@odinata hey! the most ridiculous fairy tale i ever heard is evolution specially "natural selection" i still see monkeys around and don`t seem to evolve, Darwin sad one thing, dawkins twiked it a bit, tomorrow will be something else, and maybe what if the probability of nobody Knows for certainty when the universe was formed and most likely who knows if we will ever know.... blabla they pushed this theory on my while on high school and never fit in my reason
@odinata no one is whinning man! not even a dead imperfect man like (Darwin) got enough time to provide enough validity to his arguments and theory, your same evolution theory thru studies asserts that random mutations followed by natural selection results in complicated and harmful outcome even evolutionist Pierre paul grass noted that no matter how numerous they may be mutations do not produce any kind of evolution (in substance)God created everything and came in the person of Jesuschrist!
If not, this KJ guy isn’t doing himself or his faith any favours...
All I took from this interview is that this individual, wanted to believe in something, read the bible, and came to accept a mass-packaged belief system.
Everyone is unique, faith isn’t something to be digested in a packaged form, it should be unique and special to each individual.
But hey that’s just me. Enjoy playing the sheep waiting for the shepherd.
@lxg1 Why choose earth over God? Faith is unique to each individual, the gifts that come from God prove that. Have you ever even given Jesus a chance, at all?
No, I'm not a bigot I just find that the existing belief systems encourage division.
But essentially they all teach the same basic rules (the fundamentals of common law; dont steal, dont kill, and try to be a good person in accordance with your time).
So I just try to follow those rules, I believe in a higher power, but believe that if it did exist us wee humans would be far too ill-equipped to even conceive of its true form.
Actually in answer to your question, yes, I come from a Christian family, however my father is more agnostic and my mother converted (if you can convert to it) to Buddhism about 15 years ago.
I spent a large portion of my younger years pursuing a faith in Christ, but when I begun studying history and politics, my perspective on scripture changed.
@lxg1 Okay, well quite honestly any history in any way weather it be biblical or worldly, could be false. It takes, for me, actually feeling Jesus love for me to know that the biblical sense is true. Changing my perspective just on that and the lies of politics could never be enough for me to give up on Christ.
@lxg1 Okay since you come from a Christian family, then you know what Jesus feels like, correct? Im not meaning as in touching, im meaning as in any healing you have ever received from him, or blessings. I have to ask has your mother ever received any of that since converting?

I would assume that cells can form if they could create a single cell in the lab.
Until then, it sounds ridiculous to me. Genetic similarities are not enough. Fossil sequences of only 10-20 fossils is not enough. I can't watch an animal build a new arm and the fossil record says creatures that exist today look the same as they did 100-140 million years ago. Retroviruses are interesting and I'll look into that but I need something powerful to believe something so ridiculous.
"A designer who deliberately designed viruses and mosquitoes?"
First off, all these questions are judging the designer's character or competence which has nothing to do with whether he exists or not. Simply put, there is too much information that has to be created so I believe creation happened by design.
Well I actually don't believe in evolution so I guess it would be deceptive for a designer to do that. Similarities in genetics doesn't really prove evolution.
I don't understand. So human beings have skulls similar to that of apes in older time periods? But these type of apes disappeared and yet our skills were found much later?
I don't see how that proves anything though. If a person is considering both options, life by design or life by chance, then I don't think they would have a problem with the designer re-using his designs in different creatures. Similarities in bone structure and genetics aren't really proof in this case.

