How do you call me your brother, when you consider me a Child of Satan ?Questions:
1) Did God create all of us, yes or no ?
2) Did Satan create any of us ? Yes or no ?
3) Can children of God and Children of Satan be considered brothers ? If not, then why do you call me brother ?
4) How can you ignore the existance of diversity (homosexuals, blacks, white,s americans, republicans, etc.), whom you are fully aware of exist, and then replace them with the division of "non beleivers" and "beleivers"....you have a very Black and White way of thinking.
Black and White mentalities are dangerous.
You stated that [b]there are ONLY TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE- Believers and Non Beleivers
. You were not making a mere classification.You were separating the entire Human Race into two categories, and purposely ignoring the diversity that exists beyond that. Yours is a dangerous way of thinking.
Hitler also classifed people as "perfect" and "imperfect".
I am not personally offended by what you say, but what you say is offensive.
Secondly, I did not make the point to label you a mean/judgemental person. I made the point that your way of thinking is willfully ignorant and dangerous. [/B]
1) Yes, God created all people.
2) No, satan did not create any people.
3) No, children of God and children of satan cannot be considered brothers. I use the word brother to refer to you and others because it is disarming. I employ the term loosely to refer to people that I sincerely care about in a Christian way. God cordially loves you and the rest of the world so shouldn’t I love you and others as well? One way for me to demonstrate my love (which has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit) for non-believers/others is to address them in a manner that is warm, embracing, and that shows goodwill.
4) Diversity is all around me, it would be difficult to ignore. As I said in a previous post: I am not the one making the division or rather distinctions, God is. Black and white thinking? Well, what is wrong with that in this context? Why is a black and white mentality dangerous (in this context)? Again, the contrast between the two groups has been made by God not me (I am simply affirming what my Heavenly Father has already stated). The Lord Jesus said,
Luke 7:23
And blessed is he who is [b]not offended because of Me.”[/B]
I am aware that the Word of God comes across offensive to many people, that is why it has been recorded that the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The Word cuts to the chase (no pun intended) or point, it gets down to brass tacks, and tells it like it is. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. People need to be informed now because it will be too late once they are dead. God knew that people would think that He was being narrow-minded, black and white, inflexible, dogmatic, and bigoted. But apparently God would rather speak the Truth to people and then sit back and let them deal with that absolute Truth than to tell them what they want to hear or what validates them (if it is wrong). God is just as poised today as He was when He inspired His Word to be written. He is not moved by our opinions, perceptions, criticisms, or complaints. Although God does hear our concerns and He does care about us, He is not swayed by our opinions, nor is He tempted to change. Unlike many people who change or bend with the wind of public sentiment and pressure, God is the Lord and He does not change. In fact, there is no variation or shadow of turning with God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. A million centuries from now God’s Word will state what it states, reveal what it reveals, and accomplish what it accomplishes. The Word of God lives and abides forever and it is forever settled in Heaven.
Psalm 119:89
Forever, O LORD, Your Word is settled in Heaven.
1 Peter 1:23
having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, [B]through the Word of God which lives and abides forever,[/B]
The Word of God will not change for you, me, or anyone else--not even the Son of God, Jesus the Christ. The Word of God won't change for the Father God or the Holy Spirit either. God has forever established His Word for eternity for all to obey, speak, think, read, and learn. It is His absolute standard of righteousness.
Goddess Kali, I firmly believe that my way of thinking is in line with God’s will/Word; therefore, it must be just, good, and acceptable to Him.
In what way is my way of thinking willfully ignorant and dangerous? I consider my way of thinking to be willfully informed, knowledgeable, and harmless. Can you see this Goddess Kali?
