To answer the OP only
1- Romans 2:14-15. I take the figurative verses figuratively nad the literal literally. I use common sense, reason, logic, conscience and continul reflection to delineate between the 2.
2- He did, Moses destroyed them. Everythingsince has been man's interpretation some inspired by God some inspired by selfish desires.
3-See 2
4-If you dismiss revelations from God or deny the Holy spirit (or it's works in your life) then you are seperating yourself from God's will.
5-If taken literally yes I agree it would
6- yes to the first part. No to the eternal suffering. The Bible clearly states that God can destroy the soul in hell. Elsewhere it states that a soul will burn (thus being destroyed) in everlasting fire.
7- I think I did
To answer 1: If you use common sense, reason, logic or conscience you cant possibly explain or justify events like story of job or noah's ark. What you do is accepting bible is certainly true and making the most unlike interpretations to justify it.

To answer 2/3: So he can send something literally.. then why he didn't just send it again?? Actually you believe he came here(jesus)... Why he didnt write all his commands clearly when he was here???
And why did moses destroyed the first one?!? only response to that is: WTF!

To answer 4: No I dont dismiss the revelations I just misunderstand them... I gave an example of a knight from the middle age to fr0d0.

To answer 5:
I Wrote:lets say I am a boss,
I want my employes to produce pen. But I am telling only to one of my employe: "make me something mightier than sword ". So they are producing Shotguns. Is it my fault or theirs???
To answer 6: Will it be painful or not??Tongue
To answer 7: I don't think so...
