What is so evil about worshipping idols? Sacrificing children? Like what God told Abraham? Made war? Thats what God demanded the Hebrews did.
Ouch. Burn.
As in astute and cutting point well made, I'm not like threatening you with hell or Nuffin.
This is where I have a hard time reconciling the God of my experience with the God of the bible.
Quote: e. If we believe in him we have eternal life. If we don't we have eternal death. His love is shown by his sacrifice for us, which was for us all. We can accept it or not.
This is fairly standard doctrine. But it reduces salvation to a question of an intelligence test (from Gods perspective). He scatters clues, most of them in ancient scrolls, the same MO used by all the FALSE religions. They are distributed unevenly, so you have access to more or less depending on when you were born. He gives a few really big, unequivocal, undeniable miracles (like the resurrection and ascension) but nothing since. Then he sits back and watches us flail around trying to decide if events which took place 2000 years ago were legit or not. If you believe they were, pass to heaven. If not, go directly to hell, do not pass go, do not collect £200.
Makes no sense. I mean, it's not fair. To make it a choice as to whether to follow God on merit, surely he would need to give everyone clear evidence that he existed first, THEN make a choice. Not this cosmic peekaboo Bullshit. If massive and obvious manifestations of his presence worked in E OT, Why not do them now?! The usual argument is that this would interfere with free will, but that never seemed to be a problem in the bible. When did God turn shy?

Through strength, I gain power.

Through victory, my chains are broken."
