And that makes the value of your opinion..... 0.

So why DID god make some people evil? Or non-believers?

Satan lures people into doing evil things, not God.

Re: Is God as Strong as a Unicorn?

I think it is here that Satan comes in.
It is just a vague guess, i have not read the bible myself, nor do i intend to.

Your "guess", in other words you are speaking out of your' behind. By your own admission don't know what the heck you are talking about when it comes to Christianity, yet you have the seer audacity to present your uninformed opinion as "fact". Doubtless you find us TRUE Christians "arrogant" because we bother to read the Bible and refuse to pander to your uninformed nonsense.

He did not. He gave us free will. We did the rest.

Re: Is God as Strong as a Unicorn?

Jesus did not discriminate or turn people to His word with hatred and "nuh uh! I'm right I'm right you're wronnngggg" type statements.

I agree with you that Christianity is about love, and I'm as appalled as you are by the attitudes of the Landover Baptist Church. However, I'm not so sure that Jesus didn't engage in that sort of behavior himself. Consider Matthew 3:7, in which Jesus described the Phairsees and Sadducees this way:

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matthew 3:7

He exemplified the positive attributes being close to God gave him (can't get much closer than he was!), such as love and compassion for other people.

And yet he told the Canaanite woman who asked him to heal his daughter: It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. Matthew 15:26

He forgave everyone.

That is not what the Bible says. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.... But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. Matthew 11:20-24

IF only we could be so virtuous.

Jesus was a man of great virtue, and we would all do well to emulate him, but he was a man who had human flaws just like the rest of us do. Why can't we take the good in Jesus's message and make it our own, while rejecting those things he did and said that do not accord with our sense of morality and fair treatment for all of God's creatures--which seems to be the exact opposite of Landover's stance.

I agree with you that Christianity is about love, [...]

Your absence from this forum was much appreciated, however, the vacation does not seem to have done much to focus your views.

Let me tell you of the Time Traveler's Paradox: What would happen if you traveled into the past and killed your grandparents before they could give birth to your parents?

Bear this in mind.

Christianity is not "all about love." Were it so, it would say so on the first page of the NT.

However, by chapter 2 Herod has slaughtered the innocents and no one has batted an eyelid. These were the days of the Greatest Holiness, the Days when God walked upon the earth and those are the days that Christ's 2nd Coming will resurrect. It is therefore essential that all realize that Jesus came to fulfill the law of the OT, not to change it.

Now, recall the Time Traveler's Paradox

Given this, without all the 2 or 3 million killed by God in the OT, Jesus' story could not be told. To alter one jot or tittle of that would have changed all of history.

At the 2nd Coming (for the swift arrival of which all of us True Christians pray daily) Jesus will slaughter the majority of the population of the earth.

So enough of this, "Christianity is about love", Alex246 (or whatever his name is) does not need to be led astray by the likes of yourself.

Amen! I must admit, I was misguided at first, but after reading more of these forums and going back to my Bible, I learned the err of my ways and have found the Truth™! I'm actively studying and trying to get better. Praise the Lord!

That is very courageous of you! You'd be surprised how many Christians don't even read the Bible. You won't get into Heaven if you don't read and follow the entire Bible.

It looks like you just might be spending a lot of time with us in Heaven. Do you like ping pong? (in Heaven, there is a non-gay version)

GOD=life thank you for the kind words, but the courage comes from Jesus, not me! He has simply blessed me with the strength to see the Truth! Amen!

And was not all this foretold in the Scriptures?

Ac:9:17: And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Ac:9:18: And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

So i guessed right.

Stop telling what I do, and make a point.
Besides, if my guess where from out of my behind, i guess that guy who said that Satan lures people is speaking out of his behind too.

He did not. He gave us free will. We did the rest.

Wait, i thought it was Satan. Do you guys both have the TRUE edition of the bible?
