Not again! -- Encouragement Please

[pineapplebunnybounce]

Of course you'd encourage people to look at the bible alone.

When have I done this? or are you simply ignoring the majority of my post so you can play to a steriotype you are comfortable with? Because in your 'reality' this is what ALL Christian's do.

See if your ablity to reason is tied to your biased understanding of 'reality' (As just outlined above) then how is it God's doing that you have a hard time perceiving what is 'real' and what is not?

The vast majority of the problems you have with genesis is that the God depicted in the bible does not align with the picture of God you hold in your mind. In short you were never taught to worship the God of the bible. You were given a picture of God in your religion, and assumed it is correct. But, when you compared that religious picture of God to what is written in the bible, you found it to be in error.

Your problem is not with Genesis. It is with who you think God to be, and because you can not reconcile your personal understanding of God with the description of God found in the bible, you assume the bible is in error. If you took the time to take an honest look at the God of the bible and build your understanding of God off of the bible alone you would not find error nor contradiction.

But even if you disagree with my assessment, you did claim that god will be willing to give people deadly diseases just to prove a point.

where exactly?

I'm afraid that's too immoral and distasteful for us, as I doubt many on this forum would willingly infect someone with AIDS just to prove a point.

Have we not been over the defination of 'morality' yet?

I'm really disgusted that there is a human being who would wish AIDS or deadly disease on someone just to prove a point. Fuck you and fuck your god.

Not wish, Pray for it upon receiving your blessing to do so. And, it does not have to be just AIDS It could be a stroke, or cancer or anything else that it might take to save your soul. God knows how to break your pride just right, in order for you to know without doubt or hesitation that He not only exists, but you can see and hear Him working in your life.

Again I point back to what Christ said on John 12:
23 Jesus said to them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to receive his glory. 24 It is a fact that a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die before it can grow and produce much more wheat. If it never dies, it will never be more than a single seed. 25 Whoever loves the life they have now will lose it. But whoever is willing to give up their life in this world will keep it. They will have eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me. My servants must be with me everywhere I am. My Father will give honor to anyone who serves me.

I am not praying for your death and subsequent judgement. I will be praying that you be subject to whatever it takes to provide you with eternal life. For some this could mean a winning lottery ticket, but to the hard hearted this usally means to be broken Spiritually which usally follows a physical break in one's health. Again whatever it takes is the key here. Not nessarily your death.

Not interested in your brand of morality nor am I interested in talking to someone about reality when they don't know the difference between perception and reality. Again, buy a dictionary.
