Meanwhile, back in Israel Edomites (the descendants of Amalek, the people you love) 'became' "Jews".

I neither love nor hate people because of labels assigned to them.

Are you one of those who hate all Palestinians and would slit the throat of a Palestinian baby because Netanyahu described that child as "Amelek"?

Sadistic murder is never condoned by God, no matter what the Jews say.

Just admit it...you didn't read my post #144

Apparently you're the one needing glasses, as I'm the one who wrote post #144..

Your posts are worse than Rocky's...

You just blurt out emotional nonsense.

And you still can't define what religion was practiced by the Israelites.

Your posts are worse than Rocky's...

I wouldn't doubt you and Stone are the same person.

So what religion was Jesus, and what religion is the Torah?

I give up...what is Jesus' religion?

I give up...what is Jesus' religion?

I really need to tell you? I thought you were a religious expert.

Look it up on the Internet if you need to..

Yes. The Bible is filled with examples of God's anger.

Which I say is evidence the Bible is not the WoG.

And what could ever possibly happen that God couldn't recover from? What could ever happen that God would need to recover from?

Question not understood.

When one is angry, one recovers from that emotional state. Anger is a state of weakness. At least that is what I argue. I expect you would agree that any person who suffers from overwhelming anger needs prayer. That on it's face is an admission that it is a state of weakness.

I say the concept of an angry or jealous God is inconsistent with the attributes you listed above.

His anger falls under the attribute of being just, requiring justice. And also love.

Being just does not require one be subject to anger.

Nope. The leaders didn't have to tell the people of God's anger...everyone felt it immediately and personally. God would flat out kill scores of people until they came back into line.

Or the leaders would point to an incident in which people died and claim it was because God was angry.

But didn't God say we are made in His image? You have emotions because God has emotions.

I maintain anger stems from weakness. And God is not weak.

Here is where I can't take people such as yourself seriously.

The murder of innocent men, women, and children, theft of their possessions, destruction of their livestock, is EVIL and it is WRONG.

It's like something Charles Manson would approve of.

. . .

Well said. It's where theology becomes less of a sound philosophy and more an art of making a square peg fit in a round hole.

Amalek means "those who lick blood"

They were utterly barbaric.

According to those who wrote the history books about them, which were their enemies.

The winner always gets to write history..

You beat me to it!

And God is not weak.

Does God have emotions?

According to those who wrote the history books about them, which were their enemies.

Well, then, are any history books trustworthy? How does one know?

Does God have emotions?

How do you define emotions? Emotions that are a result of the human mind functioning, no, God does not.

God is not human.

Does God have emotions? How do you define emotions? Emotions that are a result of the human mind functioning, no, God does not.

God is not human.

Humans have emotions, capable of love, hate, caring, anger, jealousy, etc.

Did God not create us...or did God give us something He does not have?

I believe God is a Person, perfect, in every way. Capable of love, anger, jealousy...but never allowing those emotions to become sinful.

You're saying God is not even capable of love?

, no, God does not.

God is not human.

God is not human and you are not God. So you couldn't know if God had emotions unless you read the Bible. Hypnotists who consult demons doesn't count.

Of course God has emotions. God loves us.

Your position is utterly ridiculous.

Humans have emotions, capable of love, hate, caring, anger, jealousy, etc.

Did God not create us...or did God give us something He does not have?

I believe God is a Person, perfect, in every way. Capable of love, anger, jealousy...but never allowing those emotions to become sinful.

You're saying God is not even capable of love?

Good points. You are making sense. I am going to do my best to respond to you in a different manner.

The BB denies that God has communicated to us, that He has told us clearly how He created the universe.

The BB may pay lip service to "God" but adamantly denies that He has intentionally instructed us on His method* of creation.

As to rejecting God, try being a Christian professor (or student) in a secular university. You'll find out immediately who is narrow minded and vindictive.

The so called big bang is the theory of ancient dumb people.

So Tucker's guest is correct...the Big Bang Theory is nonsense...foolishness.

Even more so for the Theory of Evolution.

More truth from you.

The spirit of antichrist is rampant.

Tell me, where in the bible does it explain nuclear physics?

lol. how cute.

so it doesn't mean the BB theory is rejecting God.

Yes it does.

You're the one that tried to compare the sculpture to the big bang.

And human beings and animals are much more complex than a statue. But you don't get it because you push your failed ideology.

but I trust the Biblical account... And what IS that account?

You are such a deep thinker. Not.

The account given in the Bible. Which is doubtful you even read.

What it comes down to bro is that the bible does NOT explain EXACTLY how anything was created.

The big bang is a theory that DOES fit into the biblical words of "let there be light".

HOW that light was created is still a mystery and up to debate.

No the Bible doesn't explain everything. It explains what God wanted us to know. IF WE TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT AND BELIEVE IT. Which you haven't.

Your big bang theory doesn't fit into anything to do with the Bible. It doesn't even fit into anything scientific. It is a theory of ancient dumb people.

No how light was created isn't up for debate. You can bad mouth what God said and pretend you are a God. But the truth is the truth.

It could have been a divine event caused by the instant injection of mass that caused the creation of our universe. Some event outside of our universe that caused this universe to be created. In fact, I don't see how anyone believing in an ultimate supreme God could argue that our current universe contains God Himself. God MUST be beyond our universe.

Whatever that means. Who knows.

You have no room to accept the possibility that there could have been divine power and design behind either the BB or Evolution?

There is no room to accept that life evolved. When monkeys have sex they never produce people. When snails have sex they only produce snails. That goes for every other creature in our world without any exceptions.

