He demands murder which makes him guilty by accomplice, unless you defend that assassination contracts are legal binding
He cannot demand murder. Like I said, he can only kill.
Actually there is no difference between your god and allah.. and that element of forgiveness its all over in quran.
Allah is completely different to God.
Islam is just a little bit brutal version of christianity.
Islam is Christianity without the logical conclusion. It's a primitive religion
And what about buddhism?? Actually its way better than both islam and christianity.
Buddhism, like most religions, has something to offer, but again, lacks logical coherence, and is primitive.
anyway tell me, according to bible what happens if I suicide? or what happens if I die as an atheist?
Am I going to hell for eternity or not?
What does that mean do you think? Taking your own life is an act of anti life, and is therefore also anti God. If you die rebelling against life, then that's how you end. Who's to know how that pans out factoring in God? Heaven and Hell are also right here and right now. You either choose life or you don't.
and you guys keep telling that bible is not literal. how do you know that? Is there a manual or something tells you not to take bible literally we dont know about?
No manual, yet all Christians agree. It comes from following the information presented. Every point is dealt with countless times on the interwebs for your inspection. there's no excuse for not working it out for yourself.
if god was just, being good should get you favour. at least shouldn't get you sorrow..
You're disagreeing with yourself. Doing good things makes no difference to how you should be treated. Goodness is it's own reward, and your reward is "in heaven" ...or in the realm of your spiritual health. That is the reward. Material gain is no gain spiritually.
No I don't think the bible encourages copycat genocide. Like I said, only God knows absolutely and is therefore the only one equipped to judge. People commit atrocities, and have done throughout history. It doesn't matter if the stories are true or not, what matters most is the point they're trying to get across.
You need to get the just and unjust killing idea. Men cannot torture because they aren't privvy to all of the information, and can never be.

Well it's very clear what laws Jesus reinterpreted. And those interpretations are all agreed upon. god didn't stop being just in the NT. Jesus demonstrated that. This is no sleigh ride. Ever.

@ superstarr
you said was that it isn't really unforgivable if you think about it. So what you're telling me, is that God is lieing.
No, God isn't lying. If you study the passage, you'll discover that the cliche "unforgivable sin" is not actually unforgivable. What is written is often mistakenly interpreted.
2. Do you want a list of people God wants to murder? Either way, killing or murdering, it's still taking someone's life forcefully.
-people working on the sabbath
-being Gay
-children or sons cursing theirparents
-those who aren't a virgin in their wedding night
The list goes on and on like the energizer bunny.

3. Matthew 5:18 "For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished" here, he mentions the OT.
Jesus talks about Gods law, and not man's law.

Quote:Not all people do bad things, and the bible is clearly authored to have a positive message.how do you know that? that book is clearly suitable to be abused. why do they wrote it like that than?
and you guys keep telling that bible is not literal. how do you know that? Is there a manual or something tells you not to take bible literally we dont know about?

Quote:The point is that being good doesn't get you favour.I agree
Quote:Only God is just. No one else can know enough to be.I dont agree.

Quote:The point of the story is that people were living unhealthily and the solution of reversing that was by force. By using forgiveness in the form of Christ this is unnecessary. The detail is an exciting story using mass destruction and genocide... it's a story telling mechanism.dont you think bible encourages people to use mass destruction? by the way that story, noahs ark is taken from sumerian lore. and probably an exaggerated version of a flood which was really happened. Again who tells you to take that stories as metaphors?
No I don't think the bible encourages copycat genocide. Like I said, only God knows absolutely and is therefore the only one equipped to judge. People commit atrocities, and have done throughout history. It doesn't matter if the stories are true or not, what matters most is the point they're trying to get across.
Quote:2. Yes God kills, but never murders. This is the distinction. Killing isn't wrong, murder is.first of all thats a sick idea. and second then tell me if killing isnt wrong what about torturing? It is what happens in hell is it not?
You need to get the just and unjust killing idea. Men cannot torture because they aren't privvy to all of the information, and can never be.
