The mythologies are vivid and the amount of mythical concepts are amazing. It is very similar to the Lord of the Rings trilogy which is not surprising considering Tolkien was a Catholic.
I love mythology and the abilities it has in the realm of fantasy. Am I the only person who has left Christianity and come back to it only to appreciate it to some degree?
Don't get me wrong, it is still bullshit but it is very wonderful bullshit.
What do you find compelling in a theology that begins with a God that is a judge and sets and accepts a bribe that has him murder his own son?
IOW.
Is God a just judge?
This speaks of Jesus.
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
The above quote shows this as Gods first actual judgement and shows his setting and accepting a bribe of a human sacrifice to corrupt or alter his justice and judgement.
Justice usually states that only the punishment of the guilty is acceptable to justice and that it would be unjust to punish the innocent.
God’s corruption of this usual justice is what the bribe or sacrifice of Jesus bought. Injustice.
If you elect your judges in your country, would you vote God in as a fair and just judge knowing that he can be bribed?
Is God a just judge?
