Zone1 What are Your Deepest Confusions About God?

[Arlette]

God is such a nasty character. So unlikable. I don't approve what he did to poor Job.

 

[sparky]

Little faith would be an over estimation.

My point is there is no debating those seeking clarity that actively obfuscate it frigid one

The Bible god is a very nasty and Immoral character.

You debate if you feel the desire to debate. If you don't, don't.

Nobody needs to talk to me about their faith, if their faith is that fragile, stay away.

This Bible God doesn't measure up to my morals standards.

that is not a reflection of the heavens instead a reflection of those that wrote the bibles who have victimized the innocent wantingly for the duration of their documents for their own self gratification, as crucifiers, right wing congregations, desert dwellers be they one in the same.

 

[sparky]

Because they've an excuse , a diversion, some biblical baloney that will always keep you under the heel of their righteousness Frigid one

complain, and you have no faith......

Well, the same goes, I'll talk when it's good for me, and stop when it's not

Or so you've decided.
The old testament has how many books? Depends on who you are. Catholics have more than protestants and Orthodoxy has more than Catholics.
Why? Because people, pick and choose. It's a human decision. Not a Godly decision.
And so whoever's been telling you about the Bible has said you can also pick and choose.
You say the Old Testament and New Testament contradict each other, well, the new Testament is contradictory.
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)."
"No one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him (1 John 5:18; see also 1 John 3:6, 3:9)."
So, everyone has sinned. But those born of God don't sin, ever.

1. I'm Catholic, so I don't generally read the bible. The priest reads passages before the sermon. I think they are mostly New Testament. I tried reading the old testament and got bogged down with the circumcision obsession, too many words saying nothing. I read Genesis (makes sense) and the Apocalypse (Revelation, makes no sense)

2. The only one born of God is Jesus, I don't see those as contradictory.
The rest of us have original sin, then we get baptized, and off we go.

3. Original sin from wiki
"Instead, the Catechism of the Catholic Church declares that "Baptism, by imparting the life of Christ's grace, erases original sin and turns a man back towards God, but the consequences for nature, weakened and inclined to evil, persist in man and summon him to spiritual battle",[8] and the Council of Trent states that "whereas all men had lost their innocence in the prevarication of Adam [...] although free will, attenuated as it was in its powers, and bent down, was by no means extinguished in them."[9]"

Life is a test.
I don't like that God talks with Satan like guys at a sports bar, could have been the story behind the movie "Trading Places".

The God of the Bible reflects the attitude of the people who invented him. Barbarians.

Plenty of contradictions in the Bible, and still a case of "I pick this part and not that part" from Christianity.

there seems to be duality to your right wing christian fanaticism - now its 10 billion years the c-bible, moses forgets to mention, no problem the fanatic comes back to earth with their plea for reasoning and genuine understanding for their congregation ... as could they be wavering.

- this is what they were saying all along.

Whatever cult you belong to has messed you up.

He is just not as popular now

99.9999999999999999999999% of all viable world religion are a spin off of the God of the Bible in some form or fashion

Try again.

 

[luiza]

Clearly, the ability to create any stance via biblical reference is a religmo manifestation engineered for control here

~S~

Not long to go before these Cultists will all have stakes driven through their servile like hearts and their screams of disbelief and pain will delight the blessed ones .
According to Jim down in the village pub last night .

blowing in the wind, the three desert religions are one in the same with no other world religions even close to their deceit and duplicity or their congregations motivations used for their own benefit at the expense of all others.

Not really. Buddhism and Christianity for example have a totally different base but have very similar values.

to their deceit and duplicity or their congregations motivations used for their own benefit at the expense of all others.

"All others" is your loneliness and hate, I guess.

The God of the Bible reflects the attitude of the people who invented him. Barbarians.

There always were gods, but only one proved he exists in ancient times.
The OT was written about 1500 BC, life was tough back then, basically everyone was a barbarian.
Not sure who invented the prophets or how they knew what to write.

The New Testament has a much different message. Don't get stuck in the way back machine.
