    Tell me what is loveable about such a God

    So...you are not for punishment befitting of the crime? Duly noted. Anyway, getting back to you on taking your request for no torture under advisement: After long and careful consideration, since the torture is voluntary, your request has been denied.

    Tell me what is loveable about such a God

    Let me get this straight... You don't eat meat. You would never killed a fly, nor have you. You don't mind sharing your home with animals. You never lock your doors. You don't own any locks. You don't believe in fences. You don't believe that anyone or anything would ever do you harm. You would...

    Tell me what is loveable about such a God

    Satan is the one doing the killing, not God. Which he has done for thousands of years. Do you want him stopped or not?

    Tell me what is loveable about such a God

    ...and what if Satan and your son whom you gave to him, killed your other children for a thousand years, or six? (Your answer will be a sin...but I forgive you in advance.)

    Tell me what is loveable about such a God

    A more appropriate question would be: If you born a son of Satan who plotted to murder you in your sleep, what would you have God do?

    Tell me what is loveable about such a God

    You misunderstand. In all the world there are only wheat and tares: God's children, and Satan's children, who would kill God's children. If we were talking about your children...would you love a God who would not stop Satan from killing your children, or would you love a God who would stop...

    Does anyone here know why God changed Abram's name to Abraham?

    I suppose there are two things behind the name "Abraham", the general meaning: "Father of a multitude." But also the name "Abram", meaning "Exalted father", and then just what was added to make the name "Abraham": "Ha", an expression of "glory over an enemies' misfortune." Checkmate -...

    Why the fall had to occur

    Tell me about this "Scriptural method for determining truth" and where you got it. But, I don't "just happen to have 10-20 scriptures that seem to align with" my pov. I did not begin with scripture and then pick and choose. I began with God, and then chose all of scripture, as He confirmed it...

    Do you do this?

    We "keep" or "practice" all that He has said - not for our own advantage, but for those to whom it is a witness. In this, we too, lay down our life that we may take it up again. But, as it is with all works, it is not the work that is required, but is rather the proof of who we are in Christ.

    Why the fall had to occur

    You are at the very least, a good sport. Thank you for that! Now, in nearly 2000 posts, what have I not answered? :)

    Why the fall had to occur

    I understand. You don't believe me. I get that. But you are not being realistic about the need for a witness. I have said that the scriptures and God are my witness, but YOU do not accept either, and want something less, like men's opinions. But, what word from God ever came with a board of...

    Why the fall had to occur

    Hear from God. But if men did not know Christ when He came the first time, how will you know it is Him, if it is not one of these, but Christ who lives in them?

    Why the fall had to occur

    Thank you for bringing this up. If you understood this, it would prove to you what I have been telling you. The meek do not inherit the earth in the end...but have inherited it. Next, they inherit heaven or hell.

    Why the fall had to occur

    "Nothing new under the sun" refers to equal opportunity for all who are born: the world offers nothing new.

    Why the fall had to occur

    'We speak what we know" (so said Christ) and quote where God has said it too. But you do not believe it either way, but have your own ideas, which are wrong and go against the scriptures. "New" means new. And I already explained "on earth as it is in heaven", is Christs reign upon the earth...

    Why the fall had to occur

    Right...and when has that been the standard of a word from God? "By whose authority do you do this?" Yeah, right! The problem is, you have your own standard, and I am not offering you anything more than God has ever offered.

    Why the fall had to occur

    No, eternity begins "today" (that day of salvation). But, yes, eternity/heaven is not geographic.

    Why the fall had to occur

    Why say wadr (with all due respect), when you have not shown any, but just the opposite?

    Why the fall had to occur

    You have hear the claim of truth from both the true and the false. You still have to believe what you will. My truth is not mine, but is established forever.

    Why the fall had to occur

    You siting God declaring within the midst of His story, what the story will bring, does not prove that it is not written and is somehow being written as we speak. No, He says just the opposite: It was written "before the foundation of the world."
