  • 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.

This is exactly what i am talking about. Why do most Christians not see that?

The bible says God will not be mocked, and God did kill people for mocking him so your feelings point is irrelevant.

If God killed people for blasphemy, there would be no atheists today. So clearly this is false.

God's way is LOVE, not murder. That would be the devil, not God.

At last a Christian with a Christian attitude. At least you are not trying to defend this as others have tried to do. Well, not just defend but condone.

Why do you feel that you need a faith? could you be a good person without it?

I believe that Jesus died for my sin and choose to follow him, Christian is from "little Christ" which means people who want to be like Christ, I want to be like Christ and for many other reasons including this one I identify myself as a Christian, but being a good person is different, anyone can choose to be a good person and luckily many people are primary good. Not sure if that actually answered your question though.

Hi Jay,

Chapter 9 of Ezekiel is continuation of Ezekiel's vision that began in chapter 8. It is essential to understand the timing and what this vision means. Ezekiel was a prophet that was born around 622 bc and preached to Israel right before and during the Babylonian exile. The vision and its impending judgement described in chapter 9 depicts the Babylonian attack and destruction of Jerusalem in 586 bc and the horrors that the Jews would suffer because of their unbelief and wicked ways. The Babylonians inflicted the devastation not God although God foretold of the devastation through Ezekiel in chapter 7.

There is a big difference between judging someone and finding them guilty and executing him than murdering someone outright. You have a big problem with explaining your idea of a loving God and dismissing Noah's ark. I see no way you can view God as not murdering almost everyone alive at that time unless you say God judged those people and sentenced them to death.

So God judged babies as guilty and murdered them? I doubt it, but hey, if believing that makes you a better person, more power to ya.

Please see my previous reply which clearly answered your concerns about the flood. I already addressed them and I so hate repeating myself.

God can do as he wishes with his creation. I will outright say God has killed children a few times. He has (as far as I can see) commanded the destruction of an entire people (race?) which include tossing live babies into the rocks

God did this? Book chapter verse please.

The greatest destruction of children was Noah's ark

If you read the story that way it makes no sense. Why did the animals have to die? "All flesh was corrupted." The only one left human, was Noah. Apparently at least some from his family was also corrupted, because we see Nephilim spring back up.

That's not what happened. The man was Elisha. Look at the story in relation to his ministry.
Psst.... don't answer posts other than the OP (against the rules), some here either don't know this or are baiting others into breaking the rules by making comments about Christians posts here.

This is reinforced in Revelation. What makes you think God is love, and not wrath? Are you another one that's going to go on the misguided "omnibenevolent" binge?

Reality - deal with it.
