No where have you seen me say that. You should take that verse to heart.

However, given your responses it seemed reasonably clear that you support judging a fellow human being as being unfit to live.
It also seemed reasonably clear that you support judging a fellow human being who is in a loving, caring, same-sex relationship as unfit to attend their church, unfit to lead their congregation, unfit for marriage, etc.
Yet, somehow you believe it is I who should "take that verse to heart". Fascinating.

wanted a conversation, instead just a reason to accuse me of something. If I
ever respond to you again, it will be because I didn't see whose post it was.

Originally posted by KellyJayAt least I explained exactly why it seemed that it is you who should take it to heart - giving you every chance to defend yourself. Given that you didn't refute it, I can only surmise that I did not misinterpret what you've written and that I am correct in my assessment.

You on the other hand, claim that it is I who should take it to heart, offer no explanation as to why - giving me no chance to defend myself. What's more, you pretend that you were somehow treated unfairly by this, yet if anyone was, it was me.
You're really something. I guess I'll have to surmise that your pride got the better of you.
Originally posted by RBHILLOh, I get it now. You were supplying your fill-in-the-blank answer to the thread title/original post. It would have been easier to put into context if you had gone to the first post on this thread and then clicked on "Reply & Quote" before supplying your answer.
Well he is going to judge the world right?

Why wait? He is all knowing isn't he?
Hmmm, I may be onto something here. This god character hasn't been around much lately has he? When he created this little ball of rock and iron he was round every day then it was only special occasions like some oaf wanting some tablets or something. Then he'd send the boys round instead of putting in a personal appearance. Yep, he's got bored and buggered off to do something more interesting.

demand proof would it not? How or why would anyone trust that type of
judgment, (I say your going to do this even though you didn't so your guilty!)
The thing about judgment day, all of us are going to be witnesses, we will see
all things and nothing will be hidden. People may think they got away with
some crime or sin only to have it put on full display on judgment day, unless
something or someone wipes clean your life of sin you'll give an account for all
and pay in full. Those that didn't act and should have will stand before those
that had every reason not to act and did, nothing will be hidden.

Originally posted by caissad4Yep, the only way to approach these universal type questions is to point that the only way forward (if that is possible 🙂 ) , is to treat the universe/God as a paradox.
I believe that GOD is the entire universe or GOD does not exist.
At least he said "what" god is and not "who". Thats one hurdle that many just cant seem to get past.
Originally posted by KeplerSome people have ideas on whats out there, and not just crackpots like me.
I'm not trying to "prove" god exists or doesn't. It just occurred to me that if we are to get beyond the shouting God exists! No he doesn't! stage we need to have some idea just what we are talking about. In addition, it's a big universe out there and there is no knowing what we might come into contact with. Would there be a point at which we accord the title ...[text shortened]... rg?
Your idea that belief maketh the god is interesting. Can human belief create a god?
BTW remember that god is just a word, like 'love' or something like that.
My girlie used to tell me how much she loved me, everyday nearly in the last two weeks of our 7 1/2 year r'ship. Then she ran off with my best friend.
You can talk all you want but the be able to make your words count is where its at.
So to make sense of what "God" is you basically need to work it out for yourself. Others can guide you but if you cant put the pieces together ,(on your own), then it's just more wasted words.
