Well it is on my behalf but I'm fully aware that some people do actually believe it, but hey! that's the bible for you I suppose, got people thinking more about their next life than this one.
Maybe you could answer me a question?
If God wanted everybody to read his book, understand it and follow it's message then why didn't he make the book really REALLY easy to understand?
Have you actually read the Bible? If so, what's so difficult to understand?
The Law (found in the first five books of the Bible, namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) can basically be reduced to one simple principle:
DO NOT STEAL FROM OTHERS.
What's so difficult about that?
When we commit adultery, we steal another's wife. When we commit murder, we steal someone else's life. When we injure another or harm their property, we steal their livelihood and health from them. When we destroy our natural environment, we are stealing from future generations. And when we literally steal another's property we are obviously stealing what doesn't belong to us.
Surely the interactions you see here on a daily basis where one religious person is trying to school another religious person on the REAL meaning of the Bible must teach you something?
All of the arguing that you see going on is because of organized religion, which has absolutely
NOTHING to do with God, other than to use and abuse His Name to promote their own selfish reasons for wanting to continue stealing from others.
I've got a bit of an issue with this "loving God" thing.
What type of loving God prohibits a person from thinking a certain way? Why should a person who doesn't believe in God be sentenced to a life of eternity amongst gnashing teeth an fires pits but a person who does believe in God and reads his Bible gets a ticket to heaven?
What kind of human+Being actually believes that they are not responsible for their own actions?
When it's correctly understood that we've all been given 6000 years and many human lifetimes, to learn to be good and thus stop our criminal behaviour, why should God allow any unrepentant criminal to survive? Do you expect God to release a bunch of hardened criminals back into the universe, where they can continue to prey on those who actually love and keep The Law that God gave us to protect us from all of this evil?
If you've learned nothing else from your experiences in this world, can you not see that the rich and powerful will
ALWAYS oppress the poor and weakened masses? And that the sole mechanism that has unbalanced our society and allowed this injustice and oppression
is the unlawful fabrication of our own rules (legislation, policies, "codes", etc.) that invariably make the rich richer and the poor even poorer?
The Law that God gave us contains the perfect economic system, which prohibits usury (which is what creates debt slavery) and has built in debt relief so that no one can ever become filthy rich at the expense of everyone else, nor can anyone ever fall into abject poverty.
The Fire that has been reserved for the Last Day is necessary to eliminate the criminals who have demonstrated beyond any doubt that cannot be rehabilitated, in fairness to everyone else in the Universe that obeys the basic rules found in The Law.
So the child molester who goes to church goes to heaven and the atheist nurse who cared for people all her life goes to hell?.....c'mon.
Understanding that
GOD IS GOOD, TRUTH, JUSTICE, FREEDOM, PROSPERITY, SAFETY, SECURITY AND LOVE, i.e. all of the things any rationally-minded individual would hold dear, how could anyone believe that a child molester would get a free-pass to heaven for attending one of satan's churches? God sanctioned the building of
ONE Temple under the reign of Solomon.
ALL of the other synagogues, churches, mosques, temples, etc. have been built by Satan, as places of business for his priests, pastors, rabbis and imams, etc.
And if someone believes that good will always prevail over evil, then they aren't really an atheist, are they?
It's amazing that the Bible can be
FILLED with condemnations of church and state and their priests and politicians, and people
STILL worship these institutions and their leaders who, as it says repeatedly throughout the Bible, are leading people
to their destruction.
Anyone who is still voting for politicians or attending one of Satan's churches on the Last Day will join Satan in The Fire.
When you look at the daily exchanges here on this forum where one religious person is trying to educate another religious person on the REAL meaning of the bible it appears to me that modern day religions have one objective....to divide people.
Absolutely agreed. Look at every single institution on Earth and they all have the same satanic trademark: divide and conquer.
Political parties, religious denominations, differing schools of medicine, every legal battle, every stupid sporting event, etc. All designed to keep people from
UNITING under the only standard that can provide true freedom, justice, peace, prosperity, safety and security for
ALL: God's Law.
I'm probably not the best person to be asking questions about God to be honest. He only exists in people's imaginations as far as I'm concerned.
The truth, liberty, justice and good are all figments of everyone's imagination too? How do you (or does anyone) decide what is right and wrong in their day-to-day lives?
Sorry I couldn't engage you in a more productive debate on the matter.
Hopefully you won't mind someone else engaging you in what is hopefully a productive manner in this discussion involving real world problems that can only be solved by returning to The Law given to us by our Creator.
