesus supposedly "loved" us, they have emotions. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
And whatever your arguement is in that second paragraph is, I won't read it. You lost all credibility when you said that Christ "debunked" these "fake" messiahs. Just because you believe in Christ doesn't make Christianity any better than these other religions. You said before that you wanted to spread the Gospel (or something like that). Well, your incredibly narrow-minded and biased arguements are damaging my opinion of Christianity. Are all Christians elitists like this guy?
