The word "God" is subjective. "God" to some people is not necessarily the same "God" of all people.
For example, the "God" of Hinduism is not the same "God" of Buddhism.
Because religions are inventions from the imaginations of men, the "Gods" of all religions are also inventions from the imaginations of men.
"Gods" of religions are all different, however, and there is not one "God" that is the "God" of all "Gods" since all of them are gods of imagination.
If we ask people if they believe in God and they say yes, perhaps we should ask, "Which one?", or, "What is his name?", or "Tell me about him."
To believe in God of the Bible, people must believe in the Bible. But if people do not believe in the Bible, neither will they believe in God of the Bible. So then, which "God" do they believe outside of the Bible?
Moreover, if people in Christian churches or Christian religions do not believe in the Bible, neither will they believe in God of the Bible. So then, which "God" do they believe? At the same time, why should they believe in Christ when Christ is written in the same Bible that they have chosen to reject?
If the Bible is divided in Christianity, is God also divided? And what about Christ? Do we divide Him with a part for Protestants, with a part for Catholics, and with a part for Mormons?
Pontius Pilate said, "What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?" (Matthew 27: 22)
The question we should ask at this time is: Which Jesus do people want Him to be? Which Jesus do people want to believe? Should Jesus be the same Jesus for Protestants, Catholics, and Mormons?
Keep in mind: without the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the New Testament of the Bible would have never been written. What are we going to do about that? Do we rip the New Testament out of the Bible? If we disregard the New Testament, because it is in the Bible, are we saying that the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus never happened?
Perhaps we should ask, is it possible, just possible, that people have their faith in Protestantism, Catholicism, and Mormonism instead of having their faith in Christ? If this is true, then what do they need the Bible for? If they remove the Bible, can they still have Protestantism, Catholicism, and Mormonism because their faith is not in Christ? Of course. If they do not believe the Bible now, why do they need it?
In two thousand years, have people successfully converted Christ to religions? Instead of people believing in Christ by simple faith, have people deceived people to believe they must first believe in a religion to get to God? If so, then they must answer the same question of Pontius Pilate: What will they do with Jesus, which is called Christ?
The Bible is very clear:
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus." (1st Timothy 2: 5)
Do you believe that?
