Origin of God's Morality.

Then what happened to you?

I examined my religious beliefs more closely. They were not as well founded as I initially assumed.

Do you want God in you life or not?....your choice.

As a general rule, I usually don't claim an entity is in my life, that I see know logical reason to believe exists.

Simple concept, which some just don't seem to be able to grasp.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1 John 2:19

Not everyone who calls themselves Christians are followers of Christ. Not everyone who calls themselves Christians are willing to do the will of God.

In this it is manifest in that a tree is known by the fruit it bears for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

Anyone who hates his neighbor has neither seen God nor knows Him.

Anyone who claims to have at one time been a Christian i.e. Whoever says, "I knew him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

Anyone who goes out and lives day to day in such a way as to repudiate what they say on an internet forum is not in need of arguments or evidence for the truth claims of Christianity. They are in darkness and need God to illuminate them with His light. They need a work of God in their heart, for the heart directs the mind, not vice versa. But this is the very thing they do not want. They do not want God's light, for their deeds are evil and they do not want to come into the light lest they be exposed. The very thing that would be life to them, they want to have nothing to do with. It is like a man having a terminal illness and wanting nothing at all do to with the only cure for what ails him.

Knowing this gives me cause for continual reflection and self-examination to see if I indeed pass the test. If we were to judge ourselves, then we would not be judged, and if the righteous are scarcely saved, what shall become of the ungodly and the sinner?

Time to get judgmental and preachy again.

 

[civilwarbuff]

Well, this is a CHRISTIAN forum so if you don't like the "preachy"ness you don't have to be here.

I fully expect it. You should fully expect, others will point it out when it happens.

Judging just by what you have written, without even seeing their post, I am pretty sure someone has said something about preaching.

Interesting.

The word preach is from the Latin which simply means to proclaim or make known. Is that not what a forum is for? To make known one's views and to proclaim them before others?

 

[civilwarbuff]

Not when it is against everything they stand for and it convicts them....even though they won't admit it. The Great White Throne Judgement is going to interesting with all the goats vying to be 1st in line.......

Empty threats might persuade you to tremble in your church, but not here.

What threat? You mean the threat of what is in the Bible? I guess atheists do see that as a threat....Which is why they work so hard to suppress and deny it.

I did say empty threat. Why did you ignore that part?

Who is trying to suppress the Bible? On the contrary, I encourage people to read it, especially Christians, those claiming to follow its words.

If God punishes someone, it is not because they did not love Him. It is because they have committed iniquity.

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of the triune God, therefore all stand condemned. And all will be judged and punished according to their deeds and what they have done with their body and in their body. God's standard is perfection. None are perfect, so all need Christ's work on the cross applied to their sin debt in order to cancel it. God is His providence reveals Himself and manifests Himself to some and to others He hides Himself. It is all up to God's sovereign prerogative.

Yet he [hypothetically] is going to hold people accountable for that they believe, even if that is not under their conscious control, and - by all objective mean - appears undetectable.

Your theology is morally bankrupt.

 

[Davian]

...
You're here to play around and ask twenty questions.

That would be in line with the purpose of this forum.

You're probably a teenager or in your early twenties

Was that intended to be hurtful?

and you think everything is a game.

You could look at this as a game; there is give and take, strategy, gains and losses. Games are fun, and I enjoy being here.

You respond to people's thoughtful posts by replying with one or two sentences at best, at worst, you offer nothing more than little one liners and cynical, sarcastic quips.

But your post was less thoughtful, and more preaching, repeating the depiction of your theology as morally bankrupt, as pointed out in previous threads.

Standard fare for rebellious teenagers/young adults who have read a couple of pop-science books and think they know all there is to know about everything they venture to talk about.

Standard fare for wannabe internet apologist that has read a few WLC web pages and think they know all there is to know about everything they venture in here to "defend".

Standard fare here once again. You have atheists on a Christian website replying with terse statements, sarcasm, and cynicism.

If I didn't know any better, I would say this was a forum for wannabe comedians to throw their jokes around to see if any of them stick.

And wannabe apologists that throw their arguments (or arguments found elsewhere) around to see if any of them stick.

Thank you Christianforums for the ignore function!

A most bizarre feature in a forum intended for the challenging of beliefs. You don't get to see what is being said about your posts, and to everyone else it looks like you've been stumped. Why be here at all?

 

[civilwarbuff]

the challenging of beliefs.

So, challenge our beliefs. You have done a very poor job of that so far.....

The irony is lost on him. He lies and hurls insults, but apparently we're the ones being juvenile.

 

[Davian]

Is this how adults (presumably) pick up their marbles and go home?

Or put on the blinders and carry on as usual.
