Another law thread

[Drich]

Firstly, Drich, thank you for answering my question. I understand now why, from your perspective, this is an important issue to clarify.

Secondly, I think it is important for you to remember that what you see as judgement of God is actually judgement of your willingness to self-deprecate by accepting a doctrine that relegates you to a being with such character flaws that you must beg your God not to send you to a tortuous realm for all eternity. It is judgement of your acceptance of a doctrine that says you were created specifically to fall short of a standard for which you must attone yourself, and the acceptance that you were created with absolutely no sovereignty over your own existence.

Your almost there.

Everything you have said is true, now instead of resting on your laurals about what you know, now ask why. Why were we designed to fall short. What does falling short do for us?

Wow, your spelling really is bad! It's only three letters! FSM = Flying Spaghetti Monster

I thought I asnwered this one.

False analogy. There is no time given in the instructions.

Accurate analogy. The time we have been told to "wait" (at the libary) is the breif span of time we have been given in this life. some have been given to wait longer than others. It is the waiting at Mcdonalds (where we want to wait) instead of waiting where God told us to wait, that places us in a position to not expect to meet up with god when He comes.

God obviously doesn't want me to believe in him. If he did, he would just will it to happen. Literally no effort for someone omnipotent.

Your right not all have it in them to love God. That is what this life is about. To proove this to yourself, so when you face eternal seperation you will know why you have been seperated.

Wrong McDonalds, huh? Ask, seek, knock is little more than a vaguely worded metaphor. How are we supposed to know what it means literally? It is deliberatley vague so anyone can just say
you're doing it wrong" if someone doesn't "find" god.

Oh the Irony..

It is vague so as to seperate wheat from chaff. If "wheat" does not understand because something is too vague. "Wheat" Asks a question, he seeks in the bible and he knocks by repeating this process till his question is answered.

Christ does not tell us this as a form of check list theology. Christ outlines a pattern of behaivor that a normal human being goes through when he is without something he desperatly needs, but believes it can be sourced from a given location. Look at the parable again. Was the guy in the story looking for, God? Or just Bread for a guest?? It was sheer desperation and full knoweledge that what he needed could be obtained if he just put the effort in to get his neighbor out of bed.

A/S/K can be applied to anything out heart is set on. It is this setting our hearts on God that makes A/S/K the time and place to meet up with God.
