Proof of God

How about some evidence-based, genuine factual support for your claims?

Although you do not consider it as evidence. It is a genuine photograph of the Holy Spirit. I am not the liar that you are.

Cain no doubt married one of his sisters. As did Seth and the rest of Adam's sons.

I don't see any of that in the scriptures. Why "no doubt"? Seems to be a lot of doubt and disagreement about it.

If you actually believe the scriptures support infinite punishment for finite sin, or that the soul is immortal, then I can't be of much further help.

I'm just posting passages from the scripture. If it says 'eternal,' that's what it says.

As for inconsistencies other than pure straw men, I can't think of any on your part But since you keep posting the straw men, I imagine some will show up eventually.

Please point out the straw men that I've made.

And as a building is in ruins after a fire, so is the soul. Man can restore a building after a fire. But only God and His Son can restore a soul.

that this mythical god allegedly made man, then set up a system of severe punishment because what it created didn't live up to its demands and expectations, viz, worship. Narcissistic, petty and unimaginably cruel, this god.

A building if left to prolonged fire, it does not merely burn out a few walls and windows, the building collapses upon itself, it is reduced to ashes, a state where no restoration may take place. Subjecting something to prolonged fire destroys entirely.

What do you make of Death and Hades being thrown into the fiery lake my friend?

I suppose one would have to use his power of reason as there were only 2 humans created as the first pair. If you have doubts, perhaps it's time for you to use your power of reason.

A 1994 study found a mean excess mortality with inbreeding among first cousins of 4.4%.[116] Children of parent-child or sibling-sibling unions are at increased risk compared to cousin-cousin unions. Studies suggest that 20-36% of these children will die or have major disability due to the inbreeding.[9] A study of 29 offspring resulting from brother-sister or father-daughter incest found that 20 had congenital abnormalities, including four directly attributable to autosomal recessive alleles.[117]

You don't seem at all interested in what the original texts actually say, just what others have told you they say. You fall into the same trap as the gullible churchgoer, just with a different outcome.

I don't know if this applies in your case, though I suspect it may:
Many people look at world conditions and rightly conclude this world is not under control of a God of love. But there is a straw man at work in that perception. The world is currently not under God's management. If it were, Satan would not have been able to offer the world to Jesus. Most preachers neglect to teach this to their congregations; so, if you have failed to make this distinction, you would be placing the blame on Jehovah for birth defects, and all manner of human suffering. Go back and review your posts to see if you may have done this a few dozen times in this thread.

You could still say the Bible is not for you and I would understand that. You could still say it does not prove God exists, and you would have legitimate argument. But to continue to fault the Bible for things it does not say, well that is what straw men are about.

And ensure your mascara doesn't run.

If the soul that dies perishes with his thoughts, what punishment could the putative God do to man other than not give him life once more whether on Earth or in Heaven? is that severe? If you don't mind me being a little playful, it is only as severe a punishment as that which the flying spaghetti monster dishes out, or Zeus, or indeed my brothers pet chicken.

As for the soul, I've never seen evidence for such a thing.
