As I said... I don't blame God, I blame The Books and their use through history.Another silly thread from someone who doesn't believe in a God that he's obsessed talking about.
Nobody says that God is "fully contained" in the Bible. He simply reveals what His creation NEEDS to know about Him. We don't have to know everything about Him to believe in Him; trust in Him; communicate with Him; and know Him.
Where do I say that I don't believe God is possible?
I'm simply stating that limiting one's concept of God to The God of Abraham, As defined in The Torah, The New Testament and The Qur'an seems short-sighted, and, considering the role played by those three ancient Arab tales in Monkey History, I think God would agree with me.
And why can't that God be compatible with the same God behind all these other things, too?
Why is there assumed to be some contradiction there?

Just because SOME people get closeminded about this
doesn't mean you have to see it that way. Most people I know who understand the meaning don't have this issue you are debating and negating.
It is only an issue for people who don't get the universality of God. So it shouldn't be an issue for you unless you have a gripe with certain people? over how THEY teach the Bible? So don't teach it that way, and you can join with the rest of the people who don't teach it limited either!
I've decided that I don't have a problem with God per se, but I find the continued use of the ancient stories to justify selfish politics and various 'isms' around the globe to be a deterrent to peace. This is my motivation to write tonight.
But God nor the vast majority of believers in God are to blame for the actions of a few unscrupulous men (and/or women).
God won't be contained by mere Monkeys, even when we try using words to do it.
Humans are not monkeys, we just share a common ancestor with monkeys.
The Bible is inspired by God. That's why many people claim the Bible is God's Word. The Bible is true.
All other "books" teaching differently from the Bible are demon inspired. Koran, Book of Mormon, etc. all demonic.
