1. If God was all-loving, he wouldn't be such an evil bastard in the OT. Satan has killed and decieved far less people than God ever has. 2. God didn't sacrifice anything. God and Jesus are the same guy and they never died.
Why don't you go get drunk with some prostitutes, and maybe take the women of your family to join the fun? Pervert. And if you get AIDS (assuming you don't already have it) you can blame God for allowing you to be stupid you pervert.
Ok let's operate under the unlikely premise that God actually exists. If God existed then any developments attributed to nature (which he created) would have to be attributed to him also. Earthquake? God did it. Flood? God did it. Miscarriages and stillborns? God again. There can be no argument for Gods good nature if the nature God created causes so many needless deaths. This is normally the part where someone says "the lord works in mysterious ways." This is a laughable statement at best. If something good happens it's all "thank you God. Praise Jesus!" And when something unspeakable happens you say "the lord works in mysterious ways." People who say this are admitting that they don't know at least 50% of what they're talking about. If God is completely good and all-powerful does that mean he has the power to do evil? If he doesn't have this power, then he is not all-powerful and if he does have this power then he is not all good.

I don't think I intended that comment to be directed at you...it's been a long time and I really don't want to dig back to see who I was talking to, but I do not make comments like that unless they accurately respond to the comments of the person they are directed toward. There are several people here I know may have been on the receiving end of those comments because of things they have boldly stated about their love of perversions.......but I don't recall ever having you in that category and I apologize for the impression that the comments were directed at you.

God hates sin, He hates evil, He hates that which destroys the good things He created. "All loving" is not an attribute of God. It is wishful thinking of sinners who do not want to agree with God that their sin is evil.
God is love. God hates sin. God loves sinners because He created them. We all will serve God willingly in Heaven with all of His blessings, or unwillingly in Hell forever unable to believe God is love as we can believe it now. There will be nothing good in Hell where sinners fry like eternal sausages, no way for them to have any indication that God is love because they preferred their pride and would not repent of their sin and incurred His wrath against their evil ways.
There is no need to believe God is loving toward evil unless you are evil and feel the need to believe God will not leave you in Hell forever. Our existence is justified by God since He created us. Our right to live is good as long as God's mercy gives us time we do not deserve. Is your lifetime over yet, are you still counting down to zero or are you lost and gone forever away from God into Hell's fire? Are you still with us?
Yes. God is love. If He didn't love us, He wouldn't have created us. Bad things happen because we live in a fallen world. And most if the time, we pay the price for our own actions. God has given us free will; we have a choice whether or not to obey Him. He gave us free will so that we would have the choose to love; to love as He first loved us.
God is the Creator, He is not an "it". An "it" is a created thing. Your arguing is against a god who is not God. There is no wisdom, nor counsel, nor understanding against the LORD. When you argue against God, you have to invent falsehoods so your argument is in reality against a god who is not God so you can feel like you are winning the right to exist outside of Hell as a sinner because in your mind you have murdered God. Your OP here is framed in willful ignorance, and you are only going against your own life.
The fact that God is love precludes Him from tolerating evil. If God were to tolerate evil, then His love would do you nor me any good as evil would destroy us. God will contain evil in the fire of Hell. The creatures which turned to evil were good and knew God's love before they became sinners. In God's wrath against evil borne out of His character of love, He will destroy evildoers and confine them in Hell forever as a testimony to His goodness, He made no mistake in creating them, and there is nothing to imply He ever stops loving them though the remain condemned under justice and it's good to know God hates evil and can be counted on to purge all bad things out of His creation and leave them in the burning garbage pit of Hell where they belong.
But let me put it another way. If instead of being a loving God he is an angry do as I told you God then there is literally zero reason to worship him. An angry God is just a giant bully and he is going to do with you whatever he wants regardless of how careful you are to try to kiss up to him.
Well, there is no evidence to suggest the god of the bible exists, but for the sake of argument, say it does.
It depends whether or not this god is all-powerful, because I suppose this god could be all-loving but unable to stop suffering. But this would make it a weak god.
On the other hand if this god were all powerful and able to do anything, then this god would not be all-loving. It would either be ambivalent to human suffering or actually enjoy it, in which case, it would be sadistic.
I think the one who enjoys suffering is you, because you use it happily as an excuse for being angry against God. You point at the suffering in the world gleefully as if by magnifying it you are putting God down. All you are doing is marching yourself into Hell like a fool, trying to prove God is not good.
You are Nosefertu, God of the Bible is God. You are an "it" as you are a thing created by God. God is the Creator who cannot be delineated as an it like you.
If you are going to argue against God as He reveals Himself in the Bible, you have to acknowledge Him as God. Otherwise you are arguing against something that is not God, and your argument is invalid. Simple common sense recognizes there is no valid argument against our Creator, so people always argue against something less then God and then claim they are arguing against God. It's nonsense, and there is a very simple reason why the Bible says in Psalm 14:1 that the fool has said in his heart, "there is no God". It's because they are fools, and they are corrupt.
You do realize that as a sinner, you do not have the right to exist outside of Hell and cannot earn that right any more than you can earn the right to live. We all deserve to die and burn in Hell now, and it's only a gift from God if you exist in a moment of time as a sinner outside of Hell. You need to get saved before your dying is forever and it's too late. Tick tock goes the clock, you are running out of time. If you are good, why are you dying? You have gone bad, you are bad, and nothing you can do will change the fact that you are a sinner and that's all you are.
Yes there is a very real chance I am going to hell for the bad things I have done. So what? Just because I am scared doesnt mean I am goong to believe your make believe story about evil people getting free tickets to heaven.
There is no free ticket to heaven. If you repent of all your sin, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in His resurrection, you will have eternal life and He paid for it, He paid the ultimate price for you. If you receive Him, the gift of eternal life, that means He bought you and owns you, bought you back from death to be His forever. He will lead you to obey Him, and lovingly correct you as a father their child when you are going astray...but He owns you and if He has to engage severe punishment to correct you when you are doing wrong, He will do so for your own good in keeping with His own word, true to His character.
