---------------Did God start discrimination?
[Assuming God exists of course]
Discrimination = refers to unfair,unequal treatment of an individual (or group) based on certain characteristics
including:
1) Is it good to discriminate? Should it be allowed to discriminate?
- Age
- Disability
- Ethnicity
- Gender
- Marital status
- National origin
- Race,
- Religion, and
- Sexual orientation.
2) To tell someone he goes to hell or heaven based on above characteristics is that discrimination?
3) To tell that God said so in Bible, can we say "God and Bible are discriminating [asuming both are true]"?
4) Is it good to follow a God/Religion/Scripture who discriminates? Should it be encouraged to follow this?
5) If God is said to be Omni benevolent etc.could it be that human dictated part of scriptures and not God?
6) Evangelizing and proselytizing: Human invention? If yes, why? Or you still think God wants us do this?
Any ideas or other questions popping up?
1. No:
The Apostle Peter states: ...for a certainty I perceive the God is not partial...
Acts 10:34.
2.No:
Why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? Rom 14:10
3. No
Nowhere is discrimination encouraged in the Bible.
4. No
Concerning those who display ungodly traits Paul says:....having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power, and from these turn away.
5. ? definition needed.
The Bible declare in many place that God (JHVH) is almighty or omnipotent. The term omnibenevolent is however not a scriptural term but a profane one.
6. Yes
Proselitizing is a requirement that Jesus Christ gave those professing to be his followers, thus is not of human origin.( see acts 10:42 or Mat 28:19).
