In one post you differentiate between God and Jesus and when called out for it you don't address it you just keep rambling on about something else

Aaargh....! I'm not repeating myself again. We are definitely done. Thanks for your input.

Look who was behind those things in all three links
If you're trying to hint that it's all the fault of Catholics - think again.

Firstly - like it or not - Catholics are Christians

Secondly - like it or not - Protestants have done their share of killing in the name of God

I'm afraid you have a lot to learn.

It's strange I know a lot of Christians and none of them ever killed anyone or heard a voice telling them to. You throw out the baby with the bathwater

I had to look him up. He's an American who killed three Muslims back in 2015.

What's you point?

OB
Look further. He was an aggressive atheist who hated people of all religions.

God might be in three persons but it appears that these persons have been fighting and killing each other, in the name of their particular version of God, for centuries.
In spite of the Bible.

Not with respect to It.

So disagreeing with someone on a forum is immoral?

A very telling defense of:

I take pot shots on here but so do you.

Either you genuinely were confused regarding what I was asking, or you are being disingenuous.

The former torpedoes your credibility because if you can't follow my words, what chance do you have getting the Bible right? And the latter simply makes you a poor role model and a cautionary tale about what becoming a "Christian" does to a person's character.

I thought you were going to educate me about abiogenesis. You just make irrational attacks. What example do you set?

We made no such arrangement.

You just make irrational attacks.

If you can't follow a conversation and/or won't accept moral instruction, you're not making a strong case for accepting any other lessons... and none whatsoever for giving any.

What example do you set?

Irrelevant. Who is your role model -- Jesus Christ, or me?

You asked if I was willing to learn. You haven't offered anything. You hold me to the highest standards but there is no accountability at all for you. Whose example does an atheist follow?

Why is this so difficult to grasp? It's not that God could have wiped out everyone that's the problem. The problem is maintaining that it would have been acceptable by an omnipotent God.

Are you not reading the posts?

Ok. And are you reading the Bible and applying Hermeneutics? Or are you just doing what so many people already do ... essentially just flap open the bible and read some isolated tid-bit without thinking---more specifically, without critical thinking---or doing the labor of taking into account literary study?

I'm guessing that in your case, it's the latter.

But I get what you're saying: your concern is with maintaining the present status quo "world think," and you expect that it shouldn't be questioned. Am I wrong? Am I not supposed to question the world as I do? I'm not allowed ...?

The thing is, I'm going to question everything, both the Biblical ethics as well as so-called "Modern Values."

You'll happily fall back on your unsupported assertion that God's morality must be different to ours while ignoring the morality God is claimed to have given in the bible as well as ignoring Genesis 3:22

If you have nothing to say, say nothing.

The point is about what the OT said God did. Not what the NT said Jesus did. Accepting the former is a problem. Accepting the latter is not. Please try to stay focussed.

I don't accept your arbitrary conceptual segmentation. This is a Christian chat, not a strictly Jewish one.

So no, the point isn't as you say, nor does anyone have to accept it as such.

It's not that I need to "stay focused." It's that you need to become better educated.

Where did you learn your rhetoric, BB? Off of a bubble-gum wrapper?
