Turning Lot's wife into a pillar of salt because she turned around to look at the town she was told to leave. Sure she was told not to look back but this clearly demonstrates not only god's anger problem but also suggests he has a problem with insecurity. Incidently, Lot's wife had looked back to see the destruction god was exacting on her town of Sodom/Gomorrah...he killed everyone in town except Lot's family...except, except Lot's wife.

Don't you think that in the case of Lot's wife, God was showing how high the price of disobedience was? Don't you think that Lot's wife was longing back for the things of the city and deserved the punishment beacause she was longing back for the evil things in the city which God was destroying?

Then, one of my favs, God does his psychotic game show host routine and convinces Abraham to kill his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Just before Abraham slices his own son's throat god stops him and tells him he was just kidding...use a goat instead.

In the case of Abraham and Isaac, don't you think God was testing Abraham's faith? Don't you think that God was just testing him to see if he would be obedient? Don't you think that the whole story was simbolic of what was to happen later in the new testament? I mean that Christ who is the 'lamb of God' would die in our place on the cross in the same way as the ram was slaughtered in Isaac's place?

What a lovely lesson. If you disobey God HE WILL KILL YOU. Here I was thinking hell was bad enough but no, we also run the risk of having our time here on earth cut short by extremely high sodium levels. As for her longing for evil things in the city...your guess is as good as mine as the Bible makes no mention of her state of mind.

You know, if God ...[text shortened]... ch less my faith. What..."Thou shalt not kill, unless I tell you to?" wtf, man?

It's about how the Bible doesn't really talk about homosexuality at all...

I'm not sure why anyone, including Jesus, would assume that Lot's wife was trying to save her life by looking back. For one thing, she 'looked' back not turned back. For another, 'back' is where the fire and brimstone was happening...it seems to me that turning back towards God's holy slaughter is hardly an example of someone trying to save their ...[text shortened]... w if you scrap the dilligence and just believe what you are told in Sunday School.

No, don't go there. It is yet another hate filled diatribe against homosexuals filled with poor research and blatant lies. Here is a quote...

"The innate destructive nature of homosexuality makes loving,
monogamous homosexual relations nothing more than an
illusion."

My friends who have been in a loving, monogamous homosexual relationship for over 15 years will be suprised to learn of this! Good grief.

Gospel of Thomas

101) <Jesus said,> "Whoever does not hate his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to Me. And whoever does [not] love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a [disciple] to Me. For My mother [gave me falsehood], but [My] true [Mother] gave me life."

bear in mind that the word "falsehood" is probably in the sense of the "hylic" Error .i.e matter.
