If God gives us free will, what do you make of the Ten Commandments? [Spirituality & Religion]

@xSharp I suspect you don't understand the word of God. Perhaps I can recommend some reading material to you? Have you ever heard of the Bible?

@MarkPaul yes i have, the first few lines are about "wheels" coming down from the sky, according to ezekiel.. but then "god" wrote a rewrite, why would someone all knowing need to change their mind?

if i were an all knowing god, i would only need to speak once.. and id have it right on the first try

@MarkPaul well, its been over ten minutes now.. what have you to say for yourself? for your god? lol

@xSharp I am not aware of any rewrites.

@MarkPaul 🤣

@xSharp Hahahahahahahahahahaha. 😂

@MarkPaul [quote]Have you ever heard of the Bible?[/quote]
I've heard of it, read it and understood it. Apparently you haven't.

@suzie1960 Have you read it in an honest way and with an open mind? Perhaps a structured bible study would be helpful for someone like you.

@MarkPaul Yes, I was a christian at the time. Reading it with an open mind was what showed me it was all BS, just a mish-mash of myths and superstitions taken from older belief systems.

"Structured bible study" is really just a deceitful way of saying "brainwashing". Its purpose is to condition the student to accept anything the "teacher" says without question. I suspect you fell prey to that.

@suzie1960 Why so bitter?

@xSharp You might do better spending time in understanding your reading of scripture and less time ridiculing what you do not understand.

@Budwick your the second person to say [i]exactly[/i] that..

so i will refer you to everything i have wrote thus far, respond intelligently with a little reason because your both are sounding alot like robots with the same programming right now.. proving my point perfectly..

what happend to god giving you free will? lmfao

@xSharp Nice to meet you too.

If random people are telling you the same thing, do you think maybe it would be good time to reevaluate?

@Budwick free thought, free will, freedom, individuality, you have proven with your literal exact response said yesterday by someone else that you value none of these things..

you are a robot becuz of religion and you refuse to see it.. its sad

you wont even defend your position and instead run away becuz your pastor never told you what to say.. to someone who speaks and thinks for themself..

@xSharp Alrighty then.
It's been delightful chatting with you.

@Budwick you are hurting your religion with you inability to speak for its defense, but yet you have no problem with attacking and then running away .. lol i wonder why?

go and pray on it 😂 😏

@xSharp Shrpie - I've neither attacked or run.
There is nothing to defend.
And, you haven't said anything intelligible as yet.

@Budwick then try this on for size..

i am jesus christ in the flesh, do you believe me? your required to have faith in the face of absolute certainty that im not correct? right? lol

so am or am i not? either you believe my straight up lie, or you have no faith and are going to hell.. lol what say you?

and christian definitions of "discernment" (judgment, which is a sin) dont count here.. lol so nice try

i think youll find that a sin and a virtue are separated only by their usefulness and ability to hurt to your ideology.. lol you simply rebrand sins as being good and godly.

@xSharp No, I do not believe you are Jesus.

How am I doing?

@Budwick you have no faith, say ten "living in americas" then you and god can call it even.. 😏

@Budwick [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH9AB16Crjk]

@xSharp This is what you call discussion?

@Budwick its what i call a [i]one sided [/i] discussion

you made the same comment as the first guy, so its only right that you respond to what i wrote first [i]to that [b]free thinking[/b] guy[/i] as it applies exactly to what [i][b]yooouuu[/b] [/i]said.. lol

and then i can proceed to explain further, cuz im not going to repeat myself like some new testament god lol

@xSharp [quote]ts what i call a one sided discussion[/quote]

I see.
It's what I call - over.

@Budwick then off with you.. run away without offering a single tidbit of anything intelligible, anything that could defend your beliefs,

but i guess that is hard since there is nothing you could say..

nothing but "you dont understand!" out of you and him

lmfao no wonder your followers are dwindling.. so weak. 😔
