Quote by: Amuse A Father that would choose one child over another lacks the capacity to love unconditionaly. I don't blame you that you want your religion to be the "right one", that would put you over the rest of us. Human ego, in order to feel safe needs to have that feeling of power. Humans try to describe God as having human traits so as to have some idea of what God is. Our ideas are all base on fear. Our whole society is set up to compete against one another, winners and loosers and most of the time we use fear to get our way. So are you saying God needs to use fear to get his way? Doesen't sound like a loving God to me. Your brainwashed from birth that you will be a winner if you follow a set of beliefs handed down to you by your parents or societal culture, which was handed down to them by their ancestos and so on.
If all of this planets inhabitants believed the same way then we truly would have a "heaven" on earth which would make the whole point of doing Gods will here on earth just to get into heaven a worthless exercise since we would already be there! All paths lead to God once you take the dogma away. If God desires our worship then God lacks something that he can't do for himself, again making God imperfect. There are a lot of things that I desire but because I don't get them doesn't mean I'm going to go and punish those that don't give me my desires. Does that make me "better" than God? No. So why should it be any different with God? |
He doesn't choose one over another, as is illustrated in the book of Ruth. He allows us to choose Him. however, if one person causes harm to one who has chosen Him, the Bible teaches that the sin was not foremost against the person, but against God, he who hates God's children hates God. they have chosen not to follow God, but to deny Him. and if they attack the ones who have chosen to follow God, God promises to protect His children. He is willing that NONE shoud perish, but He cannot allow sin into heaven, and thus cannot let a person who has denied Him into heaven.
