A Verifiable God

Quotes from Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise
“Christ promises a spiritual reward”
 
[This spiritual reward I, the author, have most certainly received.  However, I do not believe in Jesus, but I can’t deny the possibility of having received it from Jesus.]
“(The) Law of Moses, (is) related to nothing but the Hebrew state and consequently nothing other than material benefits”
 
[This physical reward Moses promised I, the author, have most certainly received.]

In conclusion:
“we can know no one except from his works.  Anyone therefore who abounds in the fruits of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control…has truly been taught by God and is altogether happy.”
[Jackpot for spiritualists and religionists, but keep on searching you empiricists]

When Hashem Gave His First Breath to the Cosmos

The cosmos became important when Gd's imparted His first breath to it. In the same way, a baby's first breath is considered what makes that baby a soulful being. This implies that Gd in some way grew up, and that is correct. Gd doesn’t know everything, and as time passes He learns more about the creation He authored.  In our lives, Gd gets to know us, such that we may even seem predictable. Gd's breath to the universe is the beginning of the soulful journey of the cosmos. Before the event of breath, a baby is not to be judged. Likewise, before the breath of Hashem the universe was without distinction.

My Collected Thoughts to the Chabad.org Article, “Why Don't You Spell Out G-d's Name?” By Aron Moss

Dramatic Pause, Then Thought, and Least of All Execution
If I ever wrote about Gd when I didn't know Him; that is when I used God. However, because of that I have this wonderful neural pathway where first I think of The Blessed Be He, as God, but then I pause to think about how I will communicate my idea about G_d to an audience. That pause is crucial to paying respect to G:d, such that I give Him His due respect. The actual way G-d appears in my writing has very little to do with the personal respect I attribute to Him, but rather through permutations of God, anticipating them, and trying for slight randomness before writing Gd with variability gives my brain the kick it needs to continue treating God with the utmost respect. Thus, the written form is not as important as the thought behind it. However, for someone reading this the cryptic nature of my post may cause additional thoughts for the reader that are also beneficial, as it should be clear far beyond a reasonable doubt that I'm trying to show the utmost respect.

I have a second opinion about vowels. I believe Hebrew was originally spoken without vowels and thus none are written. There is ample evidence to show that the hominid ancestors of humans could speak on only using consonants. If you need a reference that confirms that hominids at one time could speak only with consonants, then I suggest the book, “The Ancestor’s Tale” by Richard Dawkins.

Goad
I no longer use God or G-d, but Goad. Goad is much more descriptive than G-d. Everyone that conceives of G-d has his or her own idea of what G-d is, and they not only vary from religion to religion, but even among followers of particular religions. Let's be frank. Goad is an Almighty and Universal motivator. Goad motivated the universe into being. Goad motivates us to be ethical and Goad rewards us and punishes us according to the Goading we receive from Goad. We could even consider ourselves to be imitating Goad if we do some of the motivating ourselves.

- Google says -
~search results~
660,000,000 for God
127,000,000 for Craig
92,100,000 for G-d
2,580,000 for chabad

By those rules, I would say, "Even if I post my name, God, and or G-d it ends up in the same place." nych nych nych nych

Judgement
That the author attempted to show respect shows good intent. He has greater righteousness than that person that paid attention to spell check. It is likely that any attempt to show respect to the divine Name that gains popularity is likely to receive recognition by a computer program. However, I would say that since we now know that G-d is in some spell checkers, I would say, “Spell check should be ignored when considering respect to the Name.” Upon analysis of writing, we will simply know the meanings of various forms of respect.

I think you misunderstood. I do not understand how what you write beyond your third sentence refutes me. 
My suggestion is that people worshiped Odin after his death when polytheistic mythologies were generated in Norway. In fact, several people in my line had the same deification lie generated, such as Beowulf, Thor, and Zeus. Likewise, I want no generation of a lie that I am a deity either, as it is possible people are already calling me "Lord Chaos" in internet mythologies, as "chaos Craig" was my nickname years ago (Internet Book of Shadows).

