Am I entitled to build the picture of God's nature that I need? Because I am currently witnessing a flexibility in God's nature that allows it to change with whatever satisfies the person's rationale. That leaves my picture of God, as I need it to be according to the logic and evidence that I am coerced into acknowledging, as an idea that can have both positive and negative--powerful and weak--effects on an individual's psychology... or for that matter, simply none at all.
God is love, where is the confusion?
Quote:Can't you love someone and hate another, without collapsing into an endless paradox?Not if you believe God's nature is infinite love and goodness... but then you're basically conceding that pretty much of all Christendom has had it wrong. I applaud the boldness of your move.
Quote:God loves his children, and hates those who do evil towards them or others. Any parent can relate to this what is the big mystery here?Perhaps Jesus and God should get their messages in line.
