Hey-sus... help me.
WHERE DO YOU SEE DISINTEREST AND SELFISHNESS IN GOD Where are you estimating God is showing disinterest and selfishness given what you quoted in scripture.
I'm not estimating that God is showing disinterest, for a start. In the scriptures quoted, God is clearly showing an interest - this is part of what prevents God from being altruistic. In order for him to be so, he would have to show disinterest (from the definition you quoted)
I think a fair point is that 'selfless' and 'selfish' are not necessarily opposites. That God is not selfless is shown by his requirements that human beings do and believe certain things. This doesn't make God necessarily selfish, but he does indicate a certain level of self-interest which - again - precludes his being altruistic according to the definition you quoted.

How is it 'self interest' if it is the truth? Is expecting people to seek and follow the truth selfish? While helping people on a global scale such as God does, is it wrong to expect people to act and understand who and how God works if for no other reason than to be counter productive to what it is God is doing?