You can't' be good enough to earn a "do not burn in Hell" pass. You are a sinner, and that's all you will ever be on your own. You need the Savior to give you a new life, He will be your life if you will receive Him, giving you a new heart and a new Spirit which always honors God and your old self-centered you will still be there in your sin stricken body pulling the other way against God.
Trying to do good on your own is against God, implying you can go your own way and refuse to believe on His Son, refuse to admit you deserve to die and burn in Hell now as a sinner no matter how good you might appear or do in comparison with other sinners who are more obviously wicked than you. We are all the same as heart, sinners who have gone against God and cannot remedy ourselves to escape death.
. If you repent of all your sin, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in His resurrection, you will have eternal life and He paid for it, He paid the ultimate price for you
How is this not a free pass?? Free means without having to pay. All a christian has to do is believe? That is nothing. There isnt even any sacrifice. They can continue sinning in every way and still get their pass. Please explain to me how this pass isnt 'free'?
It will cost you your life. The gift you receive is eternal life, but it will cost you your life. The old you must die. You have to turn away from and against your sin to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
You cant' buy it with your life, you can't earn it with your life, you have to receive new life from God and if you do, from then on He owns you as His child and will freely give you all things in Heaven to enjoy as He enjoys having you there, glorifying and honoring Himself. Your old life will be nailed to the cross with Jesus, and you will carry your cross for Him until He takes you to Heaven.
It is a gift, but that does not mean it won't cost you anything. Look at me, everybody hates me just because I stand on the truth. I could easily be a nice guy like many here, just discuss ideas and accept differences as "to each his own", and go with the flow and have warm fuzzies day in and day out. It costs to be a real Christian. Jesus said that the world would hate me the same as they hated Him if I follow Him, and it's obvious that they do. They would crucify me if the law allowed it. Sure, it's a free gift......and the cost is far outweighed by the benefit, knowing I have eternal life with unspeakable joys in heaven awaiting me when my body of sin/death no longer keeps me veiled so I cannot see my Savior..........
You don't get a license to sin as a Christian. I am fully aware of many who supposedly are Christians and fall into sin. God will correct them whichever way He sees fit and it won't be pleasant, sin always leads to death and I take my sin to the cross whenever I see it rearing it's head to control me. Sin always has destructive and negative consequences and is always to be avoided.....but the problem is that we are sinners and are going to sin because that's what we are. We need to be changed into children of God by a new birth, and that spiritual birth happens when we humbly approach God admitting we deserve to die and burn in Hell as sinners, believing on Jesus as God the Savior in His resurrection after He paid for our sins, and calling on God, asking Him in the name of Jesus to forgive us and save us from Hell.
If we really mean it from our hearts when we come into agreement with God on His terms, He will hear us and if you will do this, you will be born again, the Spirit of God will come into you, Jesus Christ Himself, by His Holy Spirit, will conceive in you a new life, a new you, making all things new, making you a new creation forever with eternal life.
I do believe you are trying to understand. God wants you to know He loves you and you have eternal life when you have it. You can have it and know it. This is written throughout the Bible in many many ways very plainly in many places.
God wants us to be in agreement with Him so He can have us in Heaven. We deserve to die and burn in Hell as sinners. We must agree with God on this point or we will be in contention with Him and unfit for Heaven forever.
We have to believe He loves us and Jesus is God and death could not hold Him in the ground, He is risen from the dead able to save us from the death He conquered for us. He didn't have to do it for Himself, He did it for us.
It's kinda like this. You are standing on the edge of a cliff watching a guy with a wheelbarrow on the other side of a chasm. He says, "hey, do you believe I can push this wheel barrow over to you on the tightrope", and you say, "go ahead and try"....so he pushes the wheelbarrow across to your side.
Then he says, "do you believe I can push it back to the other side", and you say "Yes, I just saw you cross it once, I believe you can do it again"
He say "Really? do you really believe?
You say "Yes"
Then He says "GET IN THE WHEELBARROW"
What He does for us to take us to Heaven is all His doing, and all to our benefit as He wants to have us for Himself to enjoy forever giving us freely all things in Heaven...and if we get out of line and behave badly, He will do whatever He has to do to get us back to calm trust in Him as He pushes that wheelbarrow taking us to Heaven. The Bible in one place refers to it as the highway of holiness.
It's not about what we sacrifice, it's about what He did for us and that causes us to yield or will to Him. You cant' get yourself across that tightrope, you can't fill the chasm with your good works or things you sacrifice. You have to receive the Savior, trust Him, get in the wheelbarrow.....and He by His Sprit will come into you and be your life. It costs your life, sir. Are you ready?
I went off a bit when I saw you cussing in another thread, but it seems like you really are trying to understand so I will try to help as long as it seems you are trying.
I explained many times, try to pay attention: put your thinking cap on and keep your mouth shut and work with that thinking cap long enough and the light switch will flip on in your darkened mind.
Believing on Jesus in reality will result in agreeing with God in regards to the evil of your sin and renouncing your sin and living a new life of righteousness. The devil believes all of the Bible is God's word, the devil believes Jesus Christ is God and He paid for the sins of mankind with His sinless blood, the devil believes Jesus conquered death and now sits at the right hand of God and has all power in heaven and Earth given to Him, and all will stand before Him who died for them in final judgement, and in that judgment everything they have ever done , said, or imagined in every moment of their time will be exposed for judgement.
Nobody gets away with sin, and your sin is your pride thinking that by doing good things you can earn the right to stand with God. The only way you can stand before God and not fall in the judgement and be cast away in the Lake of Fire forever is to have your sins all paid for, all covered by the blood of Jesus Christ and if you are trying to earn standing with God any other way, it's not good enough and you will be rejected as unfit.
