Why is that sin the only unforgivable one, and why isn’t it forgivable? I have heard of hell described by Christians as a “self-imposed exile.” If I were to die tomorrow and realize I was wrong, and I begged god for forgiveness but he refused, how could my exile be considered self-imposed? It’s not self-imposed if god is actively preventing me from being with him.Dear Lady,
Does god love the folks in hell? If he does, and they are in agony for being separated from him, what logical or moral reason is there for god to keep them ostracized? That sounds like the opposite of a forgiving god. It sounds to me like someone who holds grudges.
Christians, would you do this to your own children? If your child ran away, and came back a month later, filthy and in tears, saying, “mommy/daddy I miss you so much. I’m so alone and afraid. I’m sorry I left; I just want to come home and cuddle with you on the couch,” would you tell them it’s ‘too late’, and shut the door in their face for good? Why or why not?
Why is being loved back the most important thing to god; even more important than how we treat each other during life? Even more important than how his chosen priesthood treat their children?
In spite of what Xtianity says, God does not "punish" anyone. God merely blesses the one's who are His. He also disciplines them in good measure. He does not even know the ones who are not His. He questions, "When did I know you?"(not, "I never"--as it is translated).
God does not reject anyone who goes to Him. He says, "I will in no ways cast out". He has no knowledge of anyone who does not go to Him. Why would He? Those people are subjected to nature(she HATES chaos and will deal with it and she is not God!), the world system, it's politics and it's hate.
I did not tell you that God is omniscience and neither does the Scripture. That is just Xtianity bullshit! But, His intention is to glorify us as clearly stated in Romans 8. This glorification of us makes Him look good so we might be proper living witnesses and testimonies of God's glory. He promised us a zOE-life beyond measure.
Most unfortunately, the Xtians just don't get that so they superimpose a lifestyle on everyone and call it "holy", based on self and theology and believe that sacrifice and suffering is everything as that is all they know how to do. And that's all they can prove because they SUCK at God's promised zOE-life and that more abundant!. They DO NOT follow God because they are corrupted by an erroneous theological mindset of futility convinced that their sacrifice and suffering, somehow, glorify God--which is ridiculous! Whereas, the Scriptures teach of being a glorious gift to everyone because that is how God intends to build us.
Sorry, there are not so many eyes that hear nor, ears that see.
Love is best when it is reciprocated--is it not? I LOVE you and I want some reciprocation DAMEIT!
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
