Are you kidding me? Its NOW that "dog" is a friendly thing because people love dogs and people say "hey dawg", no, back then it was a HUGE INSULT, one of the worst things was to be called a dog or a pig.Where? Source please. But remember thousands of years ago people did not think language like that is so bad
Do you believe all people from other religions go to hell/or soul destruction?
Matthew 15:26Where? Source please. But remember thousands of years ago people did not think language like that is so bad
God can not kill the soul. periodBut if the soul can't be killed how can God kill the soul?
Most people identify themselves heavily (not heavenly) with egoAnd if you mean God does not kill the soul.. what did you mean with "He might kill you"? Kill you in what way?
Yes, dogs are considered unclean in Middle Eastern culture.Are you kidding me? Its NOW that "dog" is a friendly thing because people love dogs and people say "hey dawg", no, back then it was a HUGE INSULT, one of the worst things was to be called a dog or a pig.

Matthew 15:26
Jesus never preached to the Gentiles. It was Paul who did the most to spread it among Gentiles, after having his "vision" (he never met Jesus).
It's the same as how they go out of their way to excuse all the genocide in the Bible. That one is the most disturbing example of it.Yeah, I was totally offended by that part of the New Testament and what a jerk he was seemingly acting like, and how people try to present this false narrative of this really nice and loving guy, whereas the character described in the New Testament is totally acting like a huge jerk to almost everyone (I really dislike the character, even the Buddha is a big jerk in a lot of stories but people present a similar picture of Buddha as they do with Jesus, and totally ignore the actual described behaviors and statements), and if you're God or a God or whatever and can easily and effortlessly do some magical thing and help someone, why would you be such an annoying jerk about it and degrade people and put them down and make them beg or continue to beg when you can just easily heal them or help them in an instant or whatever, gosh!
I've shown that story and those behaviors in multiple quotes, and people are like totally blind to it, its really gross, its like no one even cares, they just want to stick to whatever or say "they must've deserved it" or whatever.
In the world many people worship more than one God. I think God do not care so much about that. Why? Because when people worship many gods they give thanks to the gods. So God may the thinking " They thought many gods have made this world, and gave thanks to the gods for it. That means they understood a source/sources was behind this world and worshiped it. So in reality they worshiped me but believed I was many gods. ...
(Deuteronomy 6:14, 15) . . .You must not follow after other gods, any gods of the peoples who are all around you, 15 for Jehovah your God who is in your midst is a God who requires exclusive devotion. Otherwise, the anger of Jehovah your God will blaze against you and he will annihilate you from the face of the earth.
(Deuteronomy 4:24) For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire, a God who requires exclusive devotion.
Jehovah says that he requires exclusive devotion. And that is not a bad thing. Think about it. Jehovah is the true God. He created all things. The gods the people of the world worship are not real. They cannot help them. And all those who worship them will become just like them:
Our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever he pleases.
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of human hands.
A mouth they have, but they cannot speak;
Eyes, but they cannot see;
Ears they have, but they cannot hear;
A nose, but they cannot smell;
Hands they have, but they cannot feel;
Feet, but they cannot walk;
They make no sound with their throat.
The people who make them will become just like them,
As will all those who trust in them.
-Psalm 115:3-8.
Jehovah definitely gives you a choice as to whether you will serve false gods or not. But he makes it quite clear that they cannot save you. And you will become like them.
I respect your thoughts on this matter. These are mine:
For all the peoples will walk, each in the name of its god,
But we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.
-Micah 4:5.
Because he plainly says he's there to preach to the Jews only. There's no stories of him preaching to Gentiles. He heals some who request it but never is said to try to spread his teachings among them. He was a Jew and he doesn't seem to have been trying to create a new religion. I think Jesus would be extremely shocked and appalled at Christianity, especially the godman stuff.How do you know Jesus never preached to the gentiles? Did you live 2020 years ago?
God can not kill the soul. period
Most people identify themselves heavily (not heavenly) with ego
So, the best gift of God will be to kill your attachment to your ego
He will also be shocked that you try to tell people he was a bad person. Jesus was not a bad person. He said loves your neigbor and enemy. He said be kind to everybody and he said many wise loving words. He was one of the most loving person on earth.Because he plainly says he's there to preach to the Jews only.

Not trying to detail your thread. Just something that stands out to me.
...and what about The Bhagavad Gita? The Qur'an? The Adi Granth? The Kitáb-i-Aqdas? The Agam Sutras? The Tripitaka? The Avesta? Why should we uncritically accept your holy book without question while rejecting all of the others?
Ah the false promises just keep rolling in.
Consider for how long the Hindu and Buddhist civilisations have been going on without being destroyed by non-manmade forces.
I am convinced that God won't get upset about such an issue at all, after those are His children, hence His responsibility. Was also a smart hint He gave in the Bible "thou shall not judge", hence God, being the best Teacher will set the perfect example, hence He will never judge anyone. He might kill you, but not judge you.
New In the world many people worship more than one God. I think God do not care so much about that. Why? Because when people worship many gods they give thanks to the gods.
I use words like "might", because we have not set a definition of God all agree on AND of course I don't know what God thinks/wants etc.Oh.. ok now i understood you I misunderstood what you meant. Im sorry
But how do you know God can't kill a soul? What if God actually can kill a soul?
