Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

[ Thanks mate. It was no big deal; I personally understood what you were saying just fine, and I think many other people would have understood you as well. I think Flann might have nitpicked for whatever reason, but I guess we all stumble over some things so I won't bash him on it too hard. Thanks....

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

Do we have to have a label? Do the majority of people have a label? If you are not a Theist, then maybe Agnostic? Or Atheist? Or Anti-theist? Do you know anyone who is just... nothing? I have a friend who was raised without religion. She went to a public school, did not go to church, doesn't know m...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

Evil is mankind’s responsibility and not some imaginary God’s. Can you help but do evil? I do not see how. Do you? And if you cannot, why would God punish you? I am ultimately accountable to the law that Jesus said I should write in my heart. I am thus only accountable to myself. I am and decide ow...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

[ If you choose justice outside of atonement then that is what you will get. If we reject immoral barbaric human sacrifice and placing our responsibilities for our sins on an innocent victim, to our shame, we get to put ourselves in heaven in the moral way that God really wants. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lor...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

Here are a few simple questions for you Bishop. Does evil exist? What is it's origin and what is it? Justice usually states that only the punishment of the guilty is acceptable to justice and that it would be unjust to punish the innocent. God’s corruption of this usual justice is what the bribe or...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

Eloquent perfection. As a rough speaking Frenchman, I would love to have your tongue and temperament. You seem to understand the concept I sell quite accurately and to my shame can express it better than I can. Full respect to you on this. Regards DL Thanks mate. It was no big deal; I personally un...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

[ I'm not familiar with any passages attributing Jesus' teachings on women or marriage, but I recall the scripture with the adulteress, where he said, "He who is without sin cast the first stone." That alone seems like a decent attitude towards women, but I would like to see what you're g...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

That's not him saying he is God, but him saying that the "true God" is the good we find within ourselves. It's the God of the Conscience, or the God of right over wrong. Which is different from someone thinking they are God, or thinking that they are more than anyone else. It certainly is...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

When you can name your God, I am, and mean yourself, then you will begin to know the only God you will ever find. He never said that he himself is God, didn't even come anywhere near that. That's not him saying he is God, but him saying that the "true God" is the good we find within ourse...

Re: Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

Honestly Bishop! Banging on about how evil you think the God of the bible is. Could it be that what really bothers you is that he is just and righteous and not evil? Again you went for too many issues. Stay on topic or some might think that you are trying to deflect to me. Great minds discuss ideas...
