I'm here and I have been visiting with my only grandchild and his parents.
I am sorry to tell you all but this is the most beautiful child ever to be born. :wink:
Gel, Aristotle huh, would he say the glass it half full or half empty. It can be both. And aristotle was just another man in my eyes.. philosophy, just a pondering after the truth is not good enough for me.
Terry, sorry so see your opinion of God is so grevious.
What has he done to you? (You don't have to answer that.)
I know there is a Living God, and I believe I have found him.
There is Gods judgment and there is mans judgment.
Man has degrees for what is worse or what is non violent, or what is more deranged, or what is more sophisticated regarding good , evil, bad , insane etc. Man is good, some people. But it would be my wild guess at this time because the Bible states that God cannot look upon sin, that for some reason supernatural , outside our realm but inside the realm of God , that he cannot look upon sin. There seems to be a seperation of God and people when a person is sinning without the faith and belief of Jesus. It states, Jesus is the intercessor between man and God.
The so called goodness of a person is a fallacy. Mankind does not have the ability to see inside his pure persona. To a degree we so, but beyone that, beyond being convicted of a sin is not within the power of man. Once a conviction starts to take place within a person, it is up to the person to allow the HS to intercede and straighten the person out. Even to the point of the inner core of a person. To put away inner filth and to not cover inner filth with outer beauty or appearances.
To give note to some things in the Bible whether considered good or evil , right or wrong scriptures, is to pay heed to God and yet refuse to recognize in the conscious his true existance. It is a choice to give him glory or not. And we give God glory through faith.
Quote:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the KNOWLEDGE of sin. -Romans 3
It is your own knowledge that has blinded you. It would have been better for a non believer to never acquire knowledge if that is what you do with it. Use it as a reason to
doubt 
God.
The Heavens declare the glory of God. Look at the magnetic field around the earth. It is everywhere, it cannot be seen, but it can be felt and used. Why do we call the sun, which is the brightest of all things man knows, the sun? Is it because the sun is the closest thing in our known world that we see daily and it is the brightest, which is similar to the qualities of The Son. Why do we measure time, which God created and is it by chance or design that time is measured from the time that Christ died. God will have his will done regardless. It is already spoken, no worries. Mere man, pitiful in his existance. His knowledge and pride is his destruction. For it is a lack of accurate knowledge that people perish.
[My people are destroyed for LACK OF knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge]
How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God.
Quote:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient-Romans 1.
are on the eyes of the unbeliever. I too was once blind, but, now I can see. There lies the glory that eludes too many.
Scripture says they will not. 
For my Father in Heaven has told you this.
