  • @JamesAsp I don't understand why this is such a difficult question to answer.

    I'm very happy to hear you wouldn't offer your daughters to be raped if you where in Lot's position but I'm very disturbed when you defend Lot. The excuse that his son's in law where among the men is the first time I hear but I must say it's one of the most ridiculous. The reason I never heard it is probably because the bible doesn't say they where among the men, but why does it matter? Seriously??!!

  • @JamesAsp Yes, I understand you don't believe god would ask you to sacrifice your child. I don't believe that either. I don't even believe he exists but that was not the question. My core question was what does he have to do in order for Christians to think he is evil? Would asking you to sacrifice your child be such a thing? If he asked you this, even if you don't think he would, but if? What would you do? Would you do what I would do and NOT obey or would you do what Abraham would do and OBEY?

  • @bigredmoon1 Now about Sodom. If a "soon to be" son in law acted like that in the first place I would get my daughters as far away from them as possible.

    However I can't judge Lot as he was in a dire situation. Just imagine yourself in his spot. He had to come up with a hasty decision that could solve it with no harm at all. As I told you I can see how Lot tried to convince the soon to be son in laws to "wake up" and get them on his side when they realize others could mistreat their betrothed.

  • @bigredmoon1 I repeat: God wouldn't ask one to offer their kids. Not even in Abrahams situation did he do it. You need to see the context. The context are:

    1) God will take care of our sin. We can't offer anything for that "Mark 8:37".

    2) To show before the host of Heaven, and us, a man that knew God is good.

    3) Showing us and Abraham that God doesn't want us to sacrifice our kids by saying stop to him.

  • @JamesAsp 1st question was not if he WOULD ask you to sacrifice your child or not. It was what would you do if he DID ask you this. 2nd question ended with "whether your son's in law where among the men or not"

    Now I know you wouldn't offer your 2 daughters if your son's in law where not among the men but what would you do if they where among the men? And how about slavery, how can you twist you are allowed to hit your slave but not kill to, you are not allowed to kill and say it's a good thing?

  • @bigredmoon1 First question: See here is the thing. I know God wouldn't ask me to do it. I know He is good.

    Second question: No I wouldn't and I dare tell you Lot wouldn't had either if his son's in law hadn't been among the men. The resolve he did was only a try to fix that particular situation. Because they weren't raped. Of course the angels didn't need help in the first place but Lot couldn't know that.

  • @JamesAsp Part 2 I can't bother going through everything you wrote and frankly, I don't see the point. But I would like to ask you 2 questions. I don't know if you have kids but let's assume you have. If god told you to sacrifice your child as a burnt offering, would you really agree to do it? 2nd question, if 2 angels visited your home and the men from the city wanted to rape them would you really offer your 2 daughters to be raped instead, whether your son's in law where among the men or not?

  • @JamesAsp Part 1 "But then I have just proved you wrong."

    No you haven't, far from it. The only thing you have done is to show me that you defend god no matter what he does.

    "I can't even relate to the bad things you "try" to say that one like me ought to have."

    I don't say you "ought" to have them yourself but I'm very disturbed when you defend this evil god. When god says you are allowed to hit your slave as long as he doesn't die since he is you property you defend him. How can you do that?

  • @bigredmoon1 Your Part15: But then I have just proved you wrong. I am not that evil person you portray religion makes. I can't even relate to the bad things you "try" to say that one like me ought to have. I do understand your war on human imagination however and even wish you luck on it. there is so much falsehood "hiding" behind religion and it is good it comes forward and are being dealt with.