If you truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you will receive Him as your Savior and be covered by His blood, and He will live in you by His holy Spirt, and being covered by His blood, He will be your righteousness because He gave Himself for you so that you can stand covered by His blood in the judgement, forgiven, your debt paid.
If you watched me all the time, you would know I'm still a sinner...and you would know I do all I can to get all sin out of my life and be controlled by none of it. I have the hope of God in Jesus Christ knowing I will be with Him and like Him when I see Him face to face, and every person who has this hope in them purifies themselves as Christ is pure. The final purging of my sin will be when this body of sin I carry is destroyed, and I am revealed as a child of God in a body that will have no corruption, no pull inclined toward sin's selfishness and pride. I'll have a new body in heaven, and one day this old body will be restored, changed forever, all dying removed from it to be like Jesus's resurrected body with Him, by Him, for Him, through Him, and for His honor and glory forever and ever and I will serve Him with joy that can't begin to be described in this mortal timeframe.
Please don't ask me to explain it again. If all you are going to do is run your mouth and not used your thinking cap, and not allow God to reveal Himself to you in Jesus Christ so you can be saved from Hell, that's not my problem.
I explained many times, try to pay attention: put your thinking cap on and keep your mouth shut and work with that thinking cap long enough and the light switch will flip on in your darkened mind.
Jesus Christ is my life, He lives in me, the sacrifice I make is my own body which I present to God as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God which is my reasonable service. He owns me, body, soul, and Spirit and where He leads me I will follow. I take up my cross daily to follow Him, the cross is for my dying, dying to sin, dead to self, alive unto God who lives in my by His Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ who is my life living in me, changing me to be like Him, with Him, for His own honor and glory and name's sake forever and ever amen.

It's not my story, it's the word of God. Try reading the book of John, KJV. You must be born again, a new life from God. That new life is good while the old you in body remains evil. You have to repent of all your sin and believe on Jesus and receive him by faith from your heart and he will come into you and be your life, the Spirit of God. what good is it 2 insist this is not possible and only believe hell is damnation against your sin when you find your self unable 2 get out of the fire? Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, he that believeth not the Son of God shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Nope it doesnt give me any power at all. I guess people who mistakenly think christ was God and that they have a right to go to heaven because they accept that lie are the ones that feel powerful.
Ok, well it's good that you admit you have no power.....maybe you can admit you cannot keep yourself out of Hell and will seek God's mercy through the blood of His Son to be saved from it....but my guess is you will go on thinking you are too good to enter eternal dying,damnation, in Hell and you will think you can stand up to God and demand your rights until you realize He will not answer your cries in Hell. Sorry.
I don't have a right to go to Heaven, God made the way for me to go to Heaven and He paid for it with His own blood which covers my sins so I am forgiven. Eternal life is a gift from God through Jesus Christ, it is not a right. It is not a right I can demand, it is a gift I am thankful for.
I do not feel powerful at all, I know I am nothing more than a pile of wet dust except for the life of Christ Jesus Himself in me. It is humbling, you cannot be saved if you will not be humbled to admit that you deserve to die and burn in Hell as a sinner. I know I deserve to die and burn in Hell as a sinner, and I know my sins have been paid for by God Himself and in His bodily resurrection, He owns my life and I am forgiven as death could not hold Him in the ground, He took my death, now gives me His life because He is good and delights to give life to glorify His own name....only the Creator deserves to be honored,, all we can do or achieve is a gift from Him to be thankful for.
If you think I sound like there is power in my speech, it's because God is true and the power is in His word. It is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
I think you feel like I'm on a power trip because God is knocking on your door trying to get your attention so you can be saved from Hell and know you are on your way to Heaven. You keep fighting against God's offer of peace for you through the blood of His Son, and for the life of me I don't know why people try to deny God's love for them....except for their pride, they love their darkness and don't want the Light of God to reveal the dark depths of the shadows of sins on their souls.
It's humbling to know that while I have always deserved to die and burn in Hell as a sinner, God loves me and gave His Son to pay my price and I am forgiven by Him in the power of His resurrection and have eternal life. The word of God is powerful, and that is why you feel like there is power in the things I'm saying, I'm using the word of God trying to convey His desire for you to be saved from Hell now.
Must be comforting to know you are going to Heaven.
But I have a question.
This is an extraordinary claim you are making.
And some would say that such claims demand extraordinary proof.
But I will not ask for that!
I will only ask that you give us just one bit of evidence that all you say is real, that God loves you, or even knows who you are, and this whole npotion is not simply in your head?
A delusion?
Like the guy who thinks he is, say, jesus reincarnate?
A. Admit you have sinned against God and deserve to be separated from Him as you are now, deserve to die and be separated from Him forever in Hell
B. Believe God Himself plunged into your dying and paid your price so you can be forgiven by Him in His bodily resurrection from the dead
C. Call on God the Father in the name of God the Son, Jesus to save you and receive Jesus Christ the Living God as your Savior, open your door and invite Him in.
Then you too will make the same extraordinary claim I make, and yes it is much more than comforting to know I am going to heaven, it is wonderful....I literally jump for joy spontaneously at the thought of it, usually more than once every day...and I want others to know what I know because there is nothing else really worth knowing if you don't know your sins are forgiven and you are going to heaven.
I don't fight with you because it's fun, I fight with you because I want you to know what I know......it's because I care for you, son.
All of the fools on here, I pray for every one, I put the mouse on the screen names and go down the list praying for every single one, if they hate me or not.
oops, I may have been getting you and Alori mixed up...He's the one who always sounds very cranky the way he words his posts using caps to emphasize key words so it sounds like he is pounding his fist in anger about everything.
Why don't you go get drunk with some prostitutes, and maybe take the women of your family to join the fun? Pervert. And if you get AIDS (assuming you don't already have it) you can blame God for allowing you to be stupid you pervert.
