Jul 30 2007, 09:35 PM
Could you explain a bit more what you mean, please, DSTM?
If I believed there was a God, my question would be ...
"If you literally can prevent evil but choose not to in retalitation for the pesky humans who made you angry oh so long ago, what does that say. To let humans make their choices, either filled with goodness or evil is one thing. But to sit back and watch innocents such as children being raped and slaughtered. If you have the power to stop evil, do it. If you are able to - but not willing to - then shame, shame, shame on you".
(I realize casting of stones must be high on many people's list when reading the above, and I'm sorry if I've made anyone angry. But it's an honest question I would have).
DSTM
Jul 30 2007, 10:24 PM
Hi MaraM,What I was implying is that we here on this Earth cop more hell than we deserve.And saying we must be sharing hell from elsewhere as well.How can a person in their right mind worship a God that permits millions of children to starve to death,cause all the premature deaths of millions,cause all the floods,famines disease and whatnot.And in return for all this hell and trauma we go through Worship him regardless.After all isn't God responsble for every single thing that happens on this Earth.
Another thing,God gave us a brain,why do we even need to go to Church to listen to somebody give their opinions on the scriptures? What is wrong with worshiping God in your own home?I went to church for years,and for years, I have been asking myself,Why.My relations are the biggest hypocrites Known.They only go to Church to gossip before and after the Church sermon.Who's hooked up with who,how much such and such got at the sale for their livestock.Meet a neighbour who they fancy and this is a good opportunity to see again.Just a meeting place for gossip in my opinion.In all the years of going to Church seldom I heard a person talk about any points in the sermon they just heard.Just a place to show their friends how saintly they pretend to be.As soon as they get home they are planning their next devious exploit.One final Question,If you commit the same sin over and over again with the same ruse all the time that God will forgive me over and over,do you really think he does?
Let the stoning begin,I'm big enough to take it.

Thanks for being more specific, DSTM - let's hope no stones get cast at either of us - huge gentle smile.
If I believed in God, I would want Him to have less of an ego and put worshiping him at the bottom of the list and actions taken by each individual (whether good or bad) placed right at the top!
Re:
"If you commit the same sin over and over again with the same ruse all the time that God will forgive me over and over,do you really think he does?"You do realize that the Christians amoung us here must be in near hysterics that I, of all people, are going to try to answer that question?
But here goes, and I mean this ever so sincerely ...
Take one person who kills an innocent person or rapes small children repeatedly - not accidently or defending his or her self - but just because he or she wanted to. And they go to confession and confess their sin and are given penance and forgiveness. Technically speaking, this could be done again and again - always with the same result - forgive me Father, for I have sinned. And if they sincerely mean it each time, forgiveness would be given. And provided they die before committing another nasty, they will be admitted to Heaven.
Now, take a person who does not believe in God - yet has spent his or her life being as good as person as humanly possible in all ways and never deliberately harmed another living soul. When 'judgement day' arrives, they are about to go straight to Hell.
And let's say that I'm wrong and God truly does exist. Which group of people do you think I'd rather spend eternity with.

Well yes, but it is wrong to continuously do that because it says we are to repent of our sins . Yet God is mysterious.
I hopefully hope that you would want to spend eternity with Christians, because most are all not like that.

Thanks for the kind offer to throw yourself between DSTM and I and those pesky stones, BlackSpyder! Hug and huge laugh!
Maybe we should ask a Moderator to rescue us and move this over to the 'Misc Religious' thread - I have no idea how to do it myself, but now we've crept off the original intend of 'One Question to God' - eep!
But in response to your kind words, Steve, it would depend on the people themselves and who they were as individuals - not on what they believed.
But then again, just imagine (okay, you don't have to imagine - gentle smile) if on the final day God stood here and and all the self-proclaimed Christians stood in a row waiting entry to Heaven. And He knew each intimately and bopped some on the head and said, "Down you go!". And they said, "But I believe in you!" - and God replied, "No, you don't. In words you do but in actions you have done the opposite of my teachings. To know I exist and to believe in me isn't enough. I expected you to act as one of my representatives in the truest sense. Poof!". And to others who are highly surprised to see God standing in front on them, He gives a milder bop on the head for simply not having believed in him, but says, "Up you go!" - why? because that individual did not harm deliberately to a single person while abiding on earth and unbelieving or not, practiced exactly what he was trying to preach.

This would be my question:
When, say, a Christian goes to heaven, yet their non-Christian friend doesn't, the Christian would most likely be sad. Therefore, it wouldn't be a "perfect place" to be, unless God has that odd philosophy that sadness should be a part of life. Would the Christian merely be brainwashed of all the memories he had of that friend? Would there be a clone waiting? Unless God has the philosophy that there should be a little sadness in heaven, then heaven would not be perfect.

Actually the answer is simple. The Christian would not be sad in heaven. the reason for this is that the Christian would know without any doubt that the non Christian was in hell because of the choices that the non Christian made put them their. the only one to blame for the non Christian being in hell is the non Christian.

QUOTE
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
This passage, particularly verse 4, implies that no sadness exists in heaven. so no I would not feel sorry or miss that person in heaven for I would know that they are where they told God they wanted to be. However I would try my best to bring my friend to faith in Jesus before it was too late. I know where I'm going when I die. Do you? I don't ask this in a mean or condescending way. I ask this because I would like you to have that same certainty. It is never too late as long as you are alive.

Why did you choose the goat ( of all creatures!! a goat? cmon man! ) to be your symbol?
Why do you keep trying to change your name? Its never done you any good.
Why do you torture people who were sent to your dominion? After all, they were sent there because they didnt listen to god.. which is what you want. Shouldnt you applaud ( instead of torture ) them?
How much denero will I make if I work for you?
If your the 2nd most powerful being in the universe, then If I become your #1 man, does that make me the 3rd most powerful?
Why do you think capatilism is the best choice? ( its obvious god supports communism, so if satan is the polar opposite of god, then satan supports capatilism. )
Last of all, whats the rent in your place?
