I Don't Get How God Is Supposed To Be A Loving God...

...but gives children to animals.

Police: 3-year-old girl kept in closet, offered for sex

I remember a song in Sunday School about how Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, but for the life of me I don't remember the teacher ever explaining just how that love includes giving the innocent babies of the world to people who go out of their way to make those same beloved children suffer.

Any God that allows this to go on isn't a god worth worshipping.

At what point do you want God stepping forward? I mean, God told us not to have sex outside of marriage. If the mother did not have sex outside of marriage, the child wouldn't have been born, and never abused. Are you advocating that God step in and stop any type of sex that occurs outside of marriage--and is not between a man and a woman?

Why is it that we humans want to turn our backs on God's ways, but when our own actions and mores bring about the unspeakable, we feel God should take the blame?

This is typical of people, they refuse to follow God's law and then wonder why bad things happen

God created us with free will. We chose sin over Him. Now we live with the consequences.

Think of it like parenting. You raise your kids, provide for them, but, often they rebel and get in trouble or do the wrong things. Sometimes they come away unscathed, sometimes not. But you can't control them their entire lives.....
 
Send this to Trump.....and execute these two worthless beings

It even gets a lot worse than that:

1. God drowns the whole earth. In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

2. God kills half a million people. In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn. In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.

4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them. In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.

5. Genocide after genocide after genocide. In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity. In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)

7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god. In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God’s rocks. In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.

9. God burns two cities to death. In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot’s wife for looking back at her burning home.

10. God has 42 children mauled by bears. In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears “maul” the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means “to tear apart.”)

11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at roll call. In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.

12. 3,000 crushed to death. In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.

13. A concubine raped and dismembered. In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands to rape a godly master’s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-rape her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.

14. Child sacrifice. In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites.

15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet. In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.

16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods. In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point. In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.

18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brother’s widow. In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s widow.

19. God threatens forced cannibalism. In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them eat their own children.

20. The coming slaughter. According to Revelation 9:7-19, God’s got more evil coming. God will make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the earth’s population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.


In Other Words The whole thing was written by old timers who were trying to gain recognition and lived up to their sheep and camel herding experiences. Witch hunts and holy miracles keep folks busy :biggrin:

Holly hell. So he didn't REALLY rest on the Sabbath.

Add to this, he watched with arms folded as 12 million men, women, and children were marched into sealed concrete rooms and gassed to death, most of them knowing what was happening and screaming for mercy. The young children were picked up and tossed on top of the adults that were packed in like sardines so as to get as many in one gassing as possible. A few survivors said when they opened the doors they would see mothers standing upright dead, holding their baby in their arms dead, both purple and the eyes open.

If you can come up with an excuse for this god then you are the best lawyer in the universe and Satan is an apprenctice.
Without consequences, there is no free will. What you are demanding is for God to step in to prevent the consequences of evil. He doesn't need excuses, the ones that need excuses are the ones doing the evil. And once you get started, where do you stop? Thousands die every year from drunk driving. Should God step in and guide every drunk driver's car safely home? Should He step in and undo the damage of long term drug usage? What about sky diving? Should He make sure every parachute opens safely and no one gets hurt? Should every bridge jumper land safely instead of dying? What you want is paradise and freedom from consequences, and this isn't it.

Bottom line, we made this mess, we have to live in it, for now.
 
Allow me if you will. I am not a pastor and probably will not be able to explain this at all but I have studied the Bible.

Ok. We were born dying from the very moment we were conceived in our mother's womb. With each heartbeat we have one less heartbeat to go. God condemned all of us to death already. The Bible states that it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgement.

God is SPIRIT. His thoughts are higher than ours. We have a carnal mind. Death to us is something to be feared and dreaded. That is our human nature. Our life is but a blink of God's eye. God hates sin. He cannot abide sin. He was merciful in that he allowed us 70 or 80 years to live in a sinful world but gave us death to escape this sinful world.

Since all are subject to death anyway, what difference does it really make when we die? Is a child better off to live a life of sin or to be taken out of this sinful world early to awaken in a world without sin? I say "YES".