It can't be, otherwise how the hell do you explain incurable blood cancer in children? Innocent children who've done nothing wrong and "God" is killing them as we speak. If it does exist I for one have no desire to meet it.
your sin is killing you and pulling you down to Hell. An child who cannot understand will not be held accountable. You should be thanking God for the gifts He has given you instead of trying to blame Him and accuse Him of not being good enough for you.
What kind of God do you believe in? God does not bring down judgement, diseases and sicknesses on His people.. If you are a Christian, that means that you have not read the New Testament and you only focus on the Old Testament...
This is treating the existence of suffering as an intellectual puzzle when the Bible is a narrative that explains how God is dealing with suffering. But the puzzle can be solved by focusing on specific biblical doctrines (Free Will, Universal Salvation, and less popularly Transmigration).
I will address these specifically if necessary, but you get the gist.
Boring. The Atheist was never a Christian or he would know he deserves to burn in Hell for being a sinner and only God's mercy allows people to live in this world when they deserve to be burning in Hell now. These "problems" and "issues" are not complicated and do not require college degrees to answer or discuss. It's simply a shame that most people, like this atheist who starts by insulting all believers with "faith is not a matter of smarts", cannot discuss these things civilly. The atheist in this video is using insult as the basis of his argument and not accepting the Bible's answers to his objections.
God is going to restore His creation and purge evil from this world soon enough. If He did it today like this atheist seems to think He should, all of the atheists would know nothing more of God's mercy in allowing them to speak against Him while they roam around enjoying His sunshine. Their refusals to admit that God is being merciful to them would end, and forever change to begging God in the fire of Hell for mercy to end their sufferings, and cursing Him for refusing to meet their demands, and being forever haunted by the times when they knew God's offer of forgiveness but declined; thinking it was nothing that He gave Himself as the Son of God to pay for their sins with His own blood.
I doubt that this guy is a Christian, he says way too many things which are contrary to the word of God......that's the Bible for those of you who don't know
Why don't you go get drunk with some prostitutes, and maybe take the women of your family to join the fun? Pervert. And if you get AIDS (assuming you don't already have it) you can blame God for allowing you to be stupid you pervert.
What makes you better than innocent children, and who is killing you? You will stand before God in Judgement if you want to or not, and guess who is going to fall to who on that day.
You will meet God, you don't have a choice about that. You owe Him for every moment of your time, and He will judge you if you like it or not......and obviously you don't like it, so that's just too bad for you.
2. The Brain doesn't just hold information, the brain is an intricate device that processes information. A simple box of information doesn't do anything, remaining inanimate.
i was just trying to point out that it doesn't need to be a brain, or even physical. as you put it yourself, a brain is just an intricate device that processes information.
couldn't you say God does not love you if you are burning in Hell? And could you be wrong when you are there and saying that?
God loves you and wants you to believe it before it's too late. That's why He took on a body as the Son of God to pay for your sins with His blood, to save you from paying with your life in Hell forever. Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
It obviously wasn't a direct quote. He created existence and humanity in such a way that if one does not worship him, they go to hell. Since God had complete control over the creation of existence according to Christian theology, that is tantamount to saying "worship me or burn", since god would have had to have intended the creation of Hell and the purpose it was used for.
Yes, obviously not a direct quote. Once again, typical of your character, you twist things into false accusations by ignoring what is said and insisting the thing said meant something different entirely. This is your lying style, repeatedly proving your lying character. You don't want to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ because you don't want to stop being a liar. You feel powerful if you can engage people by inventing lies for them to argue against and you are doing the exact same thing with God; not listening to Him and rejecting the truth. If He ends your time and leaves you in Hell forever now, you deserve it but you don't want to admit it, do you, liar?
Worshipping God will not keep you from burning in Hell. In Hell, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess to the glory of God that Jesus Christ is Lord. They will worship Him against their will because God demands it of His creatures.
He deserves the honor from them for creating them. If you don't like it, too bad for you.
If you believe on Jesus in His resurrection, and receive Him by faith as your Savior He will live in you by His Holy Spirit, give you a new heart from which living water will flow, a well springing up to eternal life and you will worship your creator with thanksgiving for His mercy with joy, knowing you deserve to burn in Hell but are saved from it and have all of the promises of God in heaven.
You are trying to go against God and God is trying to stop you before you end up in Hell.
God does not say we are supposed to worship you. God wants all of His creatures to worship Him because He created them and deserves their honor. If you wont' give it to Him willingly, what is He supposed to do, bow down to you and let you roam free? You refuse His love and deserve His wrath, disdain His mercy and how long is He supposed to be patient with you while you try to trash Him? If you don't repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be cast down to Hell and you deserve it. You do not deserve to be worshipped, not even by yourself.
Jesus Christ is God. God is God over all creation. He paid with His blood for your sins to buy you back from Hell because He loved you and still offers you pardon if you will believe on His resurrection and receive Him as your Savior. I hope it's not too late for you.
Nope. There's only one thing that is always new, and the rest is old stuff, more of the same. Only God's mercy is new every moment in this world. We deserve justice, but He gives mercy as long as we are not burning in Hell. In Hell, people will never be able to believe God is good, loving, merciful because all they will know will be His wrath against sin.
Why don't you just use cuss words for everything you say? It will make you sound much more alpha dog. You are so strong. wowie zowie. You are so strong, I'm sure you can say everything you have to say with nothing but cuss words.
I'm sorry you don't know what stupid is. That's what weed does to you, it warps your mind so your imagination becomes entertaining and you lose your comprehension of being stupid.
Ignorance is bliss...but it's not an acceptable excuse by which you can claim ignorance. You might want to try more mind-warping of weed to keep your feelings of guilt in check....and try to avoid thinking about death and Hell.
