IBIH, if you're going to be stubborn, to the point of being ignorant, why should any of us waste any time on you?

You want US to be open minded to YOU, but you aren't willing to do the same.

I guess abortion would be a good way to save children from the chance of growing up and not getting saved?

God bless abortion doctors, right?

Yes, I'm glad you see that Natural disasters are a major problem in our lifetime. Jesus said Natural disasters will increase in the final hours of the earth. Not to mention famine, starvation, diseases, and war..

Is it your claim that this is your loving god taking out his vengeance and his wrath upon these thousands of innocent little children who have not even so much as known their left hand from their right and in who's mouths was no guile ?
God takes a child away from his earthly life, and he is entered into a new life with Christ. That's why I don't consider God's wrath to be as vicious and evil as you claim. Once God takes away a child, what's left? I tell you.. the evil parents who disobeyed God are left to suffer on this earth without their children. I don't tempt the hand of God. He can either make you happy or miserable, that is your choice.

Wow... its still amazes me how far people's religion can take them.

You are GLAD about the natural disasters?? Watch the current videos of flooding in manila. doesnt that just make you smile? (in a christian sort of way) Oh... old women terrified and dazed by the landslide that destroyed their village in Taiwan. You are glad? Am i hearing you right?

What an incredibly sick religion.


now lets take some poor farmer in Egypt. Never had any chance to hear about your "god". Probably would have been killed if he did try to worship it.
So, lets see, first god wrecks his crop... all his work gone. hungry children crying, he is in despair. Oh, now, send an angel to kill his son and his livestock. To get some king to change his mind, when a quick kick from a heavenly boot would have done it in a second.

Not that it really happened but something to celebrate? Mothers wailing for ther dead children and someone else celebrates? I dont know if even Ted Bundy would go that far.

More reasons for christians to be glad. But like you said "he' can make you happy or miserable, so... be happy! Be sure to watch the videos from manila and smile a self satisfied christian smile. laugh even, its ok.

Sounds like "satan" wrote revelation.

I would never ever have anything to do with a revolting religion like christianity.

So we are supposed to think god is just doing them a favor by causing them to slowly starve to death? or leaving them crushed, bleeding, and suffering for hours or days on end under the rubble to finally perish from the pain, the injuries, thirst and starvation.
He can thunder his vengeance and wrath to move entire mountains to kill babies, and yet not lift so much as his little finger to relieve their sufferings?
Some gawd you got for yourself there dude!

Jesus said, You must become as pure as an innocent child before you can walk in to the Kingdom of God.

If you take that verse literally, then you would know that all children are rewarded a life in Christ. Unborn infants, or small children are saved in the name of Jesus.

Abortion Doctors will probably end up serving eternity in Hell because God said "You Shalt Not Murder!" An unborn infant is a living being.

I've seen all of the videos, including the 2004 Tsunami, The Taiwan disasters..etc,etc. And my conclusion is this is the end of days Jesus spoke about. He said watch for these signs.. and I can't help but see the signs.

Adolf Hitler said the same thing. "Christianity was invented by sick brains." - Adolf Hitler 1942.

I'm quite sure everyone in Egypt has heard of YHWH.

Yes, Muslim nations are strict.

What can I say? God is a God of Love and Vengeance. He warns us about this. Tempting the hand of God is like trying to dismantle a bomb.

I'm very glad I have found God. I can watch these videos you're talking about, and like I said, I can only imagine we are living in the earth's final hours. God is sending his wrath on a world that has turned evil.

No one is asking you to. That is your choice.

Hmmm.... so your Gawd prefers to take away these little children's lives while they are babies because they are innocent-so he gets to 'save' them from their parents and from themselves, from becoming the 'sinners' that they otherwise might grow up to be?
So doing them a 'favor', he lovingly smashes the life out of some them under tons of rocks,
or drowns them along with the rats in the floods that he causes,
while others he 'mercifully' sets it up so they just oh so slowly starve to death.
And who is the Master Potter that makes the Abortion Doctors? are they also not serving him and furthering his cause?
He loves dead babies, kills 'em by the thousands himself, every single day, and also makes men to be as they are,
(clay in his hands- "Shall the clay say to its Maker, Why hast thou formed me thus?") wherefore they are ready and willing to assist him.

There are not any good reasons for people to believe that Bible prophecy is true. You have not provided any evidence of any Bible prophecy that reasonably proves that a God inspired it. I suggest that you pick your favorite fulfilled Bible prophecy and discuss it.

I request that you make a post in my thread at http://www.freeratio.org/showthread.php?t=275259 at the General Religious Discussions Forum. The title is "Message to conservative Christians: Why does God predict the future?" I have asked that question to Christians on numerous occasions, but so far, no Christian has provided a reasonable answer.

So, why do you call people evil who have abortions in the 1st trimester, or within a few weeks of fertilization, months before the embryo is even fully developped?

Perhaps you want your God to kill the baby after it is born and have it displayed internationally on TV.

No, the Bible implies that after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God essentially told them that life would become very difficult on earth. God has been consistently attacking and killing humans and innocent animals by various means ever since, including with storms, plagues, volcanoes, famines, and droughts. The God of the Bible has injured and killed more humans and animals than other causes combined. With the Bubonic plague and the Irish Potato Famine alone, God killed millions of people. Who do you suppose caused the first miscarriage, and created homosexuality in over 500 species of birds and animals? We can discuss these issues further at the General Religious Discussions Forum if you wish.
