I said He will allow people who trust Him to have eternity with Him. I trust Him and i have posed questions to Him, thousands of them. But i do not lay allegations against Him and accuse Him of Evil doings. That’s the line you have transgressed. God is longsuffering to people like you But He is not eternally longsuffering. Either you withdraw your allegations against Him or He will harden your heart and use you as a vessel of His wrath. Do you want to be used by God as a vessel of grace or a vessel of wrath? It is up to you.
Legally executing someone is not murder. God is the ultimate judge perfect in all His decisions. He has the right to give life and take it whenever He likes. And if He chooses to use His followers as agents to carry out His wrath upon offenders then so be it. He can use us or He can use those who are in rebellion against Him, He has used both in the past. You keep on calling God a murderer and you will regret it for eternity. God rightfully carries out wrath upon those who love evil, He has done it in the past and will do it in the future. You don't like that???? Then you side with those who are in rebellion against God and place yourself in a position to justifiably receive his wrath. Eternal wrath in the lake of fire.
Then why do you suppose that you can judge the God of the Bible and declare him guilty? Only God could make such a call. The audacity and pride that you have is astounding. And to think you do not have 100% confidence in your own perfection but still you think your perfect enough to gamble your eternity away by judging God to be evil. Like a fly to beat it’s trying to cool a star going into supernova.
Simply stated, Adstar, I am saying that I think that God is incapable of doing many of the things that are attributed to Him in the Bible, primarily in the Old Testament. I believe that I am not going to hell simply because I dare to think that God might be too good for such behaviors.
And I am also saying that the Bible, which the “evil” (in your own view) Catholic Church canonized, is at the very least, partially an unreliable source of revelation about God. That should be no surprise at all looking at the source. What real basis might you have for claiming that the Catholic Church was ever capable of determining what was and what was not scripture. You really do have a lot of misplaced faith in these people, my friend! But on the other hand, you are also willing to condemn them all to hell. Anyway, this does not make much sense to my warped brain!
I would further dare to apply this same, what I will call, “high moral” view of God’s motives across the board, universally, to examine the actions of any religion or the claims of any religious texts in the entire world. You seem to be willing to do this, as well, but only to every other religion and text but your own, for what appear to be arbitrary reasons.
I know! I will still probably burn eternally just for thinking all of this, right?
I see no reason to continue our current conversation here, do you? I don't know about you, but if I keep going down this road with you I will just end up repeating myself over and over again.
So, until our next conversation, I wish you all the best, Adstar!
And as for all of you atheists out there, thank you, I already know that I am a stupid, idiot! Best wishes to you all as well, anyway!
...there is room for all our variety of thoughts...
