Proverbs 16:4

RE: Proverbs 16:4
(May 20, 2011 at 3:53 pm)Statler Waldorf Wrote: Wait wait, so you are using concepts of justice, fairness, and love that people have determined and you are trying to apply them to God? That seems a bit backwards. I would think that God would determine what was just, fair, and loving.

So you're saying that God gets to make up his own definitions of fairness, justice, and love? That's like saying he could just destroy the earth and everyone on it, and it would be fair & just. Oh wait, that's what Christians already believe.

Quote:Where in scripture does it say God sends people to hell for worshipping Him the wrong way?

You just did, below:

Quote: He passes judgment on his creatures for crimes against Him, sin. Even one crime against Him is enough to justly warrant eternal punishment because He holds infinite authority over His creatures. All of us could wake up in hell and it would be a just punishment because of original sin.

All you are saying here is "might makes right." Because God is the one with all the power and can make up his own definitions of fairness & justice, he can send us to hell if he wants. How am I responsible for what Adam & Eve did? Assuming that fable is true, it would have happened thousands of years before I was born, so how is it fair for God to put punishment upon me and all other humans on the planet for what the first two people did especially since God in his infinite power to know everything knew they would disobey him? It just doesn't make sense and is totally unjust and unfair in any sense of the word. Unless you're God and get to make up your own definitions, of course.

Quote:So in fact, it is you who is being unfair by complaining about a system that gives you better than you really deserve. If I committed a crime that deserved the death penalty and I was only given life in prison, I would not sit around in my cell complaining about how unfair life in prison was. Rather, I would be very grateful to the judge who gave me the gracious sentence.

You sound like you suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. How do I deserve eternal punishment in hell for something I had nothing at all to do with, which I had absolutely no control over, and which happened thousands of years before I was even born? It's like the police arresting you off the street at random on the street for a theft which happened a hundred years ago by someone not even related to you, and being grateful to the judge who only gave you a life sentence instead of the death penalty.

And funny how you'd equate heaven with a life sentence in prison, because you've made such a true analogy it's beyond funny.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
