How many sons does God have?

well, im pretty sure those that havent had a chance to hear about Jesus dont go to hell. God is a god of inclusion since anyone can accept Jesus.

Yes, and after you see your offspring choose the path of eternal pain and suffering you would let him suffer eternally instead of doing what we would do even for dumb animals. You would not end his or her suffering.

I cannot believe that you as a human would do this.
If you would I fell sorry for you.
If God would then He is not worth following because He would be treating us with less compassion than we would give a dog.
If this is your God, keep him away from anything good. He is evil.

Epicurus summed that up quite concisely in the Epicurean Paradox:

If God is willing to prevent evil but is not able to prevent evil, then he is not omnipotent.
If God is able to prevent evil but is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not benevolent.
Evil is either in accordance with God?s intention or contrary to it.
Thus, either God cannot prevent evil or he does not want to prevent evil.
Therefore, it follows that God is either not omnipotent or he is not benevolent. He cannot be both omnipotent and benevolent.

God created the knowledge of evil for a very good reason.

Actually, according to Isaiah 45:7, God creates evil which gives the ring of truth to the Epicurean Paradox where it states, ?Therefore, it follows that God is either not omnipotent or he is not benevolent. He cannot be both omnipotent and benevolent.? :patriot:

we can only guess and go by the prophets as to the attribute of God and how He uses them.

Sorry, I would rather not take the words of ill-educated barbarians that thought the world was flat. We only have a 2600 year old book of Bronze Age superstition and mythology to tell us what the prophets said. A book that was pasted together by Yhwhist priests during or after the Babylonian captivity utilizing borrowed material from older religions or history that for the most part seems to be made up to add glory to the worship of YHWH! To base your belief system on such an unsupported document is much like basing your beliefs on Grimm's Fairy Tales. :patriot:

As to their level of sophistication, I would say that they were very sophisticated for their time.

Not really?the Persians, Egyptians, and Babylonians were fairly advanced in astronomy (at least in the observation portion of it) and their math was as advanced as a math can get without the concept of zero. The Hebrews (Jews) were aware of these disciplines, but there is no evidence that any Hebrew contributed anything to them. The Greeks at this time were just starting to formulate their studies of the real sciences. Before the Greek philosophers/scientists, the standard treatment of the universe was a ?Terra-centric? system consisting of a flat earth with the moon, sun, stars and planets traveling through the skies and sinking beneath the earth to repeat the cycle again the next day. The Greeks formulated the round earth, the solar-centric universe and the existence of atoms. None of this has anything to do with the Jewish book of mythology or the word of the prophets contained in there. These folk (the prophets) were of the opinion that the world was flat, that the firmament was like a dome or tent, that the world sat on pillars, so why would their words mean anything? As for democracy, it came into being during that period, but not in Palestine or anywhere near there. It came into being in Athens of the 6th century BCE and provided the model for the democratic practices of the Roman Republic and much later the United States of America (Yes Virginia, America is founded on Pagan principles). This leaves us with what I originally said, ?Sorry, I would rather not take the words of ill-educated barbarians that thought the world was flat.

None of which have anything to do with the Hebrews or the bible. :patriot:

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:18

For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

There's your answer, he has one son and one son only, his name is Jesus.

If you believe in the divinity of Jesus, do you not have a problem with God using Mary to reproduce a hybrid God. Or reproducing Himself through His mother. Incest. Strange since God had already frowned on the angel human reproduction of the Giants of old. It is also hard to imagine Jesus taking a 9 month holiday from the Godhead of the trinity.

If Jesus was God then does that not negate His sacrifice on the cross. Gods do not die.

Do you know why Jesus died for you? He was beaten beyond recognition for you and suffered for you and died to pay the penalty for your sins as well as everyones. He rose from the grave on the third day and appeared to many people then ascended into heaven. He is not dead my friend, he is very much alive.

You are right...God's do not die... They conquer death.

You make my point.
If Jesus was divine then no sacrifice for Him.
