I'm sorry. This equality stuff was not the topic of conversation. No one equals one emotion.
I guess I'll just bow out of the conversation.
People ask, I’ve had these same questions:
How is God a Loving God?
The reply is always a puffed up one. “What? Do you have a problem with a God of Hate?”
The evidence pointed at to prove He is a God of Hate is the OT. Some of the questions I’ve had before. So God told them to put a woman raped without the gate but not her rapist
= Jesus Christ stood with a woman who was about to be stoned. (Scratching my head also, how is that so?) Telling them you who are without sin cast your first stone. her accusers dropped their stones. One by one from the least to the greastest.
OT God hates …there is a long list: any with a blemish, a blind man, a lame man, any with a flat nose, superfluous (I don’t know what that is), a man with a broken foot, a broken hand, a crooktbackt, a dwarf, a blemish in your eye, scurvy, if you have a scab, or if your stones are broken …elsewhere don’t touch the lepers for they are unclean…put them without in an unclean place! and the woman with an issue of blood put her without the gate also
= Jesus Christ touched the lepers, he had mercy on the woman bent over and hunchbacked for most of her life, and Jesus Christ took mercy on the woman with an issue of blood where no physician could heal her. Not to mention God in OT hated a blind man and a lame man
= Jesus healed the blind man and the lame man leapt for joy.
Am I suggesting they (Jesus Christ and God) are different. No. Not at all. Not in my opinion. As I’ve tried to share all those unclean “imperfect” and sick and “in need of a physician” : they were told in the OT to put them “those people” without in an unclean place: Women and children; the spoils of war. The unclean woman. The bleeding woman. The blind man. The lame man. Any thing dead and bleeding (menstruating) The lepers. The hunchbacks. Those who have a blemish. The flat-nosed. Insert what was unseen in the Old Testament. What was missing OT? “To
prepare a people in His own Blood, He suffered without the gate.”
= Jesus Christ touched the leaper, healed the blind and lame man, had compassion on the woman with an issue of blood. Those sick and unclean and in need of a physician is the people He went to. Who told Jesus Christ to go to them if not God (I only do and say what I see My Father say and do) who we say is a God of Hate. Preparing an unclean people without the gate “in an unclean place” in the OT, NT Jesus Christ going to visit those people suffering without the Gate knowing they have need of a physician.
per God’s instruction all those unclean people gathered together were put without in an unclean place + having foreknowledge His Son would suffer without the gate to
prepare a people in
His own blood= who Jesus Christ ministered to ( the blind, the lame, the blemished, the sick, those rejected, he reached out and touched the lepers lifting them up by the hand…see how there isn’t many noble among you?) fulfilling His Fathers Will. —to me without seeing that which was unseen in the OT leads to “a God of hate”….missing Where Jesus went to prepare a people in need of Him… not revealing a God of Hate but the opposite “a God of Mercy and of Love” long-suffering, patient, kind hearted, of power and of Love and of a sound Mind…not willing that any perish but that all come to the Knowledge of His Love, Grace, Mercy and Truth.
@Wrangler when I asked you: Why were unclean people collected throughout the OT, told to be put without the gate in an unclean place?
I wanted you to say “because that is where Jesus Christ was going without (to an unclean place) to suffer to prepare a people (unclean) to wash them clean in His own blood. (Remember the disciples that intimate moment of His washing them.) …and a tax collector among them!
I wanted you to say this and then I would have asked then …How does the equal “a God of Hate”?
