They are not his children. They are children of the Devil. Children that kill steal and destroy. I don't blame him for the judgement. The means of death is irrelevant. True christianity is humbling yourself before the maker. We are horrible. Mankind is horrible. He is offering a way out of this mess. You are refusing the way out. You'll get what you deserve, I won't get what I deserve. The choice is pretty clear to me.
We are horrible because of the thing's we believe, not the thing's we actually know about life.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin Story.
For those unfamiliar with the tale, the Pied Piper of Hamelin is set in 1284 in the town of Hamelin, Lower Saxony, Germany. This town was facing a rat infestation, and a piper, dressed in a coat of many colored, bright cloth, appeared. This piper promised to get rid of the rats in return for a payment, to which the townspeople agreed.

Although the piper got rid of the rats by leading them away with his music, the people of Hamelin reneged on their promise. The furious piper left, vowing revenge. On July 26 of that same year, the piper returned and led the children away, never to be seen again, just as he did the rats.

If you or anyone here can bring themselves to put their own children in an oven because they disobey them, then please throw your hand(s) up now.

Bingo.

I choose not to believe. ... Jesus said belief saves you, and I say not believing saves you.
At least you admit it's a choice, a conscious decision, not to embrace God and obey His Way.

It's not as if you're saying you don't, or can't, believe. That would be a much different situation. As it stands, you have no excuse for that which is to come to you.

The Bible is clear that everybody knows God exists. (Romans 1:18-23) It is a conscious decision to refuse His offer of salvation and refuse to come to the The Light, choosing instead the ways of the world because you love your evil deeds that are done in spiritual darkness.

And, thus, you will receive the just punishment.

"... as they did not LIKE to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, … Being filled with all unrighteousness, … haters of God, … without understanding, … Who knowing the judgment of God, that they … are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
(Romans 1:28-32)

Trueman the Levite,

Do you understand what is meant by "My sins are before me"
Join the human race. God will forgive anyone of anything.
If they are truly remorseful. This is called true repentance. It leads to life.
If one is only sorry for the consequences of their sin, i.e., they got caught, that won't cut it.

I am choosing to start my day reading Gods word instead of arguing with a bitter atheist. It’s not worth the mental energy. If he doesn’t receive you shake the dust of your sandals and move on.

Lol ok then. I have just found that it never seems to do any good. It’s like they feed on angering us. It’s way more satisfying letting them starve. They think they can walk over us. They can’t.

Go shoot an elk, you redneck! Lol

Get over yourself. You don't know enough about me to make a concise judgement when you filter what I say through your particular beliefs. How are your beliefs about the thing's I say get you to a place where you'll have accurate knowledge?

That's kind of close, I guess.

I can break down society into two factions.

Faction 1: Player's
Faction 2: Spectators

We either play the game life has given us, or we can sit on the fence believing we know how to play the game better than the people who are actually out on the field's.

You should join us as there are many here that love to argue...and argue...and, well, you get my point.
