WHAT DO PEOPLE HEAR WHEN YOU SAY: God Bless you.
JUDAISM: God of the Torah
CHRISTIANITY: God of the Bible
ISLAM: Allah
HINDUISM: Out of thousands of gods could be anyone of them
BUDDHISM: Buddha
SIKHISM: Waheguru
ANIMISM: person ~place ~ or thing Just about everything.
There are many gods ICorianthians 8:5
(For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, as there be gods many, and lords many,)
Here is my point. When you say GOD BLESS YOU sadly it doesn't say much. When someone tells you the same, is it dangerous to accept whatever god they are talking about!
What to do?
Replace the word god with the name of your god. Jesus The Christ Bless YOU! Or Jesus Bless YOU.
I had a doctor once ask me can I pray for you. I said, what is the name of your god? I don't except GENERIC gods.
I once had a man I worked with coming to me seeing that I was to him and many others Jewish and now following Jesus The Messiah. He said to me, "I am a Christian too." It was a week later that he was telling someone else he was Sikhism. I went up to him and said you told me, you were a Christian? He told me he had a god that includes ALL GODS. At that point, I knew I had met the GENERIC god that all who have that god have given it a different name. OUR LORD and OUR GOD has a name that is above all names, why not USE IT!