I guess it just seems more logical to me to believe that there is a designer because I do not believe you can just create machines by chance. I've never seen it happen and it sounds ridiculous. I'm sure people who are considering both ideas will probably think both the idea of life by design and life by chance sound ridiculous. I'd be interested in any powerful proofs though. Something like new body parts being developed or new creatures (more than just speciation).
That makes sense and I think I get what you are saying but I believe it's impossible for it to happen by chance. The "big bang" just happened to produce laws that guided the expansion of matter which spread about and created galaxies and orbits. Then somehow, DNA, the most advanced info storage system we know of somehow gets produced by random or "naturalistic" forces that are capable of creating biological machines. Even if evolution is true, I would still believe in a designer.
We can't create a single cell from scratch with all our intelligence and technology so how is it supposed to happen by chance? Then that cell has to evolve into a human being without intelligence. That simply sounds ridiculous and incredibly illogical. I don't really see what evidence there is for evolution. You can't watch macroevolution happen. They can't create life. The fossil evidence is lacking. Where is the evidence?
A belief in God usually goes hand in hand with the belief that He is eternal. If God was created then we would not be calling Him God. The being who created Him would be called God. People who believe in God usually believe in a form of option A where God has always been there and He simply has always existed. That explains where intelligence and the creation came from.
@TeesByTruthSurge Paul and elijah did not do it the lord did it through them. A man is not raised from the dead without the Lord unless it is witchcraft and no matter there was no man in history has been able to prophesize like jesus christ take the sins of all man on his shoulders raise on the third day and give life to all man
@TeesByTruthSurge why do you try to define God's capabilities with your limitations and intelligence? do you people think you know more than God? do you think just because you cannot do one thing it is impossible for God to do it. It is impossible for you to create someone out of nothing but for My God nothing is impossible! for people thought it was impossible for a man to be raised from the dead.... But Jesus Christ did what they thought as "Impossible"
@TeesByTruthSurge you are answering with your own opinion just as i was answering with my own opinion. Since you are putting my faith through such a trial i kinda of have to leave this nice zone im in and lower myself to your level of attacking me personally. I just want you to get this through your finite brain, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMETHING TO COME OUT OF NOTHING! Get that through your head! And now before you claim that we believe the same the thing,we dont. Our God has always been here, no1