You are threatened with Hell because you disdain God's mercy and do not ask forgiveness for your sins, you refuse to believe He paid for your sins with His own blood and rose from the dead offering you forgiveness if you believe on Him and receive Him as your Savior. When you should be asking God for mercy, you are spitting in His face and saying He's not there. You might as well cut yourself instead of using the name "cut me", because you are destroying yourself slowly in rebellion against God and God wants you to stop doing it to yourself and be saved from Hell through faith in the blood of His Son.
He took your place in death to save you from your sin. Your sin causes your separation from God. God must be true to Himself, when you broke His law death is the result and He gives it to you because you deserve it for going against Him. He who died in your place has the right to leave you in Hell if you will not seek His mercy and know His forgiveness in His resurrection. If you will not believe on Him, you are believing in yourself and keeping your sin on your own head, you are marked by your sins for Hell.
God Himself gave His life for you. He died for you once so you do not have to die forever in Hell. He did not have to die, He is God, He died for you. Death could not hold Him in the ground and He offers you eternal life if you will believe on Him and trust Him to save you from the penalty of your sins which is Hell fire.
You can talk it over with God if you will admit you have sinned against Him and need His mercy. You can be saved from Hell if you will receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. If you are going to keep arguing against Him, you'll only make yourself go away from life forever into eternal death. It's final when your time is over. Jesus finished it on your behalf, but you have to trust Him, believe on Him, receive Him as your Savior or you will go your own way and end up in Hell.
It's not a threat, it's a promise. To me, the promise is good because it's good to know sin will be purged and never bother me again in Heaven.....God's promise of execution of Judgement against sin in the Lake of Fire is not good for you because you won't believe it until you find you cant' get out of the fire, will you?
I hope there is some little piece of honesty in your questions here. It's really hard to tell since you seem to think that if somebody died for you, they sacrificed nothing. I guess that's the atheistic ultimatum, that life is nothing and nothing is sacrificed if you give your life trying to save somebody else's life. I'm going to believe you have enough decency in your bones to appreciate it when somebody sacrifices their life for you. You were created with a body. God took on a body like yours to save your body from Hell, He died in your place to save you from what your wrongs against Him demand...Hell. People are threatened with Hell because they don't care that they have gone against and away from God and He has no place for them other than Hell.
Think. Don't let those devils make you stop thinking and get stuck accusing God of not being good. God is good, always, and He loves you.
Repent of ALL your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in His bodily resurrection, receive Him by faith as your Savior and be saved from Hell. He took what you deserve when He took your death. If that's not good enough for you, then you take your own death as a sinner and it never ends in Hell.
So if I am condemned to die, and you step up and die in my place, you sacrificed nothing when you suffered and died to save me from it? Hell is continuation of dying, you are dying now and need to be saved from Hell. God the Father sent God the Son, who He gave as the payment for your sin so you don't have to pay in Hell. Hell justifies the existence of sinners. We are all sinners, God loves us so much He became a man and died in our place.
"I hope there is some little piece of honesty in your questions here. It's really hard to tell since you seem to think that if somebody died for you, they sacrificed nothing. I guess that's the atheistic ultimatum, that life is nothing and nothing is sacrificed if you give your life trying to save somebody else's life."
Yes, I am being honest here. I t's not that I think that, I think that just about GOD. Because God didn't die so he didn't sacrifice himself like you all say. You think very little of life it seems...
"I'm going to believe you have enough decency in your bones to appreciate it when somebody sacrifices their life for you. You were created with a body. God took on a body like yours to save your body from Hell, He died in your place to save you from what your wrongs against Him demand...Hell.

I would very much appreciate it but I would feel so terrible if they did. And if he saved me from Hell I guess all those threats of Hell you Christians are always talking about are false.
"Think. Don't let those devils make you stop thinking and get stuck accusing God of not being good. God is good, always, and He loves you."
I did think. That's how I became an Atheist. I also read the Bible, both old and new testament.
"Repent of ALL your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in His bodily resurrection, receive Him by faith as your Savior and be saved from Hell. He took what you deserve when He took your death. If that's not good enough for you, then you take your own death as a sinner and it never ends in Hell."
I know you mean good but I really don't believe you still. It's not that being "saved" isn't good enough for me, it's just that I don't see God the same way you do. And that's OK.
"So if I am condemned to die, and you step up and die in my place, you sacrificed nothing when you suffered and died to save me from it? Hell is continuation of dying, you are dying now and need to be saved from Hell. God the Father sent God the Son, who He gave as the payment for your sin so you don't have to pay in Hell. Hell justifies the existence of sinners. We are all sinners, God loves us so much He became a man and died in our place."
No, that is not at all true. I was talking about God/Jesus. He didn't truly die so there was no sacrifice, you see?
I do not know full well that it is never too late for anyone. I like to believe it is not too late for anyone, but the fact of the matter is that most people will never repent of their sins and seek God's mercy in the resurrected Savior who paid for their sins with His own sinless, innocent, life's blood. No matter what I say or do, no matter what the Bible says, no matter what God does, most people will remain stiff necked proud in their rebellion against and defiance of God and will find no rest in Hell.
There comes a point where God says something like "enough", and then it's over, and He will not argue with you any more and you lose everything. Maybe you are already at that point and cannot be reasoned with by God. Maybe your mind is so locked up that God Himself can't get through to you, and that is by your own choice to be stubborn....God gives you that choice because He loves you and wants you to have what you really want. Wanting a reality void of being able to know He is good, which is the claim of atheism, will bring Hell fire on yourself and then you will never be able to believe God is good. That is where most people are at now, and nothing can make them reconsider their error, and only the fire of Hell can prove them wrong and even then, I speculate just a little in saying this, they will still accuse God of being wrong and unfair to leave them suffering in Hell.
