Well, athrok, I formally give up. I tried to help you. I assume your goal was to try and change the minds of someone here, about something. You're never going to succeed while you just project your assumptions onto people rather than asking them what they actually believe, and why.
Oh, I dunno...maybe it's because of the lack of accurately used quotes from the Bible in your posts.
Or the apparent mis-characterizations about God, His Church and theology in general that result from ignorance about him.
So, read it again, maybe with a good commentary this time, and try to find a good book on theology. Mere Christianity was written by one of your countrymen, and it's a pretty good starting point. Give it a go if you haven't already.
