*mind blown*
Can you seriously be that stupid? I'm fucking astounded at how ignorant and fucking dumb you are.

Get out of the Middle Ages. Wake the fuck up and realize that evolution is a fact, proven by much more than the fossil record.

The Romans didn't put an end to God's life; He gave it up willingly:

"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." (John 10:17,18)

Then He rose from the dead of His own power. He is also the God who has given you your life and yet you wilfully blaspheme Him in despite that. You should really stop doing that, do you not see the universe He has created? He is the Almighty God. You are nothing compared to Him.

Blaspheming the imaginary is fun. Especially when people keep trying to push the belief of their imaginary friend on other people.

And a non-existant being is nothing to even the most base human.

To love everyone equally? And to love your enemies ... surely one cannot truly love god if he thinks others, as you put it, are nothing. Thinking

I think you misunderstood what I meant by calling him nothing. I was making a comparison between his power and God's power. His power is nothing compared to God's power, likewise my power is nothing compared to God's power.

Also your idea of love is different from mine.

Meaning, "I love everyone who believes the way I do and hold those who don't as inferior."?

Perhaps you underestimate yourself Smile

I'm interested to know more about this, in what way is your idea different?

No, my estimates of myself are often far too high.

What I mean by this is that no one can love unless they have been indwelt by the Holy Spirit:

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." (1 John 4:7,8)

The world may claim it knows what love is but it does not. I didn't know what love was for 21 years of my life. I learnt love through the gospel, yet I so often fall far short of love's high standard. Wretched man that I am.

Just when I was starting to like you.

Son, I am disappoint.

Just to check, do you by chance mean the hs which is the spark of spiritual perfection which dwells in all humans, or the specific Christian thing.

Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