As in Adam, all shall die. As in Christ, all shall be made alive. Yes indeed, all will live again. We have that promise. Jesus conquered the grave for us and gave us hope.

The Book of Isaiah in Chapter 35 gives a snapshot of what the world to come will be like. Satan will be locked away and even the desert will bloom. The knowledge of God will go out unto all the world from Jerusalem. It will be a paradise in which we will all be awakened from our slumber.

All the people including those in the flood whom God killed were deeply sinful people. The Bible states their every though was sin. God could not abide the sin so in His mercy He took them out of their sin. These too, will awaken again in the glorious Kingdom that Christ will establish upon the earth upon His return. Everything will again be as it was before the Fall and before Satan was allowed onto the scene. There will be joy in the morning.

Now you folks who think you know better than your Creator and find fault with the way He accomplishes things: Why heap coals upon your own heads? You may glory for now in believing you know more than God and curse Him for all He has done, but the day will dawn when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. Yes, even yours.

God didn't have a hand in it. That's the work of Satan.

In the old testament there's little difference in god and satan. It wouldn't make any difference to me one way or the other.....I'll be wanting to have a little reunion with all my old drinking buddies from 50-60 years ago.
Whaddya mean "no difference?"

Your mind simply builds mental scaffolding to support your belief in the face of ANY evidence that that belief is wholly without merit.

YOUR need to believe overrides reality.

Send this to Trump.....and execute these two worthless beings

It even gets a lot worse than that:

1. God drowns the whole earth. In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

2. God kills half a million people. In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn. In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.

4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them. In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.

5. Genocide after genocide after genocide. In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity. In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)

7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god. In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God’s rocks. In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.

9. God burns two cities to death. In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot’s wife for looking back at her burning home.

10. God has 42 children mauled by bears. In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears “maul” the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means “to tear apart.”)

11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at roll call. In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.

12. 3,000 crushed to death. In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.

13. A concubine raped and dismembered. In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands to rape a godly master’s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-rape her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.

14. Child sacrifice. In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites.

15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet. In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.

16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods. In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point. In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.

18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brother’s widow. In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s widow.

19. God threatens forced cannibalism. In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them eat their own children.

20. The coming slaughter. According to Revelation 9:7-19, God’s got more evil coming. God will make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the earth’s population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.

Holly hell. So he didn't REALLY rest on the Sabbath.

Add to this, he watched with arms folded as 12 million men, women, and children were marched into sealed concrete rooms and gassed to death, most of them knowing what was happening and screaming for mercy. The young children were picked up and tossed on top of the adults that were packed in like sardines so as to get as many in one gassing as possible. A few survivors said when they opened the doors they would see mothers standing upright dead, holding their baby in their arms dead, both purple and the eyes open.

If you can come up with an excuse for this god then you are the best lawyer in the universe and Satan is an apprenctice.
Without consequences, there is no free will. What you are demanding is for God to step in to prevent the consequences of evil. He doesn't need excuses, the ones that need excuses are the ones doing the evil. And once you get started, where do you stop? Thousands die every year from drunk driving. Should God step in and guide every drunk driver's car safely home? Should He step in and undo the damage of long term drug usage? What about sky diving? Should He make sure every parachute opens safely and no one gets hurt? Should every bridge jumper land safely instead of dying? What you want is paradise and freedom from consequences, and this isn't it.

Bottom line, we made this mess, we have to live in it, for now.

How does a 'perfect' being create such an imperfect creation.

Your mind simply builds mental scaffolding to support your belief in the face of ANY evidence that that belief is wholly without merit.

YOUR need to believe overrides reality.

Which is also why we have Isis.
He created perfection with the allowance for rebellion. It sounds like you would have preferred He create mankind as a bunch of robots, programmed to follow Him, with no choice allowed. That's obviously not what He did.
 
Yes, God created them subject to vanity. It was vanity that caused the Fall:

Rom_8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

He purposely creates some to dishonor. Those created to dishonor are created thus to serve as an example and a teaching tool for those chosen to partake of the First Resurrection and become the Sons of God. These will come forth from the First Resurrection as spirit beings while the vast majority of mankind will be raised again in human bodies.

