In what way do you think this is different from your last non-explanation?

Quote:I do, and be patient, every journey begins with the first step.
Judging by the above I don't think that you do....and if we're going to go on any journeys you are going to have to at least take a single step....yes.

Quote:If you have a serious question then ask.
I already did. Do you have a serious answer?

Quote:
Maybe this is why God requires such a steep price for sin.
I don't think you understand Drich. It's a price I'm unwilling to pay. I will not reach into my pocket and pull out a handful of someone elses blood to excuse my own inequities..whatever they may be. I don't care how pretty the gardens on the other side of the gate are..I refuse to pay the price that the gatekeeper is said to demand.

Quote:So that 'we' can have a very good understanding of what type of deity he is.
That's precisely the problem....this price does lead me to an opinion of what you want this diety to be..of what this diety is said to be. It's horrid on the face of it...but if it's not even possible to explain how it works it becomes even more disgusting. A shell game where the cards are replaced with corpses.

Quote:If he has indeed given a will apart from his own then someone somewhere will not agree or like Him or what He does.
And someone somewhere may just have the most compelling reasons imaginable for that disagreement. That doesn't leave god in any position of authority Drich.

Quote:Again maybe things like the need for a blood sacerfice (and the fact that He provided it for you on your behalf) are to help seperate the sheep from the goats.
Maybe those who would accept it are the goats? There is no fact in your statement btw Drich, what a pathetic attempt.

Quote:Not everyone wants to be with God,
Clearly.

Quote: and if you can figure out that you do not want, or if you feel that their should not be a need for this sort of thing then turn towards eternity in full confidence that God will not Make you serve Him. that He will keep you seperated from him and everything you believe to be unjust about Him.
Everything eh? I don't think you'll let him do that...nor do I think he is ever said to make the claim that he's willing to do that himself.

Quote:I can offer only what your question or comment requires me to offer. You will ultimatly judge it worthy or dismiss it.
My questions and comments require nothing. But you are here to explain these things aren't you? This is your work here.....and you clearly feel at least marginally confident in your abilities to perform what you came here to do. I'll consider your explanation on it's merits.....if you ever get around to forming one.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