The Bible is the best history book we have. So much has been proven via Archeology that ppl have laughed & said couldn't B true Love it when they find these things & those ppl R wrong & the Bible is correct. It also tells us a lot about the future. There R many parts of the Bible we do not understand yet b/c God isn't ready 4 us 2 understand it. God even states parts of the Bible R sealed. So many guess at what it means. Even if I didn't believe N God, I would have 2 say the Bible is astonishing
@TiggerKitty49 "The Bible is the best history book we have. "
This shows you haven't read anything about the Bible. It is a terrible example of historical writing as most of the things never happened. SOME of the places and people mentioned really did exist. NONE of the miracles ever happened and MANY of the claims are flat out contradicted by.... wait for it.... ARCHEOLOGY! The Bible is batting .005. Please, read up on these issues. msg me if you want some tips about finding it.
@TruthSurge Because common man is far too ignorant to actually go and dig in the... wait for it... RIGHT PLACES the Arabian peninsula is not where Mt. Sinai but far east from there. Mountain of Fire: The Search for the True Mount Sinai Is a documentary That has undeniable proof of it
@DarcsenOfLegend according to the Bible, he DID change. His first covenant with Abraham wasn't sufficient so he made a NEW covenant (Jesus). ? READ YOUR BIBLE! I'm telling you, you will come to realize you don't have a personal relationship with any god, son of a god or anything like that. Ok. good luck.
@TruthSurge Actually, those were two completely different covenants, not one covenant overruling another, like a supreme court case or something. God made a covenant with Abraham essentially saying that his descendants would become a great nation. The new covenant is his promise to us that through Jesus we can be saved. I don't understand how that means that God changed.
@triplealliance Then you have not read the Bible, my friend. Paul says that if there had not been a need for a NEW covenant (contract) then the old would not have been done away with (as Paul believed). How could justification by the law (old covenant and yes Paul claimed you were NOT justified by it but by faith in god) be in effect if Jesus (in Paul's eyes) did away with the law with his sacrifice? IOW, to Paul and company, Jesus ended the need for the law. Jesus said otherwise.
The law(old covenant) wasnt done away with paul never said that every one misinterprets him. the law was fufilled There is no need for animal sacrifices but there is still need for feast and the commandments especially number 4 read it the 7 day is sat........... you are justified by faith in god as grace is shown to those who don't understand
@triplealliance The author of Hebrews seems to say that the first covenant was somehow flawed and that's why Jesus had to come into play.
Heb 8:6-7
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
@TruthSurge Sorry, Paul did not write Hebrews so didn't want to mislead from my first reply. Paul ALSO relegated the law to the trash bin but sure, the PROMISE would naturally have to be subsumed into the new belief system somehow and they naturally tried to explain it in god's favor but the Hebrews passage is pretty bad for Christianity, wouldn't you say? God made a faulty contract with Abraham? hahah oops.
@TruthSurge 1 and 2 where is the proof your brain waves exist? they act. evil=satan holy=God
3. back in the day there was no grace no forgiveness of sins done unwittedly they were as if done on purpose now think about the ceremonies the people did to the babies (terrible sins if you ask me) no forgiveness plus God knew that if they let one live terrible things would have came from them like what happened when Haman almost killed all the Jews and Haman was direct lineage of one they let live
@TruthSurge im guessing you are atheist by the way you talk, so dnt judge me if i am wrong, but anyway, if you are an atheist than what will happen to you after you die in your perspective,i just find it hard to believe that there wasn't some perfect holy being that created this universe, is it really so hard to believe that there is a being like our God who created everything more than that nothing came from something? Anyway hope you find Jesus God Bless
@Zeuslovespie where do dogs go when they die? where do tigers go when they die? Where do chimps go when they die? Yes, I believe in no gods AND believe no gods exist (from everything I can tell).
@TruthSurge Im sorry you feel that way but it seems that you didnt answer either of my questions and are just being a hypocrite like atheists so commonly accuse Christians of being, Im not trying to attack your faith but there is plenty of evidence that the Bible is real and that God is real. So how can you explain that something came out of nothing? Hope you find Jesus God Bless
@Zeuslovespie Exactly. Avoid YOUR problems and post the ONLY unanswerable question science has. Sweet. It's a fad lately for Christians to avoid looking at the myriad problems in the Bible and just ask the "where did the universe come from?" question as if that solves everything. You say it can't come from nothing yet... this god you say exists created it from... NOTHING! hahahhaha I'm kookoo for coco puffs! KOO KOO!
@TruthSurge once again you didnt answer my questions again. anyhoo ask me any question and im sure i can answer it. also, im not trying to avoid any problems you think i might have. Hope you find Jesus, God Bless.
@TruthSurge well, in my personal opinion, chimpanzees do not go anywhere when they die, but thats only my opinion, the Bible doesn't answer that question so i cant answer it anymore accurately than you can my question about where the universe came from. Now answer any one of my questions that i asked before since i answered a question of yours, please answer mine. Hope you find Jesus, God Bless.
@DarcsenOfLegend Prob is, you haven't even read the Bible through. It isn't like rocket science. It's painfully obvious that it's written by barbaric, uneducated, hateful, jealous people who simply projected their attitudes/beliefs onto their gods (yep, the Jews were polytheistic b4 they split from the Canaanites).
My one tip for today: before the year is out, read the Bible cover to cover and make notes. What you are believing is NOT what's in there.
@DarcsenOfLegend 2000 years of apologetics have not yet answered the questions in favor of Christianity. And you obviously haven't got an answer if you have to research something so simple as why god would command his chosen people to slaughter nursing babies for what their ancestors did over 400 years before. You bought a lemon and refuse to look under the hood. Yep. I'm done. :)
@TruthSurge 1st of all, death is a wonderful thing, not a horrible thing. The Bible tells us we R 2 live in this hellhole til we die but dying is a great thing if U believe N God. 2ndly there R many things God doesn't tell us about. Obviously we aren't supposed 2 know & He has His reasons 4 us not knowing. There R many things we do not understand yet that's N the Bible. God only reveals these things 2 us as He wants us 2 understand them. It's an ongoing process. Ppl guess but do not always know
@DarcsenOfLegend in all that, you addressed precisely none of the problems I mentioned in the last post. I think we're done here. Thanks for trying, though.
and yet.... you are trying to convince me that you somehow know what he's thinking. It's god loves you and god this and that but why do you ignore the CLEAR problems in the Bible stories? That's my question. Why? God clearly is a monster who drowned babies and burned babies alive and commanded his "chosen" people to slaughter nursing babies. This is the god you worship.
@TruthSurge As for people dying, as I stated, dying is a great thing. As for babies burning, etc, many say you separate from your physical body when you get to a certain pain threshold. Many people who have had near-death experiences have said this is true.
You have a Bible, don't you? You believe what is written actually happened, don't you? So, you DO know what god did and thought. ?
And a blind claim of "out of context" doesn't work. You have to show HOW it was taken out of the context and how it altered the interpretation. Else, you are merely avoiding the issues under vague apologetic tactics. When you define the Bible as only what you want, then you're lost.
@DarcsenOfLegend So, god didn't know that man would become eeeeeevil? Wiping all life (except for those righteous fish in the ocean) and starting over by making Noah and family commit.... INCEST... well, that sounds like a god who didn't know what he was doing.
@DarcsenOfLegend "those laws weren't something that limited a person's life. Thy were laws for our own protection against evil, like incest, "
Sure the laws were limiting. Over 600 of them and almost every one was a "DON'T do this" type of law. DON'T wear clothes of mixed fiber. Don't eat pork! It's unclean! UNCLEAN!
As for incest, you've got to be kidding, right? Please tell me you've read the story of Noah. Please?
One necessary attribute of Jesus' disciples is UNITY. Jesus even prayed that his followers would "be ONE, even as you, Father, and I are one." Considering that the disciples of ONE MAN went to ONE BOOK as their authority and so far have splintered into more than 40,000 (that's FORTY THOUSAND!) mutually hostile denominations, this book obviously has an evil influence that destroys any budding sense of unity. It just fails and fails and fails some more. And still no historical support, I see.
Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brothers wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother. Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brothers wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother
look the thing with mormanism, it says in revalations, in the very last sentence of the bible, that anyone who adds or takes away from gods word (the bible) will suffer gods wrath, and im sorry but the book of morman does that
Im not saying mormanism is terrible but some of those type of denominations try to take or add to the Bible, I dont have a denomination i just tell ppl my denomination is Bible-believing

