I've decided to devote a thread to the belief system in which I believe God works on.
Let's begin on what God is all about:
1rst we will look at choice. As many of you will argue that religion is something that once you get into it, you will simply blindly follow and you are given a ball and chain and there is absolutely no choice whatsoever. That's simply not the case. I'm sure you know as well as I do that there are extremist out there, but nonetheless God created us with freewill. Otherwise there wouldn't be any atheist to go haywire on this thread after they have read it. We as humans have a choice in which we set our faith (or lack thereof) our morals, our beliefs, and so on and so forth. God didn't want robots without any choice. He wanted something you could make that he could love him and something intelligent enough to love him back.
2nd we will look at faith. Religion is based completely on faith. Hebrews 11 is all about faith (NIV translation)
Verse 1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
Verse 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at Godâs command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
Verse 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Our moral choices
What other choices could you possibly think of?
**** it mage I have to stare at thing while I reply.
So no humans will condone killing someone for insulting them eh? I thought that throughout history you pretty much couldn't do anything that would slightly anger a king without being killed (this doesn't apply to all kings).
Please don't bring up morals... Half the people here don't understand what they are.
What is with that picture?
"You kids leave him alone, he is a very important guy for my plan. Understand? Okay, now run along kids, oh and here is some ice-cream *happyface*."
Fair enough, let's say no human laws. Or modern laws will condone murder for that reason. Except in war but this wasn't a case of military action.
Then why bring sin into this? isn't it not a negative moral choice?
It's a disease
I know I'm contradicting my last post when i said "Please don't bring up morals..." but the reason for that is because our morals now are different then their morals
So it's okay for god to do it because the people in 4000 BC would have condoned it? Do god's morals change then?
John 3:16 cut clean and clear.
If it's okay to do back then, then why not do it? If it's not okay to do now, then don't do it now.
@loloynage
That is possibly the most disgusting thing i have ever seen.
Because it's god?
I fail to see your point.
On man, no matter what his origins is not an equal compromise. If this is a compromise then God seems to have stacked the deck in his favour.
