According to James Rachels, no being could be considered worthy of worship.

Oh sorry. I have a warped sense of humor. Yes I am serious about my beliefs. I am a born again Christian, although I never thought of myself as a "fundie". |

I have seen horrible things too winstonjen, things most people have never seen and I pray never do. They have drawn me closer to God, not further away. (I am not talking about visions or anything mystical like that.) I have seen true healing, God's hand relieving misery and suffering. Romans 6 1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Romans 6 15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 1 John 3 2Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. 4Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 1 John 5 18We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. |
