God warns about the anti-christ cult messages that will dwell within Christianity (pastors, children)

Love and hate are emotional responses within the human mind; but true love and hate cannot cohabitate.

Do you not understand? We change our surroundings, not the entire world. Each person is responsible for their own surroundings. Keep preaching that negativity and your surroundings will remain negative. Spread the Love and watch how the light opens your heart to peace and joy. Spread the love, not fear.

The problem with that view is that we are jealous because we have human weaknesses . . . but God does NOT. Therefore God cannot be jealous . . . just one of the many human weaknesses you believe God possesses.

I said YOU cannot change THE NATURE OF MAN, and I stick to it.

God does NOT hate despite the ancient ignorance that attributed such human weakness to Him. You can continue to discount the accumulated psychological knowledge about the origins of these human emotions and continue to believe in a weak human-like God supported by ancient ignorance all you want. But ignorance remains ignorance whether or not it is deliberate.

It is without thought and makes no distinctions between good or evil, right or wrong. It is entirely focused unthinkingly on our survival and the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. We have to discriminate for it and choose which drives to respond to and how.

I do no such thing and you know it, Finn. You believe in a jealous God. That makes your God a weak human-like God. As I said to saved33:

Enough is enough! Here . . . read your own words claiming God is jealous. I am tired of your dissembling and lies.

I am simply requesting that you would not present your own conclusions as my arguments. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently so, because now you are accusing me of lying about something.

Conversation over.