Jesus Christ!? He's dead. Jesus is the son of God. Or are you saying that God went back in time before he was born, banged and impregnated his own mom thus creating himself and becoming his own dad.
You are truly sick in the dome to worship such a being.
You will be electrified for all eternity in frell if you do not repent for your sinfulness towards Glub.
You are an idiot. Where's the body if He is dead? They put Him in a tomb with a huge stone sealing the door, and Roman soldiers posted to keep guard over the body. They could not keep Him in the ground, death could not hold Him, it was not possible for death to hold Him. He is risen from the dead and He is LORD.
You are the dead man, a dead man walking and talking on execution row for the crimes you have committed against God, facing eternal imprisonment in the damnation you deserve of the fire of Hell. If you ever prove this to be true, you will be like me...forgiven, saved from Hell, with Jesus Christ living in you by His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God who gives all of God's glory to God the Son for the price He paid to save you from Hell.
Try to think logically. It's you who is dead in your sin, separated from God by your sin with no way out except that God made the way out for you when He took your place in death and conquered death on behalf of all who repent of their sins and believe on Him in His resurrection and receive Him through faith as their Savior. God wants you to reason with Him to receive His pardon, not to fight against Him and be subject to His condemnation of eternal death in Hell.
If you want to go see for yourself, just keep on being the same old proud you forever and see what happens.
You don't understand! It happened like this: One day God had nothing to do. HE decided: "I am going to create a man and a woman with original sin. Then I'm going to impregnate a woman with myself so that I can be born. Once alive I will allow myself to be killed as a sacrifice TO myself to save YOU from the sin I originally condemned you to".......understand NOW??
Well to start off no proof that God even exists, I haven't seen or got any "love" from him, have you... Which leads into this argument having no point accept "believers" I can't change your religion and I won't even bother trying.
you feel you have not received love from Him because you love your sin and you don't want Him to get it out of your life. God loves you so He will let you keep your sin if you insist, but He will not allow you to skate around eternity insulting Him who created you for His own goodness' sake. Hell is for the devil and his angels, and is enlarged to make room for people who prefer being like devils over believing Jesus is God who took their place in death to purchase them back by His own blood from sin's earnings of Hell fire.

I'd quicker become a Satanist than a Christian. The God of the Bible is a sadistic Psychopath. If you read it and interpret it for yourself you will see a lot of murder and other horrible crimes being committed by this God.
This "God of the Bible is sadistic, psychopath" junk is way overused and terribly lacking in usage of mental capacity. Try to think logically about right and wrong. If God ends your time now, He is right to do so. If He leaves you crippled and drooling in bed for a couple years before you waste away in death, He is right to do so. You are not right to say He has no right over you. He created you, He sustains you, and you badmouth Him and expect Him to be kind to you? He is being kind, and you try to paint Him as evil, and you still expect Him to relieve your sufferings? Are you crazy?
You already are a Satanist. You are accusing God the same way the devil accuses God, trying to blame God for allowing you to be evil, and then expecting God to allow you to roam freely. Death is yours, and it's taking you into Hell which was created not for people but for the Devil and his angels (demons).
Just because God allowed people to be born into a fallen world does not make Him evil. He gave Himself over to death to pay the price for the fallen ones so they can be redeemed. You can be redeemed but you are choosing to be lost to death. He is risen from the dead in victory, and you are going down in defeat rejecting the one who will give you the victory He has if you will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
"Good" = things that would otherwise be evil but because God does them they are the opposite. "Giving himself over the death" means an eternal being separating himself into two but yet still being 1 at the same time as being 2 and then dying but yet not really dying because he is and always has existed.
It is fun how some religious people can completely redefine words to make their rhetoric plausible.
Maybe there is hope for you to concede to the Truth. God not only separated Himself, cleaved by death when he paid for man's sins, and He is not only 2 in 1.
He is 3 in one. God the Father who sent the Son to die in our place so He can be justified to forgive us in His resurrection, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one, and we are made in His image, body, soul, and spirit.....we are three in one creatures made in the image of our Creator.
God the Father sent God the Son to be conceived by God the Holy Spirit in the virgin, Mary who was used to provide the human body in which God paid for our sins. Because He had no sin of His own, death could not hold Him in the ground. This is the only remedy for the plight of mankind under the curse of sin and death. All the religions which teach you have to do things to be good enough to earn God's favor so you can or maybe you can be allowed to live forever in heaven or paradise or whatever they teach are lies, you can't be good enough, you have to be forgiven and the only way is to have your sins fully paid for by God Himself and then He can forgive you and remain Just and good in not allowing evil to go unpunished. He took our punishment when He died in our place so we do not have to take our own punishment in eternal dying in the fire of Hell.
It's really very simple, the truth is simple. It's reality, not religion, to believe God and trust in what He did for us rather than to trust in our own doings and our own ways as taught by whichever religion we hear of including atheism which teaches you are self justified by your own existence to live....the lie of that should be obvious in that you do NOT have the right to live and the proof is that you are dying and your dying can be finalized at any moment beyond your control.
He took death in our place, paid our price, so He can forgive us in His resurrection and we do not have to be separated from God forever by our sins. I guess you don't care and will remain forever separated from God by your sin and the only place God has for you is the fire of Hell. I could be wrong, but I think by your own words that you are going to Hell and proud of yourself as you go.
Yeah yeah yeah. Say it over and over and maybe you will believe it yourself. You can do whatever you want put a small group of people 1000 years ago say that you will be saved. Well done for being one of the most gullible people in the world.
You believe God must love your evils because He created you, and you believe that you have the right to exist outside of the fire of Hell as a sinner simply because you are not burning in it's fire now. You are the one being gullible to believe lies......and there are billions like you all over the world.
Haha no dear. YOU believe that God loves the sinner. YOU believe that just because you have a bumper sticker saying "I love Jesus" that you have a right to exist outaide hell. I believe if God does exist he will judge is on how well we have followed his laws. I have to work very hard to be good. I do not fool myself like you do. Sorry little man you cannot be evil and expect God to save you.