Don't forget the archeological booboos. Ninevah was said to take 3 days to cross on foot yet excavations show it was only about 3 miles across. oops.
Daniel claims that Belshazzar was Nebuchadrezzar's son but inscriptions from Ugarit show he was Nabonidus' son. oops. Joshua supposedly marched around Jericho till the walls fell down. Excavations show that there were no walls during that time. OOPS! and on and on and on....
yep. Amazing to think that one person could convince another that an all-powerful god had a son (?) who had to die to save people (apparently the all-powerful couldn't just save them) and who was born by a young virgin already engaged to be married and he does miracles for 3 years (without any secular mention at all) and then if we buy it all, we get unimaginable bliss (but never described) in heaven. Or eternal torture if we choose not to love god. Amazing grace, indeed.
Gotta love that "Christian love", eh? Torture someone for simply not bowing down to an omnipotent being who requires the groveling worship of pee-ons like us... Torture someone who's never killed anyone while the one I'm supposed to bow to has drown millions of children? LMAO!
Yes a peon, the pawn. Alone it is simple...weak, en mass can be slightly dangerous.
When you speak of drowning millions of children I'll assume you meant the flooding of the Earth. There are a few philosophical questions you have to ask yourself...
What purpose would there be behind such an monstrosity?
To what extent would life be different now if no flood had occurred?
What action would you have personally taken?
Key word : Nephilim.
Just food for thought, not trying to prove a point.
i don't remember God drowning millions of children......and btw, since groveling at God's feet is our purpose, when we aren't doing it, what use are we to God? and He allows those who side against Him to live on earth for a time, not being productive in the over-all scheem of things, so yes, He is a loving God.
"I can say that you have no proof of it being wrong. "
Boy, are YOU wrong. Why don't you do a little searching online for Bible contradictions? Also, you might not enjoy reading Bart Ehrman's recent book, "Misquoting Jesus". It shows how the Bible was edited and changed over time and how some stories were inserted centuries later.
This ain't about being right. It's about reclaiming your life and your mind. You might thank me later.
Some stories were inserted later. That doesn't mean they aren't true. And, you cracked me up when you put look online for Bible contradictions!! I'mguessing you looked at those but then forgot to look at the responses to those so-called "contradictions"?
So, let's see. The adulteress story is missing from the earliest mss of John and is not quoted by the early church fathers for centuries. THEN the story appears in later mss. So are you telling me that this story happened in say 30-33 CE but no one wrote it down for hundreds of years and then suddenly decided to write it down?
I've seen no compelling solutions to most of the contradictions. Your comment shows you haven't really thought through this stuff.
Apparently Bart Ehrman, a Ph.D. with books on this very topic who also is recognized worldwide as a great Biblical scholar, has also not thought of that. :)
No, they're not. Almost all of it is fiction. You have not read anything showing it to you and you most likely haven't even read the Bible ONCE all the way through. Am I right?
I dont even know u and you are the only person in this world that will talk to me about this, but i am tired, and for me, its t o hard bieng this alone, I wrote a good by note,that is like 10 pages, long,I just cant live like this much longer :- (
you just need to pray and pray, he will show u the way, if u stop all the worrie and he will show you things so great, so powerful, so wonderful, u give him all not just a part of ur life, everything stop the worrie, it hurts, and if u give all to christ give it all to him pray and say father, please let ur light shine in my heart and all the hurt and pain i have i give to you, when you say that and believe it, and give him the pain u have he will take care of it and take u places,

