Thankyou very much for writing this.

that's why I began with the marriage analogy Heaven is described as a wedding banquet the Church is his bride. God does tell us things that can be comparable to human experience so that even though we can't fully understand him because of our limits we can still have some understanding on...

no one on earth is perfect and while this system is in play we Christians still live in a corrupted form but we know this and can accept that we are not perfect that is why we need the grace God has given us in Jesus but not achieving perfection does not mean not striving to do what we should...

i'm not quite sure what you mean. Christians should be changing into the image of Jesus we should willing obey him and his teachings and we should be humble to admit when we are wrong the difference between atheists and christians is that we will admit that we are in need of jesus and that we...

the people in heaven made the choice to stand with God through think and thin we are being changed by our decision to follow Jesus we will be conformed into his image we have been refined by fire (trials and hard times) we will be known by our love for one another our love for our God and our...

you are presuming with humans there can be such a thing as no hard times and that if such a thing is possible that it would be optimal

When you marry a person you say vows for better or worse in sickness and in health and so on now when you say that on your wedding day you presume you will do exactly that but how do you know until worse becomes not being able to pay your house payments and losing your house is your love still...

Jeremiah 20:7 is Jeremiah was saying how he felt because of the persecutions he was facing but God never promised a life of no pain he promised to be with us in the midst of pain. As for the other two scriptures I don't find it easy to write so my thought on this matter are the same as this link...

you are making a presumption that there was another way that would be better than this way without even having the kind of knowledge it would take to even know if that is a possibility. If you say to me that the God of the Christian is all powerful and all knowing I will tell you that scripture...

God sends people over and over again to warn people you have heard that warning for yourself yet you don't change some people refuse their hearts are hardened and if you have a hardened heart you can not see God clearly. If you wish to say that there isn't sufficient evidence for God then that...

God gave them 300 years to repent. How long would you let the evil deeds go on for? Do you have patience when you have been wronged. Do you see outside the constraints of time to know when to intervene. Do you think you can even speak of such things without this knowledge. Do you have any...

ok I think I have misread what you are saying can we start from scratch with you giving me your understanding on why God fails to be just please. Or are you asking for proof as to God being just. I am not very intellectual so you may need to be patient with me. Also just for information sake...

retraction of my quote because I was wrong sorry if you already saw it misread you and what you were asking me sincerely sorry

I'm not the one arguing that God is unjust

please correct me if I am wrong but are you saying that God showing mercy through the cross means that he is not just because he can't be both at the same time? Also are you saying that you don't think that everyone is offered salvation

I was trying to explain that we all have sinned which is "why" we are separated from God it would be justified if we were all separated from God eternally or in other words in hell. I believe the cross as a redemptive plan is fair he is he is extending mercy to those who "chose" to follow...

I have to admit I posted that when I was a little frustrated and didn't even read over Job and the last time I read Job was years ago and if I'm being honest I only scanned it really so I had no right to comment

I am so glad you posted this it was a bit of an eye opener for me I let myself post without even thinking especially in regards to Alex and his post I am reading back over Job right now. Definitely jumped the gun there.

God did speak to Job he asked him questions about the things that he created he was reminding Job of his immense power and sovereignty. You see whether you like it or not we are speaking about the creator now look at this world who are we compared to the one who created it and he still is...

I think God would be justified in sending us all away from his presence eternally and I think he was fair in offering us a way to be restored for all eternity the only thing is you have to decided whether to take that fair offer. We all stand condemned and we can all decide whether we want to...
