@Uyi, are we done? Or are you going to answer my question so we can address your arguments exclusively? |

Uyi Iredia: A dictionary definition that constantly evolves with human understanding? Is that the definition you seek to hold God to for OT acts? Did God approve the definition of love in your dictionary? Secondly, since this definition constantly evolves, how about using the definition of love in the OT times and juxtaposing that against God's actions at the time?
If the punishment for an offence is set by the Judge as eradication from the face of the earth, why do you not consider it justice? Or do you regard your idea of justice as greater or superior to God's?
Like I said, I'm not into defending via expositions - go and read Job and read the bible again as you said. I pray the Holy Spirit will teach you about God as you study. |

Ihedinobi: In fact you summary in my argument in A is wrong for I did not say though I implied that it is loving to forgive neither did I say it is loving to forgive anyone. Read the OP. So points 1 & 2 in A are false. B & C are alright. Now to cut to the chase, my answer to your question is NO. Now I need you to answer my arguments. |

frosbel: Calling you a wimp was indeed an understatement. Reread the verse you quoted. It is an insult. It calls you a follow follow. A sheep. With promises of imaginary eternal life. It calls you a weakling! An animal incapable of intellectual ability. And you accept. You are an insult to wimps. |

Uyi Iredia: You'll do us a favor if you paid a little bit more attention. I was not necessarily quoting your exact words, I was reorganizing your complaint into three arguments of premises and conclusions. To do that, it was necessary to pick up on meanings implicit in your words. Now, what you implied is as good as what you said. If the issue is "anyone", then consider it to read "any offender", your meaning is retained. Argument A is in complete order, there is nothing wrong with it whatsoever. But if you don't agree, just re-craft it yourself and we'll take it from there. Your answer. If the offence is not treated as though it never happened, what exactly does forgiveness accomplish? What is the point of forgiving a debt or offence if their record is still retained? |

debosky: The definition of love has been constant as far as I know, what has changed is the word itself. Your question on God approving of the definition of love is silly. It is patently obvious He has given no disapproval, that can be taken as tacit permit. debosky: It is evident to any reasonable person that punishment should be to the criminal and should fit the crime committed. With God, punishinhg the wrongdoer isn't enough the INNOCENT descendants are also punished. And the punishment is extremely harsh for the crime. Eg killing aman for putting out his hand to stabilize the ark, or cursing all humanity for the sin in the garden. If a human judge were like God, you and I would probably be in bars or long executed. debosky: You wouldn't, since. You would fail woefully at it given what you've written here. Your reply here could be summarized as: God is bigger than you so you can't ssay He isn't loving along with a polite dismissal to read Job - as if I haven't read it. So I must listen to proclamations of how powerful God is why simple questions I have for God are unanswered. |

Alfamann: You know, at some point, you should just go and disprove my God already. I'm getting tired of peeking in at that silly thread of yours every other minute. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by UyiIredia(m): 12:50am On Mar 14, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: Let's work with B & C. As for A leave out points 1 & 2. Now the record is retained because the offence is done. One can't forget it. The point of forgiveness is to hold no grudge concerning the offence and to, as much as possible traet the offender fairly. If forgiveness involved forgetting the offence even God is unforgiving because in punishing the Israelites he sometimes recalled the wrongs of the past. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by Nobody: 12:53am On Mar 14, 2013 |
Uyi Iredia: Without points 1 and 2, the premises for your argument in A are not sufficient. So, we may forget the question of forgiveness altogether. You cool with that? 'Cos it would mean that you don't have any argument against God's love based on forgiveness. Edited. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by UyiIredia(m): 1:03am On Mar 14, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: Actually, they will be ssufficient but for the sake of not stretching the issue I accept it. Now let's move on. |

Uyi Iredia: Right, whatever. B goes:
Ok, with respect to wiping out villages and cities as depicted in the OT, I ask, is it possible that a Creator Who possesses all knowledge and has given man free will should act in ways inscrutable to man without in order to both accommodate man's free will and further His Purpose for creation at the same time? |

Had a great rest.. Seems someone's still dancing to his own tune... Oh well... Was expected anyways... They ignore direct questions like the federal government.. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by UyiIredia(m): 3:42am On Mar 14, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: No. Because we are endowed with intellect which enables us to scrutinize whatever God does. In any case, I suspect you are going about this the way I would have: by asserting that God ressevess the right to do what He pleases. Could you please answer this with a yes or no: Are the massacres sanctioned by God in the OT loving ? |

Ihedinobi: It baffles me when I see some of you Christians struggling to defend God. As if he cannot defend himself. Quit from this foolish act. If Uyi could devote time to search out and read the book that made him begin to question God why cant he also devote time and follow the due process and get his answers from God? You are just wasting time here with him. BE WISE Mr "holy spirit" and allow the Holy Spirit to do his job of guiding him into all truth. |

Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by wiegraf: 8:50am On Mar 14, 2013 |
Logicboy03: Hmmm? Yes, it would have been so if he did care (with you culpable) but he doesn't seem to mind and is even asking for answers himself. Cool, no harm done here but with others this could have come off as intrusive and needless. It's a deeply private issue, unless there was something obvious on the other thread (which I've not read tbf) how did you know he was willing to properly discuss this in public? Or are you just using him to advance your agenda, whatever that may be? |

@InesQ: As I promised... InesQor:This analogy fails, in my opinion, as it fails to highlight the omniscience of God. I assume you're referencing the Christian God. As a human, you would quarantine because that's the limit of your power. What if you could reset? Start all over from the beginning (an oxymoron considering that God is the Beginning and end)? Would you still quarantine, considering the harm and evil that could arise from that decision? |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by Nobody: 9:05am On Mar 14, 2013 |
Uyi Iredia: In other words, you hold that if God exists, we would be on the same intellectual level as Him? Uyi, I've told you enough times, you're free to believe what you will. I am not obliged, however, to sign off on it. I am pursuing my own defence not yours. Therefore, I am free to do as I please with it within the reasonable limits of argument. As for your question, how can I give you a yes/no answer when I don't believe as you do that the incidents in question were massacres. Please stop skipping around and being so irritable, allow me to make the answer you demanded of me. If this is how you treat my response, how differently must you have treated the Lord's? Do you think that you have the God-like intelligence to have asked only the right questions? |

Ihedinobi: You will soon turn atheist. You are just looking for the nudge in the right direction. The seeds of doubt are already in your mind but indoctrination is holding you back. That is why you are so desperate for me to give you proof so you can hold onto something when you declare your atheism. Even your "friend" alexleo is sensing it. That is why he is admonishing you and asking you to stop speaking to us. "if god exists"? hahahaha |
