Re: Do you think it odd that your God never acknowledges you? Is that rude?

Thanks for the far reaching reply. Made me think.
I am disappointed that you would not condemn Yahweh for his use of genocide, if you were to read this myth literally.
We may never know but I do not think Jews stoned many and if they did, it would have been for a capital crime. They, as a small tribe, were all into forgiveness.

Further on stoning, I do not think the stoning in scriptures mean stoning in the physical sense. I see a stone as an issue against an idea because I see all that happens in scriptures as happening in our minds. I get this from the terms the bible uses that translate to parts of our brains.
I also get that view from this.
John 6 ; 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

If you have seen the creation painting in the Vatican collection, you might have noted that God sits in the exact shape of our brains right hemisphere. The Egyptian eye has the same shape and represents the same third eye or inner eye idea.
Your view of the bible are interesting but I see the overall message of the bible a bit differently.
Being a Gnostic Christian, that should not surprise you buddy. I am actually working on an O.P. to try in my bumbling way to explain it. Have a preview. I will not repeat those 3 quotes above at the end here but plan to do that when I post it.
Have you leaned what your bible teaches?
The Bible teaches one to start ones spiritual journey from the bottom i.e. from a stage where he must consider himself as a born Sinner and starts his journey upwards from there. One reaches second stage when he realises that he is the son and God is his father. The final realisation is when he realises that he and the Father are One. This is similar to the spiritual journey of a Hindu who starts his journey from Dwait stage , (where he thinks himself and God to be two distinct entities), graduates to Vishishta Adwait (a stage where he thinks himself a fragment/ fraction of Him) and finally reached to the Adwait stage ( a stage when he merges himself with that infinite consciousness.)
Stevan Davies. The savior is not a celestial being brought to earth; the savior is a capacity of the mind, and the saviors journey from above is actually one’s own journey from within.
