Who was God?

Well, I think I've shown you irrefutable evidence that the God of the Old Testament is not the Holy Trinity,   So, who were the LORD God of the Old Testament?

Genesis 1:26; And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

When you look into a mirror you see the product of DNA, your physical IMAGE.  DNA is a language that describes the physical characteristics of the body you are animating.

Genesis 1:26 is specific in telling us that the human race is the product of a plural entity where each of those entities possess their OWN physical body or IMAGE.

The Orthodox interpretation of the bible holds that “God” is in reference to the Holy Trinity.  If the Orthodox interpretation of the bible is true then all three members of the Trinity MUST be animates of physical bodies as Genesis 1:26 reflects.

The bible repeats the plural reference:

Genesis 3:22: And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever. 

And directly reflects the “LORD” as having a physical body:

Genesis 6:3: “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.“

If the orthodox interpretation of the bible is correct in saying the LORD God is Christ’s Father, why is it that He established a system of Bondage that includes Dependence and Knowledge Deprivation; then later placed His creation within it?   It seems to me that Christ’s Father would be more loving than that!

Furthermore, why is there a conflict between the bible and the Orthodox interpretation with regard to the Holy Trinity and the plural reference in Genesis 1:26?

Ether 3:14-16;"Behold, I am Jesus Christ.  I am the Father and the Son.  In me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters.  And never have I showed myself unto man whom I have created, for never has man believed in me as thou hast.  Seest thou that ye are created after mine own image?  Yea, even all men were created in the beginning after mine own image.  Now Behold, this body, which ye now behold, is the body of my spirit; and man have I created after the body of my spirit; and even as I appear unto thee to be in the spirit will I appear unto my people in the flesh." 

The above scripture from the Book of Mormon reflects that when the human race was created, the creators used methods Christ already founded:

I Corinthians 8:6; "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."

The bible clearly reflects that the God of the Old Testament is not the Holy Trinity.  In other words, Christ didn't create the human race, because if He did, according to the Old Testament, He'd be a slave driver.

Selective Amnesia

In order for a theory to be fact it must make sense of the evidence presented.  Both Evolution and the Orthodox version of Creationism have serious flaws both supporting camps ignore.   Some evidences are ignored by both camps because they do not fit in with their narrow minded perceptions and that is their down fall.

If a teacher or preacher has selective amnesia it makes for a very dangerous situation.  The education their students receive will have the likeness of Swiss cheese, full of holes, thus leaving them ill equipped to act.   Someone who has Selective Amnesia can never derive at truth because they refuse to accept the truth which contradicts their beliefs.

Pastors who conform to the orthodox interpretation of the bible do the will of Satan furthering the corruption of minds teaching the lies that were bestowed upon the Masses long ago.

It is true that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.  But in the case of earth, history books have been tainted and people have been misled.  Therefore, it is absolutely vital that you read books and extrapolate knowledge testing the validity of the orthodox version against Logic, Common Sense and Circumstantial Evidence.  In doing so, wrongs will be righted and lies will be trued and those responsible for the deception will be exposed.

Unless one reads, how does one know if one is being deceived or not?    It is up to each of us to seek the truth.  Learning is an individual responsibility.

I saved the above graphic from another web site a few years ago because I knew it to be true.   The only thing I would like to change about it is instead of it saying, "You Christians ..."; have it say, "You Orthodox Christians....".   There is a big difference between the two parties.

Perspective

The LORD God in Genesis was comprised of two factions; one good, one evil.   Together they created the Adam as a slave then later conflicted over their creation’s final destiny.   Evil took on the image of God and fooled the world and has been controlling it ever since through Causality.
