Can you be good without God?

[Locutus]

No, God's laws are the basis for human law. Without God's direction, humans would, by nature, be lawless and do whatever seemed right in their own eyes.

You are aware that there are thousands of gods, right?

I'll bet he tries to block that out.

That doesn't seem likely.

You are aware that there is only one God, right?

The gods you refer to are inferior in every way and the Bible refers to them as evil spirits, at most, or empty statues of wood or rock at least.

You work hard to avoid your own responsibility. Why is that?

 

[MennoSota]

That doesn't seem likely.

Regardless of your feelings, it is true.

You work hard to avoid your own responsibility. Why is that?

1) there are thousands of gods. if you insist that strength of feelings and/or words in books determine whether one or another is the most 'real', then you must literally believe in all of them - since respective believers personally feel that their god is the most real, and most have holy writings which are unique in some way. So, do you believe in all the gods?

2) "your god is inferior in every way and my holy book refers to it as an evil spirit" says someone else's book/feelings. bunches of words don't amount to reality. strength of feelings doesn't, either. if they did, all gods would be real because all gods are lauded via bunches of words and strong feelings. See #1. you're actually supporting the fact that words and feelings don't mean reality, in insisting other gods aren't real! Are you aware of that?

3) what responsibility is that, please?

Billions, disagree with you.

I simply point to Jesus being God and proving it, while you dance with ignorance.

How did you prove it? Please give us details.

 

[MennoSota]

Billions, disagree with you.

Billions will spend eternity in hell because they didn't receive God's redemption.
The person they need to find agreement with is God and God has spoken very clearly.

 

[MennoSota]

How did you prove it? Please give us details.

Read the gospels. The details are there.

 

[bhsmte]

Read the gospels. The details are there.

The anonymous gospels are the claim.

Where is the evidence, these claims are true.

Anyone can write a book with claims. Do believe everything you read?

And just think, God set this all up, that 2/3 of the world's population, would be born to the wrong religion and will spend eternity in hell, no matter how good a life they lead.

All the while, the serial killer who repents on death row, is saved.

I call that, a morally bankrupt, theology.

God is not obligated to redeem even one law breaker and forgive their crime.
You are like the crimminal that yells at the judge for declaring the crimminal guilty. Your complaints are empty and hypocritical.

And it appears, God set up these circumstances, for you to call them criminals.

You continue to blame God for your lawlessness.

What lawlessness, would you be accusing me of?

 

[MennoSota]

What lawlessness, would you be accusing me of?

Breaking at least one of the Ten Commandments and likely a majority of these laws.
