Zone1 Another question to ponder.

[TNHarley]

Why don't you make a gas lighting OP on that one too and I'll correct your errors like I did in this one?

You corrected nothing, fake christian.

 

[ding]

No, narcissist.

I knew you were going to write that.

 

[ding]

You corrected nothing, fake christian.

Sure I did. I told you that God did not send a flood to destroy almost all of mankind. What part of that did you not understand?

 

[ding]

fake christian.

And by fake Christian you mean someone who does not read allegorical accounts literally. Sorry, bro, your gas lighting doesn't work on me. I'm 50 steps ahead of you.

 

[TNHarley]

I knew you were going to write that.

A narcissist would..

Ignoring the bible and inserting your own personal beliefs doesnt do anything.

You pick and choose what to believe. Youre a fake.

I'm not ignoring the bible. It's been known for 1700 years these accounts were allegorical descriptions of historical events. Try googling it.

 

[ding]

No. I've explained it to you in a way that makes sense. How does my explanation not make sense?

I am literally arguing the same thing you are arguing which is that God didn't send a flood to destroy almost all of mankind.

You're just upset that I am destroying your gas lighting party.

"some people" but that isnt what the bible says. Nor is it what Jesus implied.

Nope, you have done no such thing.
You just think you have because your mind wont accept anything else. Its part of your condition

Of course I have. I'm not arguing anything different than what you are arguing. I am arguing that God did not send a flood to destroy almost all of mankind. Are you arguing that God did?

No thats Satan Lucifer brought enlightenment. Christians dont want enlightenment they e=want obedience. So they changed Lucifer into Satan

No. That is the testimony of Scripture.

So god sent jesus (himself) to save us from himself. He did that so he could forgive sins. Atonement.
Why didnt he do that, instead of the flood? Why did he kill the entire planet and almost all the animals, when he could have just sent jesus earlier? Did the omniscient one just not think of jesus yet? Or is he just a freaking psychopath?
This is just another pondering that leaves me in the "WTF" category.

Humankind is generally understood not to be the only of God's intelligent creations.

That said, humankind was the only one of His creations to disobey Him, see the garden of Eden.

Because God is a God of love and not force, choice is the central factor of our existence.

Brings us to Jesus where we, individually, have to choose Him.

This is a very short and simplistic form of the answer, but hopefully satisfies what you wanted to know.

There is no testimony only what you think it means when you cant even read the language. The Pentateuch is a Jewish work. There is no Devil in Judaism.. Consequently the belief in the devil doesnt come from the bible.
It comes from Zoroastrianism or dualism.
Feel free to believe in Satan but he isnt in the bible. Hes in your mind

(Job 1:6) "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them."

(Job. 1:7) "And the LORD said unto Satan, whnece comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."

(Zechariah 3:1) "And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him."

(Zechariah 3:2) "And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee:...."

Whose mind is this in?

What's wrong with being proud?

And no, pride is not necessarily a sin. Pride can cause one to sin, but pride in and of itself is not a sin.

There is a distinction between sinful pride and positive feelings like satisfaction or self-respect. Sinful pride is characterized by arrogance and a belief that you are superior to others or that you don't need God.
