However I don't understand how you project what we, God's creatures are commanded to do onto God Himself, as if because we are commanded to do something then God also is requires to do the same.
Do you understand the meaning of corruption? Is not corruption in power when those in power say: "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO?" God is not corrupt. All of the attributes Jesus says we are to have come from the Father. Jesus said, "If you have seen me - you have seen the Father". We are born corrupt in our human nature (by nature children of wrath) at enmity with God. God's offspring are to overcome corruption. These principles are not hard to understand. Do you know anyone who loves a brutal dictator who is unfair and shows favoritism? Look how much the people around the world are rising up against dictators screaming ENOUGH! They want LIBERTY or DEATH. Is God looking to be kind ONLY to those who "flatter" him (as if he has a human ego)? Is God the Father like Hosni Mubarak or all the other corrupt dictators throughout the globe who just throws people in prison and allows them to be tortured because they dared to ask for what is right? We need to truly think about these things and the ramifications of what we believe.

Funny thing though, lucknow, there are a lot of people who would also say the BIBLE is their truth with whom you would likely disagree on many points. Which is why it is kind of a moot point when people say, "you need to join a 'BIBLE-believing' church". My town is covered with 'BIBLE-believing churches and they don't agree on a lot of things (but most of them agree on eternal torment for the lost). They can only find agreement at the lowest common denominator. But that one point is the thing that keeps me from joining any of them because I find it to be a VERY IMPORTANT doctrine -- the very character of God hinges on it.
Very good point and post Heartsong.The fact they they agree on the lowest common denominator speaks volumes. Love being the greatest common denominator is alien to them and offensive, and in their world is behind, wrath,justice and judgement and all the other beliefs they major on.

Sarcasm: “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt.” ....
And also.....
Sarcasm has been suggested as a possible bullying action in some circumstances. In sarcasm, ridicule or mockery is used harshly, often crudely and contemptuously, for destructive purposes.

It's the truth as i see it, you all major on wrath,justice, judgement and all the other dogmatic doctrines,then throw in a little love(conditional) in there for good measure, it's one thing to believe in all the christian dogmatism, it's entirely different when you major in it., so i aint being sarcastic whatsoever .I suppose when you call those who disagree with your doctrines false prophets has not being sarcastic, and where do i start with what you believe about those who believe in UR ?.
It is strange that so many are so interested in examining everyone else's faith, but never their own The Bible instructs to examine your own faith, not your neighbors faith.

Yep.... !!
It's also called the lack of the Holy Spirit in the life...... you'll know them by their fruit..... The fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, PEACE, FORBEARANCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF-CONTROL.
And those kind of post LACK without exaggeration every ounce of the fruit of God's Spirit !!
We can see and read that the acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
So what does that tell one about those when one reads such post on a continuous basis with so much of the flesh in it, one truly questions very much where is God in that life...... ones good option is to pray for that soul !!!
