So if someone disagrees with you they are demonic and irrational. I think you are the one who needs to look into the mirror and think deeply about who you are.
No. But some responses are obviously quite irrational and dark.
You have so much hatred for science.
I like real knowledge and the good science that is real.
Science is our best method of solving problems without bias or prejudice.
Sure, like in Hiroshima. No prejudice. Men women and children and animals and crops etc.
Science is not a threat to your faith unless your faith is really weak.
?
How would some demented con job be a threat to faith unless people had no faith and believed the nonsense? Truth is the thread to false science. You have it backward.
You quote scripture like you have the power of God in your hand.
Scripture is alive and does have the power of God.
You don't know what God thinks.
1Co 2:16 - For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
This is not true. What is evil is an opinion.
If good and evil were just an opinion then good and evil does not exist. Gong!
My faith is stronger than yours. My faith is in an omnipotent God of unconditional love.
Does that God allow any wickedness without stepping in?
My God loves and saves everyone with no conditions.
So He does not exist then. OK. Obviously all are not saved.
As if my wife would ever allow me to have a concubine.
I guess we should be thankful she allows you to post!? Keep us updated on what you are allowed to do.
Don't you find it a little strange if the Bible were the absolute truth and word of God that having a concubine would be morally okay?
No.
The ending of Psalm 137 is often omitted from readings in church:
“Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” (Psalm 137:9)
Words of people so far gone and in sin that God had to allow them to be taken captive. No news there.
“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18)
What would you suggest Wal mart employees or slaves in Paul's society should have done, kill people?
What is moral and what is not moral is in the eye of the beholder. In my World, the way to salvation is not by joining Jesus's fan club or saying magic words. Being a fan of Jesus, as you seem to be, means nothing. Saying magic words means nothing. The way to salvation is by getting forgiveness from the people you have sinned against.
If people could save me that might be good advice. Too bad they are sinners too and can't save themselves or anyone else.
If you want justice you have to get it from our secular court of law.
I would question whether all decisions in court systems are just.
As I've said God is perfect, whole, complete, and without any needs or desires.
The great eunuch in the sky with no real opinions or spine. OK.
God has no reason, cause, or purpose to be involved in the affairs of men.
Jesus had a purpose to be involved in our world, to save us.
If you cause other people to suffer you will suffer here and now in equal proportion.
If we reaped all that we sowed and got what we deserved we would all be doomed.
Absolute authority comes from within.
No. That would be absolute darkness.
It takes courage to stand up and have confidence in thinking for yourself on such matters of opinion about God.
Flailing around in the dark does not so much take courage as it does pride and ignorance.
For you, however, you put all your trust in other people's opinions. You acquiesce to what everyone tells you what is right and what is wrong. You are a knee bender. It takes strength of conviction to have real faith God and stand up.
There are two choices. Bend to God or gent bent out of shape. Scripture is not people's opinions. Pot, meet kettle.
Sin causes nothing. We act badly because we have needs and desires.
Nonsense. It is not a sin to eat or have sex or walk or etc. It is not a sin to need something.
God did not create us this way. But you judge people and society as if God created people without any imperfections.
I judge squat. God judges. The reason God stepped in and acted in some cases with nations is not that they were imperfect. The reason was that they had rejected Him and His ways and spirit and life and were in outright rebellion. They had become dangerous to mankind and the plan for salvation.
When you label someone as a demon or call them evil this is not an expression of love.
When people blaspheme God and His people and word one could call that demonic.
