Hehehe, I believe we're getting somewhere at least tongue since your still here on the thread and you don't feel the need to knock my brain grin

Exactly. If he's perfect then you should expect nothing less than that as his "Word", right? If the word is imperfect and deformed then it says the same about the author too. And if Yahweh, the author is imperfect then he's no god because God is suppose to be perfect...am I making sense to you?
No

Let's go again, more slowly this time. Stay with me. Let me use the lion giving birth to a goat analogy. It may not be the most suited analogy but I believe you're very familiar it. A lion cannot give birth to a goat. Perfection can't give birth to imperfection. If we see a goat then we can be sure the parent is also a goat not a lion. In the same vane, if we see an imperfect "Word of God" then we can expect its author to be imperfect.

Capisce??

@Xcapist I have been following your thread Frm d beginning to this time and I can say I have gained a lot especially from pastoraio with his honest "long" answer,I can't believe a pastor can be that honest about God, and spiritual matters.

One thing I have noticed is that Christians,I mean staunch Christians have formed deep emotional attachment with "Yahweh". It's just like When you love someone deeply, no matter What negative thing another person might tell you about your lover,you won't believe it nor want to accept it because of the emotional attachment you have with the person,you would only think the person is jealous.
The same thing applies to Christians,They are emotionally bonded to "Yahweh" so whatever negative thing you say or imply or that you are driving at, would be opposed logically or illogically,because "Yahweh" is So dear to their heart you shouldn't mess with "him/it/her" .

If you want to have a reasonable debate with Christians first make them understand that you do not hate "Yahweh", that you are not against Christianity, that you don't think their belief is silly,you just have to appeal to their emotions first and respect their beliefs. Trust me that is exactly What the British Christians did to make primitive yorubas renounce their gods for "Yahweh" and That's the same way you can make them............you know the rest.......... wink

You think u can use human logic to understand God. Just so u know, He can not be contained and that is why He deals with pple in diverse ways. To me that doesn't mean he isn't perfect. Reason him out the way u want to. But u can never get me to reason in the same line. So continue site anoda example. My answer is still.. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Go and kill ursef cheesy

Clap for yourself. Just know it's blind, unquestionable faith that is responsible for the brainwashed BH, ISIS people, people eager to do what their god commands without using their 'god-given' mind to ask questions... because after all, you can't use logic to understand god.

Go and kill ursef? Will Jesus say that?

. Yes!! Since the person is absolutely perfect the He must know what He is doing. It is you that is imperfect that has failed to see it.

I am not brain washed by anybody and no pastor milks me. To me, all these pastor are human which means they are subjectable to flaws and they also err. My perfect example is Christ. If Jesus can call some people "generations of vipers" or "Fool" then I'm sure he can tell the likes of u to go and kill ur sef cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy what is BH ISIS people o

. Good question. Now the bible says our imperfection is made perfect in Him. Its just as little babies who have no record of the past and can do nothing on their own. Showing them how to go about things shows we- Adults are kinda perfect and when people see ur kid outside they say... "Awww such a perfect girl, her manners are impeccable" got it?

Good point. grin I'm sure he's seated at the right hand side of God now, with a big grin nodding his approval and flashing you a thumbs up for your able representation...

Re: If The Old Testament Is Of A Perfect God, Why The New Testament?? by Nobody: 11:35pm On Oct 03, 2014
PastorAIO you said something about someone being able to predict your choices because the person knows your personality, But are you then trying to say that God knows our personality before he created us? If Yes,What were we before God created us? Did our personality exist before we existed because obviously If you know about something before it materialize that means you designed it yourself then I can say God designed my personality because he knew my personality before I was created,hence I have no take in the formation of my personality, and by implication I have no freewill Since According to you choices (freewill) comes as a result of our personality.

The Christian faith is not blind, it is trusting. Also, the Christian faith asks and answers questions. It is another matter if you are willing to hear its answers.

Sometimes we give them answer just for the sake of other readers who have open hearts to read and digest the message.
As for the likes of Dapo, your answers might be falling in a stony heart.

Good thread.

If Yahweh is supposedly perfect and primordial, What happened to him? Why create the world? Was he just bored or incomplete?

A perfect being does not need advancement or improvement, no.
