One man's soup is another man's poison.
We've covered this. . .
I have food to eat that you know nothing about (John 4:32).
To inform atheists that there is a judgment coming, and to get their "house" in order before it's too late.
"The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. . .His winnowing fork is in his hand and he will clear his thresing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." (Matthew 3:10-12).
"He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew 11:15)
Do you have ears that can hear these things?
The 'food' that you choose to eat is poisonous, Clare
Calling it soup doesn't change the fact that it is harmful
It's really quite simple:
To consciously and purposefully impose needless harm upon another is immoral
God consciously and purposefully inflicts needless harm upon us
{Choosing to hold us accountable for Adam's actions and, as a consequence, creating us with sinful natures that inevitably compel us to sin thus warranting our eternal damnation is just one of many examples}
To consciously and purposefully look towards an immoral source for moral guidance is harmful to both the individual and to those with whom said individual interacts
It's harmful to humanity, itself, Clare
You know full well that God is guilty of behavior that you would never, ever condone being committed by a man
{example: you insist that God holding us accountable for Adam's millennia old 'crime' is good and just, but you refuse to call it good and just were you to be held accountable by a human judge and sent to prison for a crime that your great grandfather committed decades before you were born...}
Why is that?
Why do you make an exception for God?
Why do you hold God {who is supposed to be perfect} to a lower standard than to which you hold me, yourself, and every other human being?
Thus far, despite asserting multiple times that you have already provided your reasons, you have refused to provide an answer
If, as you claim, you are here to "inform atheists that there is a judgment coming, and to get their "house" in order before it's too late" then I would think that you would happily explain to me the thought process by which God is to be called good and just despite His immorally inflicting conscious, purposeful, needless harm upon us so that I, too, might see the light and accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior before it's too late!