I count Odin and Thor in my direct paternal ancestry and I suggest posthumous deification occurred. Does Paul Bunyan ring a bell? King Wittekind son of Odin, another of my paternal ancestors was a Norse Pagan and forced into Christian conversion after Charlemagne executed possibly 4,000 of his men at Verdun. Anyone who has studied mythologies of other cultures understands that most "gods," were actual people, having an actual day of birth and a day of death. King worship is common to Jewish history as well. It may be an area of confusion in popular thought. Check out the book Antiquities of the Jews (Flavius Josephus) for examples of king worship of David son of Boaz.

Faith is Logical!
Driving Force = Matter / Decay

If God is "Driving Force," then Driving Force is one, while matter and decay describes the cycle of reality.
If a human is "Driving Force," then decay is variable, while matter is the flesh. The driving force of a human is the soul. The goal is for humane Driving Force, such that freewill connects us in harmony; otherwise stated for a human to be of God. Reworded, the goal of freewill is to find the meaning of God, and not only know this meaning, but to act in accordance to the will of God. Thus, decay of human flesh always perverts the meaning of God, the Collective Singular that we live in. To disbelieve in God is to deny Torah, or literally to believe that there is no consequence for action.

I love the book of Deuteronomy.


Perhaps, no other Bible book makes it so clear that peril will fall to those who do not follow the Lord God’s commands.  The meaning of our state of existence is entirely described by Deuteronomy.  God is sovereign.  If we prosper, then He is the reason we prosper.  If we struggle, then He too is the reason why we struggle, yet usually most of us receive some grace, such that even if we do sin, the Lord God may overlook it.

I know for a fact that this very idea makes certain people such as atheists and Christians mad, but I hope that when Gd shows them their punishments they will see in their souls why they struggle.  Call this the evil of Gd if you will, but vengeance belongs to the Lord should one violate the commands he has given to us.

I think what most people are used to is the blessing of grace in their life.  Many people do not fear the Lord and the consequences for failing to keep all of his commands because they are used to a life of grace.  True, the Lord is gracious, but why take advantage of that?  Why do evil in any way if the Lord God sees all?  Also, the Bible talks of the evil of Gd with respect to King Saul.  Why invite the Lord to do evil in your life by failing to fear him?  This is the command to fear Him reverently (Deut. 6:13; 10:20).

The fact is that there are two kinds of believer, and these two kinds act differently based on how they perceive the nature of Gd.  Those that have no fear in one examination were more likely to cheat.  However, those that had fear did not cheat on a test, when given a chance.

There are 613 commandments in the Torah, and it is that if one doesn’t keep or attempt to keep all of them, then he or she is under a curse.  Christians are usually aware of some of these laws, but when it comes to the Ten Commandments, Christians that I know of say that the command to keep the Sabbath is no longer legitimate.  Let me tell you something: If you work out your back seven days a week, it will be sore, and possibly even crippling, and it is this way with so many other commandments that Christians seemingly do away with, declaring them null and void for whatever reason.  I try to separate myself from them.   

Deuteronomy makes it clear, you have to get your heart right with Gd and follow all His commands if you are to prosper.  If we worship the Lord, and I don't mean Jesus, Deuteronomy is 100% clear that there is paradise on earth for the obedient.  Why transgress the law and hope for grace, if you can be obedient and have goodness multiplied.
Look at me!  I am a creditor as I write this, and so is Blogspot!  I am under no obligation to write at all.  My payment is received via the spirit that the Lord grants to me because I am sharing freely what I know.

I have known of the blessing and the curse in my own lifetime.  When I was told by God that He was punishing me, I was elated for that.  I just simply couldn’t love a God that I didn’t fear and was told that I wasn’t required to fear, so I was an atheist.

Which way are you going to go? Most people I know believe that their Old Testament has been nullified, but that is as stupid as a person who believes that he can will God out of existence. It is not until fools stop blaming Satan for everything, and instead focus on doing good deeds and repent that we will see heaven on earth!
