He also sees you when you’re sleeping, and knows when you’re awake.
It’s not nuts - it’s just irrelevent. It’s feel-good stuff for people who want to be loved, that doesn’t interfere with the fact that God is a bad mofo who will take you out back and work you over forever if you have a hair out of line. They’re two different narratives that exist for different purposes and are declared not to interfere with each other.
Jesus is Jesus. I am just a man. As a man I know all about hate and am not always able to keep it at bay. Knowing what God would do is far beyond my limited mentality.
I like to believe I am a Christian although I fail to do the right thing every day.
Answer your question?
That’s because religion denies the need for even self consistency. If you actually take this seriously, yes, it’s nuts, and exceedingly creepy as well. Serial killer creepy. “Oh, I love you, I love you soooo much . . . and LOOK, the hot coals and acid are ready !”
Probably. What’s the purpose of asking though?
…ah’ll be in mah bunk.
That’s why many Christians don’t believe in hell.
Mercy, mercy me!
Could God create a person so contemptible that he himself could not love?
Things ain’t what they used to be.
Well, if it helps, my three-year-old told me the other day that he loves Jesus more than me and Mommy. So Jesus must be doing something right.
Remember he said that next time he asks for a toy.
“Maybe your Jesus will buy that for you one day.”
There are different kinds of love; I mean, Jesus isn’t having sex with bin Laden.
Uh, I mean, wait a second…
Well, my kids don’t exist. And…
Jesus used to exist. Your children may exist in the future, unless you have fertility issues I don’t know about.
Yes. They would.
I wouldn’t, necessarily, but some Christians would.
There’s your answer to the thread, folks. It’s obviously “Rio” by Durand Durand.
I believe so; yes.
This would mean that Jesus is more grieved at bin Laden’s sin and malice than a parent would be at anything his/her child might do, and that Jesus would rejoice more if bin Laden were to repent and become reconciled to God and to the rest of the people God loves, than a parent could be at any reconciliation with his/her child.
