catfish Wrote: James 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Looks like gibberish to me.
A true Christian is not concerned with whether they've prayed enough times that day, or if they have read enough scripture in one day, whether they are a true christian in anyone elses' eyes, or whether they've spoken the correct 'creed'. Catfish is saying (I believe) that true undefiled religion that glorifies god is pure unadulterated love. Defining it is not important to god, but to man.
There are two kinds of Christians (despite the 40k denominations). Ones like catfish, and ones like frodo. Personally if it came down to it, I'd put my life in the hands of catfish over frodo, any day.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
