So after that point Yahweh became irrelevant on moral issues. His option now is to either grant eternal life or to toss us into the lake of fire. And if you don't want to live forever he can't control you. No matter what happens to you it has already happened to countless other people. It's not like you're going to end up in a chair revolving around Saturn in one of its rings.(May 22, 2018 at 1:00 pm)Drich Wrote: We don't all belong to God. We are not all seeds of God.
Mat 13:
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
Can't god overpower this enemy and put morality in all of us? Why is he letting someone mess with his creation?
The parable seems to suggest God has been outwitted/circumnavigated.
