If God changed his mind

[ErGingerbreadMandude]

If i believed in Jesus Christ.Then i would definitely trust his judgment and kill and rape as many people as i can.
Not in that specific order tho that'd be just sick

This is too the Christians out there. If God suddenly and with absolute certainty it was him came and told all Christians you must steal,  rape, and murder and to not do so was a punishable sin what would you do?

I wouldn't do it. If God told me to do those things, then He wouldn't be the God I thought I believed in.

The God you believe in killed almost every living thing on the planet if the bible is to be believed, so why would that be such a unlikely order?

I would find out when the next AF get together was and carry out God's will.

Um wow. I hope that was just a really bad sarcastic joke.

This is the guy that started praying for a bunch of us to catch aids.

Let me fix it:

...If everything in the bible is to be taken literally.

In which case I'd also believe that eating pork was a sin, clothes made out of wool were immodest, earth is just a few thousand years old, and the universe was created in 7 days.

Is there a committee that decides which parts should be taken literally and which parts metaphorically?
Or are all Christians given permission to decide it for themselves?

I can only speak as a Catholic here. But the Catholic Church is silent on the interpretation of many bible passages, leaving it up to the individual to interpret it in a way they see fit, as long as it stays true to the faith and true to our beliefs about God and Jesus.

Some Catholics believe in the literal interpretation of Genesis, for example. But most do not. Neither is going against Church teaching.

I only said that because you seemed to take things quite literally in that other thread when you said that the process of the sperm meeting the egg should be sacred,and here you are saying that certain other parts don't have to be taken literally and after i tell you that God creating life must also be metaphorical,meaning he isn't the our creator,you're probably going to say that some other parts have to be taken literally.

Maybe the Church should decide which parts should be taken literally and which parts should be taken metaphorically,until then the default being taking things literally,the bible can be interpreted in a literal fashion.That's what i think.

Well for one thing, I never said God is not our creator. For another, IVF isn't even mentioned anywhere in the bible.

I don't think the Church needs to do that. As long as the overall message of the faith is understood, whether or not someone believes a man named Adam ate an apple, is just details.

Would you condone the mass killing of known and active Isis members in your community if that decision was left up to you?

Now what is the difference? Society identifies them as a threat, how long before society identifies certain ideals a 'threat'. One on the level as an active military combatant? All societies have done this in the past including here in America with the Indians. It all depends on what the society you live in says you must do to maintain your particular way of life.

You haven't turned on Christianity because the majority says (for now) is not ok.

To answer the speculation of my fellow brothers and sisters I was not jokeing, well maybe hunting the members of this site down specifically, but I am willing to follow God any where he leads. Why? Because I worship him and not an ideology or particular sect of religion.

That said, know God has not changed and calls us to love and forgive rather than rape and kill. 

On the other side of the coin, societies change all the time. People are killed and victimized by what pop culture says and thinks about them all the time. Sometimes wild swings about a given people can happen in a given life time. Look at the U.S.'s Relationship with Israel. We went from spear heading their restoration and preservation/salvation from genocide, to providing its primary enemy's with the means to wipe every Jew in Israel off the planet.

What do we get? Cheap oil, which will result of n more higher fuel taxes.

Just to clarify, as I am not sure I understand correctly. Are you saying that you were completely serious about raping and killing the atheist members of this board?

I guess you missed the bold bit.

Yeah, I guess I don't understand.