Hi my name is Beck, and I just have been listining to your storys, I to have had alot of trouble trying to see how the book of Morman is true, I was babtised in 1978 in the morman church, (only becouse I thought I would marry Donn Osmond) well that shurley didnt happen, in fact I have been babtised in 7 different churches, trying to find the true church, the odd part ?? I was only saved Once. in Del City Oklahoma, in a suthern babtised church, very carismatic, I have so many ?? still please rsvp
hi beck im a youth minister in texas, and i see what ur talking about, but it really dont matter what church to go to ya know,
i know that was worded wrong but i mean if u go to a nazariene church or a catholic church or a baptist church ya know, as long as you have jesus christ in your heart your set, as long as u know hes the alpha and omega begining and the end, all the churches have a different way of showing their love of christ but all the same word of the lord,
Hi there, and thank you for writing me, I think I know were u are comming from, but i keep searching, and serching, and I ave never found the love of a fellowship like the way I felt when i was in that church, I would give anyting, just to feel that comfort and safety and OMG,, so fuffiled, the way I did that summer that I was in Del City ok.
I hate to sound to forward, But I am 44 yrs old , and probably the most lonliest,person,and my heart has been so empty, .. I will finish in a part 2 note
I will keep searching for that feeling when I recieved the spirit of the holy spirit, that summer, when I was 16 yrs old, I found that church while attending the "Guthrie job corp"
I feel as I am bieng punnished, for doing stuff from my past, that maby our "lord is trying to teach me something?? and thats why I have to be alone, and live alone, and due to my sin's I am doomed to a life of lonliness, until I pass away,
And I am sure thats I had to keep looking for the true church,..#3 next
you dont need to clean up the mess of the past, christ will take u as u are, and love you, i will pray for u becky, you will find our church, ur not alont in this world, and with christ u have everything, with out christ ur nothing, and i seen u said ur alone, god has the someone ready, dont let that hinder you from ur main focus on god,
picture a box, and our focal point is our life but it should be god, and we dont as humans, put christ as ur mail point and he
i looked at him and cryed, my past wasnt so great, but god dont love u from ur past, in the bible it says u repent and god forgets, he dont care about the past, dont dwell on the past dont look to the future live for today, you dont know what tomorrow brings, ya know what i mean, ur not talkin to me, ur talkin to god threw me, everything happened for a reassion, and god loves u the way u are, you will find your church but u have christ in ur life everything will be set, next note

First off, all these questions are judging the designer's character or competence which has nothing to do with whether he exists or not. Simply put, there is too much information that has to be created so I believe creation happened by design.

Well I actually don't believe in evolution so I guess it would be deceptive for a designer to do that. Similarities in genetics doesn't really prove evolution.

I don't understand. So human beings have skulls similar to that of apes in older time periods? But these type of apes disappeared and yet our skills were found much later?
I don't see how that proves anything though. If a person is considering both options, life by design or life by chance, then I don't think they would have a problem with the designer re-using his designs in different creatures. Similarities in bone structure and genetics aren't really proof in this case.

I guess it just seems more logical to me to believe that there is a designer because I do not believe you can just create machines by chance. I've never seen it happen and it sounds ridiculous. I'm sure people who are considering both ideas will probably think both the idea of life by design and life by chance sound ridiculous. I'd be interested in any powerful proofs though. Something like new body parts being developed or new creatures (more than just speciation).
OnIineWarrior 9 months ago
That makes sense and I think I get what you are saying but I believe it's impossible for it to happen by chance. The "big bang" just happened to produce laws that guided the expansion of matter which spread about and created galaxies and orbits. Then somehow, DNA, the most advanced info storage system we know of somehow gets produced by random or "naturalistic" forces that are capable of creating biological machines. Even if evolution is true, I would still believe in a designer.
OnIineWarrior 9 months ago
We can't create a single cell from scratch with all our intelligence and technology so how is it supposed to happen by chance? Then that cell has to evolve into a human being without intelligence. That simply sounds ridiculous and incredibly illogical. I don't really see what evidence there is for evolution. You can't watch macroevolution happen. They can't create life. The fossil evidence is lacking. Where is the evidence?

