GOD = Mother Nature (they are equal therefore they are the same) ... I don't see ANY problem with the way Mother Nature has treated Mankind ... we had it coming a thousand times over
@Genesis2091 your very right my friend all these questions are in the bible man is suffering due to the actions of other men. So one of the reasons were created IS to help the less fortunate. stupid questions come from stupid people...
and if we are called to love one another, then remember that love is not judgemental. it will only create more suffering to call people debasing things. i am sure that the maker of this video did not want to be called stupid, she is just struggling through her faith.
my mum died of cancer and my granma died too,a year later my wife left me.i turn to mediums,to try and see that they were alright.but now ive seen it in the bible that its very bad to do this and when someone is dead that they cant be contacted. so what is the sprital church about i am confused can anyone tell me ?
There is a part I can explain for a bit. People run with the "God is an omnipotent Baby-killer" argument. It sounds nice, except it's a one-sided argument. Nobody bothers closely looking at the people he ordered driven out and killed; for one, these were people who rebellious and sacrificed their own children by burning them to fake idols.
That and The Bible explains that he doesn't take any pleasure in inflicting pain. Although, where'd you see that?
@1aundulxaldin Some verses go into graphic detail about how the Israelites are supposed to massacre other tribes---"dash infants against the rocks" and "spear the bellies of pregnant women" and "young virgins you may keep for your self". The "devil" is in the details.
Are these these really the commandments of a just and merciful "god" or are they the actions of a primitive tribe of marauding savages making up god as an excuse? I think the answer is easy.
Also---condemning sinners and non-believers to an eternity of fire torture is about as sick and twisted as it gets. Again--I could never consider such a feat of evil as coming from "god". It was made up by manipulative theocratic barbarians as a fear tactic to scare the ignorant masses into submission.
I understand your argument, though just think carefully about this for a few minutes and reread the passages.
It's clear that every person born is a sinner since Adam and Eve. And true, Babies can't make conscious moral decisions since they aren't old enough to know good and evil. But the children of the tribes the Israelites encountered, the ones killed, would've grown up opposed to God if they lived. Dying, unborn children would have been rewarded with Heaven.
@1aundulxaldin My point was about the methods by which people were murdered---do you know what dashing means?--it means taking little infants by the feet and continuously swinging them against rocks until finally dead and their brains are splattered around.
It's always disheartening to hear Christians defend atrocities. Is there anything sick and twisted enough that you won't find some way to spin it into something righteous? As long as god does it then it must be good, right?
@1aundulxaldin Are you out of your fucking mind?!? You are justifying the slaughter of innocent babies, based on nothing more than the sheer random fact that they were born into the wrong tribe? Ironically, I bet your opposed to abortion as well. Sickening moral relativism. People like you drive me FURTHER away from religion.
Thank you for reaffirming my decision not to believe the nonsense. And I sure as hell hope you never get your own hands on a baby from the wrong tribe.
But to Mr. Sweetsweatyfeet, I was explaining what I knew from study. Scripture does also prescribe protection for children. But everyone, including babies are still under mortal judgement. God had to do what was necessary, and when it was necessary.
Spared, and growing up automatically opposed to God would've been judged for Hell after death.
God is just and merciful. Abraham asked God if He would destroy the cities if there were 50 righteous people in them. God said no. Then Abraham asked the same question if there were 45. Every time he dropped the number and got the same answer. The fact is that God would not have destroyed those cities if there were any righteous in them. God does not destroy the righteous with the evil.
@1aundulxaldin The god depicted in the OT IS evil---evil beyond imagination. In fact the adversary known as Satan is comparatively far less evil. If evil is defined as the causing of death and suffering then the god of the OT is light years more evil than Satan who as far as I know killed only one or two people. And don't forget what god has in store for us in Revelations.
Even if I believed this god existed (I don't) my conscience would not permit me to love and worship such a monster.
Alpha is not a course, it's just indoctrination. YOU ask the questions and THEY (the course leaders) give the answers. They are not interested in learning anything from nay sayers and atheists, which is why they prefer to target fence sitters and conflicted people. Those types are much easier to sway through a barrage of preaching and peer pressure.
@sweetsweatyfeet As a former Alpha course leader, you've hit the nail right on the head. This video is actually quite a good representation of how an Alpha course is split up. Several events of good discussion, followed by a healthy dose of peer pressure at an event like a restaurant which is all intended to weaken one's critical thinking faculties. This is followed by a "holy spirit day" in the second half with the intention of forcing commitment through endless appeals to emotion and authority
i am not a huge christian believer , however if my life has reached a point where i really do not want to live and know that my life will continue in pain and despair , will god accept me killing myself?
@JamesBankman6 has your life been "worth it" up to this point? Something you'd have to examine. Also ask yourself "what is the benefit of suicide"? By religious logic, it wouldn't be beneficial.
God is a good God...He is the Only God...God is Love...without pain and suffering there would be no compassion...how can we as humans love each other like god told us to if there's no compassion.Every soul on this earth will hear of God...only after the gospel is spread till the earth's end only then the end will come...so don't worry - every single soul will hear of Him.If I could ask God anything it would be ''Why do people ask these stupid questions and don't read the Bible who answers them?
True that this program is a blatant sham preying on soft-minded plebeians who can scarce articulate a question about existence, let alone answer one. On the other hand, socksumi, try not to be as equally big a moron if you're trying to rip on something.
Also, pulling the whole "God's really a WOMAN" card is just plain idiotic. Nobody who's opinion matters is actually discussing whether God is male or female. Twit.
Loaded questions. Ask your god why she CAUSES pain, suffering and dearth and why she is a genocidal scumbag. You'll get no answers back because your friend god is a imaginary.
