Remember, God is not revealed directly thru the five senses since that would be fraught with subjective interpretations. He is revealed primary thru Scripture and Nature - non-physical and physical (His eternal power is clearly seen...). 13 billion years preparation for mankind so that God can reveal part of His nature which is redemption --- the fallen angels (demons) don't have it, only mankind has it available. However, this redemption couldn't be in violation of God's nature which includes divine justice. Christ satisfied God's justice by taking upon Himself the penalty required by that justice. Christ spent an eternity bearing each person's sins individually (an eternity timeline for each person, or equivalent ... the personages of the Trinity are not confined to our unidirectional cosmos timeline). That's why the Scriptures says 'how can we escape if we neglect so great salvation'. Auld Lang Syne(December 27, 2015 at 11:51 pm)popsthebuilder Wrote: Not true in any way. Just because man has historically twisted the word of God to conform to their selfish wants doesn't mean the texts, when not taken out of context and manipulated, aren't pure in intent and even unified without subjugation.
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
Bible written by man not inspired by any god or supernatural being. If that was the case why doesn't guy prove
he exists instead of need people to have blind faith. Because you know blind faith being a cop out for your god
not existing.
Blind faith is not bad but when in general its a crutch for fools who need something to prop themselves up with.
I have no issue with blind faith i have a issue with it when people start yelling you are going to hell or do something
bad.
