Thread: Is God aggressive?

Do you honestly believe a GOOD father would watch his children become corrupted by liberalism and zionism, and do nothing at all????

If a degenerate wanted to get into your daughter's drawers......would you just stand by idly and let him, or would you be a GOOD parent, and protect your children from the disgust and evil of the world???

IMO that's some really sick logic. What's the difference between that act and the ones in which people sacrificed their kids to the fire? If you want to make a true sacrifice then sacrifice yourself, not someone else in an attempt to redeem yourself. On top of that, Jesus didn't stay dead and he didn't eliminate sin.

According to the story people will still end up in the lake of fire. If it had been a true sacrifice he would have taken the sinners' place in the lake of fire and ended sin. Instead he took a few days off, bounced back, and went fishing with his buddies over the next 40 days.

People spend way too much time worrying who other people marry.

Do you honestly believe a "christian" church would marry homosexuals?

Do you honestly believe God ordains and oversees the blessing of sexual deviants?

If Gays want to get married, then they should do it in a synagogue where they belong. That's my opinion on this matter. TRUE Christian churches and congregations will never marry gays and homosexuals, so this is a non-issue. The government wants to get in on some GOD action, which is why liberals are attempting to legislate morality. Obama was just the first step in this direction, the first slide down the slippery slope water slide. It's a LONG WAY to the bottom.

Where is our government mandated Church system? What does a liberal temple look like? Show me. Show me the "House of God" that would willingly marry two homosexuals together and PRETEND.....what a joke.....that this is what HE had in mind concerning "family".

Can two homos produce children? No? I didn't think so. Homosexuality is abhorrent, sexually deviant, and just another zionist attack against the traditional, conservative, FAMILY unit. Do you want to know which people hate families the most? Bastards.....parentless children who have never had a family to call their own, the forgotten, the hurt, the cast aways.

What you people don't know, or have mysteriously forgotten, was that CHRIST was a defender of these bastards and parentless children. Why do you think He took them in, sheltered them, fed them, and gave them sanctuary? Because He wanted to show bastards what FAMILY truly means. And family does NOT mean tolerating sexual deviancy. You may as well have sex with animals, as far as I'm concerned.

Interesting that a discussion on aggression was, probably unavoidably, going to lead to a discussion on sex. Many Psychiatric and Neurological study's have demonstrated the two to be closely related.

So would it be safe to assume that there is some sort of sexual dominance mechanism responsible for God's aggressive actions?

My belief is that God is to us as we would be to an ant - immeasurably beyond my understanding. Those who have written about God have done so in human terms. Obviously that's very limiting.
The simplest way I could describe God is the living force that binds all things.
I have no problem with those of differing faiths, agnostics and atheists, however I find the active belief that something CAN'T exist (i.e. belief in a negative) to be illogical and usually emotion-based.

As far as being demonstrable, those with a closed-mind would not appreciate personal experience so why bother. But then, you've never seen demonstrable evidence of life on other planets. Do you believe it possible? I do.
I believe in many things that I have not seen demonstrable evidence of.

You kids crack me up. You act as though aggression is some sort of sin. Take World War 2 as an example. If the Allies during World War 2 had not been aggressive, where would mankind be in relation to defeating the Nazis? Once you enter those gates of a holocaust camp, it's time to grab some rope and a ladder and get down to business!

God has no problem with aggression so long as it accomlishes his will. Make no mistake, you ain't seen anything yet. Just wait till Revelation plays out.

There's an element of truth in that. Only atheists are crazy enough to believe that people should be skeptical and base their beliefs on sound reason and evidence.

The Nazis were violently defeated, and in the process German civilians - non-combatant human beings - were firebombed.

Not that I disagree with taking the Nazis down, but obviously aggression will always lead to negative results, even if there's a "greater good" involved, which beating the Nazis was.

The allies participation in WW2 was not an act of aggression. It was an act of defense in retaliation of the Axis' aggression.

And God can accomplish his will without aggression, if he can't then why call him God?
