Not really an answer to my question.

While I agree with you, this is rather harsh categorization of tradition. For most of history, people did not have access to the Scriptures to read it for themselves. The Apostles changed the world even though the influenced people without even having the New Testament. Even though most people...

Not really an answer to the question. Continue in your folly.

Why do you suppose anything can or should sooth over the Scriptural fact that God hates? To me this is elementary. We are capable of hate. God is more capable than we are. It is preposterous to suppose he is incapable of the full range of emotions.

Yes, it was necessary and so is this response to you doubling down on folly. You have been shown numerous verses that directly state that God hates people, as opposed to merely their evil acts. The beginning of wisdom is to fear the LORD, God of Jesus. Why he ought to be feared cannot be...

Also try common interest groups. After his divorce, a guy from church played tennis with me and a few others. We became friends. He also bikes, kayaks, plays volleyball and Pickleball. Besides the common interest, is the fellowship.

Do you like yourself? Many of your posts reveals extreme self-centeredness. Although it is counterintuitive, if you focus on serving others, you will find the answer.

Sad inability to communicate cannot be substituted with Bible quotes. In a sermon years ago, my female pastor pointed out we have an emotional God. He loves. Creation is an act of love. In a thread started by an Atheist, I agreed that God hates also. He rightfully hates when his creation...

It is wise to be prudent but not to become jaded. I struggled with what you are talking about 3 decades ago. In short, people disappointed me. I realized it was my fault. I expected too much from them. People have their own problems, are not God and cannot always be there for you. They have...

Well said. My Bible Study leader was fond of repeating an observation of the Bible. Constantly, we are told some version of "Don't go too far left. Don't go too far right." In my exhaustive study of human history, our story is filled with the penduluum swinging too far left and too far right...

Yes. To say no is in vogue but not Biblical. This idea that God hates the sin but loves the sinner is contrary to two Psalms (Pss. 5:5; 11:5) and the opening verses of the book of Malachi: “Esau have I hated, Jacob have I loved” (Mal. 1:2–3).

1 point for me? A couple of weeks ago another poster observed the disturbing pattern of people using God's word as some kind of odd competition or Gotcha type dynamic. This is not a debate forum but an apologetics forum. We love God and his son Jesus and I trust you want to faithfully serve...

Thanks for asking. Things are much, much better but still not totally right. He's repeatedly said that things can be fine for a couple of weeks and then suddenly, she gets into a mood that lasts a day or two. And again, return to treating him nicely for a couple of weeks. Sometimes I suspect...

No. People are not begotten on the day they are born but the day they are conceived.

Appeal to Ignorance.

Ba-zinga. You are technically correct but spiritually wrong. Wouldn't Satan, seeking to sow confusion, pass himself off as Gabriel or the Holy Spirit or anyone else to achieve his goals? You are so lost, you lack discernment of those who speak the truth with those who make false claims. Your...

We are into the 2nd page of evidence. Feel free to read it all again. Feel free to watch the videos as many times as you need to in order to understand the evidence.

Agh. By "apple" you mean "not apple." Gotcha. Your use of euphemisms, contraditory use of language changes nothing.

Well said.

Impossible. It's an abuse of language to assert A or a type of A is not A.
