A member earlier said he turned from God and His word because he didn't believe his lifestyle was a sin and didn't want to hear about it anymore. There is a living example of it. Rebellion against God. Why is this not evident to you?
I see what you mean now. The revelation of God through...
That's unfortunate. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4. Don't let him win.
Your cynicism is humorous only to yourself, I think. Lot's righteousness is revealed in his desire to put God before his own children and flesh; that is protecting strangers at any cost, in this case, God's angels. This is a very...
It was not inhospitality alone that condemned the city. Nor was it the rapists. You are hyperfocused on the homosexual implications of the text. Homosexuality isn't what sodom should be known for. Unrighteousness, sin in general, going against God... rebellion. God said He would spare the...
This is a problem with history in general, it's by no means isolated to biblical history. Most secular historians are in agreement of the reliability of the texts, though. There are questionable verses here and there, but overall, it's not as debated (nor altered) as you make it out to be.
On...
I'm glad you read your bible.
When there are no righteous left to spare. As you implied in your earlier post, driving God and His people out will lead to your firestorm, not to utopia.
The revelation of God comes in stages, seasons perhaps. 2.0 as you say it is on the horizon. There's a preview trailer in Revelation for your perusal.
I don't know. I haven't looked, really. I don't think it's a cause that would lend any fruit; people do what people do.
To people in...
This isn't refuted, I doubt. Lowercase gods (in some cases) are just spirit beings God created, but they fell in sin and rebellion to the earth. Most are probably made up, but not all, I imagine.
But implying God is fallible or not supreme, or is taken by surprised, or unprepared, is "still...
I was speaking to the state of Christianity in Sweden. As always, you bring everything down to the beastly and mundane. For what it's worth, I'd rather be respected and called great in the Kingdom of God than in the world.
One people often forget, yet I live it every day of my life. Perhaps you just have no scope, I don't know. Try this:
Or as it's sometimes said, the rain falls on the righteous and the wicked. God is so good, in fact, that He blesses those who hate him, and do harm. Where sin is more, grace...
Not to stir a new pot, however in fairness the NT was quite progressive when it came to women in the time it was written. It may not seem so now, but it was then.
Internally yes; most pastors won't marry non-believers. At least the ones I know absolutely will not. Some will of course, but...
I think I was trying to convey the point it used to not be a legalized matter, sorry if I misconstrued. I meant the state got involved later, and hence the issues people who'd like to remain a private or faith based issue, are having... issues.
As the above poster I quoted made clear, I can...
Wait, so let me get this straight. Because bad stuff exists and thus happens to people, that means God is bad, or non-existent? Because, why let something bad happen to people you love? Is that the point?
How can anyone ever defeat such a solid argument? Hmm. Well, there's always John 11...
I find it endearing when non-believers use the bible to incriminate God Himself. Okay, okay. Let's start with Exodus.
How many chances, warnings, and attempts did God make to appeal to Pharaoh prior to resorting to the verse you cited?
Jeremiah is a book about calling Israel to repentance...
I was gonna use Jeremiah 31:31-33, but it's not the Torah, so like, it doesn't matter...
We still haven't heard from Simplelogic on if God can add to His work, or not. Such a simple question, so slippery a slope....
