@Glennn,
Quote: Yeah, cuz that would be wrong on all levels, huh. But your all-knowing, all-seeing god does just that. So, by your own reckoning, the god doesn't even measure up to the level of human decency, let alone divine love. But you've been conditioned to view such hatred of children as--of all things--the nature of a loving and just god.
Have I really? And what is the level of human decency? And what is the level of my God’s decency?
Matthew 25, 31; When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the righteous people on his right and the others on his left. Then the King will say to the people on his right, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.’
“The righteous will then answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these members of my family, you did it for me!’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Away from me, you that are under God's curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels! I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a drink; I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in prison but you would not take care of me.’
“Then they will answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and would not help you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.’ These, then, will be sent off to eternal punishment, but the righteous will go to eternal life.”
The punishment that is eternal is the second death, which is the death of the mind that survives the first death, which is that of the body.
Quote: Apparently, this god that you admire hasn't changed since the day it ordered Moses to kill babies, kids, and, well, everybody to appease its anger.
I know, that on the first day of Passover, the angel of death passed over Egypt and killed all the first born males in the land who were not protected by the blood of the one year old sacrificial lambs,. which was an act of justice for his people, whose male babies were ordered by the Hyksos King to be exposed to the crocodiles in the Nile River, but I don’t know anything about God ordering ‘
MOSES’ to kill babies and kids..
Quote: How do you feel about nutanyahoo's hatred of Gazan babies and kids. Do you think he has a right to kill them at will?
Unlike yourself I have neither the right nor the ability to judge whether he actually hates all the Philistine kids and babies or whether he actually deliberately targets them, I leave that to Him who sits on the throne of the Most-High in the creation.
I tell you now that you can lie
There is a time to steal
There is a time to disobey
There is a time to kill
There is a work that must be done
Upon the Sabbath day
No one who understands the Lord
Would teach another way
For the spirit judges--not on what you do
The heart and soul of man--He searches through
It's the reason-- why the deeds of man are done
This is what my Lord God judges on.
