Is God the epitome of both good and evil?

Started by Genesis-Soldier8 pages

evil is a binary opposite.
i dont believe in evil because i dont believe in good

i believe in the nature of man

Ignoring everything else, the God from the bible at least is most assuredly evil. You can't have that high a body count and be considered "good". One would think a true God would be above good and evil. The biblical God is not, and is quite petty actually.

To be fair I'd be a petty d-bag too if I had super powers. I'd probably still steer clear of genocide though.

i wouldnt

I would genocide everybody who wants to genocide.

Then again yeah, people circa the flood era were probably all shitty and dirty and stuff. I can see why God got rid of them. Unconditional love is for lesser men.

Plus they all probably totally worked on a Sunday one time, so of course they had to die. God tells you to rest? You friggin REST or else you get an eternal rest with Satan.

Sunday is not the Sabbath day. It never was. The seventh day is the Sabbath. Not the dawn of a new week. Regardless of whether or not that was the day that Christ rose from the dead. However, Sunday is sometimes referred to as "The day of the Lord" since that is supposedly the day he rose. But, it's still not the Sabbath though. God, during the era you're referring to, would not be offended or insulted by anyone working on Sunday because it's not the seventh day and it never was.

Not even gonna bother replying to all the idiots who think God was ever an "evil murdering bastard" since it would just be a waste of my time. Seems people still haven't learned the true definition of murder. Punishing the guilty is not murder.

so which is our day of rest

Depends on which day is more important to you; the day that God rested on after the creation of the universe or the day that Christ rose from the dead. If you're a strict follower of the ten commandments then obviously the seventh day should be more important to you.

How do your call yourself a Christian when you speak this blasphemy

Apologies for being tardy. No notification somehow.

At no time do I ever call myself a Christian.

It would shame me to do so.

I am a Gnostic Christian. We are a curt above Christians. A long high cut.

Anytime you want to discuss our superior morals, I am here for you.

I like nothing better than to cut up your genocidal son murdering God.

Look up Gnostic Luciferianism.

Why when I am a Gnostic Christian?

Or are you a Christian throwing the usual garbage labels on those you do not like?

as usual, your post exposes your ignorance of the Bible...

"Then [b]the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"
Numbers 22:28

it's not a talking donkey, dude... it's an ordinary donkey... God just used His power to let the donkey speak human language to rebuke the madness of Balaam... so it happened at this one particular time only...

shm... that's it... you're a certified Bible idiot... yawn for starters, everyone knows that the book of Revelation is not to be taken literally, entirely... you also bash literalists but that's where your arguments go... you bash Christianity because you are interpreting the Bible literally...

and to prove that it's not literal, the answer is also written on the said book:

"Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits."
Revelation 17:9

there you go... i hope you learned something and think twice before bashing Christianity again... it makes you look like a total imbecile, right?

pffft! your post is misleading, as always... it implies that gorillas learned human sign language by themselves... hell, no! gorillas somehow learned it because people taught them... duh? 🙄 [/B]

"for starters, everyone knows that the book of Revelation is not to be taken literally, entirely"

How do you decide what is to be literal or not.

Flip a coin or wait till your idiocy backs you up against a wall?

Yes.

I was wondering where the intelligent and honest people were.

Christians are generally not that.

Thanks for your honest reply. Refreshing.

What's evil can be described as good by another.

Christians do that constantly to justify things like God torturing King David's baby for 6 days before finally killing it. All because of his anger with David.

Yes. He is not the epitome of good that is for sure.

If murder is not evil, for one instance, what adjective would you use to describe it if not evil?

What adjective would you use to define the opposite of the adjective you used for murder?

I will bet they are just synonyms for good and evil but I hope you prove me wrong.

Is punishing the innocent to death murder?

murder is an act of man ( i say this but i do not hold man to be the center of all things)

murder is usally characterized along the lines of "a person or persons killed by another individual or group of individuals against the first person/persons/ "victims"/ will to live"

murder is just a cause of death enacted by another against the Victims/ prey's will to live. humans killing humans call it murder. in the animal kingdom we call it predatory chain/hierarchy. you could debate that we are better then animals but honestly i don't see us as better, just diffrent in self modelled and developed aspects of life and evolution
