@SW-User [quote]Say that I need to be saved
Say with me the devils got his way
I want to know how when you are praying
And when you are dooms-daying
How you think you know that someone is listening to what you are saying[/quote]
Dooms-daying?
I am certain God listens because faith and the evidence of my faith have revealed these things.
[quote]So you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives[/quote]
Christians do not make dictations, but corrections/prescriptions. It is senseless and lack of love to force, as opposed to showing.
But to play devil's advocate here, does not even the government tell - command even - you what to and not to do? But yet God, who is greater than an earthly institution, is in violation when He does? The hypocrisy.
If the history of the bible were not questioned/reasoned, we would have no such things present today of articles and scholars who have recorded the veracity of the bible, based on history & geography.
Ultimately, the problem is not the bible, or God, but your heart.
[quote]You think that suffering is part of some great plan that’s been devised[/quote]No, we do not think that suffering is part of some great plan. Infact, we preach the [b]opposite[/b] - that suffering exists, and God hates and is displeased over it, but, nevertheless, will work through it to bring about joy and happiness.
Bashing God and the bible yet knowing nothing of God and the bible. That is injustice.
[quote]Are they really deserved if ‘He’ is sending me where you say I am going?[/quote]
Is it unjust to send someone who breaks the law to jail? If not, why then is it uncalled for when God does it?
If anything, the problem falls on you - that you know what is wrong, and that if you are to do it justice will be served, but you choose to rebel instead. And when the punishment is served, you call foul.
That, again, is nonsense. Justice must be served or there will be chaos and lawlessness.
If anything, people send themselves to hell, not God - the average person knows he will get sent to jail if he steals or murders, but he does it regardless. HE sent himself to jail, and not, primarily, the judge or jury.
[quote]What will it take for you
To start opening your eyes
To start questioning the bullshit everyone [/quote]
Thank you@SW-User. I would ask that perhaps you also should consider what the scriptures say...what the gospel is...without bias...and then compare the two, your unbelief and the gospel's defense.

@SW-User Where is the bias found in my premise? Please, do tell. Thank you
