The bible,the KOran,Buddhist scripture...they all carry similar requirements-and simmilar penalties. They claim that if i don't live by specific code i will go to hell. I can't imagine a God who would rule that way.

and i prefere to think of God as a she...bringer of life.

*smiles* Your native americans had it right!Mother nature....Gaea

I didn't think Buddhism had a concept of an all-powerful God.

I do not understand why you would limit God to human labels.

Are you sure mother nature is a concept by Native Americans? Which tribe?

Could you explain how i limit God to human labels,please?

And yeah....I dont remember wich tribe but it was some Native Americans,And mostly it was the greeks who invented the God Gaea...later name Gaia

So you're saying we should worship Lanzer? And you accidentally stuck a "r" into "geek".
Why yes, I did just win in favour of this website.

Are you realy that naive??This is just a friendly forum...greques....Sparta??

and..No...we should all worship who we want!!If you think like that for the rest of your life..you wont get far

In case it cause confusion:

Fishers of Men:
Christian's duty to go out and give the Word of God to any and everyone. Whether or not they believe it is their business.

Provide Chapter and Verse. This is the ED. You make a claim you back it up. The Burden of Proof is on you.

I'm just performing my Christian duty in this thread.

Your Christian duty is to love everyone as an equal and to treat them with respect. Your duty is to pray to God and worship him not try to defend him and act as his right hand. You are not his right hand. So kindly step down from your soap box.

God also gave us the duty to be fishers of men, you know. Or did that skip your mind?

Prove it or concede.

However, Jesus did not force anyone to believe. He did not attack anyone nor did he try to claim God needed any defending. If you recall he ate with sinners and he talked to them. He was not rude nor was he belligerent. If you honestly call yourself a Christian, don't you suppose you need to follow his example more than your pastor's? neutral

I am.

All of these inquiries are easy to answer. I have a feeling not many people have the intellect to defend God.

I agree with you there Vosi. :3

No, we shouldn't worship anyone without valid reasoning, which in most cases is just absent, so conclusively you should stop worshiping everyone, yourself included for all those who practice that.

Ummmm, I'm not so SURE about that... I remember reading somewhere in the Bible as to how we're a little lesser than angels... Er, here it is:

Hebrews 2:7 - King James Version

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

We're still important to Him, but as to who the ultimate "favorite" is, I wouldn't be incredibly sure...



In the OP's defense, however, I see where she's getting at. If a group of people were bashing, insulting, and belittling someone you deeply love and care about, you'd probably stand up and tell them off and/or attempt to correct them and/or ask them to stop saying such things. It has nothing to do with whether or not "God can defend and take care of Himself", it's more that she can't stomach reading continuous berating comments about someone she truly cares about. All in all, her intentions aren't so off-base. That's the way I see it, at least.

I am.

You are what?

Following Christ's example?

If you were truly and honestly following his example you would not act so rude and act belligerent against others nor would you have posted this thread.

God can defend himself. He doesn't need some insignificant mortal like yourself to do it. He is not weak. Stop thinking that he is.

I wasn't thinking He is. I didn't even SAY that. Where'd you get the idea that I did? And in God's eyes, we're far from insignificant. The Bible SAYS that we're more important than ANY creature on Earth.

Is being the most important on Earth make us all that cool? I mean, I'm sure we're not as awesome as the Twin Leviathans, one of which got killed due to God's miscalculations and whatnot.

In case you never read the frist book in the Bible, we were all made in His image. He loves us more than ANYTHING else He made.

So he photocopied himself, big deal? We're also the most problematic species He's ever made considering we're the only one who continuously destroys, disobeys, and denies God. God's got a strange sense of humor and probably nothing to do while at it.

We're His Children. Adn as our Parent, God loves us unconditionally.

Really? He's got a funny way of showing his love for us.

It matters not. When I was Christian, I saw people bash God many times however I didn't act rudely to him and claim to defend him. I also saw fellow Christians use God as a tool. That's why I don't like it when other people act like they are God's mouthpiece.

If you need help, it's Mark 1:17

Jesus was recruiting a couple of fishermen to be His disciples. It is a more commonly known verse, as it's often taught in Sunday School, Youth, and Sunday morning sermons... Of course, it's not well-known enough for most non-believers to know, as Noah and Moses are. ^^;;;;

Mark 1:17 King James Version

And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

That made me laugh.

The completeness of the lolcat bible surprised me. There were translations of Habakkuk, Amos, Philemon, and Jude; most people don't even know they are in the Bible.
