If God changed his mind

[ronedee]

This is too the Christians out there. If God suddenly and with absolute certainty it was him came and told all Christians you must steal,  rape, and murder and to not do so was a punishable sin what would you do?

I'd follow my heart. Or for clarity: instilled morals from birth. My parents were not very religious. And I did my own thing as a "searching agnostic" for many years before I found what I needed in God's Word.

I believe we are all destined to follow what we believe to be true. We obviously have free will to say or do whatever we'd like. And none of us can say (whether we believe in God or not) that we've lived up to the highest standards we perceive as perfect in our minds.... aka: every one of us  will regret something(s) in our lives that didn't turn out well.

The truth of the matter is: If we perceive God as ALL GOOD, as we are "generally" taught at an early age, we could not go along with what is NOT all good.. or against our true grain.

I don't blame atheists for much! My own dad is one. But I do blame anyone for distorting the truth. Most Christians are basically good. Not anything like is portrayed here daily. So,
the things shown here are a lie concerning the vast majority of good Christians. And that isn't fair. Not a bit fair.

And no "good" Christian would do what isn't "good". So, to finally answer your question bluntly? No.

Would you tell God who suddenly appeared in your face that you wouldn't do GOOD? Like: helping the poor, going to 3rd world countries and volunteering your LIFE to fellow human beings; as a way to eternal Life? I'm guessing that your answer would be the same as mine. No.

And no matter who we are, or the way we answer that question... we all fall painfully short in that category!
