We as people have a tendency, nay a compulsion to make it all about us. The Gospel is about God's disposition towards us. it is about God's kindness in the face of unspeakable horror towards himself. It is Good News for us but it is not about us. Keep the Commandments by all means, love your...

It is your interpretations of the scripture you are justifying. It is your interpretations I am questioning. You are conflating your interpretations with the scriptures working from the premise that your views of the scriptures are infallible/ inerrant. If sin is abhorrent to you...then don't...

To be clear, God has reconciled all mankind to himself (forgiven all their sins) but not all want reconciliation with God. God has removed any and all condemnation humanity has been saddled with through Adam but many do not care for the company of God, his character or his methods... or his...

or, does he do it for the benefit of his creation......even condescending to become a man and allowing wicked men to murder him....so men and angels can see that God's character is of a nature that he would rather allow himself to be killed than kill.

Yes. God knew it would happen and said it would but prediction does not equal causation. Isaiah who wrote of this was of the view that both good and evil come from God and so attributed Jesus' death to God. Death is alien to God. God is the life giver, not the life taker according to Jesus...

It was Satan who bought about the flood but God gets the blame. Does that sound familiar? As to how it was brought about, I can only guess. Maybe those antediluvians had sufficient knowledge to manipulate the elements sufficiently to change the climate and the genetics of living...

hmmmm

I would say it pulls away people's right to choose death. Imagine if God said to Judas, sorry fella, you can't dispose of yourself; I insist you live and will negate the consequences of your choices even when you insist on them.

I guess the drum being beaten is as old as the hills ie, I am right and they are wrong, let me show you the evidence....and then it is cherry picked and justified by appealing to scripture or some other 'authority'. This process does several things; it underpins the kingdoms of men; it allows...

I guess posts #2 & 7 went over everybody's head?

I question whether it was God who told them to kill. It is clear Moses who wrote the account thought so, Jesus however makes it clear it is the Devil who came to steal, kill and destroy. John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have...

Ahhhh, the space between lips and throat determines ones reality worthy of comment?

It is HOW you see which determines WHAT you see. Be careful HOW you hear. Luke 8:18

The thing is, it's not about evidence in spite of it being argued that it is. It's about the preferred choice. Jesus told the story of the rich man and Lazarus to make this point of choice.... 'if they don't believe Moses and the Prophets, they wont believe even if one rose from the dead'. Luke...

:Broadly: yet, ole mate, you commented.

I'm sorry you can't adequately process (or don't want to) my post #10

Is it hard for you to kick against the pricks Davy? or can you give me detail on the statement YOU made?

Information for eyes, ears, lungs, skin, blood, nerves, brain, cognition.....hooves, hides, feathers, claws, scales and the ability to extract oxygen from water or air etc etc...depending on the species has all got to be present in cells before any 'evolution' takes place. The complexity and...

A sword in his mouth no doubt! An inappropriate place for a sword don't you think?....or is this metaphor?......and what's he going to do with that sword if you think it's literal? Is God really stuck with outdated technology?

Unless a cell has the information intrinsically, it does not acquire it by dividing.
