I am a better person than God!

RE: I am a better person than God!
A fathers love is, apparently, the sort of thing that compels you to curse the ground your children walk on and wish them dead.

B-eautiful!
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!

That's were the Bible comes in, one must understand what it says and when someone finds what they think is a contradiction they need to study and look deeper because I assure you there are no contradictions in the Bible. I've had to look for a long time using lots of prayer to come to an understanding of what appeared to be a contradiction. Let me say this when someone says all the other Christians are doing it wrong ignore them they do not have a clue, they are spouting self righteousness and god says no one is righteous out side of Him.

There are lots of examples of Christians that do not agree. For example the Calvanists and Arminians. Then, up one level, we have the Jews and Christians.  It seems that there is no common denominator, no dogma that ALL who believe in YHWH can agree on with the exception of the title of the book they all use.

Except when He does:

John 3 (KJV)
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Every Christian I've ever met says that the other Christians are doing it wrong. Thanks for the correction, but how am I or anyone else to determine who it right and who is wrong?
Didn't Paul cover that in Galatians 1:8-9 (NKJV)=  "8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed."

So to get the right interpretation you would have to go back in time and hear it straight from Paul's mouth.  

Remember, the Bible says that you shouldn't believe Jewish fairy tales.

 Salvation through Jesus Christ and the Jews do not use the same Bible we do.

 Except for when He? does what.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

If I had been on the scene, I woud have done everything in my power to stop this crime. I believe all of you would have. 

Every believer on this site, CL, GC, Drich, MK, Atlas, would have done what it takes to stop this crime.

Instead, what we are told by believers is that we have free will and the assailant will one day be accountable.

What this means is that if we were to act like god we should not intervene but observe the crime occuring then bear witness at his trial. 

I believe our morals are superior to the God of Moses/ Jesus/ Muhammed!

Well your are more ..uhhhh...in existence than God.

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
