Questions and Statements about God...

[fiat_money]

Word, people have the habit of personifying their concept of "God":

Although the Bible refers to "God" as a spirit, the Bible also attributes anthropomorphic properties to "God" on multiple occasions.

Take Genesis 3:8 for example:This can not be simply written off as a metaphor, because not only did "God's" walking make a sound, Adam and Eve were able to hide from his face. This verse implies that "God" has some form of physical legs to facilitate upright locomotion (demonstrated by the noise of walking created), and "God" has a face with a limited field of vision (hence the attempt to hide from his view). Both of these are physical human characteristics. Not only physically ("...and by the breath of His mouth all their host."), but "God" is also related to humans as far as emotions go ("..for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God"), and as far as as actions go ("...and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.").

What this, along with the quote you posted, illustrates is the Bible's confliction as to whether "God" is some metaphysical spiritual being or a spirit in the form of a human with human characteristics. The conflict makes sense, because different humans often have differing opinions, so one cannot expect multiple humans to create such a large document that is in perfect agreement, unless the document is based on fact.

Referin' to God as 'Him' has always irked me a lil

And yh if this nigga's so perfect, and we're made in His image...Human beings = perfection?

And...Sendin' a guy to eternal damnation for followin' a different religion...A lil hypocritical that He'd send a guy to hell for not changin' religions but also send people to hell for convertin' from Christianity

1-5 ... I asked the same thing. A jealous God isn't "perfect" and burning people bc they don't do what you want is not "loving". I believe in God but once you really look at His personality via the Bible, God is too human for my tastes and I'm completely convinced that Man has implanted his own rules n regs in His name and changed the true essence of what He is and stands for.

I'm saying though, is GnS really the place for this shit? There is a nigga in RnR that is DYING to give you his interpretation of this type of shit. His name is DoYouWantToGoToHeaven. Thank me later.

1.Why does G-O-D want you to worship him? All joke aside what does he gain from us worshiping him? Why do we have to kiss his ass at least one day of the week? What does he gain by us doing this?

2.If god is perfect in every way and the epitome of good like the bible says why does he display jealousy? That's not a very positive trait that someone perfect should display.

3.What's up with this niggas ego? :

a. Hell, Fires of. Billions will suffer there, and the Defendant says he will do it to “display his wrath.” Defendant even threatens that “they will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb” (Revelation 14:10).

b. Intolerance of non-Christian religions. He calls them idolatry and says he will punish them.

c. Intolerance of numerous behaviors that people enjoy.

d. Insistence that people focus all attention on Defendant all the time. Intolerant of those who do otherwise.

e. Multiple unexpected outbursts of anger.

The quick answer to your question is this, if you create, you can destroy. GOD created the world and us and the universe. He is our master and we was created for his pleasure, not no one else. He makes the rules, we have to follow or else. If you really want to gain knowledge or understanding, holla at the Father and me

so god is a dictator?

 

[Swaggathief]

I prefer to look at him as a FATHER. My earthly father help create me in my mother's womb. Because I love them and they love me, I obeyed there rules and followed their authority. GOD is no different...he loves us and we should love him. For those that rebel against him or don't have a relationship with him, I guess they could look at him as a dictator just like someone may I have thought of my dad and mom as one.

read the book first then ask questions....fucking morons on this forum

 

[LurkdogAchilles]

the one thing that helped me out with questions about God is that he defies logic. a lot of it won't make sense, it would be impossible for us to fully understand God and his actions. not that you shouldn't try or have questions, but at some point you have to understand that you may not understand. faith

and like someone else said, a lot of people have screwed religion up, for their own interests or just for the sake of confusion. think relationship, not religion

No shots thrown and y'know your free to believe what you want....

But when the rhetoric of "somethings can't be explained" is used and justified, then nothing ever has to be explained.

I could blow up a kindergarten building tomorrow and when arrested say that a giant bunny spirit from Dayton, Ohio told me to do it and with that train of thought, who would anyone be to tell me different?

But would your mother and father set you on fire and torturously burn you for eternity for something you did? No, because they actually love you. And if God is our father, he's a fuckin deadbeat. When is he going to help his children that are starving in Africa or any other 3rd world country? Where the fuck was he when blacks were getting whipped, beat, and sold like livestock? If there is a God( I'm 99% sure there isn't) he's a bitch and I say fuck that nigga.
