Re: Hello, this is important.

Yes, I agree with the bible I'm just saying that nobody knows what God is thinking right now.

God says that adulterers are to be executed in the Bible, what does that tell you about what He thinks now?

And why is it a supposed Christian does not capitalize "Bible"? Not only is it God's Word, but it is a title, and thus a proper noun.

I know very little about the Bible, but I think I remember that we were created in God's image. If we are so similar, does God not have feelings or thoughts?

If you know very little about the Holy Bible, then why are you trying to engage us in debate on the subject?

By the way, the Holy Word of God can be had for free if you just visit your local Independant Baptist Church and ask the Pastor for one. Make sure you ask specifically for a KJV1611 Authorized Version Bible.

Also you can read one online at www.biblegateway.com. And for your assisted reading pleasure, Brother V has got a wonderful thread going HERE called "Bible in a Year."

I'm not really trying to start a debate on the Bible, just saying that God has feelings and thoughts.

Who are you to tell us what the Bible says, when you have never bothered to read God's Word for yourself? What, your Pastor grandfather has never thought you should study God's Word? What is he, a Satanist? Or worse, a Unitarian?

You telling us what the Bible says is like me trying to tell you the recipes in "The Joy of Cooking" are all wrong, when I've never opened the book.

God took great pains to present Himself as He wishes us to understand Him in the 1500+ pages of the Bible. You have chosen instead to make up your own little god, one who believes what you believe, loves what you love, and hates what you hate.

That is idolatry. That is sin. You are Hellbound, and have turned your back on God.

I'm not really trying to start a debate on the Bible, just saying that God has feelings and thoughts.

And you base this belief of yours upon what, exactly? Your vain imaginings of what God would be, if only God were created by YOU?

As you people say, God saves anyone's soul who asks him in good faith. Isn't this sign of emotion? People say that God loves us. Is this love any different from the love a mother has for her child?

"People say" all kinds of things. Take a look at THIS sermon on the things people say that are NOT in the Holy Bible.

I'm trying to educate you boy. You're making an ass of yourself and I'm trying to help you see the Light. Stop making things up about God and find out for yourself.

How am I making things up? Are you saying that God has no feelings or thoughts like we do? Stop avoiding this question.

I'm saying that anything you say abot God is irrelevant, because you don't know your ass from your elbow on the subject.

God is nothing like you, boy. He's smart for one thing.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Correct. God is smart. I'm not smart, but you aren't either. Nobody deserves to be saved, but God HAS FEELINGS and saves them anyway.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Hello, this is important.

Correct. God is smart. I'm not smart, but you aren't either. Nobody deserves to be saved, but God HAS FEELINGS and saves them anyway.

And where does it say any of that in the Holy Bible?

[Dim by Design]

Re: Hello, this is important.

Or another question, where does it say in the Bible that God doesn't have feelings or thoughts? Or that we actually deserve to be saved because no one in this world is perfect, everyone has flaws

Really friend, quit trying to limit God.

God by definition is ineffable - He is perfect and all powerful. We can not possibly understand His motives or reasoning. Just look at the Bible, does that make any sense to you? No. Like God The Bible is beyond our comprehension. All do we humans know is we TRUE Christians are SAVED and the unsaved scum are damned.

Re: Hello, this is important.

Emotions aren't a limit, they are what makes you exist... God has emotions and thoughts; I know that it's fact. Just like how God loves us. LOVE IS AN EMOTION. I know it deep down inside me. Just like people can't prove that God exists but people still believe in him.

So you are saying you gain your knowledge of God by "deductive reasoning" instead of by reading the 1,500-page Book HE GAVE US to TELL US about Him.

Yes?

God has a contract with humans. Those who follow all of His 600+ COMMANDS get to spend eternity praising Him for existing and being perfect, and serving Him as He decrees.

Those who disobey any of His COMMANDS will spend eternity being burned alive in His Lake of Fire, in unending agony.

Just asking nicely to be Saved isn't gonna cut it. You must repent. Do you know what that means?

Let me save you some wasted typing. Repentance is understanding that your sins are selfish and wrong and evil, just as YOU are (being human), and that every time you sin you SPIT IN GOD'S FACE. He died temporarily for you, the ultimate sacrifice, for three whole days until He decided to resurrect Himself.

You then beg God for forgiveness, and, as Jesus told the adulterous woman, "SIN NO MORE".

EVER.

Tell me, Sparky, how can you know for sure whether you are sinning if you don't know what God's COMMANDS are? Are you going to guess at what those are, too?