Rom_9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
 
...but gives children to animals.

Police: 3-year-old girl kept in closet, offered for sex

I remember a song in Sunday School about how Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, but for the life of me I don't remember the teacher ever explaining just how that love includes giving the innocent babies of the world to people who go out of their way to make those same beloved children suffer.

Any God that allows this to go on isn't a god worth worshipping.


This satan ruled system, must be for now--It isn't what God wanted--satan and the two rebels in Eden caused this system. Issues were raised against God in Eden--they are being proven wrong, once and for all time--God knows exactly what he is doing and what is needed.

Yeah we hear this 'free will' nonsense all the time, it is THE favorite dodge for 'believers'.

If 'god' is all knowing he knows what every single person will do in the future without error. He knows who will go to hell before he creates them. Yet he creates them anyway.

He creates humans TO go to hell.

The circular illogic it takes to believe in this nonsense is just a Mt Everest of steaming crap. And that goes for all 'religions'.

God didn't have a hand in it. That's the work of Satan.

In the old testament there's little difference in god and satan. It wouldn't make any difference to me one way or the other.....I'll be wanting to have a little reunion with all my old drinking buddies from 50-60 years ago.

I can't believe God destroyed all those rapists, thieves and murderers in a flood and started mankind from scratch.

8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God’s rocks. In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.

9. God burns two cities to death. In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot’s wife for looking back at her burning home.

10. God has 42 children mauled by bears. In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears “maul” the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means “to tear apart.”)

11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at roll call. In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.

12. 3,000 crushed to death. In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.

13. A concubine raped and dismembered. In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands to rape a godly master’s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-rape her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.

14. Child sacrifice. In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites.

15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet. In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.

16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods. In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point. In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.

18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brother’s widow. In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s widow.

19. God threatens forced cannibalism. In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them eat their own children.

20. The coming slaughter. According to Revelation 9:7-19, God’s got more evil coming. God will make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the earth’s population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.

Holly hell. So he didn't REALLY rest on the Sabbath.

Add to this, he watched with arms folded as 12 million men, women, and children were marched into sealed concrete rooms and gassed to death, most of them knowing what was happening and screaming for mercy. The young children were picked up and tossed on top of the adults that were packed in like sardines so as to get as many in one gassing as possible. A few survivors said when they opened the doors they would see mothers standing upright dead, holding their baby in their arms dead, both purple and the eyes open.

If you can come up with an excuse for this god then you are the best lawyer in the universe and Satan is an apprenctice.
Without consequences, there is no free will. What you are demanding is for God to step in to prevent the consequences of evil. He doesn't need excuses, the ones that need excuses are the ones doing the evil. And once you get started, where do you stop? Thousands die every year from drunk driving. Should God step in and guide every drunk driver's car safely home? Should He step in and undo the damage of long term drug usage? What about sky diving? Should He make sure every parachute opens safely and no one gets hurt? Should every bridge jumper land safely instead of dying? What you want is paradise and freedom from consequences, and this isn't it.

Bottom line, we made this mess, we have to live in it, for now.

How does a 'perfect' being create such an imperfect creation.

Your mind simply builds mental scaffolding to support your belief in the face of ANY evidence that that belief is wholly without merit.

YOUR need to believe overrides reality.

Which is also why we have Isis.
He created perfection with the allowance for rebellion. It sounds like you would have preferred He create mankind as a bunch of robots, programmed to follow Him, with no choice allowed. That's obviously not what He did.

Yeah we hear this 'free will' nonsense all the time, it is THE favorite dodge for 'believers'.

If 'god' is all knowing he knows what every single person will do in the future without error. He knows who will go to hell before he creates them. Yet he creates them anyway.

He creates humans TO go to hell.

The circular illogic it takes to believe in this nonsense is just a Mt Everest of steaming crap. And that goes for all 'religions'.

You are given free will,how you live your life determines your after life. I couldn't care less whether you believe or don't believe so you're just wasting my time spewing about something you are clueless about
 
It even gets a lot worse than that:

1. God drowns the whole earth. In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

2. God kills half a million people. In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn. In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.

