I'm sure God loves the devil. But he's fallin. You can't go back to heaven if you go to hell. according to Christian teachings.
Some preachers say that when Jesus died that he went to hell for those "3 days", so chrsitians are screwed if they believe both beliefs
I dont think humans can know what god means by love. I dont' think we're really supposed to. maybe its poetry and balance?
according to the bible, god is omnipotent. this means he knew what the "devil" would do and must have specifically created him for that purpose. there can be no "showdown" betw een the two, because one created the other. perhaps two angels, but not god and the devil. anyway, i think it's an edited, misinterpreted, and overall false story to begin with.
So God "loves" you, but wants you to be stupid and ignorant of some of the best things that exist. I'd say that sums up the christian religion pretty well, remember the "tree of knowledge"???
No shit sherlock. Thats what the entire religion is baised on. Humans fell into sin, we all deserve to go to hell. In the old testiment god had the people sacrifice a lamb for their sins. Jesus was the final sacrifice, he died, went to hell and suffered for us. He was without sin so he held the burden for all of mankind. Thats the very basics of christianity, and EVERYONE should know that by now. If you're going to hate on something, know what you're taling about. I see your posts all the time and they're full of ignorence. It makes me want to vomit. Trust me, I don't believe in the Christian religion anyway, but at least I don't blindly hate stuff.
Does god "love" us? and if he loves ALL creation then surely it meaningless in any practical this world sense. WE are obviously limited in our knowledge and hence IF we are MADE by a being that is ALL KNOWING then its obviously on purpose that we don't know all that that being does. So therefore we are surely stupid and ignorant. Its our potential thats far more relevent maybe?
I grew up a hardcore Christian for the first 21 years of my life until I died in a car wreck and realized that everything I had been taught was a lie, so saying that I "blindly" hate Christianity is like saying that Bill Clinton is a virgin
I'm sorry to hear that it took a major trauma to wake up. Hope you are ok now. The thing is that a lot of people are very deeply conditioned by xian BS, and they are too fearful to let go of it. The fear is part of it - even the basis of it. So if you get adverse reactions here, don't let it worry you.
Well most thing I hear you say are false ... things you claim about christianity are usually wrong, you don't even seem to have the basic grasps of what the religion is!! You did not die in a car wreak either, you were knocked out and had a dream.... thats why you're still here.
I died on lsd when I was only 16. and I'm still here too, and actually, what he says about c/anity is quite accurate IMO.
it may help to remember that there are many different types of people who claim that title who think many different things about the religion, and teach these things to their children. i'd be willing to bet that nearly 90% of christians don't know the religion fully. maybe what he says is what some christians believe. this would still give an accurate depiction of the culture surrounding the book. anyways, i'm just glad to hear you saw some of the light, man. keep questioning-especially your own beliefs, and good luck.
All religion is the pathway to the love of God. Thats why God put religion here. Thats what i believe.
