He has, on many occasions, bitched about all the ways his god is different from theirs. The only thing his god represents is his own inadequacy, and the basket of insecurities that go with that.My God is different in that nothing stands between you and eternal life except the baggage you put in your own way. Everyone else demands you swear allegiance to a church or religion.. My God/God of the bible works with you directly, everyone else requires you to go through a priest or elder of some kind. MY god/God of the bible is exceptionally easy to find just got to be willing to deal with wind and rain on occasion while other life their whole lives and get nothing. What's more My God promises direct one on one contact not through me or anyone else but it will be you and him alone. as the bible say you do not need a teacher as the same holy Spirit who wrote the bible will then find a home in you. Sound to me like he's a tyrant. Granted He will not be manipulated by the hippy bs church's are plagued with, nor will he be bound by foolish paradox as the god of man's doctrine is bound so then that means he does not acknoweledge or pay respects to people who use that BS to try and impact or influence the plan or direction of the God of the bible. which in turn means his followers do not have to bend the knee at the P/C garbage so many of you default to in order to try and put the 'reigns on morality' onto God. Remembermorality is man's standard of living God is about righteousness and notthe corruption that in inhearent with man's morality.
Quote:This isn;t to say that you;re going to get a more satisfying answer from a mainstream christian if one showed up to share, but consider the nature of the question you;ve asked. You;re looking for dry consistency in a composite mythology.why is that? because we are all different and on different levels of understanding. there is no demand that we reach a bar of understanding only that we do our best with the gifts and limitations we have been given. So you may ask X to someone new in the faith and he may say 123. then ask the sam "X" to some one a few years in and you may get 345 or 678 then you may ask someone who has the insight of the Holy Spirit and you get 10 11 and 12 for an answer. So which one is right?
All and none. all are right given their understand none are right if others do not understand it. it about honoring what you have been given to understand. there are no hard lines in Christianity any more. since Christ came it has been about removing the solid rules and put in place a stanard of doing your best.
