Does GOD Love You?

[Pale Rider]

I believe in God, but I dont believe the Bible is accurate. All that should matter is if you believe. How it happened is irrelevent. I also dont believe Jesus is the son God, but I do believe he is a savior because he gave his life for the betterment of society.

This is such a very odd statement. I've never heard anyone say that before. I don't know how you can believe in God and not Jesus Christ when God said, the only to me is through my son.

You are right, God is not one person's "god." He is God. I AM.

LOL! No, I AM!

So if X rapes your mother, then rapes your father, your brother, your sister, and you, will you accomodate? Evil commanded? Surely you jest Sir...

I jest not one bit, Sir. If X rapes anybody, there is no accomodation for that--even if X's God commands it. And if X should disobey such a command, or if I should block X, in direct defiance of that God's will; and if that disobediance and defiance is sin, punishable by eternal burning (or eternal death, or kittens, or whatever is supposed to be miserable...), I assure you I will stand against this God regardless.

You obviously have never read the Bible. There is no eternal torture, there is simply eternal sleep or "death." As to disobedience, get your facts straight before posting.

You obviously presume a great deal. And as for "disobediance," you obviously need to get your own facts straight--one word sums up "disobediance of God."

I suggest reading what you speak of before pronouncing judgment.

I would suggest the same for you.

You would want the same for you. No?

Indeed, I would.

And no cherry picking, for you would dislike that if a poster did that to you. No?

Of course. But if I was troubled by such cherry picking, I would be troubled all the time.

Human sacrifice?

Yes. Human sacrifice. I think the particularly disurbing kind of human sacrice is the kind where humans are compelled to sacrifice themselves--you know, out of obediance to their sadistic God.

Your god?

Yes. A opposed to this false God of human suffering and torture I've been positing in this discussion.

Very simple. Believing in God doesn't mean you have to believe everything God allegedly said.

Or what anybody says and writes about Him--no matter how long ago they said or wrote it.

But if you chose to do that, then you're not a true Christian. It says in the Bible that whosoever shall take away or add to these words shall be blastphemous.

The world is full of people who believe in God and who aren't Christians at all, remember?
