Apologies in advance if I'm repeating what has already been said by others. I have fallen behind in this thread.
Does Yahweh make the rules or not? Is Yahweh all powerful or not?
Quote:You are applying a human standard to a divine situation.So much for absolute standards of morality.
Quote:Yet God does punish while people are on earth so that they will come to repentance. Sadly too many humans have added in their own ideas distorting what just punishment really is.Or maybe we don't assume a divine hand in events that have a natural explanation (see Occam's Razor).
Quote:Also, judgement day is no surprise. The Book of Revelation has told everyone it is coming thus it is up to people to make the changes prior to dying.And the Norse religion has told us about Ragnorak. When you understand why that has no meaning for you, you understand why Revelation has no meaning for us.
Quote:Your chance to rehabilitate is done while you are alive NOT after you have died and realize that God exists.Why?
Quote:The key is not how good a life you lived, it is the mere fact that you you rejected Jesus as your Savior.You just repeated what I wrote in reason #4.
Quote:So you are rejecting God's way of salvation because someone else paid for your crimes?I'm saying it is an immoral system of justice. If you agree, as you did with reason #4, then you have no problem serving an immoral god. What does that say about your own morality?
Quote:There are ways to tell which one is correct,You keep agreeing with me. Yet you serve this god?
Quote:Who said life is a test?This one often comes from Muslim apologists. They believe in Hell too.
Quote:According to the Bible--...That means nothing to me just like what is written in the Koran or other holy books of other religions mean nothing to you.
Quote:Their work is to deceive as many people as they can before time runs out in that way they hurt God by making Him destroy and reject the very souls He created and loves.So Satan can "make" Yahweh do things that would be painful to Yahweh? Things Yahweh doesn't want to do?
Does Yahweh make the rules or not? Is Yahweh all powerful or not?
Quote:God does NOT hideReally? Where can I find Yahweh then?
Quote:God is the same God in both the Old and NEw testaments and HE is the same God today.Have you read the OT? Yahweh gives a speech to the entire nation of Judea (Judges 1:1). Yahweh has lunch with Abraham and wrestles with Jacob. He spoke to Moses face to face as friends do. There was nothing mysterious or distant in this god. Such supernatural upheaval seems to be long gone in this universe.
