You know, there's a reason why Lucifer rebelled (along with other angels) against God, because he was obviously doing something they didn't approve of. Before that, Lucifer was one of God's favorite.
Do you know what the name Lucifer means? Light-bearer.

Well it is your choice of course, to disobey what God commands of us and to join your devil friends in an orgy in Hell. But, don't say we didn't warn you. It's not up to you to determine whether or not God is "immoral". How can God be immoral if He made morality? Morality is defined by God.

But enough of that story. Yes, I said it, story. You know who created God? Man did. Why else would he have "human" emotions? Like love, hatred, and jealousy? No divine being should have any sort of emotions like that, it would impair their judgement.

You got it all twisted around. God already
had so-called "human" emotions. The Bible tells us that God made man in
His image.

And why do you choose to obey the Bible?

Why wouldn't we? When there's a choice between everlasting life and everlasting suffering, the answer to your question is quite obvious.

When there are way older religious scriptures, and the Bible is basically a collection/rip off (that has been modified, and has added new material) of them. And if you say "well, the Bible said it is THE truth from God himself", not really, it was all written by a collection of humans. Plus, that's what basically all religions say, that their religion and scriptures are the one and only and the truth.

The difference between the Bible and other texts is that the Bible was actually inspired by God. Yes, we know men wrote the books, but they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The author of the Koran or Dianetics or Book of Mormon were not inspired by God.
Quote:
And tell me this, did Jesus ever write a single word that was said by him in the New Testament? No, he didn't. His disciples did.

How does that make it any less truthful? Do you automatically reject any kind of witness account if it doesn't come from the subject himself? If ten people witness a murder and say Person X was the perpetrator, do you throw their testimony out just because Person X doesn't admit to the crime?

What's funny is, most Bibles nowadays don't contain all of the books or scriptures that were found among the other ones, so you're not getting everything.

These books were never truly Biblical to begin with. They were heretical texts attached to the Bible. If I wrote a small piece and said that God was a five-headed giraffe that eats planets, and attached it to a Bible, it wouldn't make it part of the Bible would it?
The rest of what you have to say is just promoting nature worship and feel-good pre-packaged saccharin spirituality that's usually peddled by 40 year old blonde women in New Age shops.
