Seriously, the spreading of "the word" is very easy, listening is very hard. Back then (in the OT) even when the Israelites saw what God did and could do, they still turned their backs. When Jesus came,they saw and they gasped but they wanted to kill HIM over their traditions and comfortable way of life so to speak. Alas we are seemingly by ourselves.
Those that want to be with God will act accordingly by choice if they believe by faith, in this world, and those that don't want to be in the new world is fine too.
Don't worry about those who have not had the word yet and pass away. They will be judged fairly e.g. by what's in their hearts and what they've done imo, because that is the atribute of a Righteous God.
And so...God of the bible would be weaker than who if HE is the ultimate Creator? God regrets making man but HE hasn't failed any tests of some god academy or mans knowledge of how a God should be especially since the laws are ULTIMATELY made by HIM. A flawed notion to the theology.Though to answer your post, yes, I do think you have described your god as weak and not omnipotent.

how?
Seriously, how can you use this? In what way? If the Bible says 'do not be perverse' and the answer to 'what is perverse?' includes: "3The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him"
So, if nothing helps you decide what is or isn't perverse, because it's okay if someone masturbates and it's also okay if someone eschews masturbation, as long as God accepts them, then how do you decide what you can or cannot do?
So I can show a little more humility and compassion to others, my friend.
Yeah, but that still doesn't answer the question about whether or not your base desires are perverse.
Sure, maybe you can't judge Zeus when HE says 'I'm gonna stick my dick in it' but this was offered as an answer to how we tell what 'perverse' actually is.
So how can you use that answer 1eye gave to that question?
I have a good friend (Brandon) who is a homosexual male and enjoys a healthy and fulfilling relationship with his husband. Many christians believe their relationship to be perverse, but...
Sounds like as long as Brandon and his husband do not see anything unclean in their marriage or relationship there's nothing perverse about it. It's only wrong if one of the christians who thinks it's wrong does it.Originally Posted by 1ICrying
Does that about sum it up?
Wut.
THEN FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HUMANE, WHY DO YOU CAUSE PEOPLE TO NOT BE JUDGED BY THEIR GOOD HEARTS WHEN YOU RECKLESSLY INFECT THEM WITH THE WORD THAT IF THEY DON’T BELIEVE YOU THEY ARE NOW BOUND FOR HELL?

I jest. You mentioned before about avoiding to answer questions.
If they hear the word and don't believe then the word DID reach them anyway? I was talking of those who have never heard. Besides its a case by case basis. Many people who aren't convinced are considered lost sheep. If you don't believe then there's nothing to worry about.THEN FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HUMANE, WHY DO YOU CAUSE PEOPLE TO NOT BE JUDGED BY THEIR GOOD HEARTS WHEN YOU RECKLESSLY INFECT THEM WITH THE WORD THAT IF THEY DON’T BELIEVE YOU THEY ARE NOW BOUND FOR HELL?
