God commands child sacrifice (not Isaac story)

[Drich]

Ok then if this is not our finality then(FOR EXAMPLE ONLY) blow your own head off with a shotgun. I wouldn't recomend that though. And I certainly wont do that to myself.

Just because I have made a desision to be with God for eternity, does not mean my responsiablity in this life is over. For if all who accepted Christ died shortly there after who would be left to answer questions and provide biblical clarity? Without 'us' all that would remain of Christianity is your current understanding of it. Which isn't enough to do anyone much Good.

I have been tasked to share what God has given me, so that others may also come to know God. I have stared down the face of death or at least enough to know that if when it is my time then I will welcome my fate. Granted no one wants to die badly, but if it is my lot to do so then i will accept what I am tasked to complete.

You are sucked into the promise of a fictional utopia. I hate to tell you that the meme of "afterlife" was around way before your god myth was invented, and other beleivers such as Muslims and Hindus and Shintoists have their versions too.

Actually no. Islam did not start till around 610 AD, Shintoist got their start 130 years after the muslims, and Hindus we are reborn into this life.
It may sound cliche but what The God of the bible offers to Christians is unique in the time it was promised.

Life after you die will be just like it was before you were born. The universe was around prior to your birth and it will have no record of you or I after our species goes extinct and our planet dies and our sun dies. I am sorry if that reality is not sexy enough for you, but that is the reality. We are finite, not infinite and we will never be infiinite.There are no gods and no afterlife for us. There are merely people who throughout our species evoltion make up gods and fictional utopias to avoid this hard fact.

we will see. If you are right then no worries for anyone.

They have to wait to go to eternal paradise. Why did he make them wait when he gave everyone else around them a free pass?

If all returned then who would be left to bring the rest of the flock? Who would attend to you good people, or your counterparts from that time till this? Who would see to all of the other potential converts who have not yet heard of Christ?

"Thou shall not kill" Hamlet says something about it in the Shakespearean play of the same name.

The command is "you shall not Murder." Now all you need is a command or passage identifying suicide as Murder, and you have an arguement. if you can't find one you will still have shakespear, however i do not believe that shakespear counts as canocial scripture.

So you admit that the church is just trying to control us?

Define 'Church."

With so many interpretations of the bible being thrown around, only one can be right if the bible is infalliable. I'm not talking so much about translations as I am the author's original intent. It may have been self-evident at the time, but looking back on it 2000+ years later, there are debates over how to properly interpret certain passages.

That's just it. Our understanding and identification of the infalliable word of God is not the key to our salvation. the bible is just a tool, and like any tool it can be used to build, or tear down. If you look to worship the pure word of god then you have completely missed understoof the content of the bible you have been reading. For only God is worthy of our worship not some book he has left for us.
