orangeslice13 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 History lesson The term god pronounced "gawd" is a pagan term to represent all forms of supposed deities. So to avoid confusion as to who is being referenced the term gawd is often used in situations like these. Had I been referring to the Holy One of Isreal the term G-d is my usual choice. I don't speak His name and would never presume to compare an above average football coach to Him. Now I'm sure your coach would make a superb Horus.

I needed more mindless trivia to clutter my brain. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9zo Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Actually You opened conversation slinging insults. Edit: ..................... Look up the definition of clueless and ask yourself if it applies to you and your knowledge of Coach Ross? It's not an insult if it's true.

(I'm going to stop now before I get another thread terminated ) It wasn't terminated, I just moved it to the General discussion board. People tend to get hot when they debate religion but most people just go along with what they were taught growing up. My beliefs have changed a ton from what i was taught growing up. But I'm still EXTREMELY limited as far as understanding the big scheme of things. I doubt I'm by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enjoy discussion of G-d though. I have strong beliefs but am willing to learn and grow from others thoughts and theories. I put my email up in the other thread in case you wish to discuss it in private. No hard feelings if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujo Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm in that huddle with you, big guy! We'll probably still be in that huddle when time expires. Lots of people have answers for everything or they just say its not for us to understand. I actually try to use reason and common sense but the answers are not in the book. King James version is just exactly that,his version. Lot of books left out and many things altered from the earlier versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some strong beliefs but they are far from the Baptist and Christian beliefs I was taught growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