I do not have the right to exist outside of Hell. My debt has been paid, and I am forgiven. It's a gift, not a right. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. If you won't receive God's gift of eternal life, you won't have it and you sure act like you think you are too good for God, so go on and enjoy your foul mouth while you can breath cool air outside of Hell.
I've tried more than enough to get you to see how you can be saved from Hell. You're on your own.
If your debt has been paid by someone else then yes you have the right to exist outside hell. Because a supreme being thinks youre so special you have thst right. Well done for being a member of the most up themselves religion in the world. I have tried to convince you to be a good person to get into heaven. Now youre on your own.
All I have to say is this : Y'all do realize that as sinners, we all deserve to die now, right? Every moment of time outside of Hell is a gift from God we do not deserve and cannot earn. Ya'll see the plain simple truth of reality, right?
I think I made it clear I won't be reading your stuff.
This guy believes God has only one rule that you love Him. That the old testament is a lie because a tiny group of people said Jesus was God 1000 years ago. The reality is that there are rules and if you want to go to heaven you need to obey them and be judged on that. Dont be fooled by people that offer something that is too good to be true.
You seem to be on the dense side, so maybe this will get a little light through your thick skull........hahahhahaha..........

Why don't you go get drunk with some prostitutes, and maybe take the women of your family to join the fun? Pervert. And if you get AIDS (assuming you don't already have it) you can blame God for allowing you to be stupid you pervert.

I would never do that because I believe that would make it more likely that I end up in hell. Only a christian is permitted to do that. There is no other religion that permits its followers to do whatever they want without consequence.

Your response is, "I won't worship Jesus, I'd rather burn in Hell forever." Jesus has the right to stand over you as your judge because He died in your place, paid your price because He loved you while you still were His enemy. He rose from the dead because death could not hold Him, and He offers you forgiveness if you will believe on Him. He is your creator who became a man like you to be your Savior, but you won't worship Him and you would rather burn in Hell. Because God loves you, He will let you have it your way. If that's really the way you want it, as a testimony to His righteousness, the smoke of your torments will rise forever from the Lake of Fire.
You "easily" see God as somewhat evil because you are evil and trying to avoid moral responsibility for the things you have done. The only hope you have is a false hope, hoping that dying is enough to pay for your wrongs. The only problem is that dying does not get you out of responsibility...you remain responsible forever, and your dying will never end in Hell if you don't repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. If you believe on Him, you won't be whining about worshipping Him; but rather, there will be a joy in your heart which cannot be restrained and worship, thankfulness, praise for your Savior will flow naturally from you as the Spirt He gives overflows your heart with joy.
Jesus died to save His enemies from Hell. Nobody has greater love than to die for their friends. Jesus created and then died to save His enemies from the judgement they deserve for turning against Him. He paid the price for them. The only reason you try to paint Him as being evil is because you are evil, and goodness is repulsive to you. You love your sin all the way to Hell and I hope you wake up before it's too late.
Why don't you go get drunk with some prostitutes, and maybe take the women of your family to join the fun? Pervert. And if you get AIDS (assuming you don't already have it) you can blame God for allowing you to be stupid you pervert.
This is so stupid. The concept of God being "all loving" is nothing but desire of sinners to live forever as sinners.....loving their sin and hating God while they expect God to bow down for them and overlook their guilt.
God allows us to live when we deserve to die. Sin causes suffering while God gives us time outside of Hell. Sin also is the cause of the suffering of sinners in Hell who have rejected God's remedy for their condition, which is that He Himself paid for their sins with His own blood as the Son of God, to redeem them from the penalty of their sin which is Hell. If you end up in Hell, it's because you wanted to be unthankful toward God for your life and He gave you what you wanted.
You never had saving faith or you would be saved and relieved from suffering.
God could take me to heaven now and end my suffering now but there are many people in this world who have no hope of relief from suffering and need to know the Savior so they can be saved by Him from eternal suffering in Hell.
God does nor force you to suffer. God allows you time outside of Hell hoping you will trust Him so He can save you from it. God relieves suffering, and all suffering is the consequences of sin. Even an innocent baby was born with sin in it's genes, so the suffering of an afflicted child is from sin. Innocent children are not held accountable and responsible for their sin, and they are taken to Heaven when they die and live forever in unspeakable joy and bliss, peace love joy in purity in Heaven. You and I are not innocent. I know my sins are forgiven and I am going to Heaven. You can know also if you will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him as your Savior. God will hear you if you honestly approach Him on His terms asking to be saved, and He will save you.
It seems like your genes are controlled by the gene Dawkins wrote a book about, called "The Stupid Gene". You seem to be pretty much incapable of entering a discussion with respect for the creator of the discussion to focus on the OP, so I'll probably be ignoring you as your screenname requests and banning you without reading our posts.........and then maybe I'll respond after you are stopped from disrupting because I don't like to leave the comments of stupid people unanswered when their stupidity should disqualify them from being visible.
At least I don't have a God delusion where I think I am God. (See what I did there)
Every single time I have actually entered a debate with you, you either banned me for being way too good at debating the topic, or banned me for proving you wrong, or banned me because you don't like words.
It isn't actually a response after banning me if you don't discusses what I brought up. That is still you talking to yourself. Every time you talk to yourself you fail to address the OP.
I like how in one debate you posted that as long as you see my graffiti you know I am not burning in hell, and now in this debate you are too dumb to remember that.

God hates sin, He hates evil, He hates that which destroys the good things He created. "All loving" is not an attribute of God. It is wishful thinking of sinners who do not want to agree with God that their sin is evil.
