Would you like that? I don't! Our God is just!

So, we live in an ant farm that belongs to a jealous creator..but he loves us. He built this great place for us....

Later,
He thinks the ants are doing the right thing, so he sends his son? To die for 3 days...
That makes everything ok...but no...
We have to acknowledge that this sacrifice was exactly what we needed...

And if we don’t....this all loving and just god has a place for all of us to spend eternity.

I didn’t ask to be born. I am not an ant in a farm.
It’s against all odds that I am am actually sitting and typing this response at all...

If it is as the Bible states, we are all in hell anyway.


Why are we adding layers that aren’t there?

@Texasgurl I imagine him taking a microscope under a hot sun on us sometimes 🤣

@Texasgurl God is not the problem, we are the problem and He is trying to help us out.
He says [b]"Come let us reason together, your sins are like scarlet, but you will be as white as snow.[/b]

@Texasgurl What do you mean?
Your energies are best spent elsewhere, with your witness routine.@Carazaa

@Texasgurl Exactly, she just posted this to preach, not like she really wanted to know.
She does that. I have spoken with her before. It takes all types in the world.
Still though, to come onto a medium like this and try and do it is a new low.@SatanBurger

I care about you that's why I asked. 🌷


[b]Hebrews 2:3


“How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;”

@SatanBurger I am here because I want to be obedient to God, and I care about people here🌷
Can we stick to the question you posted?@Carazaa
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@Texasgurl Exactly.
Carazaa · F
@Texasgurl Ofcourse we can. I am sticking to my question. Do you want a God where everyone goes to heaven? Someone who does terrible things to your loved ones? Yes or No?

We have a just God. He says we [b]ALL [/b]come short of His Glory, and we need someone who can take the punishment for ALL of us. Because we are all guilty.
All we have to do is repent and have faith and follow Jesus.

Yes.
At least eventually. Because i don't believe there is any moral justification for the infinite punishment of a finite crime.
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu Finite crime? Have you talked with rape victims or murder victims? There are no finite crimes. If we say a mean word the Hosts of the heavens hear it. It stands forever, and ever, and ever!

Everyone can go to heaven. All they have to do is say "sorry for my sins and mean it and have faith in Jesus and they will." How easy is that? Well its kind of hard to follow Him, yeah... the rewards surely out ways the consequences, but there are consequences.
@Carazaa

That's still a finite crime. At worst, it ends when the life of the victim ends.
There is a limit to the impact of the crime and therefor there is no justification for a punishment which has no end.

@Pikachu Sorry love, but you are not thinking logically here. If someone murders you child it is permanent!
It ends with death@Carazaa
@Carazaa



[quote]If someone murders you child it is permanent![/quote]
No it isn't.
You'll either die and disappear forever or you'll die and be reunited with your child.
The crime is finite. There is no justification for a punishment which lasts forever.
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu Now I see where your logic is derailing. You are underestimating the consequences of SIN! You just are sadly uninformed about the permanent devastating consequences of sin. And dying and disappearing like you say is a permanent consequence.
Carazaa · F
@Texasgurl That's right, death is the consequence of sin.
@Carazaa


[quote]You just are sadly uninformed about the permanent devastating consequences of sin. [/quote]

How can you claim it's permanent when you also believe it's ok and you get into heaven as long as you say sorry and mean it?

[quote]And dying and disappearing like you say is a permanent consequence.[/quote]

It's a permanent condition but it's the end of the effects of a crime.
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu Well that's something else if we repent than Jesus takes our sins on his shoulders, but the end is still death, just not our death but Jesus and there still are devastating consequences for this world.
@Carazaa

Jesus didn't die permanently. He died even less permanently than your average human. He payed a finite price for our sins.
So how can you justify anyone paying an infinite price for a finite crime?
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu People pay a infinite price for a infinite crime because the world still has permanent consequenses for its sins. People are just oblivious to the consequenses of their actions in this world. It is so sad I feel like crying. God is crying in heaven and has asked all to be reasonable because we are oblivious.