To believe otherwise or open your mind to the possibility is quite insane honestly. Every real scientist knows that.

in THEIR own likeness A reference to the triune nature of God...Father, Son, Holy Spirit

Yes. That is what I think. Mike Winger has a video on that. He gave some examples of what some other theories of that means. I don't recall everything he mentioned. Maybe I will post it sometime.

If I don't get banned for speaking my mind.

I have a special set of rules. Like if someone insults me I'm not allowed to insult them back.

Some can't think beyond what they are told.

Some people can't admit they are sinners in need or redemption. They want to hold onto their sin.

You can't trust mistranslated texts from a few thousand years ago to be 100% accurate or complete.

You cannot be trusted to tell the truth. You just made up something about mistranslated texts. So you cannot be trusted. Take that to the bank.

His Son (actually our Universe) Show me the verse that says that.

He can't do that. Some people are not honest.

His ability is not in question.

It has in fact been put in question here. Some of you all have said it is not possible that God preserved his word and their are errors in it. Some people thing God is not capable of that.

Does God explain nuclear physics, chemistry, or math anywhere in the bible?

Do you think ancient Hebrews who wrote the bible would have known anything about those things?

That is a lame. God didn't give us the recipe for Eggnog either. So what does that matter?

Where does the Bible say the BB & evolution did not occur? If the Bible is silent on those matters, then it's not contradicting those theories.

God didn't say not to mix Clorox bleach and Ammonia. So maybe that is good for us to breathe. That is basically what you just wrote. And no the Bible isn't silent on those matters it gave us a very clear description in Genesis chapter 1 and 2 of what happened. Even a third grader could understand it if they don't go adding stuff the the verses and making stuff up. That is even more reliable than bitcoin.

It's actually improper scientific method to start with the assumption that something is true, then proceed to search for evidence supporting that conclusion.

You just said evolution and the Big Bang are bullshit.

I'm pretty sure

pretty sure means you don't know.

I'm sure you think you are smart.

In fact, if you look at skeletons of modern birds and compared them to skeletons of dinosaurs, they are quite similar. Which would mean modern birds are most likely descended from dinosaurs.

Everything in science says you are full of it. Birds have birds, people have people, turtles have turtles. What you say is a product of someone's imagination and you clinging to someone else's imagination as if it is a fact.

Then you should know that what I've said concerning the mistranslation of Genesis is an absolute fact,

You have already proven that you are not to be trusted. Now you have doubled down on it.

More wisdom to come tomorrow if I am not banned for speaking my mind. You know free speech and all.

I believe God is a Person, perfect, in every way. Capable of love, anger, jealousy...but never allowing those emotions to become sinful.

But God killing some of his children out of anger or jealousy wouldn't be considered "sinful" right? But it would be for us?

anger

I can't help but notice that you focus on "anger".

Never mind that you believe a divine magic caused an explosion of creation, and this divine magic has left humanity to rot in useless existence.

No, it's only God's anger that keeps you from acknowledging a Biblical God.

Sure, you have many other issues...but it is the issue "anger" that concerns you most.

Why "anger"?

Sure, you have many other issues...but it is the issue "anger" that concerns you most.

You avoided my question.

Anger is weakness. Bible says God has gotten angry. Repeatedly as you pointed out yourself. We surely agree that acting out of anger or jealousy to harm others is wrong. Now please give a rational theological explanation for why God can kill some of his kids out of anger and it's okay, but it's not for us.

I don't think there is one. Any provided would be trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Does God hold us to a higher moral standard than he holds himself? It would seem so.

So this is a flaw exposing the Bible as a work of man, not God. It paints us a picture of God that is clearly incorrect.

Anger and jealousy are vices that we are called to grow out of. The NT is a good book overall and one reason is it clearly calls us to develop virtues and quash vices. Jealousy is a vice. I consider anger to be one also.

Now please give a rational theological explanation for why God can kill some of his kids out of anger

I told you. I laid it out for you concerning Amalek. Apparently my reasoned response did not register with you.

but it's not for us.

Anger is actually required of us.

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Be angry...but not to the point of sin...don't hold on to anger.

I told you. I laid it out for you concerning Amalek. Apparently my reasoned response did not register with you.

I didn't find it reasoned at all. You described justification in the form of "the end justifies the means". Kill them now -- men, women and children -- a mass slaughter of human beings, so that the world will be a better place in the future.

Anger is actually required of us.

No it is not. Your quoted passage doesn't even say that. In fact it says the opposite in instructing that we should rid ourselves of anger before going to bed.

The clearest inference is that IF we get angry, don't act on it, and cure yourself of it before nightfall. It is not described as a virtue at all.

But somehow, God still struggles with this.

You described justification in the form of "the end justifies the means".

These are your words...not mine!

Explain: what were God's options regarding the Amalakites?

Anger is actually required of us. No it is not.

When you see injustice...and you feel nothing...no sense of righteous anger wells up in you...you are a sociopath.

Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙮, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜...

Humans are designed to feel anger, especially when they see injustice.

Righteous anger motivates human beings to change things that are wrong.

But you say being angry is bad?

And human beings and animals are much more complex than a statue.

I'm not the one who made the comparison genius.

You have already proven that you are not to be trusted. Now you have doubled down on it.

Projection as usual Stone. So tell me, do you think that the Torah was written in English? Or are you just to lazy to research the fact that the verse I discussed was mistranslated?

I believe God is a Person

As in a form of human?

What you say is a product of someone's imagination and you clinging to someone else's imagination as if it is a fact.

Are you one of those people who cling to the idea that the earth is flat?

Your big bang theory doesn't fit into anything to do with the Bible.

That you can't see the connection between the words "Let there be light" and the sudden appearance of light in our Universe demonstrates your inability to think clearly.

you even make your grandmother sick, lol
