This site is has a lot of posters that do nothing but behave like zoo monkeys throwing feces. They have lost ability to reason.

They think the Old Testament Lord as cruel. Yet, daily the quantity of people that go through incredible pain and horrific death dwarfs the amount of people that were under God’s sovereign directive to be eliminated. So, why is not today’s God mocked and ridiculed?

The mockers and accusers are nothing more than haters of God’s Word. Their way leads to eternal separation.

I let him know that even some of his fundamentalist cohorts have said that he needed to stop twisting their words as well. When a person does what he does, they are nothing less than a habitual liar, and we all know what happens to them, according to his doctrine.

"Everlasting torment is intolerable from a moral point of view because it makes God into a bloodthirsty monster who maintains an everlasting Auschwitz (a concentration camp) for victims whom he does not even allow to die."

Written by the late Clark Pinnock, an influential evangelical theologian.

Any other false accusations you want to take back?

What is it about you and your "tribe" always saying things, and then denying it along with fake accusations against people who point it out.
There is no such thing as everlasting or eternal torment, so we are not speaking about the same God.
I would say that it is you who makes him into a bloodthirsty monster, not those who know the truth.

I neither believe in, nor follow the Bible. I believe in and follow Christ, whom the Bible points to. The Bible cannot and did not save me. Christ did.

Of course from our vantage point it's obvious that the people who wrote those things used God to justify their own terrible human acts. Hence why so many of us turn away from the belief that the Bible is literally what God said and did. It simply isn't true, but it's a lesson not to do the same thing in our own age.

That was good, MQ.

The Christian foundation is Christ. Not the Bible.

If you think God is telling you to do something or to interpret a writing, be sure you filter it with Agape love, otherwise you will be listening to the wrong voice and following a voice that is not from God.

Good words, Rain.

Many claim that they receive “special knowledge” of godly things from a spirit that whispers them truths.

These groups of individuals mock the Lord continually calling Him vile names and accusing Him of being immoral

Anyone who can reason know they are poisonous. Do not let them lead you to destruction.

Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

None of us, not one of us have claimed special knowledge from God.



Most everything in God comes down to hearing His voice. That is why the doctrine that says that God does not speak today is so insidious and dangerous. It attacks the very heart of our walk with God. If God does not speak then faith, specific obedience, and His direct involvement in our lives all falls apart. Faith, the Bible says, comes from hearing, and hearing comes from someone speaking, and that Someone is God.

"God's sovereign directive to be eliminated."
