There are conditions, of course...you first have to ask for forgiveness (sincerely) and accept Jesus as your Savior. Hmmm. So only Christians who repent get into Heaven, regardless of anything they ever did wrong? Nobody else, even if they committed fewer sins, gets in? That doesn't make a much sense if God's goal is to reward a life spent working to limit sinning to a minimum. He'd like everyone to join in, God is love...you say it's a low bar...yet you somehow cannot accept his offer. Foolish? Stupid? |

According to the book you claim he wrote, God regularly murders entire populations of people, and orders his followers to commit genocide. God may be Love, but not YOUR god. Your god is a F-d up, A-hole creep.. |

Your god is a F-d up, A-hole creep.. Keep it up...you once claimed here that you had read the Bible...I'm wondering which verse. It's all explained, it's all true, it's all right there for your use/knowledge/practice. But it takes a little effort...obviously too much effort your pampered, elitist upbringing. |

That's why he lives in one. LOL. IMO, Trump and his MAGA haters don't abide in the Kingdom of Heaven-- which is "all around" and "within" us-- for those who can perceive it. But, "if a man hates his brother, how can the love of God abide in him?" As for the genocidal, tribal God of the Old Testament, Walter, you are correct. That's Bibi Netanyahu's God. So, how do we reconcile the tribal, Old Testament Yahweh with the Christian theophany-- the example and teachings of Christ about loving all people, even our enemies? It's a great leap. New wine. New Testament. In the theophany at Cana, the steward saved the best wine for last, in the wedding feast-- a symbol of God's relationship with Israel and His new generation (Christianity.) My own belief is that the Deity has been manifest in different ways in different cultures and historical epochs-- during different phases of social development, like moving from tribalism to universal ethics. In late stage religions, there are profound parallels between Eastern Orthodox monasticism, Buddhism, and Taoism. And a direct teaching of Christ is that, "There are those (righteous ones) in the East and the West who will dine with Abraham in paradise." |
