What I believe is a separation from doctrine and adherence to what the bible says. Why? Because it makes sense. How? because if you follow the God of the bible the God of the bible promised to send the Holy Spirit to literally help and train you. God has literally done that. God literally sent an angel pointed me in the direction I was to go and I simply did my best to stay on path. because of this He rewarded my success with more responsibility and punished my unfaithfulness.
what does not make sense to you about the carrot and the stick?
It only makes any kind of sense if we believe in your god. And if we accept your account as reality. There are too many other variables for me to do that.
.....And here's the thing about intellectual honesty. To assert an even had not happen (Jesus life and dying on the cross) when it is the SINGLE most covered/recorded person in History make that record not only possible, but by any other historical standard concrete history! The only other man who even comes close is Julius ceasar and his historical records are 1/2 that of Christ. Even so there is no doubt or even question of ceasar. When in fact if you are to question Christ then no other historical figure of that time period can remain a fixture, meaning you must question everyone and everything known, because nothig has been documented more and has survived as long as what was said about Christ has.
So again if you are honest you need to retract that whole Christ was "impossible" bs. once you do the rest of your argument becomes moot.
This is pure exaggeration, if not outright lying.
