Are Creationists the Great Pretenders?

You have no way of knowing that anything recorded is anything that Jesus did or did not say. The authors of the Gospels were not first-hand eyewitnesses.
Yes, some were. He made a way to know and promised to get His words to us just right.

You conveniently ignore the OT when it is in your own interest. That's very dishonest of you. Is that a Christian thing - dishonesty as a defense mechanism?
False. I explained that Jesus is not like you think by your interpreting the OT without using the revealed Person of Jesus!

No. The author of Luke says that he wasn't. The author of Mark appeared to be a follower of Peter. The author of Matthew copied quite a bit from Mark. Not an eyewitness either. And the last Gospel written was written by followers, that means more than one author, or John.

Tough. You don't really know.

Right, so man got so wicked, and murderous and human sacrificing, and perverted, and demonic and dangerous, that in order to have man be able to last long enough for Salvation to come one day, He had to save just a few good folks. Because He did, He later was able to have a nation among wicked nations set up to allow Jesus to enter the world with His plan for all men.

You see, the horror would be to make man without a plan for salvation. The horror would be to have allowed wickedness to triumph and result in the perdition of man. Instead, He guided a people through history, so that Salvation could come. If that plan were allowed to have been foiled by the rampant wickedness of men, that would be the horror. Instead, He came down Personally to suffer horribly for us, and show His real love and plan. Your idea of morals frankly can take a hike.
That was after killing off 99.9% of humans on the planet didn't work. That's some loving behavior right there. o_O

Your idea of morality makes me sick to my stomach.

Let's stay on topic. Your Jesus/God committed genocide and endorsed rape.
Your Jesus/God/Holy Ghost horrifically killed 99.9+% of humans and, in defense, you use the term cull.

You see, the horror would be to make man without a plan for salvation. The horror would be to have allowed wickedness to triumph and result in the perdition of man.
God's plan for salvation:
  • Have Adam & Eve eat the forbidden fruit.
  • Blame Adam & Eve.
  • Curse all mankind.
  • Horrifically kill almost all of mankind (including innocents and those still in the womb)

That is horrible wickedness.

Instead, He guided a people through history, so that Salvation could come. If that plan were allowed to have been foiled by the rampant wickedness of men, that would be the horror.

What guidance? Other than perpetuating sorties about God's wrath, Noah and sons provided no guidance.




Instead, He came down Personally to suffer horribly for us, and show His real love and plan.

SUFFER HORRIBLY?

Allegedly your God is eternal. Jesus' stay on the cross is less than the blink of an eye in God's eternal life.

Allegedly your God is omnipotent. Jesus' pain on the cross is less than the pain of cutting a toenail.

The people who suffered horribly are the ones who your God/Jesus buried alive in mudslides.

You say that but you cannot name any nor show how they could have been eyewitnesses. Do you really think we should take your word for it? Silly boy.

Nonsense. You have explained nothing! You have ducked and dodged my comments and the comments of many others.

  1. You believe Jesus is God.
  2. You believe God is eternal.

If both the above are correct, then Jesus/God caused the Great Flood.

If either is false, please explain.
