Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

That is for our Pastor to tell us and for us to judge ourselves.For one, I personally believe that most of Psalm is not to be taken seriously.

The LORD trieth the righteous:
but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psalm 11:5

God would never hate anyone, no matter who they were. I see it as a metaphore. We must be cautious of hate. Lest we become those men who “loveth violence” ourselves.

Because God has spoken to me. I was in a dark place for a time. I was addicted to a substance which I wish not to elicit. I looked for salvation in God and found it. I have been free from my addiction for seven years. I have never been healthier nor happier.
That is why I believe. Not because of The Bible, not because of my parents (I was raised atheist,) not because of word of mouth through my bishop, and not through teaching. I found salvation because I asked for it.

Salvation is not the result of any demands from us. It is a gift.

II CORINTHIANS 9 . KJV . look up
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

How do you know which parts of the Bible were meant tongue in cheek?

Why do you believe in God and Hell and Satan and Salvation if you cannot trust your source?

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

It seems I might be confusing you with Westboro. My regrets.


To answer your question, to an extent. I live in Utah. As such, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. We are told that not all of The Bible is to be taken seriously. There are parts that are meant to be taken with a grain of salt. So, do I believe in Hell? Yes. Do I believe in God? Yes. Do I believe that God will punish all sinners? No. God loved us all so much that He gave us free will. But, He knew it would come with temptation. Which is why, in all His wisdom, God gave us a chance to repent our sins and free ourselves of Satan’s grasp.

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

Perhaps you confuse us with Westboro Baptist Church. They are an inbred hill-billy family comprised of false believers, and they reject many important parts of Holy Scripture, to their own eternal detriment.

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

Umm...when I said “you” I meant it as in “your community.” I don’t know this woman. And perhaps I am mistaken when I remember you touring the country. But, I have been around these forums and I’ve seen many people call for voilence towards others. All I menat was: how can you complain about people being rude to you, when your community actively condems violence.

Did you mean condone? Perhaps you confuse us with Westboro Baptist Church. They are an inbred hill-billy family comprised of false believers, and they reject many important parts of Holy Scripture, to their own eternal detriment.

Our community actively promotes the Glory and Majesty of Christ as revealed in the Holy Bible. We have a Divinely Mandated Mission to reach as many souls across the four corners of the earth as we possibly can (Matthew 28:19-20). We do this because we are obedient, but also because we are eager to see Christ come and clean house, so to speak (Revelation 19:11-16; Revelation 14:19-20). Only when the earth has been cleansed if sin (and the only way to do that is to cleanse it of sinners, well, okay so Jesus could spontaneously render all humanity sin-free while still respecting free-will because He can literally do anything but He's not going to so there's no point in belaboring). Anyway, then New Jerusalem will come floating down (Revelation 21:2), and we True Christians™ will become rulers of New Earth (Revelation 5:10)!


Glory!

And, more than that, you have this:

You have four KKK members chasing an African American. You constaly refer to African Americans as “nigros.” I’m am honestly suprised that you don’t support Hitler. More than this, a member of your forums, Cranky Old Man, who literally condems rape.
Please, explain to me why you don’t condemn hate...

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

Let me refresh your memory, dear.



You literally just accused her of literally touring the country with signs. I'm asking what your evidence for such an accusation is. Did you just assume it? Do you have a habit of making random accusations against people who don't think like you? Did a ghost whisper this in your ear and you assumed it was the Holy Ghost because when you hear voices you cannot imagine its cause is neurological?

Your question is hinged on a false accusation. Perhaps you'd like to restate your question so it can be answered.

I never accused her personally.

you literally tour the country with signs like “God hates Gays” “Jews go to hell” and the such?

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

Why do you accuse Sister Basilissa of touring the country like some attention whore on Mtv? When have you ever seen her with holding signs like some common plebeian?

I never accused her personally. I remember quite well being at the anti-gay rally in Portland, Oregon shortly after the local college came out and said they were in support of gay marriage...

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

How can you complain about “cruel and unjust” prosecution when you literally tour the country with signs like “God hates Gays” “Jews go to hell” and the such? It seems a little ignorant and hypocritical to me...

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

Thank you for your cruel and unjust persecution. It reassures us that we're right and you're wrong.

Matthew 5:10-12
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Re: God HATES Rational Thinking!

Okay, I sincerely hope you people stop procreating. If Satan is okay with knowledge, then hail Satan. Why do you people even bother arguing with atheists when you oppose rational thinking? I mean, they aren't going to argue on your monkey level, so why bother. Better yet, stop using the internet, since you don't believe in rational thinking. Go live in a cave, and just die there.

This seems extreme and too show business. In Jamaica we usually just beat them but sometimes we set them on fire.
