well put it this way jus a few examples...

1st. he's sposed to be all forgiving yet people go to hell...

2nd. still on the forgiving trip, noaks ark...wtf is up with god killing everything except 2 of each animal???...i mean God's portrayed as some being who doesn't condone violence, yet the bible claims he nearly wiped out all of earths population...

i unno if these are just mere flaws or what not...but i know that God is more like a salesman...in my opinion

Mad Dog 09-26-06 09:12 AM

oh and what about the story of jacob?

God killed all his family, friends, live stock, and made Jacob incredibly ill...JUST to prove to satan that he'd still worship him...YET it's always been claimed that God never needs to PROVE himself...just that you have faith in him and that you believe in him

1: Thats if you believe hell exists...

I believe logically hell is more like the souls of humans that cant relate to anyone else therefore they spend eternity lonley. Ask some of the worlds leading mediums and theyll be likly to tell you the same thing.

2: Noahs ark is just one recollection of that story... Great flood myths are prevelent in almost all world cultures, and the exact reasoning for them we can never be sure. Possibly it is simply a natural disaster like an asteroid plunging into the ocean creating really large tsunamis throughout a lot of the worlds continents.. Possibly there were darker evils existing in this world before this event and it was a devine act to bring on the new world. As a lot of cultures in more modern history seemed to have began directly after these floods cleared up. Whatever the case, realise the world was not the same place during those times so we cant be sure what actually happened and why. But noahs ark I believe is more on the myth side of the true story, most animals would have survived by living on higher land for a while..

A lot of cultures versions of the story are about them using canoos to get back to land... Dont take the glorified christian story too literally.. A lot of stories in the bible are mainly there to teach lessons more so than record history.

I think you'll find his name was 'Jobe'.. And yeah, once again.. I believe this to be a fictional folk tale to teach people that no matter how hard life gets, never lose faith in god because everything happens for a reason.

I'm asking.

And possibly god is your toenail clippings, possibly he isnt.

You made that statement a lot more definite than I would have thought was deemibly acceptable by someone who says he believes in nothing.

People go to hell because they commit sins and DONT repent, some even dont get saved, and if they do repent they dont mean it with their hearts

....What is a sin?

Mad Dog 09-26-06 10:41 AM

jobe, jacob it's all the same

and i heard about the theory of global flooding to connect to what ya saying Nos but thing is i jus don't understand why God himself would go against a commandment that HE himself told Moses

Thou Shalt Not Kill.

If these people were tainted, they'd goto hell and i also find it hard to believe that in the whole of civilisation that only 2 people (Noah & his wife) were the only fully committed christians ya get me...

and what i originally meant by forgiveness through God was that you can be as much of a good samaritan as possible never doing ANYTHING bad throughout your life and still goto hell coz you didn't say ya hail mary's or goto church every sunday...but if a child rapist comverted into becoming a christian, he'd be guarenteed entrance at the pearly gates...

He didnt kill everything except 2 of each animal
it was 7 of each animal, 2 of each unclean animal
