CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Again, I'm not claiming to be God, and I do see and know of good people, we have to agree to disagree on this one ....

That only makes sense to those who believe in it, people of other faith have their own holy scripture to rely on, and they believe in it as much as you do

No HE doesn't
By the way, please identify for us the obedient since THE WORLD already says that HE has turned all over to disobedience
So that all mouths will be silenced on that day and no man can profess himself
Will you tell GOD that HE made a mistake?

This is true. Probably why I don't watch the Christian TV stations very often. Plus, a lot of the preachers have a eschatology that I don't agree with. John Hagee and Jack Van Impe being examples one and two. They rub me the wrong way whenever I do happen to catch them.

Ironically, despite biblical indications to the contrary, when Protestantism emerged in conjunction with the industrial revolution material prosperity in this life became indicative of a reward or blessing from God while poverty, or lack of material prosperity, became indicative of God's disapproval or as a curse. I see that mentality in certain churches today where the emphasis is placed more on getting rich than it is on gaining salvation via Jesus' Ransom Sacrifice.

what do you think this means:
To be just when HE judges and the justifier of all whose faith is in HIS SON
Do you think anyone will stand before GOD and profess their obedience apart from GOD's GIFT of HIS MERCY and GRACE(unearned unmerited favor) found most visibly and clearly IN HIS SON whom HE gave for the sins of the world?

They believe in whatever they were told to believe in, and if everyone heard his voice and call, everyone would be Christians, and there wouldn't be any need for missionaries
Why do you think that people born in the middle east are most likely to be Muslims? and people born in Thailand tends to be Buddhist? Could it be that their parents are followers of that particular faith? And taught their kids to believe in that religion?

Sure and there are people who heard HIS VOICE and drowned their children because HIS VOICE commanded it.
Don't believe everything you hear because there are hallucinations and delusions.

Here's how your god operates:
"Nice life you got there, would be a shame if I had to send you to hell for eternity. But don't worry I have a solution, believe in and worship Jesus and I won't send you to hell." - God

On the flip side, you have those who criticize the rich or people who are better off financially, saying they're nothing but greedy.
Shaming the poor and criticizing the wealthy are both extremes, on polar ends of the spectrum.
