Is God sadistically & Christianity reprehensible & revolting proposition to the logical, rational, morally responsible & spiritually sensitive heart & mind?

Q: I feel Mainline Christianity is a reprehensible & revolting proposition to the logical, rational, morally responsible & spiritually sensitive heart & mind. It teaches that the vast majority of people made in God’s image—which the Bible says should never be disrespected or defaced—will be sadistically tortured in hell forever, even though Jesus allegedly made propitiation for them (turning aside the wrath of God against them) when he suffered the punishment for their sins, as their sacrificial substitute, on the cross, and thereby satisfied the holy justice of God on their behalf.  Double jeopardy? Premeditated genocide?  The larger reality of which we are an integrated part beckons us toward greater love, compassion & service. No judgment or condemnation. Only unconditional love. A: God is our Creator. Morals come from Him, from the attributes of God. That's one way in which we were made in the image of God. Man fell in Eden, so he only lives out a distorted...

If Jesus is Good Jesus is God

Jesus did claim to be God. This is the very reason he said only God is good… If one believe Jesus is Good that is their admission of him being God. Most people don't pick up on or grasp this even in Mark 10:18 "And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. " Jesus is saying are you calling me God? Is Jesus here rebuking the man for calling Him good and thereby denying His deity? No. Rather, He is using a penetrating question to push the man to think through the implications of his own words, to understand the concept of Jesus’ goodness and, most especially, the man’s lack of goodness. Thus, by the very standard Jesus is exhorting the young ruler to adopt, Jesus is good. And it necessarily follows that if Jesus is indeed good by this standard, Jesus is implicitly declaring His deity.

For the Good

When Bad things happen, people wonder Where is God, why did He allow it, or why isnt He stopping this?  Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose For good, or for the believer experiencing it, or an unsaved person(s)? A:  One, both or all the above. Will it have benefits for you? Yes in that situations drive a believer to prayer and into the Word. What if it is a sitiation leading to death, or a death occurs out of nowhere (by accident, babies children teens or adults murdered, cancer, etc). Do you think God did not plan to use this to bring people to Himself?  Good comes from it: It is a reminder to believers and for unsaved it is a call to faith. How does Good result?  *The family, friends, coworkers, associates are reminded life is short & we need to be right with God.  *The people in extended friend and aquantance circles are reminded life is sho...

Merry Christmas, Humanists!

Be Good campaign of Atheists  Thanks for getting people to think about God and remind them Christmas is about Christ. "What they meant for Evil, God uses for good, to save many people" (Genesis 50:20). We know you meant the advertising as an attack on Christianity, and know you would never do that on Muslim holidays, Aukmed might "Keel You" if you dared to do that. You are more afraid of men than you are of God.  But we, Christians, leave vengeance to God. We know that those who are against the living and True God attack Christ because they know God is real and they dont want to be responsible for how they live before His eyes... as you all feel. You hate God, without cause. So you also hate His followers.   Did you know only a small percentage of people in America are not believers in God. Globally most everyone does as well. Here, 93% of Americans celebrate Christmas, and just about as many admit to believing in God (91%). Celebrating the Birth of Christ is not...
