Why does God not follow the Golden Rule? His best rule?

Oh, my, you absolutely referred to what God did in the bible as a reference to God’s activities. So, you absolutely implied belief in the Bible:

So, if you don’t actually believe in the Bible, you need to stop referring to his actions in the Bible. Otherwise you’re contradicting yourself as a hypocrite. At least we now agree God never did those things in the Bible, so they aren’t proof of his ethics or morals.

Then stop using stories in the bible and mythical texts as proof of God’s behavior; it makes you look hypocritical and silly.

Then why did you bother to write them. That’s just more hypocrisy.

That makes no sense. If you think God is this terrible guy who broke the Golden Rule, why bother to seek him out?

To recognize a God who is a living and glorified man is also to become an idol worshipper. So, you’re an idol worshipper like the rest of Christians. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that; you’re just not better than they are.

It has been said that intelligent people can discuss things they do not believe in.

To discuss the Christian God, I have to go to their beliefs.

To the rest of your post. I do not have the time to deal with those who do not want to believe what I put as I would then spend more time correcting than dialoging.

That is not my style.

In other words, you are completely unable to counter any of my arguments. I’m not surprised at all.

The simple argument is, “How do you that he isn’t?

God might be doing exactly what God would want done to himself if he thought that he was as screwed up as Man.

See what I mean. I would spend all my time correcting your poor assumptions instead of dialoging on the issues.

Not my style.

Screwed up?

Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect:

Are we not God’s work?

Oh ye of little faith.

Seems you do not have the faith to believe that your God only creates perfection.

I what I believe is that you haven’t the slightest clue what perfection is.

Again, Greatest I Am claims he doesn’t believe in the bible, then he uses the Bible as his evidentiary proof. The hypocrisy abounds.

Thanks for the correction. Oops. There was none.

You should learn how to communicate. Denial is not an argument.

You knew that but just wanted to throw a stone and run away as usual.

DL

Our friend does and he is who does not seem to believe his own book.

Are you just going to be another person who just throws stones and insults and runs away from any meaningful dialog?

Seems like.

Awwwwww…I’ve pushed the poor Gnostic Christian’s buttons and he’s lost his composure. I guess Gnostics don’t like being shown they’re wrong either… :wink:

Firstly, you are the one who claims the bible is garbage, then you use it as evidence for your arguments. That makes you quite the hypocrite. And I didn’t run from anything. You refused to address my arguments in my last post to you and ran, yourself

Here they are again. Try to not run off and actually address them this time, kid:

You overstate your capability and show your childish nature.

Hardly. I stated my capabilities perfectly, as I pushed you to childishly resorting to playground expletives. So, now you’re projecting as well.

Oh, and you failed again to address my arguments showing how wrong and hypocritical you’ve been. Considering you can’t, I’m hardly surprised… :wink:

Keep running, guy

I’m not sure what sites you have been on before, but we don’t condone goding here… best to read the ILP posting protocol rules before posting further…

Our more lax Social Forums (Mundane Babble and Rant House) do allow for this more lax approach to conversation, so please bear that in mind also

He calls me an “asshole” and you chide me for goading? You are aware verbal abuse is actually forbidden by the site. So, if you are handing out lessons, I suggest you speak to Great I Am.

I appreciate your advice, though.

Don’t appreciate my advice, follow it! you have been warned, as your posts do not always follow ILP rules and will incur you a warning… and that applies to the rest of the forum.

Perhaps reporting those posts would have been a better idea than replying with the above ^^^?

I did report it this morning, nobody removed it. It’s still up there, too, and you have yet to respond to it. Apparently calling someone an “a-hole” is ok, but goading the people who called you that is not.

Look again. It was a question and not a statement of fact.

DL

Yes, you are a bright one…and I answered the question.

So, are you going to goad all day, or are you going to address my wicked debunking of all your arguments? Why do I think it will be the former.

P.

Note your style. It is uncouth and unless it changes, child, I will not engage.
