Yes God does dominion over souls, BUT, if God is on such a higher plane than we are, wouldn't it stand to reason He'd be above such things as the Bible claims He is capable of?

Otherwise if He's not, He's no better than we are!

Depends upon what reason you refer to. It stands to my reason that he is above us and that he sometimes sends message through us and our actions.

You're the only one we hear speak of God in that way.

By the way, where's "up there"?

Where exactly do you think God is?

Sitting on some throne in a place called heaven combing his beard like Santa Claus?

That sure sounds like a Zeus-flavored mythology to me.

All the biblical authors have done is move Mt Olympus into story book forest. Other than that, it's just Zeus reincarnated.

You know there's one argument that almost seems like a crutch to me in terms of Christianity. It's the whole notion of: "His ways are not our ways".

Isn't that a little conveiniently absolving this God of any wrong doing? After all how can anyone argue that?

I did not ask you if you had been Joshua. I asked you.

The thing is, any spirit or demon can appear to a person and claim to be God and order them to kill someone. How can you be so sure who they really are?

Also, you have no way of knowing if a person is "soul dead" you would just be following orders.

Imagine yourself with a sword. Imagine a mother and baby. Your orders are to kill them. Your orders are not from God but from Joshua or some other authority that claims to hear God speak. (George Bush perhaps.)

If you are telling me, that it would not be against your moral compass to kill that mother and baby and that you would actually do it, then it is people like you, (nice "God fearing" people,) who horrify and scare the hell out of me.

I get my moral compass directly FROM GOD that dwells within. I don't take orders from anyone else. I trust only my inner God.

That is my personal relationship with God.

What was all so bad about the flood?

Inocent children = Went straight to heaven. Didn't have to deal with physical or emotional pain. Didn't have to deal with diseases, didn't have to deal with anything foul. The only existence they knew was pretty much in the paradise of heaven. Again what is so foul about that? So they had to deal with a bit of time while they drown. That little time, give it most 10 hours is a very small amount of time to eternity.



Or bush lied. Claiming that to get the support of the country. The largest organized religion in the USA has always been Christianity. Yes it is dwindling down in this day and age. But nevertheless the USA was/is a Christian country. Only recently in the past 20 years or so has it been God being taken out of it. Pledge of allegiance for example.

God is in heaven. God has separated "earth" and heaven. God has put up a veil to hide heaven so man could not view it's beauty.

No, God dwells in Paradise.

God didn't instruct anyone to "murder" anyone. Murder is unlawfully killing of someone(s). Again if a judge tells the executioner to execute so and so for such crimes. Did that executioner or judge commit murder? No, for again murder is unlawful killing of someone. If the law states that you will be murdered for such and such, and you do that. Then of course you will be executed and it obviously isn't "murder" for the law stated as such.

Agreed. God dwells in Paradise, eg., Heaven.

So by your logic, it'd be perfectly fine for me to smother an infant child just because they'd go to Heaven? Sure they'd suffer a while before they died, but it doesn't matter right?

Of course Bush lied. He only got the support of the insane people who believed his lies.

God is NOT being taken out of this country. Christianity may be dwindling that is for sure. Only Christians think that means that God is dwindling because they think they own GOD. They don't.

I don't pledge allegiance to flags. They are inanimate objects.

No it would not be right. For it is not your choice when a person leaves this world. It is not your place to make such a judgment. Would be going against the laws of our God anyways. Would be killing someone, murdering someone. And one of the 10 commandments is thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not murder, which ever word you wish to use for it.

Yes, and they are mostly against abortion. It don't make much sense does it?

Of course Bush lied. He only got the support of the insane people who believed his lies.

Nobody "owns" God. Christianity is merely the past history of our God and the future events that will take place. Nobody owns God, if anything God owns us. And of course the laws to abide by to hopefully achieve the gift of eternal life in the paradise God has made for us.

But God does it and it's ok? God can violate His own commandments but it becomes different if we decide do?

Double standard much?

I'm glad you agree. Now tell the rest of the Christians and LET US HAVE OUR GOD.

But see by trying to say God is only this or only that, you try to put a monopoly on who God is. It can't be done.

No it doesn't. Murder is murder I don't care if "God" is doing it or someone else is. Killing and wiping someone out for whatever reason is NOT love.

The term Christianity is only given to us cause of people such as you, people with other beliefs.

Root word of Christianity = Christ.

We are trying to be as much Christ like as we can be to achieve the glory of heaven. Jesus CHRIST was the only begotten child of God and came to fulfill the old covenant and give us a new covenant between man and God. You can have God if you wish, no one is holding him from your grasp. He's out there for anyone and everyone whom wishes to accept Jesus as their lord. For Jesus CHRIST is the only path to our father who art in heaven.
