Who is your God??

Exo 32:4 He took the earrings, melted them, poured the gold into a mold, and made a gold bull-calf. "The people said, Israel, this is our god, who led us out of Egypt."

This scripture made me realize how we easily follow a path away from God and stamp it with a god imprint. The people of Israel made themselves a god with gold and somehow connected it to their religion. When Moses left to be with God, they convinced themselves that this new god was the god that led them out of Egypt. They still needed to worship, but the new god was just more practical than their God that cared for them and loved them.

Exo 32:7 The Lord said to Moses, " Hurry and go back down, because your people, whom you led out of Egypt, have sinned and rejected me.

Exo 32: 8: "They have already left the way that I commanded them to follow; they have made a bull-calf out of melted gold and have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. They are saying that this is their god, who led them out of Egypt."

I believe that many of us are busy with a gold bull-calf and calling it god. Religion or non religion is becoming the modern way of thinking. There is a search worldwide for a type of religion. The more people search, the more they find other ways to worship. As long as the "religion" do not have the word Jesus in. When you take Jesus out it is called religiously tolerant and most constitutions all over the world where democracy rules, will have this in.

It is strange that when you let people choose their god, there is almost always a attack on Jesus Christ and God. Countries with stricter religious rule would not dare to say something about their religion. Neither would the world. We all read the newspaper on the cartoon on Mohamed. Their were such a uproar all over the world about it. Yet daily Christianity is under attack and the world is quiet.

2Pet 3:3-5 " Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

And saying , Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water"

Are the world seeking for a god or running from God.
