Ryan Wrote:What you said was "God is unchanging and thus is the perfect standard". You're speaking that his consistency is what defines his perfection.
I qualified who God is before that and, with Him being unchanging sets up the perfect standard for man. Why do you constantly leave out things I say, is it just to have something to say even though it's not relevant.
GC Wrote:His righteousness is what will determine the punishment nonbeliever will be judged by, sounds pretty important to me.
Ryan Wrote:The same way Stalin's "righteousness" is what determined who his victims were. "Righteousness" in this context would be more accurately replaced with "arbitrary whim".
How, I mean how can you possibly mention Stalin as righteous, that's crazy dude. There are no victims with God, His judgement is completely just.
GC Wrote:Times have changed and humans have change many things and continue to do so. Homosexuality have been in and out during thousands of years of human history, according to man. God however has never changed on this point. Encase you do not know the Greeks and Romans both accepted homosexuality in past history and they are now just that, history.
GC Wrote:I've read things I did not understand either, not the scriptures though, so do not feel bad about not understanding scripture where it says, the God of the past is still God today and will be tomorrow. The OT is about the need of Christ and His coming as the Messiah.
Ryan Wrote:You're right, I do lack the ability to read a book which has many examples of God changing and come away convinced there are none. That's a level of cognitive dissonance far beyond my capacity to achieve.
Before you said you implied you had a good understanding of the Bible, but now you don't, which is it? The problem with your cognitive reasoning is one thing, you read the Bible with an intended bias.
GC Wrote:You're right God expressed regret in making man, yet He left us here
Ryan Wrote:That's funny, I thought he murdered everybody in the world except for one ass-kisser and his family.
Nothing funny about that much evil in the world. By the way we're still here, He left this family to continue the human race, they were the only believers left. God judges evil and will do something about it.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
