[/quote] I think you are very right Arthurio, very right. It takes many, many hours of contemplation and searching for me. I guess I was foolish enough to think I could help some people on here with that. Although I'm not sure if I lost the argument (too prideful to even consider losing ;) ), I do think we are at an impasse. I think most people on here don't want to admit there is the chance of God being real because that would mean they would have to do something about it. If there is even a chance God is real, you [i]must[/i] do something about it. Decide to either be with Him or against Him. That is a huge leap for someone to take in changing their perception of reality. I am thankful for all the prodding and difficult questions from all sides on here. It really helps to keep me sharp and keeps me questioning. :) WH, I'm glad you aren't mad at me. :) :) :) White Hawk, I'm no stranger to the Bible. I've read it cover to cover, and I have re-read several passages over again. I've read what you are referring to. I had a really, really hard time understanding why God told Joshua to kill everyone in the land of the Hittites to make the land of Israel: men, women, children, elderly. I couldn't understand why He would do such a thing. He even wants parents to stone their disobedient children! It is so hard to see a loving God when His robes are dipped in blood (Revelation 19:13). The Bible does not try to hide God's wrath like most churches and televangelists do today. The Bible doesn't just say that God loves, it also says that God hates. He hates what is evil. We are evil. We have sinned (Romans 3:23). God hates our sin. But He loves us. He killed His own Son so we can live with Him again. I don't know any other way God can show us love. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) But you are quite right WH, the Bible is bathed in blood. The blood of us sinners, and the blood of the only sinless One, Jesus Christ. The Bible is a book of messed up circumstances. We are a messed up race. If we were capable of doing what was right, Jesus wouldn't have had to die. God wouldn't have to send us to Hell for our sin. But we can't do what is right. We don't want to. That is why we need a Savior. That is why we need someone to die for us, and make us into new creatures who do, finally, do the right thing. Loading...
