Does God Hold Us Responsible ?

Does God Hold Us Responsible ? ?????

Of course, you may never have thought about the matter. -- If this is your opinion--
Who holds us accountable ?-- God.---- Who, then, fixes our fate ? Many would also answer: “God ??‘That would never happen,’ you say -yet, according to some, that is what God does. If good and bad are from God -and he has written everything on our foreheads, as it were, why would he hold us responsible for doing bad ??

[Theland]

Don't be ridiculous.
I owe no apology to anybody.
Take a step back.
I am discussing God.
Atheists don't believe so have nothing to discuss.
So what's the problem?
What's your problem?
The gospel is simple to understand, reject it at your eternal peril, and don't judge me, you are in no position to do so.
Fun and games for atheists?
Enjoy.
Why bother?
Are you trying to prove something?
You have failed.

[Mamyalynne]

Theland, calm down and think - you are responding erratically and adding threats in does you no favours.

Walk away from the thread for a while.

[andy-hughes]

Threats again? There is only one person being ridiculous on this thread Theland. Come back when you've learned a little of the humility your faith advertises, and pick up some manners and maturity while you're there.

[Theland]

Is talking down to me totally necessary?
What happened to the conversation?
These threads seem to have a predictable format, an air of loftiness that when challenged by me, produces ever more demands from you Andy, and the usual suspects.
Get back on track.

//I am discussing God.//

Me too, Theland. You may believe as you will but the message you are conveying is responsible for destroying lives so if you think it will go unchallenged, think again because that neither you nor anyone else has a right to do.

//What happened to the conversation? // … you ask. What indeed? A singularly unimpressive performance from you once again.

[Theland]

What message is destroying lives? How? Whose lives.

Also, Naomi, if you think you are deserving of an apology from me, then I do so apologise for any display of I'll manners, although I did at the time merely consider my posts robust and not offensive.
That aside, please accept my apologies for any offence caused.

The gospel is simple to understand, reject it at your eternal peril.

There is no god, the bible is a worthless piece of fiction.

I am still awaiting a thunderbolt to strike me down ,lol.

[Theland]

Sparkly - yours is a widely held view. Based on what?

[SparklyKid]

There is no clear evidence of the existence of unicorns, leprauchauns or fairies. Seems good to me. I prefer the Harry Potter books to the silly bible rubbish.

[Theland]

Your views are respected.

[naomi24]

Theland, there is at least two people on this site whose lives have been adversely affected by the destructive message you promote. Acknowledge you’re a sinner and worship God - or else! Perhaps when Jesus said ‘Forgive them Father for they know not what they do’, he was talking about people like you - as ignorant as they are arrogant.

I didn’t ask for an apology. Apologies only work if they’re genuine - and that is something I would never expect from you.

[Theland]

The message I promote is the simple gospel message.
Can it be changed?
How?
By who?

[naomi24]

I couldn't care less where you get your message but neither you nor anyone else has any business telling other people they're doomed. Get over yourself, Theland.

[Theland]

I beg your pardon Naomi, I have never told anybody they are doomed.

[naomi24]

It's not my pardon you should be begging. I recognise superstitious nonsense when I see it.

[Theland]

You need to launch your hate campaign against the Church of England then.
The Queen is head of the Church of Superstition.

[Peter Pedant]

my god the blaarters are back and how"

The message I promote is the simple gospel message.
Can it be changed? - How? = By who?

it is obvious the text is interpreted in the context of the time - you know like now 2020.
you may wonder what the original text was 2000 y ago as it is clearly that old, and it is reasonable to ask what they thought htne of it
BUT for example - over the last hundred years the discoveries at Oxyrhynhcus show or discredit the idea that there was a dialect of Biblical Greek and the common people spoke as int the bible NT texts

this is just an example of how interpretation changes and why

and sozza again completely out of kilter with the rest of this thread

// The Queen is head of the Church of Superstition.//
oo-er Mrs !
can anyone see the Scarlet Woman galloping over the horizon ?

[Theland]

Its like having the thought police after me!

[naomi24]

No hate from me, Theland. Look to yourself. The whole world is wrong … except Theland.
