1. A father loves his child.
2. A father sees his child doing something wrong.
3. A father punishes the child, so that the child does not do the wrong thing that it was doing again.
4. A father still loves the child.
You forgot to mention the punishment must be proportionate to the crime. It would be more like
1. A father says he loves his child
2. A father sees his child doing wrong
3. THE FATHER TORTURES THE KID WITH A BURNING IRON
4. The father still loves his (burning) child
And when doing something wrong is as simple as "Not believing in him", or human nature like "lust".
Or maybe it would be more like:
1. A father says he loves a child
2. The father sees the child do something minor wrong
3. The father gives the kid a choice. He could either torture his other son or torture him.
4. The father tortures someone
5. The father is happy.
I wouldn't want him as a father.
you do not believe there is a god-you believe there is no god.
Am I wrong in saying this is the exact same thing?
Yes? One is a passive thing. One is a belief.
By this logic, you are an aathiest because you don't don't believe in god.
Do you believe that there is no unicorns, or not believe in unicorns?
the last time I checked the world was round
It was. The Bible says it was flat.
when has He tortured someone?
Considering that he controls every action, always. Then there is Hell, which he is torturing everyone with fire, Revelations when he tortures everyone, Jesus who he tortured, several people in the Bible he tortured mentally by killing their families. I was mostly referring to Hell.
until that point, people sacrificed animals. God made the very last sacrifice, so that there would be no more. hmm...
this kinda sounds like a loving God!
Wait. A god demands that you murder things, then murders his own son himself, and he is somehow loving?
Lets say it is your father doing this:
Day 1 "Son, I need you to go out and kill a cow for me! You can eat part of it if you want. I just want you to burn some as a burnt offering to me."
You: "Why?"
Him "Because you are a bad boy and the only way I can forgive your or existing is if you kill things for me. now off you go!"
Day 10:
"Well son I don't need you to sacrifice any more!"
"Why is that dad?"
"Because I sacrificed my only son to myself!"
?
if you are reading this God has not ended the world.
He killed everyone except for his family, ever heard of Noah? It was the end of the world as they new it. So he ended the world.
if it confuses you that much, you can think of God like water. it can be solid, liquid, and gas, but is still always water
No. Water is always water. But god is apparently ice and steam and liquid, all at once, but separately at the same time. Or does he just have personality disorder?
Three people who are one person who are three people isn't water, steam, and ice, it is insanity.
God does not hate sex, in fact He wishes for us to multiply. God in disappoited with sex-related sins, such as adultery, premarital sex, incest, pornography, etc., but God does not hate sex itself
So god doesn't hate sex, as long as you don't have sex or do anything related to sex? And only allows sex inside, marriage, with no lust, and apparently no masturbation or pornography? Then he hates sex 90% of the time. Is that better?
if you want to know, I am Lutheran. christianity, though, encases all denominations. and if you said that Catholics, for exampe, are the only true Christians, the other denominaions would not be Christians, and therefore would not be Christians that misunderstood Christianity
A Christian is someone who believes in Christ. SO they are all Christian, no matter how you say it. So basically, by our ideology, everyone who isn't a Lutheran is a Christian who "Misunderstood Christianity".
what? how do you figure he didn't write this?
I just showed you the quote. He got it from a secondary source.
Basically you see how I quoted in the last article? That is basically what he did.
