If "Holiness" is "godliness" or being god-like, then no thanks! That psycho specifically killed innocent children in the Bible! Yes, innocent children (allegedly)....and most Christians can't summon the moral courage to condemn that psycho for that. You are better than "god" if you shy away from killing innocent children.
Obviously the Angels make judgments in the meantime. There is the issue of purgatory for the nonrepentant, for example. Presumably Archangel Raguel is in charge of that.
JESUS can't do that.....either he can't, in which case he's not all-powerful like the Bible claims, or he WON'T, in which case he's a vile immoral prick, and is clearly not loving like the Bible claims. Either way he's not worth my worship, nor the worship of any loving person alive, for sure.
I'd have warned the people about the 2004 Aceh tsunami if I had Jesus' magic super-powers (240,000 people died)....would you, yabber, if you had those skills? If not, then MSH is far far more loving than you are, so you'll want to consider abandoning the obviously less-loving Jesus. Jesus sat on his hands, didn't warn them, and was perfectly fine with INNOCENT people dying like that. He's a monster compared to Modern Secular Humanists.
So the Bible is wrong, dead wrong, correct? In other words, Jesus is not around today in any way, correct? Belief in the divinity of Jesus is a delusion then, correct?
I believe in freedom of speech, so I don't advocate burning Bibles.....but Jesus advocates burning HUMANS, in his barbaric "lake of fire"....a true savage if their ever was one.
Well, Mason's cell was small and his fellow cellmates were the scum of the Earth. The poor souls who had to feed these "people" placed themselves behind shields during feeding time. For those liking life in prison as a fair sentence---then ya'll should be satisfied. Manson and all his family that took part in Helter Skelter killings should have all been executed, however the Leftist Supreme Court made a colossal breach of judgment and justice, and they all got off.
I just find it fulfilling to be grateful to Someone greater than myself. I think you're searching for freedom in all the wrong places. Blaming God is as old as human history.
That's not what I said, but believe anything you want to. Even Mohammad considered Jesus an important prophet, if you think he is worth nothing but your hatred, knock yourself out.
The godless has an unending cast of characters.....but Jesus loves you all too. He desires that none of you perish.
hell is a christer invention no where is there a literal hell in judaism which christers said they are descended from
I didn't say god DID IT, I'm just saying that I'm more caring than their barbaric god is because I'd have warned those hundreds of thousands of innocent people if I had his alleged magic super-powers. He's a monster, an uncaring monster. Not sure what that says about people who worship/follow him.
So if Jesus is considered the messiah ("Isa") in Islam, then Jesus has the ability to largely end Jihad violence, this longest of all US wars (with no end in sight), by telling Muslims that they got it all wrong. I'd of course do that if I were Jesus, but Jesus is too selfish, or more likely just not real, to do that. If people are killing, and consider you a messiah, you have a moral responsibility to tell them you're not really the messiah (assuming that Christianity is correct, and not Islam). Jesus is either not real, or very very immoral.
Nonsense - that psycho god will see that Richard burn, burn, and burn some more just for not believing in Jesus magic! That's worse treatment than even HITLER meted out to the Jews. A savage. A barbarian. A disgusting creature.
Hell is Absence from God. But that is my opinion. Tell ya what..I'll ask all these questions when I get where I am going. Which is in the Presence of God.
You make a very good point and here's an elaboration on that idea. https://www.steynonline.com/8264/degrees-of-separation
