You are NOT superior to the one who made you, who gives you food, your bed, your pets, your family. He is loving above all else. You don't know Him.

It is a ridiculous thing to say. God knows more than you, and people are very sinful, Not God! We are the murderers, and the selfish ones.

Amen, sister, amen.
@Carazaa

Just a logical fallacy, carazaa. It's called special pleading.
@Carazaa

I'm definitely morally superior by any recognizable standard of morality.

Your postings say otherwise.
@GodSpeed63

Wrong.

Observe:

1) god kills millions of babies.
2) I would never do that
3) i am morally superior to god.

QED

1) God saves infants and children. You support those who murder millions of babies.

2) You already have and still are doing it.

3) Dream on.

@Pikachu I believe you are wrong and will face God face to face one day, and you will regret these foolish words that you have spoken in ignorance more than you know.

And if I am wrong then I lived my life serving and helping others, and living by the Bible to the best of my ability treating others the way I want to be treated, and loving my enemies and praying for those who despitefully used me like all true Christians. I learned to love from Jesus, God Himself, who died for humanity because He loved us so even when we hated Him He loved us.

@Carazaa Amen, sister, amen. @Pikachu practically begged me to pray for him.
Carazaa · F
@GodSpeed63 Then we need to pray for Pikachu then. It's a start, and who is also reading the Bible cover to cover which is so great!
@GodSpeed63

I asked you to keep your word.
And why not? What could it hurt?😉
@Carazaa

I'm into exodus now

And i believe you are wrong and we'll both pass into oblivion.
If i'm wrong then your god can torture me.
If i'm right then i'll still have lived a good life helping others, doing my best to treat people as i would like to be treated and loving.

Kinda sad that that's not enough if i don't believe in jesus, eh?
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu No its not enough, none of us come even close to Gods standards.
@Carazaa

Sure. But despite that fact, the IMPORTANT thing to god, the thing that earns us either paradise or punishment is that we worship him and accept that we're garbage.

And godpseed wonders why i consider any relationship with god akin to an abusive marriage.

It does seem that christians like to ignore the more brutal parts of the bible or at least blame the victims.
Carazaa · F
@LvChris A lot of people feel superior, this is true. But we are sinners and God has every right to kill us. He came down and died to save us because He loves us so if we ignore such a great salvation how can we escape!

But he didn't though. He came back AND he KNEW he would.
So not really such a big deal after all.

@Pikachu Then don't have a relationship with God if you hate Him so and think you know better how to run this wicked world any better. He is more patient than me with wicked people who have so much hate in their hearts. One day he will burn this whole world up like he did with Sodom and Gomorrah. The ashes from those cities are still there.
@Carazaa

I don't hate god. How can i hate something i don't think is real?
I just don't believe he's real and am therefore not afraid to call out what i see as problematic behaviour.
I'm not willing to go along with evil just because it calls itself good.
If that earns me torture then so be it. I stand by my convictions.

Very easy. You've been trying discredit Yahweh, ever since I've known you. It's something though, you keep blaming Him for everything that wrong in this world and, yet, you claim that He isn't real. And you call me stupid.
@GodSpeed63

[quote]You've been trying discredit Yahweh[/quote]

Sure. Because i don't think there's good reason to believe he's real and even if he [i]was[/i], he doesn't seem like a being that should be admired. Feared, certainly, but not loved. But see if you can muster up some hatred for Jafar from Aladdin. If you can't then you understand how i feel🙂

[quote] And you call me stupid.[/quote]

lol no i don't. You must be projecting.
I call you dishonest😉

You don't know Him on personal basis like I do. His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher also.

[quote]You must be projecting. I call you dishonest😉[/quote]

You're wrong on both counts.
@GodSpeed63

I know you believe that.

If you say so🙂
