I think the answers you seek are in the new test..
like in old, moses had many wifes. many prophets did. Eye for a eye.
Things changed after god sent christ down..
Yup I am familiar with what omnipotent means.Quote:

Just as allowing slavery would be as well. So I don't really see what you're saying.
Yeah thats a good point, and I realise that the new testament is much more in line with the morals of todays society, and I probably wouldn't have a problem with the new testament. This is where I see a problem: god wrote the old testament, right? (I'm assuming this is right, I don't actually know). Why should god's morals change? Isn't god the perfect being? Did he write the old testament, wait a few thousand years, then make some changes for the better? If so, then is he in some way experimenting with us? Because what I don't understand, is how a perfect being could be wrong. And, by changing the old testament to the new testament, isn't that indicating that god thought that the old testament was wrong in some places?Quote:

Thats why he sent Jesus. God laid out very simple rules, and it was cut and dry.. Humans would of just keep getting themselves turned to pilers of salt, or get swallowed by whales and people would of continued see horrible punishment for their actions. God seeing that humans couldn't/wouldn't save themselves, God so LOVED the world he gave his only begotten son.. john 3:16
He continues to be patient with us and only wants you and every person on earth to love him and love thy neighbor..
No one ever said being a Father was easy..
Just have a piece of mind that god IS in control and live life as you feel god would or to where you think he might be proud..
Hey if you are going to look at it like a Catholic or Christian just read the book. Mary and Joseph had a baby boy that they named Jesus. I mean that's the way I look @ it..
According to BirdGirl. I am most likely going to make a statement that shouldn't be said BUT. This is strictly opinion.
God is a word for the unknown force that drives everything around us. What are particles made of? What is matter made of? What is energy made of? Maybe god is right in front of us on a daily basis. God is here on earth and maybe thats what the energy is that breaks off everything and allows things to happen. Low energy is a dead or dying thing, something that has been robbed of its energy, its god, but no matter cannot be created or destroyed so the energy ( god ) moves else where to where it is needed. Life is a constant cycle, everything happenes for a reason. Maybe god is part of everything nature has created and what man has created, man needed what god created to make its own products. The particles and energy are still present still in man made products.
Godly subatomic particles.

oh god, and then you think there is such a thing as a perfect being that is biased! HOW IMPERFECT IS THAT???
Perfect MUST be ALL INCLUSIVE, 100% yin, 100% yang, good AND evil.
imperfect is 100% good, or 100% evil. perfect is 100% both.
