God loves all people. He is a loveing god who has mersy. Yes he gives us a will and yes if you dont turn to him and go to him through Jesus then you cant make it into his kingdom but that is because the only way to his kingdom is through jesus. If a man trys to get into a house and does not have the key it is hopless. Their is no way in. If a man trys to get into heaven and does not know the way it is hopless. Their is no way in. This has nothing to do with gods unfailing love.

Leviticus
Treat them like native-born Israelites, and love them as you love yourself. Remember that you were once foreigners living in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

Do not cast your own brothers into hell like you have been doing. Bring them to the lord. Even if they do not understand what your talking about then guide them. Be slow to become angry.

Nehemiah 9:17
They refused to obey and did not remember the miracles you had done for them. Instead, they became stubborn and appointed a leader to take them back to their slavery in Egypt! But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love. You did not abandon them,

Even befor God gave you the key to heaven he did not abandon his people. Even though they were siners and not following him, God did not turn away and let them fall to hell. God kept trying to get them back but since he gives us free will he cannot force us to beleave. That is why >WE< are on earth. We are to cast out our lines just as James and John were taught to.

Luke 5:10
Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!”

Also James your the only one that was able to help me understand what all of you are talking about. You are trully bless and highly favored!

Friend, I think you need to read the Bible, not whatever it is you're currently reading.

Let me post it in the bible you restrict themselves to...

And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. Even your translation says from that they will catch men...

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

God loves all people.

A short list of people that God hates: entire nations, idolaters, provokers, the foolish, bloody and deceitful men, the wicked, boasters, lovers of violence, false witnesses, sowers of discord, those that encampeth against Him, Israelis and Israelites, those that fall into the mouths of strange women, the king and the priest, Gilgalites, three shepherds, and Esau.

However, it stands to reason that anyone God would abandon to eternal torture, such as any non-believer, He probably also hates.

Leviticus 20:23 - "And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them."

Leviticus 26:30 - "And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you."

Deuteronomy 32:19 - "And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters."

Psalm 5:5 - "The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity."

Psalm 5:6 - "Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man."

Psalm 10:3 - "For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth."

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

Psalm 53:5 - "There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them."

Psalm 73:20 - "As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image."

Psalm 78:59 - "When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:"

Psalm 106:40 - "Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance."

Proverbs 6:16-19 - "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."

Proverbs 22:14 - "The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein."

Lamentations 2:6 - "And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest."

Hosea 9:15 - "All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters."

Zechariah 11:8 - "Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me."

Malachi 1:3 - "And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness."

Romans 9:13 - "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."

Also see John 3:18.

You cite scripture with the intent of refuting other scripture. Do you think the Bible contradicts itself or something? That's something a lying, Hellbound atheist would do.

What I'm saying is the bibble can be inturpreted in many diffrent ways and so what it means to you may be somthing diffrent then what it means to me. Please answer my questions and don't point fingers...

That's not true. A perfect, omniscient, omnipotent God would not authorize a book that could be interpreted to mean whatever you want. God is perfectly clear in His Word, and that is one of the reasons I know it was inspired by Him.

Young lady, you have asked the same questions in other threads. When given identical answers as Brother Billy Bob gave you, you get all huffy and storm off. Is it safe to figure you plan to continue that behavior?

By the way, posting drunk like you do only serves to make you look even more foolish to Jesus.

He works in ways we cannot understand. Stop trying to make sence of all of this. Also the bible means differnt things to me than you which would help me and you. We are bolth in a constant battle in flesh and spirt, which, means I will need diffrent help from god then what you may need becuase our situation are diffrent.

Also if you can't answer my questions then leave room for someone else to. If my questions are answered then I may understand. You are only hurting me other than helping me... I think you see what I'm trying to say...

[Billy Bob Jenkins]

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

He works in ways we cannot understand.

But He does not write in ways we cannot understand. God inspired the Bible and He made sure that it was penned legibly and worded aptly. It is His Word. It is perfect, not ambiguous.

First of all im a dude??? and I have not asked the same question in other threads... its been in the same thread... I can't figure out why you would say I stormed off becuase its been one continous conversation and the couple of hours that I was away I went and played tennis with some friends. As for Posting drunk I havent had a sip of alcahol since I was born. Im not sure what your talking about and my question has not been answered because I still dont understand...

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

You just helped my second point. He does love the world and all of the poeple Thats why he would send his son to save them. He also gives us a choice however so he cant make us beleave in Jesus but he can give us a way to make it to heaven. He still loves us even though we are sinners and even though we dont follow him all the time because we are turned into fools by the devil. So yes anyone that beleives in him will be saved and its our job to help them find him not tell them they will burn in hell.

Again sorry for the spelling...

Let's try again.

This time, why not actually READ what I wrote before you try to respond to it?

If God loves all people, explain to me this:

While you are alive, you have the opportunity to turn to God and be Saved.

God, being all-knowing, knows exactly what evidence would convince you and every God-mocking atheist, every Muslim, every Hindu, etc. to turn to Him. He also knows that you won't turn to Him without His intervention, but He doesn't intervene. This is called "Free Will".

He requires you to make a decision based on faith, not on evidence.

If you make the right decision, you get to be resurrected at Judgment and spend all of eternity praising Him for being perfect. Glory!

If you make the wrong decision, He will STILL resurrect you at Judgment! Glory!

Oh, but then He will throw you into His Lake of Fire, Hell, where you will be burned alive for all eternity, unable to escape and unable to die.

So my question, friend, is why do you think God loves sinners and unbelievers? He could very easily leave them dead and unknowing, and simply reward His followers with an eternity spent singing hymns to Him. But no, He resurrects all the sinners and unbelievers specifically so He can torture them forever and ever!

Does that sound like "love" to you?

What kind of a sick monster do you think God is, that He would do something like that to someone He loves?

Why did Jesus talk in parables (This may not be the word im looking for but I hope you know what im saying)

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

Why did Jesus talk in parables (This may not be the word im looking for but I hope you know what im saying)

To confuse people who are unworthy.

Luke 8:10
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.


Also, to differentiate between those who are of God and those who are not. Those who are not will be unable to understand:

John 8:43-47

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Really, all you have to do is read the Bible, Norway.
