Re: Hello, everyone!

I cannot and will not turn or shift from the straight and narrow and will try my hardest to be like my Savior Jesus.

So you favour killing abusive kids? Do you Christers actually read your stupid book?

2 Kings 2:23-24 "And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them"

I get it now.

You're trying to play a childish game of gotcha. Simply posting verse out if context to try to get a rise out someone who actually believes in something noble and pure and Godly will get you no where.

Reading that verse properly shows to anyone with a tiny brain that Jesus sent those bears to kill wayward children who were disrespectful to an elder. So you see, reading it correctly renders the meaning obvious.

It's people like you who scare off people who may be Saved®. Irinka seems as if she wants to find Jesus and throw off her money grubbing, child mutilating past and be Saved ®.

You are worse than Satan, to my mind.

Lawrence, you are like my knight in shining armor! It is good to know that someone by your side is there to protect you. Thanks for looking out for my well-being.

Yes, we have actually read "our stupid book".

I'm glad you are finally reading it yourself!

God sent magic bears to kill (or perhaps just maim) 42 children. If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is!

(You see, bears normally only kill to protect their young or for food. For them to attack a large group of children, who would doubtless be running in all directions, and manage to chase down and injure or kill 21 children each . . . well, that's GOT to be a miracle!)

You certainly have a point there, Reverend! I see you have joined in this conversation now - I am glad to see you!

So let me get this straight.

You both see nothing wrong with Jesus killing 42 kids via bears?

Seriously?

Absolutely not. God is the creator of all life. It is His to give or take, using any means that He sees fit.

Free, it is not a question of whether Jesus was right or wrong to have 42 malevolent children killed by a couple of bears. After all, who are we to judge Jesus? He is Divine, Perfect, and is never wrong. We are the ones imperfect and it is He who judges us. It is important to have the right perspective on reality, because if we don't, we will end up where we never wanted to be...

So if a bloat of hippopotamuses came stampeding through your lounge and killed everyone you know and love you would be fine with it because it is God's will?

I don't understand. Are you offended by the killing (and/or maiming), or the use of bears? Do you somehow think it wrong for God to force bears to act in a manner inconsistent with their natures?

I'm not sure why either should offend me.

You see, God is all-knowing and all-powerful. That means He knows what is going to happen, and has the ability to change what is going to happen.

The fact that He allows what we consider 'bad' things to happen--rapes, murders, tortures, Hurrican Sandy, etc.--means He has chosen not to stop them.

Therefore, these things are all His Will.

You're a fucking Jew!

What the hell do you care about Jesus? I thought the Jewish mentality was based on knowledge, not superstition?

In this instance the bears are most likely innocent (being bears).

Jesus is the trigger man and is morally culpable in mass murder.

How can you not see this wrong?

Where, in The Holy Bible, is this written?

What is a "bloat of hippopotamuses"?

If it was written there, then that would be God's will, which I would be "fine with", to use your teenaged vernacular.

May I ask if you are a lesbian?

Please explain, using Scripture, why it is 'wrong' for God to do whatever He wishes.

Bear in mind that God, being the Creator, is always right because He decides what is right and what is wrong, not you.

We may not always like what He does, but it is not our place to question His Will.

I find it odd that you focus on 42 children instead of the billions of people He is going to resurrect from unknowing death, specifically so He can burn them alive for all time in His Lake of Fire.
