I do not understand Opal, help me in my ignorance. If I am to believe that the God of the Jews is God, then he is the only God. If he is not God, then we must conclude that something is not God. Indeed this conclusion was made by Simon the Samaritan, who said that there is another God above the Father and Creator of the universe.
It is against your father that brother Irenaeus preached in truth ''
If therefore the great God showed future things by Daniel, and confirmed them by His Son; and if Christ is the stone which is cut out without hands, who shall destroy temporal kingdoms, and introduce an eternal one, which is the resurrection of the just; as he declares, The God of heaven shall raise up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed,— let those thus confuted come to their senses, who reject the Creator (Demiurgum), and do not agree that the prophets were sent beforehand from the same Father from whom also the Lord came, but who assert that prophecies originated from diverse powers. For those things which have been predicted by the Creator alike through all the prophets has Christ fulfilled in the end, ministering to His Father's will, and completing His dispensations with regard to the human race. Let those persons, therefore, who blaspheme the Creator, either by openly expressed words, such as the disciples of Marcion, or by a perversion of the sense [of Scripture], as those of Valentinus and all the Gnostics falsely so called, be recognised as agents of Satan by all those who worship God; through whose agency Satan now, and not before, has been seen to speak against God, even Him who has prepared eternal fire for every kind of apostasy. For he did not venture to blaspheme his Lord openly of himself; as also in the beginning he led man astray through the instrumentality of the serpent, concealing himself as it were from God. Truly has Justin remarked: That before the Lord's appearance Satan never dared to blaspheme God, inasmuch as he did not yet know his own sentence, because it was contained in parables and allegories; but that after the Lord's appearance, when he had clearly ascertained from the words of Christ and His apostles that eternal fire has been prepared for him as he apostatized from God of his own free-will, and likewise for all who unrepentant continue in the apostasy, he now blasphemes, by means of such men, the Lord who brings judgment [upon him] as being already condemned, and imputes the guilt of his apostasy to his Maker, not to his own voluntary disposition. Just as it is with those who break the laws, when punishment overtakes them: they throw the blame upon those who frame the laws, but not upon themselves. In like manner do those men, filled with a satanic spirit, bring innumerable accusations against our Creator, who has both given to us the spirit of life, and established a law adapted for all; and they will not admit that the judgment of God is just. Wherefore also they set about imagining some other Father who neither cares about nor exercises a providence over our affairs, nay, one who even approves of all sins.'' -

"Shrine"
Everything done has been done before,
Hunger for power and thirst for war.
Spent my days standin' in the pourin' rain,
But I know that I'm on my way.
I'll never lose my faith in Rock 'N' Roll,
Never let hate make a home in my soul.
7000 temples can crashing down,
But I know that I'm on my way.
Who do I believe in? I believe in me
Worship at the shrine of the human body.
Who do I pray to? Think I'll pray to you.
Got faith in the good things
That good people can do...
Must we destroy what we don't understand?
All of these labels man-made by men.
Bad times have past, bad times will come,
But I know that I'm on my way
So who do I believe in? I believe in me
Worship at the shrine of the human body.
Who do I pray to? I'll pray to you.
Got faith in the good things
That good humans can do...
Who do I believe in? I believe in me
Worship at the shrine of the human body.
Who do I pray to? Think I'll pray to you.
Got faith in the good things
That good people can...
Who do I believe in? I believe in me
Worship at the shrine..
Who do I pray to? I'll pray to you.
Got faith in the good things
That good humans can do...
