Trimming The Religion

Genesis 17-24

There are two figures, they are completely different, both are right, which one to follow?

Lord God and God, are the two terms used to describe the ruler in the Genesis. These two names are for two different figures, Lord God refers to Jehovah and God to Jaweh. Jehovah is more radical and strict, while Jaweh is a calmed God. For example, in Genesis 6:7, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man and beast” were words used by Jehovah, that threatened the innocent and the sinners. I believe that two figures were used to represent one, because there had two be a dark side in God, just as every human in earth. Also, it was fundamental because God is an explanation for events, and there has to be a reason for the bad and good.

However, I wonder wether having to figures have any impact in the religion itself. First of all, if there are two powers that command the religion, why aren’t we a polytheistic religion? Also, during the forth century the church divided into two and now the population is growing rapidly, and one God won’t be enough for a large percentage. Would having two Gods be a space for the church to open again? I believe that the Bible is a book that will no longer support additions, but what the Bible explains to us are no longer explanations we need, because we have younger obstacles. Will dividing the church once again between the believers of Jehovah and the believers of Jaweh, will help update the religion? With this will the number of believers increase?
