Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The deep state VS God. Here is a topic many will balk at. Knowing how evil the deep state/cabal is, I put forward that thousands of years ago the deep state created a deity for humans. Now, since many have varying thoughts on religion, the deep state created different forms of religion for humans to follow. Looking at the Bible there is not a complete manuscript of it ever found. Many passages were altered over time as different scribes put their own interpretation into the translation. Constantine decided at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD what books were to be included in the “Bible”. Now I know I am giving a very opposite opinion of the majority of anons here, but we must remember, this is a war of good versus evil that has being going on for centuries with it now coming to a culmination. Many will say the deep state is against the bible, but I feel this is controlled opposition. Just my two cents.
Especially for the Old Testament, there are variations of this view promoted by guys like Clif High, Mauro Biglino, and Zechariah Sitchin. The deity you mention could also in fact be aliens / Annunaki / Elohim. If you are avoiding Christianity, this seems like a plausible stance to take, and there are possible hybrid views as well.
For a Christian perspective, see work by Michael Heiser, https://drmsh.com/
To me the central question is the person of Jesus Christ. Were His self-claims about being the Son of God true? There is incredibly strong evidence for His resurrection, e.g. see Gary Habermas https://www.garyhabermas.com/ The entire Christian religion rides on this, and once you settle this, topics like the canon of Scripture fall into place easier. e.g. The four Gospels are eyewitness accounts. Some try and claim these and other New Testament books were written hundreds of years later, but there is strong evidence to the contrary.
Amen.
Who is Jesus Christ.
When you can answer this question it answers all other things in time and things begin to come to light.
The whole all religions are right stance, that new age believers follow. There is some truth in it. In that truth belongs to Jesus and a religion can have an element of truth and miss out on the fullness of Christ.
You just only ground your belief when you truly accept that still small voice talking to you is Jesus the son of God.
A deep intimate relationship with him is the greatest thing you can ever seek
