If you say that such a thing is silly it becomes obvious that you don't really trust God. And if you say that God isn't aking you to do that your're ignoring what you just read. If you believe that God created everything in the universe then why would you doubt what you've just read when you write about how you believe the stories in the Bible are true? In this instance you are getting the message directly from God right before your very own face. All you have to do is take the first step into the ocean. You will be just fine once you start walking. But if you don't do it then you lack faith and it's off to the lake of fire with you.(August 9, 2015 at 12:09 pm)Catholic_Lady Wrote: Yeah, I guess I don't understand.
I would do whatever God told me to do. Why? Because I do not worship a specific ideology/version of morality. I worship God. Example: if religion tells you to do xyz, and let's say God says do ABC, I will always do ABC.
The only bit I was joking about is targeting the members of this board. There are plenty of atheists and that live around me to take out first.
But again, God has told us to love Him first and then each other as ourselves. So with the same zeal and effort I follow that command. Not because it is intrinsically the right thing to do, but because I love and serve God. It is only "right" to love God first and love each other, because God said so.
So what if God changed His mind?
It is far more likely that the culture changes its mind about us per our historical record, than God changing his mind on how we are to act.
Remember, Jesus walked on water and he said that if a person has true faith thatthe person would be able to do even greater things that Jesus did himself. You won't need to take any food because God fed millions of Israelites with manna from heaven for 40 years in the desert. You won't need clothes or any special equipment because Jesus sent his disciples out to spread the Gospel without those things. The sea is calling your name. If you love God you will do this simple thing to prove it.
