"I don't need the Bible, I can worship GOD in my own way..."

This is one of the things that irritates me most about false Christians and liberals.

How could you possibly hope to learn anything about GOD without the Bible?

Does He send you text messages on your phone?

Idiots.


"Everybody must decide for themselves what is right and wrong..."

Post-modern nonsense!

Depraved sinners lacking a moral compass may decide for themselves what is "right" or "wrong," but True Christians are spared ever having to make such decisions, thanks to the Bible which decides for us.


"It's debasing to want to grovel before any GOD, real or imaginary..."

What is debasing is being sodomized by demons in the boiling Lake of Fire for all eternity.


"There is no real difference between men and women..."

This is so stupid!

It's been a long time since I deliberately looked at anybody naked, but last I checked, men and women were quite distinguishable from one another.

The man goes to work and handles important business, and the woman cleans the house and cooks the food.


"JESUS taught us to love everybody and accept each other..."

He.

Did.

Not.


"Some parts of the Bible I can't take literally because of science, but I generally believe it's GOD's word..."

So the idea of creation of the Earth and all its creatures in six days is ludicrous, but being made immortal through JESUS' blood that you may trod streets of gold with angels for all eternity is reasonable to you?

Either you believe in everything GOD wrote, word for word, or you don't.


"There is no evidence for GOD or the validity of scripture. That is why we need faith..."

I would've agreed with this statement before atheists were allowed to run around doubting my beliefs, but ever since they started demanding evidence, it turns out there are piles and piles of it everywhere.


"Faith makes people behave worse. Who else but the most faithful and devote would kill themselves and others for a religious whim?"

This is really insulting to me.

It may be true that Muslims will strap a bomb to themselves and run screaming into a crowded market place to blow themselves to HELL if the wind so much as changes direction, but Christians only kill when GOD tells them to.


"We have to let kids make up their own minds about GOD..."

Where does the Bible ever say that? (Hint: It doesn't.)

This kind of nonsense will be the literal destruction of Christianity if we abide by it.


"Painful, incurable diseases are not GOD's will, they are just the side affects of a sinful world..."

Really?

The AIDS virus doesn't look intelligently designed to you?

I thought scripture said the wages of sin is death, and isn't death exactly what people get from painful, incurable diseases?

Stop trying to make GOD look like a pansy who can't control His own creations!

What's your point?

Oh, yes, it is a particularly stupid thing that secularists say. I get it now.

Thanks for this outstanding thread, Brother Bob! Very useful. Is it okay to print it out? I search useful homeschooling materials for my boys all the time, and this is a very well written summary!

Man did not create God that way: God created God that way

I've been touched by Jesus!

Lady E, we have printed these off on 3x5 cards and laminated them for our apologetics hour. We use cards like these for games, quizes, and general learning. My children are always so inspired to win because they know one day their knowledge will translate to winning another soul for Christ!

God? A homophobe? He isn't scared of ANYTHING, least of all some sissy.



You Jesus-haters crack me up!

Only by your modern, secular humanist definitions.

When you say "intolerant" about God, what you mean is "expects people to follow the Laws He has laid forth, and punishes those who refuse". Yes, by your definition, He's intolerant. By His standards, He is just. He lays out the law and the consequences; you choose to behave or not.

When you say "sexist" about God, what you mean is "provided roles for men and women based on their strengths and weaknesses, and directed them to follow these roles for their own good." Yes, by your definition, He's sexist. By His standards, He knows the abilities of men and women, and only wants what's best for them. Giving women the vote got us Obama, for example!

When you say "homophobic" about God, what you mean is "designed humans to mate in a particular manner and is so offended by those who refuse to follow His direct commands that He orders them (and adulterers, and apostates, and many others) executed." Yes, by your definition, He's homophobic (though I fail to see how fear factors into it). By His standard, (see "Intolerant" above).

When you say "violent" about God, you mean "destroys and then torments all those who offend Him by burning them alive in His Lake of Fire (Hell) for all eternity." And you're right. (See "Intolerant" above.)

What else have you learned about God today?

If we can get a few more people like Yodeling_Rioters, Sceptical Atheist, and AngryLDS posting in this thread, they'll save me the trouble of having to add to it!

God is intolerant. Yes, He is. There are many many things He hates. Secularists are the silly ones for saying He ought to be tolerant. God can hate whom He wishes.

God freely acknowledges that woman (Eve) was created solely to be a help meet for Adam. He clarifies this many times by inspiring the Biblical writers to set out how women should be meek and submissive. Again secularists say this ought not to be so, even though it is.

God hates gays; unashamedly and consistently. Again secularists say this ought not to be so, even though it is.

God is violent. Over and over He confirms this. You should be afraid of Him. Again secularists say this ought not to be so, even though it is.
