  The History of God

  The word God, or god, is one of the words used most often by many to most people.

  THE HISTORY OF GOD.

  The word God, or god, is one of the words used most often by many to most peope. Many of who have been and are willing to die and kill based on their "belief" and/or "blind faith" in what they've told and taught, for many generations.
  
  Although, very few know or have a clear idea and understanding about how the three dominant monotheistic (a concept previously unknown in the world) religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - shaped and altered the conception of God; or, how those religions influenced each other; or, how those religions refashioned "the One God" to suit the social and political needs of their followers*; or how humans have perceived and experienced "God" throughout the times of recorded human history. Huh?*[I think the primary priority - of those elite few who have, and have had, the power and influence to determine what the rules, tenents, and "laws" are for the "followers", who happen to be the mass majority of this planet's population - is and hasbeen to control and dominate what they consider to be the "ignorant, dangerous, and pesky", 90% or more of this, earth's humans, "by any and all means neccessary".

  HOT TIP: Beware of anyone claiming that they represent and speak for Jesus, The Christ, or anyone else who is not currently incarnated here to speak for their self. If what YOU seek YOU do not find in the quiet of YOUR heart and mind, YOU, with a certain amount of inherent "Free will", from the Source, need not fully accept anything from any human, or, uhmm, any of our telepathically and holographically communicating extraterrestrial relatives, especially any  "message(s)" claiming to be from "God", the originating Source of Everything in existance, if YOU do not clearly understand it, and can practically apply it in your life to benefit YOU, and whoever else YOU choose to help.
