Why Is God Always Innocent?

[Tirong-say]

---

you cant help but see SERIAL KILLINGS and MASS MURDERS mimic such DIVINE ACT.
which happens to be happening in REAL TIME and not on the pages of some holy fairy tale.

Yeah mimicking, meaning not anymore an act of GOD, but attributed to an imperfect culprit.

Yeah mimicking, meaning not anymore an act of GOD, but attributed to an imperfect culprit.

which means to say GENOCIDE, SERIAL KILLINGS, MASS MURDERS and INFANTICIDE are considered DIVINE ACTS as long as your god sez so.

Those are created by men based on their sometimes diminutive and wicked understanding and perhaps an evil scheme to justify there malevolent deeds by showing that it is an act of GOD.

No bro, I don't believe that the world was created in a few days.

Which parts of the Bible do you believe we should read in the same way we read mythical books?

Are you saying that the accounts about Lazarus being raised from the dead and Jesus walking on water cannot have happened? Why do you think so?

there is a substantial amount of verses in the Bible that are similar to Greek mythology and are better viewed metaphorically. i don't have to feed the verses here because i don't cherry-pick the Bible; i view it in a generalized manner.

But you didn't answer my question bro, and I asked it to you first, how do you know that that was His reason for commanding Abraham to do what he did?

again, what could be his motive other than testing Abraham's faith? i like what AmorsoloX said, if GOD was the all-knowing GOD he claims he is, why test other people's faith when he already knows what that person is thinking? wouldn't THAT contradict his all-knowing attribute? if that's the case, the question would then be, was he really testing Abraham's FAITH, or, was he really playing with Abraham/Isaac's emotions after all?

same can be said to biblical characters.

Are you saying that the accounts about Lazarus being raised from the dead and Jesus walking on water cannot have happened? Why do you think so?

well, Lazarus coming back from the dead is scientifically possible. it's a rare occurence called the Lazarus Syndrome. But Lazarus voluntarily waking up from a dead state as commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ is scientifically impossible. but then again, FAITH dictates the divinity of Jesus. so we're gonna go in limbos here.

[Tirong-say]

same can be said to biblical characters.

Yeah, another case of misinterpretation.

[munzter666]

Yeah, another case of misinterpretation.

owws, you saying they are excluded? an exemption to the rule.

It's quite hard and somehow impossible to see fault in righteousness.

[munzter666]

It's quite hard and somehow impossible to see fault in righteousness.

that's when you got nothing but faith to back you up.

jim jones thought what he was doing was righteous down to that last drop of kool aid.
