So what makes ISIS evil?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Funny hats and accents. Also, brown.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah, we know, might makes right and "God" is the almightiest blah blah blah.
In the exact same post in which you declared ISIS - an extremist group known for its killing - as "evil fruit", you also said in regards to your god killing its children: (May 8, 2017 at 8:48 am)Drich Wrote: What makes death the ultimate evil? what even makes it a sin? what even makes it wrong? You do know everyone dies? So again, what makes ISIS evil? What makes their fruit even a sin?

Why there is no remission of sins without shedding of blood?
Well, if you think about it a bit... John did something that upset God. God surveyed his large tome of Law and found... there was a law against that. So God goes to John. God: "John, you did something illegal." John: "Okay. That's bad. What should I do to fix it?" God: "Kill George." Sounds logical and fair, doesn't it? NOTE: For this allegory I have assumed that all God's creation is equal to him. That is, the life and suffering of a cattle is just as important as that of a man, because God created both.

I sort of remember Jesus saying in the Gospels that you shall know them by their fruits. So if someone didn't claim faith, but they had good works, no one can ever tell if they're good works from God or not? Why exactly are people able to do good works anyway outside of salvation? It doesn't sound right if the only difference is that every good work performed by a non-Christian is tainted by sin.  Drich Wrote:Evil is a word that describes an extreme desire or act that puts one directly outside the expressed will of God. Is it not the express will of god that people keep the sabbath? This was so important to god that he issued capital punishment to those who violated it in the slightest. Yet, Jesus taught that the sabbath was jest a suggestion that could be ignored whenever it proved inconvenient. So according to your definition, Jesus was evil. Is that not why in the end god forsook him?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

If someone claims to faith, but has no good works then they are lying. Here's the problem... Apart from God.. What is "Good?" Apart from God you are simply going through the motions of baking a cake. With God you now have the ingredients to actually make a cake 'good.'

No what Jesus taught was what God meant by Keeping the Sabbath holy, In other words the spirit of the law/what God wanted when he issued the command. The contrast between what Christ taught and what the law of moses morphed into is the difference between the law of God and the law of man, or rather God's righteousness and man's morality.