@TeesByTruthSurge
A belief in God usually goes hand in hand with the belief that He is eternal. If God was created then we would not be calling Him God. The being who created Him would be called God. People who believe in God usually believe in a form of option A where God has always been there and He simply has always existed. That explains where intelligence and the creation came from.

@DarcsenOfLegend according to the Bible, he DID change. His first covenant with Abraham wasn't sufficient so he made a NEW covenant (Jesus). ? READ YOUR BIBLE! I'm telling you, you will come to realize you don't have a personal relationship with any god, son of a god or anything like that. Ok. good luck.
TruthSurge 1 year ago
@TruthSurge Actually, those were two completely different covenants, not one covenant overruling another, like a supreme court case or something. God made a covenant with Abraham essentially saying that his descendants would become a great nation. The new covenant is his promise to us that through Jesus we can be saved. I don't understand how that means that God changed.
triplealliance 1 year ago
@triplealliance Then you have not read the Bible, my friend. Paul says that if there had not been a need for a NEW covenant (contract) then the old would not have been done away with (as Paul believed). How could justification by the law (old covenant and yes Paul claimed you were NOT justified by it but by faith in god) be in effect if Jesus (in Paul's eyes) did away with the law with his sacrifice? IOW, to Paul and company, Jesus ended the need for the law. Jesus said otherwise.
TruthSurge 1 year ago
The law(old covenant) wasnt done away with paul never said that every one misinterprets him. the law was fufilled There is no need for animal sacrifices but there is still need for feast and the commandments especially number 4 read it the 7 day is sat........... you are justified by faith in god as grace is shown to those who don't understand

@triplealliance The author of Hebrews seems to say that the first covenant was somehow flawed and that's why Jesus had to come into play.
Heb 8:6-7
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
TruthSurge 1 year ago
@TruthSurge Sorry, Paul did not write Hebrews so didn't want to mislead from my first reply. Paul ALSO relegated the law to the trash bin but sure, the PROMISE would naturally have to be subsumed into the new belief system somehow and they naturally tried to explain it in god's favor but the Hebrews passage is pretty bad for Christianity, wouldn't you say? God made a faulty contract with Abraham? hahah oops.

@DarcsenOfLegend Prob is, you haven't even read the Bible through. It isn't like rocket science. It's painfully obvious that it's written by barbaric, uneducated, hateful, jealous people who simply projected their attitudes/beliefs onto their gods (yep, the Jews were polytheistic b4 they split from the Canaanites).
My one tip for today: before the year is out, read the Bible cover to cover and make notes. What you are believing is NOT what's in there.

@DarcsenOfLegend 2000 years of apologetics have not yet answered the questions in favor of Christianity. And you obviously haven't got an answer if you have to research something so simple as why god would command his chosen people to slaughter nursing babies for what their ancestors did over 400 years before. You bought a lemon and refuse to look under the hood. Yep. I'm done. :)

@TruthSurge 1st of all, death is a wonderful thing, not a horrible thing. The Bible tells us we R 2 live in this hellhole til we die but dying is a great thing if U believe N God. 2ndly there R many things God doesn't tell us about. Obviously we aren't supposed 2 know & He has His reasons 4 us not knowing. There R many things we do not understand yet that's N the Bible. God only reveals these things 2 us as He wants us 2 understand them. It's an ongoing process. Ppl guess but do not always know

and yet.... you are trying to convince me that you somehow know what he's thinking. It's god loves you and god this and that but why do you ignore the CLEAR problems in the Bible stories? That's my question. Why? God clearly is a monster who drowned babies and burned babies alive and commanded his "chosen" people to slaughter nursing babies. This is the god you worship.
TruthSurge 1 year ago
@TruthSurge As for people dying, as I stated, dying is a great thing. As for babies burning, etc, many say you separate from your physical body when you get to a certain pain threshold. Many people who have had near-death experiences have said this is true.
TiggerKitty49 1 year ago
@DarcsenOfLegend "I can't tell you what He's thinking."
You have a Bible, don't you? You believe what is written actually happened, don't you? So, you DO know what god did and thought. ?
And a blind claim of "out of context" doesn't work. You have to show HOW it was taken out of the context and how it altered the interpretation. Else, you are merely avoiding the issues under vague apologetic tactics. When you define the Bible as only what you want, then you're lost.

@DarcsenOfLegend So, god didn't know that man would become eeeeeevil? Wiping all life (except for those righteous fish in the ocean) and starting over by making Noah and family commit.... INCEST... well, that sounds like a god who didn't know what he was doing.
