On love hang the Law and the Prophets, or so I hear. --But I suppose I'm one of the atheists. Belief in a personal god seems inconsistent with what I know of the world. Still, I would worship a god of love. But a holy god who torments people in the name of "justice"? Such a thing would be worthy of contempt and opposition. To stand on the side of tolerance, compassion, and love, to stand on the side of Good--where dwell the weak and the outcasts--and to there die or burn, this would be to live.
God has a benevolant love for all of humankind. But, he demonstrated love at calvary with His Son, that requires repentance. Without following His commands, then you prove that you hate God and that you are an enemy of God.
If the ruler of the universe is a bloodthirsty monster who took delight in the painful, gory murder of his son, then he would be my enemy. However, as I said, such a being does not exist. The commands of "God" are as diverse and contradictory as the people whose commands they really are. I refuse to put faith in any of the imaginary beings called "God" and likewise refuse to follow the superstitious commands of religious madmen who happen to have written books authoritative to slavish men.
Fallacious suppositions. God the Father handed over His Son to lawless men... This sacrifice of Holy Blood is what is required to remit or wipe away the painful, gory and wicked rebels against God. No Jesus came to free you from the slavery of your sin. But, you love your darkness more than my King, thus you are judicially condemned before the Creator of the universe. But, you don't have to be, trust the Savior. I was once just like you.
Not your friend. What do the angels that circle God cry out? HOLY HOLY HOLY, not love love love, nice nice nice, or whatever, God is Holy, and requires that you be as well through His Son. NOT EVERYONE GOES TO HEAVEN. THOSE WHO LOVE THE WORLD ARE ENEMIES OF GOD, JUST LIKE YOU.
I didn't say that God's love is nice; it's fierce, and will tear some of us to pieces. And by the way, the song doesn't tell us to love the world; it says that hell is here on earth, away from God.
WRONG, this song is saying that everyone gets into heaven no matter what you do, you can be ga, straight, murder, lie, whatever and still get to heaven in that present state. It also says that there are no gates in heaven, and the above referenced verse blows that up pieces. The bible says in psalm 5:5 that God HATES all workers of iniquity.
You're supposed to be a Christian, so let's stick to the New Testament, shall we? Except for some extravagant phrases in Revelations, there aren't any verses in the entire New Testament stating that God hates anyone (Rom. 9:13 refers back to the Old Testament). In fact, his command is that we stop hating each other. Get with it!
Oh so you are under the impression that the God of the old testament is not the same as the one in the new. Dude Im done with you...you obviously have nothing but opinion. Shut your mouth. Have fun in hell hypocrite, you need to repent and forske your sins and turn to Jesus.
Hell is a place of eternal torment where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, and that the smoke of your torment will rise forever and ever. HELL IS NOT HERE ON EARTH.
Despite the fact that you are typing on a computer...you are in fact responding to someone who is created in the image of the God we both love dearly. I love Jesus Christ with all my heart.
#1- You're right. We aren't friends. But we are brothers adopted as sons of God through Jesus Christ. If you limit yourself to friends that just follow Christ then you are not following the example of Christ himself. He loved all those who came to him. Even the wicked. Though He did tell them to turn to Him.
And you won't have an impact on those who disagree with you if you just ignore them or rush in yelling at them and talking about how much they hate God.
#2- I don't know much about many things. But the love of God I do know and have experienced profoundly in my life. What I don't know about God's love is how it can be accessed by His grace by people who are so unworthy of it... myself included.
I pray that you will come to a place where you can see people through God's eye and show them the
love that He has for them. Love that meets them exactly where they are and calls them to go and stretch further into places they do not now know. Our God is merciful and compassionate and loving, and we are called to be so as well. Christ said that people would know we are His followers by our love. Let your love show, my brother, not your disdain. And God will take care of the rest.

REV 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
REV 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
No gates huh? Well I beg to differ.