God is love. God hates sin. God loves sinners because He created them. We all will serve God willingly in Heaven with all of His blessings, or unwillingly in Hell forever unable to believe God is love as we can believe it now. There will be nothing good in Hell where sinners fry like eternal sausages, no way for them to have any indication that God is love because they preferred their pride and would not repent of their sin and incurred His wrath against their evil ways.
How can God love sinners if He punished them for their sins? That doesn't prevent sins. That doesn't attack the sins that He hates. It only accomplishes what a God who hates sinners would want accomplished.
Again, does it ever bother you that you have to be so long winded simply to convince yourself of something you know is false?
What makes you think that as a sinner you have the right to live or to exist outside of the fire of Hell? What makes you think your head is not exploding? What makes you think you are Fartman?

How very Christian of you. I have faith in Yeshua for salvation, but I don't believe that He will protect me from suffering. You have no idea what I have been through. Judge not lest you be judged, and let He who is without sin cast the first stone, so put down the stone, sinner. I believe in Yeshua, not religion, because religious people are judgemental hypocrites.
You should change your screen name to Humpty Dumpty because once your head explodes not even all of the king's horses and all the king's men can put you back together again.
I'm only going by your words. They were one thing, now they seem different. You clearly blamed God for suffering saying "he forces us to suffer" and you said you had faith like mine but it died. To me that sounds like you are not save, but then you turn and get mad at me for misunderstanding?
You are misusing the "judge not" teaching. God does not want us to be stupid. I went by what you said, I made observations. If you say you are a thief, it is not "judging you" if I say you are a thief. You are misjudging me calling me a hypocrite. I've seen you say a lot of things that sound like you are confused. You're getting mad at the wrong person here.....you said the faith you had is dead for crying out loud, what do you expect me to think? It sounds like you are mad at God, blaming Him for suffering which is not His fault.
I keep seeing this in my box, and I always feel sorry for you. Jesus will set you free from the hurts of your past and give you joy to endure the trials of the present and future if you really believe on Him and know the power of His resurrection.
I really feel sorry for you, God loves you and wants you to know the joy of being saved which makes all the sufferings of this world worth the trouble.
I'm suffering in pain now as I type. God gives me the strength to go through it, and I know I deserve a lot worse suffering than what I have or will have in this body of corruption. I thank God for creating me, endure the suffering knowing the joy of being with Him in Heaven which awaits me.
In another post you said the faith you had died because God forces us to suffer. Here you say He is not loving. I don't think you are saved at all. You sound completely ungrateful for God's mercy, blaspheming Him when you say He is not loving. It's your own attitude causing you to feel God is not loving, it's you who needs an attitude adjustment....that's an observation and you shouldn't get mad at me over it. Isn't it bad enough being mad at God?

soooooo? God hates evil, and he uses it to accomplish his ends. If you don't like God, that's your problem. Your dislike of God causes evil to grow in your heart, God's goodness creates evil in you because you want it so God gives it to you because He is good and you will burn in Hell forever if you wont' believe it.

HEYYYYYYY, you are beginning to understand. Yes, Jesus Christ is God and by Him all things consist....or you can say He holds everything together, including evil things. The part you are missing is that He is greater than the evil things and one day the evil things will all be confined in the fire of Hell. You're probably going to be there since you want to deny God of His right to rule over you as your Creator.
God creates evil. God maintains evil. God created hell so that he can maintain his evil things there. This is according to your ridiculous book of lies. You believe lies and then you make your own. A little god of lies you are. Pitiful
God can and will remove the evil from your heart if you will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. The evil in your heart is maintained by YOU, it is YOU who prevents God from saving you from Hell. You can talk and accuse God and blame Him forever, it won't get you out of death's imprisonment in Hell where sin will be confined.
So do you think you have succeeded in preventing God from ruling over you? Ok, so God will not rule over you, sin will rule over you forever and you will be it's servant in the fire of Hell forever. By trying to get rid of God, you are asking to be in Hell forever when you cannot possible know God loves you as you can know now, but you won't, will you? You just think you are as good as God, don't you?
Yep, you're starting to get it. Jesus Christ is God and was God before all things. He created all things, some of them turned by their own choice to be evil, and in their hatred for God, God creates more evil because in hatred against God the evil grows. God cannot stop being Himself, He cannot step down from ruling over His creatures, so while the evil are not confined in Hell, the evil grow and God uses them like pawns to correct His children and bring about His own end, to fulfill His own plan to put away evil forever in Hell and never again have any of His creatures turn against Him. You are fighting a losing battle, and trying to blame God for creating evil will not relieve you of being responsible for your evil. You need God's mercy, but it seems like you just want to kill God thinking you can exist forever outside of Hell if you get rid of God. You're losing.
What are you fighting against God for? Why are you fighting? Why do you hate God so that you try to blame Him for evil? Here's the passage from Isaiah where you are taking one verse out of context and cannot understand it because you are trying to use it as if it excuses you for blaming God for evil.
45 Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
God raised up Cyrus for a purpose, He created evil in the Babylonian empire and they were used to bring evil against Israel and take them captive because they had become evil against God. Off the top of my head, Cyrus was king of Persia after the Persian Empire took over the Babylonian Empire after Babylon had take the Jews captive. God has a plan, and while evil lurks God will use that evil when and how He sees fit to accomplish His plan, and if He needs a special evil for you to teach you a lesson or to end your time when He runs out of patience for you, He will create that evil and send it against you. You can't win against God. He wants you to trust Him and seek His mercy. That's why He's giving you time, His goodness holds back the evil from destroying you even though you are asking for it.
The Christian God says that he is omnipotent and benevolent.
However we all know that evil does exist so therefore God cannot be both omnipotent (all powerful) and benevolent (all loving) at the same time. This is called the omnitriad. So therefore in the Christians eyes, God is more powerful than loving (as he created the world) so he cannot be benevolent.
Also God flooded the world and killing everyone, not very loving to me (Noahs ark)
