You serve a tyrant. And if you don't obey, you burn forever.
What's the saying about cults using fear to herd the sheep?
On top of that, he's a major hypocrite. Commands you to forgive those that trespass against you and to love your enemies but he torments, burns and tortures merely due to a lack of belief. It's also a great illustration that your self proclaimed "all knowing" deity doesn't understand how belief works... It's not the product of desire alone therefore luck is involved with whether people make it or not.
Your deity isn't worthy of my endorsement. I've known better criminals.
It's tyranny. Pure and simple. I exist, therefore I owe and if I don't play the game by the rules he also created, I suffer.
You believe your deity is good, I don't. Many of us have better standards for things we'd potentially worship... But I personally, believe anything that wants/needs to be worshipped has serious ego issue.
You should contact some Christian friends and setup an intervention.
Sorry you believe that.
The guys only point is “we are commanded to forgive others but He doesn’t have to!” Without even addressing how He is Lord and knows everything about anyone’s intentions, while we know absolutely nothing outside of our own sinful projection.
It’s pretty dumb and lazy.
It all comes down to an ego problem. Some people cant accept that they themselves are meant to be subordinate to a higher Being
I disagree, it’s really not easy. My heart desperately wants to sin and seems to rationalize it in any way it can. Only by being called by the Father was I ever able to overcome myself and ask for forgiveness. It felt like I had to be forced in a way. I don’t think anyone chooses Him on their own, and Scripture affirms this. No man comes to the Father unless he is called by Him.
You speak like you've never read it.
See how easy that was? I made a claim without supporting it too! This is fun, let's do it again! You're fat!
Just to the burning part.
I believe it was Dante who first said that and it went from there to where we are today.
I believe a better account that’s described in the Bible is an absence or separation from God.
Which is impossible if he's omnipresent, no?
If a God is capable of being omnipresent than I imagine that God is capable of manifesting that in anyway they see fit, no?
There is no separation from an entity that's simultaneously everywhere. It's a fallacy and one you cannot fix with a "separation from God" type of eternal judgement.
There is no separation from something that's everywhere. You want it both ways and you can't have it that way.
Try ignoring the Old Testament and focusing on the New.
Don't mix the messages.
Read it for a bit and find out if you like Jesus Christ.
I literally see absolutely no logical hypocrisy in anything you’ve presented.
Are you sure you’ve actually thought this through as much as you think you have?
Then get your eyes checked.
I’m having no problem reading the words you wrote or understanding the point you’re trying to make with them.
LOL that's so perfect.
