My intuitive sense of right and wrong wants to puke when it reads the story of Genesis.The laws yes. These things are wrong because God says they are wrong. But the mistake being they are wrong because a given act in wrong in itself. When in fact they are wrong only because God has forbade man from doing these things.
Quote:This idea that we should abandon our own innate sense of morality is really dangerous IMO - especially when the Bible is so ambiguous and people claim to get guidance through the Holy Spirit.Your right I am not going to change my mind, but the thing is my mind is not where you think it is. I did not say we should abandon 'morality'. Just view it for what it is. a work study on whatever the lessor of two evils is. In man's morality is an evil can be justified or if it can be minimumized it ceases to be wrong. (abortion and homosexuality) where in God's ecconomy these things will always be wrong for us to do.
I don't expect I will change your mind though.

that's another easy one...
In essence God wants sentient beinga to work with in the here/after for eternity. Rather God has Jobs he wants done, and he created a universe that requires a 'man behind the curtain' in certain aspects. (like angels serve as messengers ect) The 'trusted followers' (depending on one's faithfulness in this life) will be given a task to do in the next perfectly suited to us.
To what end? To God's glory.
(If you dont know what that means ask don't assume.)
When that time comes when we see other sentient beings if this happens in our life time. What do you expect do you expect us to still be in gods image because the outsiders would look different would you even welcome them our would call them demons.
I don't think that is something you (as you claim them to be) will ever have to worry about.
To answer your question though (we are other the sentient beings) God is sentient, the angels are sentient, demons are sentient...

He bolded it because he's showing you that you're claiming to know what we believe, without addressing what we've actually claimed to believe. I know that's par for the course for you, but it does get pretty irritating.
(And again, please ask Jesus to resurrect your formatting, geez)
then I again will point back to the list of post numbers and have him read them.
