My God, Your God?

Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he? The New Testament asserts that God brings consequences to those who worship other gods. Adoring God, praying to him, offering him the worship that belongs to him, fulfilling the promises and vows made to him are acts of the virtue of religion which fall under obedience to the first commandment. There will be no other God…nor was there from eternity any other existing …but He who made and disposed all this universe. Nor do we think that there is one God for us [Christians], another for you [Jews], but that He alone is God who led your fathers out from Egypt with a strong hand and a high arm.

Nor have we trusted in any other for there is no other , but in Him in whom you also have trusted, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. The first commandment embraces faith, hope, and charity.

It follows that we must necessarily accept his words and have complete faith in him and acknowledge his authority. He is almighty, merciful, and infinitely beneficent. Who could not place all hope in him? Who could not love him when contemplating the treasures of goodness and love he has poured out on us? Hence the formula God employs in the Scripture at the beginning and end of his commandments: Therefore, if we are contented with one God, let us call to mind what was formerly observed, that all fictitious gods are to be driven far away, and that the worship which he claims for himself is not to be mutilated.

Not a particle of his glory is to be withheld: Martin Luther describes the first commandment as prohibiting both the literal honoring of other gods as well as trusting in idols of the heart: Thus, for example, the heathen who put their trust in power and dominion elevated Jupiter as the supreme god; the others, who were bent upon riches, happiness, or pleasure, and a life of ease, Hercules, Mercury, Venus or others; women with child, Diana or Lucina, and so on; thus every one made that his god to which his heart was inclined, so that even in the mind of the heathen to have a god means to trust and believe.

But their error is this that their trust is false and wrong for it is not placed in the only God, besides whom there is truly no God in heaven or upon earth. Therefore the heathen really make their self-invented notions and dreams of God an idol, and put their trust in that which is altogether nothing. Thus it is with all idolatry; for it consists not merely in erecting an image and worshiping it, but rather in the heart, which stands gaping at something else, and seeks help and consolation from creatures, saints, or devils, and neither cares for God, nor looks to Him for so much good as to believe that He is willing to help, neither believes that whatever good it experiences comes from God.

Henry explains the preface and the first commandment from a covenant viewpoint: God delivered Israel from Egypt, and they belong to him by mutual agreement, so they are bound to obey his covenant stipulations. The preface of the Law-maker: God asserts his own authority to enact this law in general: He proposes himself as the sole object of that religious worship which is enjoined in the first four of the commandments. They are here bound to obedience by a threefold cord, which, one would think, could not easily be broken. Because God is the Lord—Jehovah, self-existent, independent, eternal, and the fountain of all being and power; therefore he has an incontestable right to command us.

He that gives being may give law; and therefore he is able to bear us out in our obedience, to reward it, and to punish our disobedience. He was their God, a God in covenant with them, their God by their own consent; and, if they would not keep his commandments, who would? He had laid himself under obligations to them by promise, and therefore might justly lay his obligations on them by precept.

Though that covenant of peculiarity is now no more, yet there is another, by virtue of which all that are baptized are taken into relation to him as their God, and are therefore unjust, unfaithful, and very ungrateful, if they obey him not. They themselves had been eye-witnesses of the great things God had done in order to their deliverance, and could not but have observed that every circumstance of it heightened their obligation.

Herein, God asserts his own authority to enact this law; and proposeth himself as the sole object of that religious worship which is enjoined in the four first commandments. They are here bound to obedience. The Boston Globe Jan 11, My God can beat up your God!

And to make it all worse, the fanatic religionists—especially the Christian and Islamic looneys—have the two billion children of our world firmly in their sights. Here is a video depicting their efforts to poison the children with toxic memes to indoctrinate them with insane, deadly religious delusions. What are we doing to protect them against such pernicious nonsense?

Chapter 20

If you watch the video, you will quickly see that it's not enough to sit back, watch, and bemoan their actions. Help us inoculate the children! And yes, only an equally powerful, but sane, religious ideology can fully protect human animals from having their psyches taken over by insane memes, while simultaneously enabling us to stand together, united in effective opposition to the terrible danger of organized delusions.

Here we explain why, despite the dangers of religion, the world needs Yoism. As The World's First Open Source Religion , the Way of Yo teaches us to take the perceptions and reactions of other divine humans as indications of our progress or lack thereof toward our goal of creating the clearest possible expression of the Truth, as revealed by Yo Reality.
