1 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | IneffableUniverse | 46014 | ||
John, would you be so kind as to tell me what terrible sins I have committed??? I am a registered nurse. I have administered to the sick and dying. I have shown great compassion for those in pain, physical and/or mental. I have not murdered anyone or broken any of man's laws (with the exception of a speeding ticket 12 years ago.), and I don't think I have broken any of God's laws. But I do not PRESUME to know what those are! The bible was written thousands of years ago in a different time and under far different circumstances. I find it contains much wisdom, a little history, and LOTS of mythology. I do NOT think a loving, compassionate, creative god-like entity would cast those of us who are also loving and compassionate but who may have chosen a differnt path, other than Christianity, into a hellish existence for eternity. Hell is right here on earth. I see it in the suffering, the wars, the famines, and all the other disasters that mankind either brought about upon himself, or was subjected to by "Mother Nature" and the laws of physics. I am a Unitaritan Universalist. I'm happy, have compassion for my fellow human beings and try to live a moral life. Why would god condemn me just because I don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, the man? IF God exists, I believe he/she/it accepts us ALL!........nancy | ||||||

You use some "interesting" logic. You believe something and that makes it true. Try this: where the Word of God is concerned, it is true and that's why I believe it. It was true before I was ever born. It will still be true 1,000 years after my death. It would be true even if I had never been born. - - - - - - - - - - - - - You say: "and I don't think I have broken any of God's laws." God, who cannot lie, says: Romans 3:10-19 (ESV) as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; [11] no one understands; no one seeks for God. [12] All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." [13] "Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips." [14] "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness." [15] "Their feet are swift to shed blood; [16] in their paths are ruin and misery, [17] and the way of peace they have not known." [18] "There is no fear of God before their eyes." [19] Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. Romans 3:23 (ESV) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 (ESV) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
