Arkansas inflicts child abuse on its school children

No one is getting eternal life based on their merit. Eternal life is based on Jesus Christ and His righteousness.

That is the problem Others have pointed this out. But, somehow you think this is a good thing.

Evil Lot gets a free pass.
People like Jim Bakker who conned the life savings from thousands of people gets a free pass.
A Hindu, who leads a good life, goes to Hell.

If that is how your God does things, then you have a strange understanding of good and evil.

 

[ElishaElijah]

How does one who has committed evil come to be forgiven? If one knows he can be forgiven for being evil then he knows that he can continue to be evil and be forgiven again and again.

Actually, according to what you wrote: "an inheritance that will never go away" being forgiven once is good for total absolution forever.

Well your still in your sins, you don’t think you’ve committed any evil crimes? Adultery , lying, stealing, covetousness, envy, greed, taking Gods name in vain?

If you’ve contributed to pornography you have participated and supported exploiting someone else’s daughter or wife. Had sex with someone you didn’t marry or was married ? Just as bad

Stop side-stepping. Stop ducking and dodging.

No more questions until you address the long outstanding ones from me...

When are you going to address...
Numbers 31
17So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. 18Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.

How you would judge your son if he gave your granddaughters to a hateful mob.

Fine with me

 

[ElishaElijah]

Mine was “What about the Pygmies? I don’t care at all about them, all excuses to keep living like I was and dismiss God. Seems a lot of people do that.

Fine with me

So, you will not address
Numbers 31
17So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. 18Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.

I'm not surprised. It's really hard to justify war crimes. It's much easier to

No, those supposed sins are merely based upon the failed idea of women as property. Selling someone else is far worse. You are continuing that "sin" by doing that.

And whose fault is that? According to the myths of Genesis it is God's fault. But I doubt if you can let yourself understand that.

Okay, you do not understand the concept of a selfie either. A "selfie" is not when someone else takes a picture of you.

They can't; literalist's beliefs fall apart if anything is proven wrong or just a myth.

We really do not care who gives excuses to claim that God is a liar. Your strange insistence that your God is a liar and your refusal to learn how you are making that claim is very odd to say the least.

But the Bible is demonstrably not "God's story". The Bible is just a book written by men. The countless errors and self contradictions tell us that it was either written by men, who would be likely to make such errors, or God is so incompetent that it is no wonder that he screwed the pooch in his creation. Now you are not only claiming that God is a liar but that he is incompetent as well.

My Biblical story is just fine and lines up with what we see today. Your fake scientific explanation however, could never happen.

Nope, your version. Not a strawman.

You keep calling your God a liar and lying by using the false accusation of "strawman" will not make that go away.

Nope. No magic boat in a magic flood. No Adam and Eve. Jesus almost certainly was not buried as in your myth. The list goes on and on.
