I can't see selling God though. I mean, why would anybody buy it! If I was shopping for a deity, in my carnal nature, I would choose something that promised me prosperity, protection and the opportunity to do as many bad things as I could, with as few consequences as possible. In other words, I...

Ultimately though, this is about God's Justice. So whatever SATISFIES/PLEASES/GRATIFIES HIM is what is required for anyone of Faith to do. You can question anything; why did God allow Sin in the first place. Why create so many people that God knows full well, will just live a short life...

This is getting repeptitive. You want to read about "Penal" vs. "Governmental" and rehash The Reformation, then read this, if you don't care, then just read The Bible and celebrate The Eucharist, somewhere http://www.theopedia.com/Penal_substitutionary_atonement

You say, Christ had a choice. I never said He didn't. He had the choice to please His Father or displease His Father. Christ made the righteous choice (Hence the phrase, God is faithful!); Satan, on the other hand, did not. Neither did Dr Faustus, in Christopher Marlowe's, "The Tragical History...

Of course God was pleased, he said it, "this is my Son in whom I am well pleased..." In The Garden of Gethsemane, Christs BEGS God to take "this cup away," (this is where The Trinity gets weird) but God wouldn't do it, because it wasn't what He wanted! Are you pleased when people under your...

Look at Mexicans today. The same thing is happening with that issue. Sell out the country to Mexicans, in order to buy their vote. I heard Democrats calling that, when we started with the Minutemen on The Border. It's a no brainer. Is it good for America? Heck no! But what do they care, it gets...

What impression is that?

I love this topic! The thing that really gets me in The World today, is the extreme hypocrisy, when it comes to blood. For example, I see Janeane Garofalo and Keith Olberman, mockingly call Tea Party Protesters, "Tea Baggers," on prime-time cable news, with the obvious connotation, if you...

I don't know what everybody's problem is with blood, but the aversion to it seems hypocritical. I used to be an Atheist and, when I became a Christian, I could immediately see Christians setting themselves up to look like hypocrites. That posture by Christians seemed so ingrained in them, that...

The reality is, women never should have been given advanced education, higher paying jobs, positions of authority over men and the vote. The so called Civil Liberties of the 1960s are, a large move to be sure, but still advancing further along down the ugly path we had already set on, long...

Well, that's what they say we can expect: more of the same.

I think you hit the nail on the head here: blood sacrifices please God. The first was Able's! Cain tried grain, vegetables and maybe fruit, but God wasn't pleased (you can still see Buddhists vainly trying to do that today). However, Able's little lamb, pleased God And that's really the point...

The gist of your post is a no brainer; a six year old could figure it out, but most professors can't! The sad part is, we live in a civilization that has embraced Egalitarianism. Since God did not make us that way, we should not pretend He did! That is deceitful, disrespectful and unjust. It...
