IDEAS OF GOD: TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN TEACHINGS DO NOT MAKE SENSE

"One need look to no source other than the bible to discover its imperfections, for it contradicts
itself and thus exposes its own imperfection. It contradicts itself on matters of justice, for the
same just God who assures His people that sons shall not be punished for the sins of their
fathers, turns around and destroys an entire household for the sin of one man (he had stolen
some of Yahweh's war loot). It was this same Yahweh who afflicted thousands of His innocent
people with plague and death to punish their evil King David for taking a census!? It was the
same Yahweh who allowed the humas to slaughter his Son because the perfect Yahweh had
botched His own creation. Consider how many have been stoned, burned, slaughtered, raped
and enslaved because of Yahweh's skewed sense of justice. The blood of innocent babies is on
the perfect, just, compassionate hands of Yahweh."
"The bible contradicts itself on matters of history. A person who reads and compares the
contents of the bible will be confused about exactly who Esau's wives were; whether Timnah was
a concubine or a son, and whether Jesus' earthly lineage is through Solomon or his brother
Nathan. These are but a few of hundreds of documented historical contradictions. If the bible
cannot confirm itself in mundane earthly matters, how are we to trust it on moral and spiritual
matters? The bible is imperfect. It only takes one imperfection to destroy the supposed
perfection of this alleged word of God. Many have been found. A perfect God who reveals His
perfect will in an imperfect book is impossible."
Good points from our atheist. How could a God of love, who Jesus showed us, be the same God
we read about in the old testament? Somehow, man's interpretation of who God is in the bible,
must have gone awry. God, who is love, perfect and good, cannot also be evil and a murderer.
For the bible itself says God is unchanging. Therefore, if God is perfect, He cannot be a lover
and a murderer. God is love and is not fear. God is life and is not death. God is truth and
cannot lie. God cannot contradict Himself. The bible's contradictions concerning who God is,
should be the biggest red flag that something is wrong with this supposed perfect work. Ask
God to reveal His nature to you personally, by the Spirit within your very being. It will come to
you as a "knowing within" of the truth.
4) Here is a statement our atheist friend makes that will make your head spin if you think on it a
bit:
"A God who knows the future is powerless to change it."
In other words, God could not change the future from what He knows it to be. Otherwise, the
outcome would be different than what He formerly knew it to be. Then, would He have really
known the future the first go around? That still makes my mind twist thinking on that one!
Maybe, our atheist is correct in this thought. Who knows, I certainly don't. Although, I do believe
the future is set and that being, all of us are on a path to bring us back to the knowledge of the
truth of who we are, and who God is. In my mind, that future will be accomplished!
God is love. Love is an emotion that can be all encompassing and unwavering - an eternal, deep
love is possible; and that love is God. We receive this deep love when we commune with our
heavenly Father from within. The portrayal of God by religion, as a roller coaster of hatred, anger,
frustration and fear cannot be true. Those very attributes are found in our own minds, and are
produced by the illusion of this world, which is temporary and passing away. Love, patience and,
kindness are eternal for, "Love never fails." So, what am I saying? I am saying that religion has
produced a god for us to believe in that is false. Religion has falsely told us who we are. I am
saying, the christian religion is misleading people into believing falsehoods about God and
mankind....and all in Jesus' name. Jesus would never have agreed with their teachings.

"Did you ever notice
Jesus only attacked
religious leaders and
never the common
people? Is it any
wonder that so many
doctrines and
denominations of
Christianity exist today?
Could it be that leaders
never understood
Jesus' true message as
parables needing to be
interpreted spiritually,
and not literally?"
