5 Questions for Creationists

Or to add something they feel should have been included in the original.
"God is love". What that means is God loves but also hates those who do not love him.

That's not how love works.

Besides the opposite of love is apathy, not hate.
Hate means you care about others.

Don't avoid my simple question:
How does one hate something they don't believe exists?

One can hate the idea of something they refuse to accept.
Many show a hatred for God, for example, just for that reason.

Well, perspective is everything. I hope your relationship with your imaginary rules works out for you.

All relationships have imaginary rules.
How we interact in this forum is chock full of imaginary rules.

You might not even be a person. Computers have come a long
way toward simulating intelligence.

For example, the Bible says that death and destruction came about after the fall of man because man sinned against God. If God used evolution, millions of years of death and destruction marred creation long before man appeared. How then would it be possible to say that creation was good as the Bible said in the beginning?

Well, we don't know if "death" refers to bacteria death. Did Adam exist with bateria death in his body? Or did Adam step on any ants? If so, then "death" may only refer to the death of the soul in a human. Animal death, or non-human death may not count. Perhaps Jesus stepped on a spider once. Spider death may not count. Jesus ate fish. Their death is not considered murder in the scriptures.

It is for some "Christians", their love can work both ways when it comes to Atheists, someone saying 'I don't believe' brings on hate in their mind because they imagine the Atheists is telling them they are fools for believing.
A simple, 'I don't believe' makes a lot of Christians blood boil, why?

Did Jesus hate anyone?

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

It's either called 'egotism' or 'delusions of grandeur'.

Giant leap between simply not believing an idea exists and hating the idea that it exists, wouldn't you agree?

One would have to make huge assumptions, to make the derogatory statements Aman does.

For example, the Bible says that death and destruction came about after the fall of man because man sinned against God.

Dear Earl, Not so. Please post chapter and verse for your misunderstanding, or everyone will see that it's just your opinion. When you do, you will show everyone that death came upon Mankind when Adam sinned. It was already upon everything that God had created.

If God used evolution, millions of years of death and destruction marred creation long before man appeared.

It depends on what your definition of evolution is. Mine is changes within the kinds Jesus made with His own Hands. The definition of Science is the SAME if you stay with that definition and don't go on to their fantasy, and that is that we magically evolved from the common ancestor of Apes. That is the Big Lie of the False ToE, since Humans were made long before Apes. Genesis 2:4-7

How then would it be possible to say that creation was good as the Bible said in the beginning? Truth + mis-truth = mis-truth.

It's because the creation continues on the present 6th Day. Don't you know what Day it is? At the end of this 6th Day or Age, everything will be brought to perfection and ALL of the host of the third heaven will be present IN Heaven. Genesis 2:1 Then, the beginning will be over and God's work of building a perfect Heaven, filled with His perfect children, in Christ, will be victorious, over sin, darkness and finally Death. 1Cr 15:26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

BTW, The reason you are wrong about when Darkness or Death came upon the Creation, it was BEFORE the first Day. Genesis 1:2 Everything that God made was subject to Death because it was made apart from God and to be apart from God is to be subject to Death. That's WHY Jesus said, You MUST be born again, Spiritually.

.

I don't agree in the least. Hate comes anytime a person feels
out of control of a situation that they think is important.
That can happen in an instant. This is generally because
our belief that we are in control is a bubble easily popped.

In my experience, he who argues with Aman practices foolish behavior.

I fully agree with your last sentence.

I can't go along with your first statement though, that hate comes from being out of control of a situation. I would say "anxiety" would be a better term to apply, as opposed to hate.

IMO and in my experience, people who have healthy minds are able to separate what they can control and what they can not. In fact, this is one of the core principles a psychologist would focus on, in any general therapy session with an individual. If hate is triggered for someone because they don't feel in complete control of a situation, I would say that person likely has serious trouble in relationships, whether they be personal or professional and wouldn't be the most pleasant to be around.

it's important to note that therapy is not part of normal life and is only suitable for disturbed minds. In my personal experience.

And they are not pleasant to be around. Those with faith in a higher power are considered leaders.

Therapy is only for disturbed minds? Where did you get that from?

I will go back to the previous topic, in which you stated when people feel they don't have control of a situation, it breeds a feeling of hate. Why hate? Do you have control of every situation in your life? Do you feel hate whenever something happens you don't have control over?

What drivel....

Do you accept the existence of fairies, leprechauns, goblins, unicorns...?

I'm assuming the answer will be a 'no'...?

So, do you therefore hate them...?

Dear Skywriting, Is that why you ran when you found that God's Holy Word disagrees with your position? I have no hate for anyone as you so falsely imply. I've been online for more than 17 years and I haven't "popped" yet. IOW, your's is a false accusation. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

Skywriting:>>In my experience, he who argues with Aman practices foolish behavior.

bhsmte:>>I fully agree with your last sentence.

Dear Readers, Above is a good example of some of the people on this board who have been refuted by God's Holy Word. Both are mad because God's Truth doesn't agree with their Religion. (beliefs) The indication is that both probably worship the people they see in the mirror.

In Love,
Aman
