The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[Redbeard The Pink]

is killing equivalent to murder?

Yes.

when a person is put to death by the justice system because of his/her crimes against humanity is that murder or justice?

That would be murder.

What is the just punishment for a murderer? 

Justice, like morality, is a human concept that is subjective to the scenario, culture, etc. There is no objectively "just" punishment for murder, though incarceration is certainly more human than the death penalty and does more or less the same job.

God explicitly says that murder it wrong,

Yeah, and then he orders the Israelites to kill other nations in droves. That never struck you as odd?

rape is wrong

Technically the Bible doesn't say that.

therefor genocide is wrong.

Not only does that logic not follow, but religiously-motivated genocide is condoned and celebrated in the Bible, especially the Old Testament.

 He also says to that he does treat a person unfairly based on race, sex, class et cetera.

Wow...language is really starting to fail you, isn't it?


I think I understand what your'e saying, and no, the Bible is anything but an egalitarian document. It condones the purchase and use of slaves from foreign nations, it treats women as property rather than people, and it places both slaves and women in a class that is distinctly below and submissive to free, Jewish men. That is not a message of classless equality.

God own everything and person and the only reason anyone of use exist it because of His will.

Prove it.

He is so merciful and slow to anger He will allow you to speak lies about him and hasn't taken you out.

Maybe that's because he doesn't exist.

  He allowed me to blaspheme his name and has forgiven me. 

Maybe that's because he doesn't exist.

Also it takes more power and self-control to do what is necessary and right no matter your feelings on the matter.

Self control? You mean like when he allegedly raged out and destroyed virtually every living thing on Earth?

To have all power doesn't mean you use it in every situation. If you have ever observed a wise person who is full of knowledge they are not always letting everyone know how much they know. He set aside what He could do, which would be wiping all human kind out because we are all corrupt in our thinking and actions.

He set aside the wiping out of humanity? How so? One of his first acts as Gaud was to nearly annihilate life on Earth in a global flood. That's hardly setting aside the wiping out of humanity.

In order to redeem people from every nation, language, class, and tongue. So, that people may understand who He is and how wonderful and loving He was to step off his throne. To make himself of no reputation so that He may live a life like ours and die a death that we deserve. God is not evil but one that is both just and merciful. Lies about Him are of no help to the one who rejects Him. They will not aid them when judgement comes but it takes humility to see God for who He truly is. He is both amazing and good and will send his wrath against those who cling to their evil ways.

Seeing Gaud takes imagination, not humility.
