So you had better clean up your room before God gets home or he will grab the special belt that is hanging up behind the closet door and LAYETH THE SMACKDOWN UPON YEA!!!!!11!!!ONE!!!

Jesus was all about the massive combos. :cool:

The wrath and bile of some Christians (not all by a long shot), makes me wonder why they even bother with the New Testament. The OT Jehovah seems much more to their smitey liking.

Well, I guess they'd have to take their lucky underwear, cross an eight lane highway blindfolded, then swim through a gulf infested with sharks, and then firewalk across some lava, and then maybe eat some arsenic.

Unfortunately, no one has survived the process.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is more real than you are! He created everything you see!!! It is He that you don't want to anger.

See, I can make empty claims too.

You can claim anything you want. It is a free country.

However, only CHRISTIANITY has the truth. Only Christianity has Christ; the One who rose up from the dead!!! :thumbsup:

Every other "flying spaghetti monster/god" is false and empty. Only Jesus Christ of Nazareth can give you eternal life! And that is because He is God the Son!!! :amen:

Christianity is pure, holy, and true! Everything else is but vain shadows!!!

Indeed.

After all, if it's not SoF just imposing hatred onto God, and thereby breaking the command to love one's neighbour, then it looks like God himself is breaking that rule - and surely he isn't that hypocritical.

I am loving my neighbor by teaching the Word of God.

It is good to learn the Word of God. :preach:

Is God loving his neighbour by creating people who are unable to escape their fate of eternal suffering?

Shouting at people with Bible quotes is not a good way to teach. Saying that God is coming to get them is not a good way to convert.

It is the equivalent of hitting someone in the head repeatedly with a Bible. It angers (or if your lucky only annoys) the person and teaches them nothing good about Christianity.

To bless the Christian! That is the purpose. We are to understand that GOD has chosen us and has lavished MERCY upon us!!! Amen!

What kind of Christian must one be to have God's mercy lavished upon one? Is it good enough to call oneself Christian, or believe in Christ or follow the Ten Commandments to the letter?

Which one are you, SOF?

You want to see something really amusing...there's a thread in Women's Discussion about the Law of Attraction. The OP asked a group of Christian women what they think of LOA... and of course got the typical response you'd expect - it's about the "self"; people who use LOA are "materialistic", etc. Luckily, there were 3 posters (and myself) who actually have a clue about it.

This seems like a good time to repost these:

SOF, I have one really big question:
If you believe in Calvinism, which in my understanding suggesting that God chooses to save some, but not all, what is your point of telling "the heathen"? If those not chosen aren't chosen to be saved by God, exactly why do you find it necessary to let the heathen know that? What redeeming quality, other than a spiritual, "I'm going to heaven and you aren't! So there" do you expect to achieve? In other words, what is your point of this OP?

That's the beauty of it. By posting this nonsense he's doing more to deconvert Christians than any atheist could.

The point that the propagators of this "sovereign" God keep missing: a truely sovereign God is not reliable. He cannot be trusted, because reliability would mean that God subjects himself to the contract he made with his creation. He ceases to be sovereign.

So as much as these kind Christians like to rant about how God loves them and hates the heathens... they cannot put trust in that.

If there indeed is a last judgement, and God praises all the heathens, sceptics and mockers and condemns they yay-sayers and mindless followers to eternal damnation, all they could do is keep on applauding him.

After all, he is right. Whatever he does. And that is not necessarily what you think he will do.
