Anger? I'm not angry. I was just trying to help you hear what I said by making it obvious.

And others get angry? Why do you try to make me responsible for how someone else perceives and feels? But maybe that's just a deeply ingrained habit from trying to make others believe in your god and your particular beliefs about it. "Evangelism". "The new commission". Ya know?

I think you do but don't want to say it - "yes, you are correct"
Only mods can use red. Be forewarned.

The God I know is not worried about being accepted by others. I have never "sold" the idea of the Go I know as being the only answer.

You really really really need a chill and reflect on this hate you have for the unknown...

I hear what you say..and I respond that God dopes NOT inflict suffering and agony--ONLY MAN DOES..

Dear z,
Have you ever actually read the bible? Revelation 14:11,"And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."


Hosea 5:14,"For I will be like a lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away".

Dear 2ndPillar zealot,


Not sure what thread it is but I shared my experience about reading the biblical myths...

Between 1982 and 1992 I read cover to cover somewhere between 8--12 times a YEAR...

HOSEA 5:14 is the god created by men...it is NOT the God I know...

Micah 6:8 is the GOD I KNOW----the GOD I know does not FEAR, is not JEALOUS nor does the GOD I know THREATEN to "tear to pieces" those who do not bow down a kiss the ground (aka arse) of some vengeful entity..



So my question is--HAVE YOU EVER LISTENED TO THE WORDS OF CHRIST?

THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS


"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10

The bible is in harmony--there are some errors in trinity translations, but I read the bible that corrected those errors-The New world translation. Men mistranslating causes contradiction.

Nonsense. The Bible is riddled with contradictions and inconsistencies. The refusal to apply God's standard of truth - the Holy Spirit of agape love (Who IS God)- to everything in the Bible is what produces the confusions and corruptions of Christ's Gospel in the anti-Christ apostate majority in these latter days as prophesied.

You mean your standard of truth.

Don't confuse your own ego with God. I know it's often hard for self-appointed religious leaders to make that distinction.

No, Freak, it is NOT my standard. It is Christ's unambiguous standard demonstrated under the most egregious circumstances - "No Greater love . . ." God IS agape love so anything that is NOT compatible with the Holy Spirit of agape love is NOT from God or Jesus.
