Tell me what you think he has done about it WC?

Where has the idea come from that people have souls instead of being souls, Matthew?

I'm not quiet sure what you're asking in your question Matthew. I see it from this angle, God had given the first pair life and free reign over the whole show of his creation. There was however a restriction and that was don't touch or eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The...

anything justified short of fresh unadulterated air is only evidence of being in denial

@face2face “A candle light is a protest at midnight. It is a non-conformist. It says to the darkness, ‘I beg to differ.’ Does it say the same thing to the Sun?

Can life exist forever without God? Would he maintain at state of misery forever? If he did then what sort of a being is he?

If God gets what he wants all the time is that not the definition of a Dictator?.....then choice is not free. It is constrained. If God's Creation gets to vote who they will have as their ruler (Democracy) and they choose other than God......how does God process that?

Israel insisted on their King....they got what they insisted on. I guess everything went hunky dory after that :rolleyes: The USA has its chosen King, I guess everything will go hunky dory. :rolleyes:

He walked among us 30 odd years. Didn't he abide our sin? Adam and Eve hid from him (their only best friend) and God went looking for them bringing gifts. Isn't that abiding sin? In regard to being a limp wristed weak minded fool.....hmmmmm, why didn't he just scrub Lucifer from existence at...

My answer does, it's just that you don't understand it......and why don't you understand it? ...because your paradigm is of such a nature it will not allow you to see. How is it that the religious folk in Jesus day didn't understand his stuff?.....in fact, they found it threatening enough to...

It's obvious f2f, you are not hearing what is being communicated.....even in answer to your question!

Understand this: 2 Corinthians 1:20 'For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.' Not understand it or misunderstand it will mean one is cut loose to pursue any 'aberration' one can imagine.....particularly religious.

The misapplication of intent is patently evident in Orthodox Jews where Deuteronomy 6:7-9 is subverted by its practitioners. 'These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road...

Being caught up in convoluted theology (but not recognised) becomes the spearhead of confusion....thus endlessly argued over.....ultimately missing the intent of scripture and the point!

Even when we (humans) killed God's revelation of himself (Jesus) he did not retaliate with violence of any sort. In such a revelation, he shows the Universe his character....a character which has been maligned for millennia. This deception by Satan was of such a sophisticated nature a goodly...

The tares aren't in the Kingdom. When Jesus returns in the clouds for all to see, his people will be caught up in the clouds to meet him. Those who are not his people (tares).....their hearts will fail for fear. They will not be able to countenance the glory of the unconstrained character of...

They don't. The language is a literary exercise. Jesus is making a point. Get the point, don't press the language beyond its intent. It's like saying, 'it's raining cats and dogs'.

sorry Behold, your stuff doesn't cut it. You have a picture of God that is not inline with Jesus. In fact, you misrepresent God in a religious cobbling that presents God as a schizophrenic monster.

I love you ViJ :Broadly:

I think it's a really good analogy because it hits the nail on the head. You think it's a really bad analogy because it exposes your flawed understanding of the character of God.
