quote:Yes, God demands us to "turn the other cheek" because only God has the authority to judge and condemn that person. We should not seek retaliation because that is God's job (to punish the wicked), not ours. I have no problem with God being able to do some things that we (His creation) are allowed/supposed to do. That's the very nature of the creator/creature distinction.
Actually, thats the kind of love God demands from us in the bible. He requires us to turn the other cheek and pray for those who spit on us (figuratively of course).
To then turn around and punch us in the face for eternity for spiting on him seems a bit hypocritical.
quote:I know there are many Christians who disagree with this view, but they would also disagree with the scripture which says pretty much the exact same thing: we are not God; we are God's creation, and God can do with us as He wills.
You have a very sick and twisted view of the world, so much so that even most christians would reprimand you for saying something like this.
What a complete monster of a being you worship. I honestly couldnt get up every morning if I believed this.
But what you are forgetting is that though God has every right to "slaughter" every single one of us, He chooses not to. Instead, He sent His only Son to die a death He did not deserve so that we who deserve death should not receive it, but live eternally. There are two sides to the coin of God, but you only want to focus on one side in an effort to dismiss Him entirely. You are actually a good case study for the depravity of man and the enmity that man has against God, just as the Bible states. But I suppose we all are.

That fact does seem to get overlooked. God has every right to annihilate us but he chose not to.

We didnt create cattle, we domesticated them. Cattle arent our self proclaimed special creation. Cattle arent sentient beings. Cattle dont go to cattle hell when we kill the,.
Our relationship to God is nothing like our relationship to cattle if God exists. You worship a God that creates people solely to punish them forever.

Every religious text in the world says there will be fools who dont believe it, yet you arent Hindu or Islamic. Of course the bible says we are depraved and need a savior, thats rhe whole point. Of course it says the nonbelievers have supressed a knowledge of the truth, what else is it supposed to says?
"Please believe this book and not those pesky nonbelievers, they've got some pretty good points and can be persuasive I know"
