Why are some people too ugly for god?

[Darkstar]

The 'blemishes' mentioned were deblitating physical deformities. God estsablished That only the "Set Apart" was worthy to be used in the service of God. The need to be Set apart is the reason 'we' need a full understanding of the many ways we can be considered 'blemished.'

The Israelites wer incapable of understanding morality without a reference to physical deformity.

If one looks down the Path God sets before them, then 'Clear reasons' abound. If one looks down the path he set for himself to live apart from God then the 'clear reasons' God offers is taken away, allowing one to build on his own version of righteousness.

So basically, it is exactly what I said. If you take god's word for it, then you can delude yourself into thinking it makes sense.

Please remind me of when go established that he was trustworthy. Was it when he punished Adam and Eve for a 'crime' that he made it impossible for them not to commit, or when he drowned almost every living thing on earth?

This is were it get deeper. If yu want to go into detail start another thread.

I will do that.
EDIT: Thread created.

and that it is not reqiured to have any bearing on actual morality.

Finally one of you is getting it!

Hmmm, mabe because we aren't god we have fallen short of his 'glory'? Or maybe because he made us defective...

Actually read Genesis again we were created perfectly, we chose to be 'defective.'[/quote]
God didn't give us any morals. How is that not a defect?

Why would an all-powerful god need to create a human/god son and have him killed off in order to let people into heaven when he could just do so by snapping his fingers (or just thinking it, even)?

Before i continue and so we are clear did I dodge the OP? ford model question or not?

It seems that you have given some sort of answer for pretty much all of the question. You failed to answer the main point (about why the fire mistake was so grave) previously, but have added an (albiet unsatisfactory) answer here. It basically comes down to "is god perfectly moral or not"? (hint: It starts with an 'n'. Explicit hint: No)