4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them. In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.

5. Genocide after genocide after genocide. In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity. In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)

7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god. In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God’s rocks. In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.

God doesn't know what anyone will choose in their future, except by reading the heart right then, he does not know in advance. Only teachers of darkness teach that-- Gods word is clear in the nt---God desires all to repent--that is his hope--he wouldn't have that hope if he already knew, and besides that--this whole system would just be a waste of time if everyones outcome was already decided.
 
By the time God flooded the earth there were only 8 human beings whose bloodline had not been tainted by demons. The men, women, children and animals that were destroyed were hybrids, and really nasty hybrids at that.
God gave us Eden, a perfect playground for His children, and we screwed it up right from the git go. Even so, He will create it for us again after our free will takes us to the brink of destruction.
God never said you wouldn't experience trouble here on earth, He said He'd get you through it. This vengeful God, just waiting to kill you if you step out of line does not exist. There are no lines where God is concerned. There is no behavior He won't forgive if you ask to be forgiven.
I had a wonderful, really wonderful Daddy, but if I disobeyed, I was punished in some manner. And He loved me more than anyone on earth. Our Heavenly Father not only forgives us, but forgives us while we are in the act. And if you accept his gift of salvation,< (where He came here and took our punishment in our place) then He forgives all of our trespasses at once, and erases them from His memory. To Him, you're perfect. All He wants is to love and spoil His children. Let Him. :)

You are mistaken sir-- Only repented sin is forgiven. Repentence = the stopping of the doing of a sin.
Hebrews 10:26--no sacrifice left( Jesus') for any who practice sin.
Jesus says the same basically--Matt 7:22-23

1John 3-- a mirror--- teaches who are Gods children and who are the devils children, it teaches----Its impossible for a child of God to practice even one sin.
So I would say, when Jesus said a few times--GO SIN NO MORE-- he meant it.

God is the Alpha and the Omega. He sees the end from the beginning, and proved it by making 1/4 of the Bible prophecy. Not only does he know your every move, as far as your sins (past, present and future) are concerned, He paid for every single one of them 2,000 years ago.
Because His desire is to see all repent, doesn't mean He doesn't already know who will and who won't. That some won't doesn't change His desire, or our ability to make the decision.

God created hell for demons and their leader. He created Eden for humans. Then at great cost, made it possible for us to avoid hell by replacing our sin with His son's righteousness, and then He and His Son handed it to us as a gift. What more do you require?

You would be better off listening to what Jesus taught on the matter-Matthew7:21-23--only those living now to do Gods will, get to enter his kingdom--Jesus taught it will be-FEW
a Worker of iniquity = a practicer of sin--this is judgement scenario--one does not want to hear--Get away from me, I must confess I never even knew you. these words are truth.
A righteous person practices not sinning-Ephesians 4:22-24

I just punch like a guy. I'm really a little girl.
To Re-pent means to return to the highest level. As in Penthouse. You are a child of the Most High. That was your highest level. That is where you started out, and where you return. It isn't about behavior modification, but about heart transformation.
Have you ever done something that you wish more than anything you hadn't done? You hate that you did it and would never do it again? THAT is repentance. You have had a change of heart from when you committed the deed, and that leads to a shift in your behavior.

If you look at the Exodus, not only did the Jews not repent, they whined and sinned all the way to Sinai and God forgave them while they were sinning and provided for them without one sorry or thank you being uttered. That is our loving Father.
It is impossible for a child of God not to sin. All have sinned and fallen short, and that includes the sins a Christian will commit tomorrow. We have a sin nature. David, Moses, Paul, Samson, Peter, you, me. Samson belong to God from birth, but it was his death that awarded him a spot in God's Hall of Faith. His behavior was atrocious. Same with David, the apple of God's eye. He belonged to God from the womb, but committed adultery and murder anyway. It was David's repentant heart that God loved so.

Sin is a blood issue. We caught it from our grandparents, Adam and Eve, and the only thing that removes it is a pure blood transfusion. That was accomplished at the cross.
