so when these lost tribes are worshiping a " god " could this possibly be the same god?

because im sure there is no way some of the people KNOW the name of Jesus christ


btw im not arguing against the bible in anyway, im just very curious on this point

again it depends on viewpoint, and the meaning you take from the words of the bible. It is quite possible to litterally read the words and in this sense they are worshipping false deities, however with a more rounded approach and some inward thinking you can take the words to have another meaning.

just sounds like a horrible life not truly having a relationship with Jesus

makes me truly think and have compassion for the lost....

I think this right here is exactly it, and why people share the word, and go on missionaries in the first place. People ask, "why don't you just keep religion to yourself?!", but this here is exactly the answer. It is because of love and compassion that we cannot remain silent.

I fully respect and honor those who have faith and vow their love to religion. I have no fully set view on my religion. What I mean by that is I do not consider myself to be a devout Christian, Catholic, Lutheran, etc. I have my own beliefs, and I humbly keep them to myself in order to keep from arguments with my fellow peers.

I believe there IS a higher power, it is just the order of events and categorization of stories in which I change around.

I do have interests in reading about the stories and such. The reason I asked my question was to be general and get your opinion. I have several friends who have different outlooks on how the Bible is interpreted. My girlfriend's family is very religious, and they have no understanding on why I do not wish to go to their church.

God is not relative.

For example, people seem to think they can make up their own gods tailored to their liking in these times.

But they won't accept the real one.

i cant remembe rthat specific verse but it something like:

" people will be running to and fro, there will be an increase in knowledge and ideology" in the end times

im seeing more and more of this too now days, more gods more theorys etc etc

You might want to question how they experience spiritual forces. Because the natives and the tribes etc. they all "know" some spirit is there. Whether it's God or demonic who knows.

No it says god will only test them on what they KNOW
