There is indeed one God, deg, which makes me wonder why you'd create an imaginary dead god of fear in your own head and ignore the loving God.

What you don't know is that the God of love is equally The Judge. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

OLAADEGBU:

It is those who are naked like you are that fear God and fall into God's hands.

Those who trully worship God can not possibly "fall into the hands of the living God" nor should they feel the need to fear!

You need to hear the full gospel.

OLAADEGBU:


You need to hear the full gospel.

No I don't "need to just "hear the full gospel"! One should try to understand the Word and see the love of God in it and not just hear it and tremble in fear like satan must!

Perhaps your problem is an inability to read. Here's a copy of the ESV. All you need to do is spend some data and it's your's. Listen to it read to you then maybe you too might understand and preach the Love of God instead of your god of fear that you tremble to.

What do you do when you see the love of God in the Bible, do you obey Him?

Why will I be looking for the love of God in the Bible degbu? Is the Bible God, or are you just choosing to disobey God?

How did you know about the love of God if not from the Bible?

OLAADEGBU:


How did you know about the love of God if not from the Bible?

By seeing others love, deg, and by being loved myself and by then practising loving others after reading numerous books about love too.

Unlike some, deg, I do not live by bread alone nor do I merely believe. I use my senses at every opportunity the Good Lord places before me so that I may grow and develop and aspire to at least be better.

Gordon Sylvester in response to the depiction below:

Here is the problem when Christians try and reconcile the false belief of evolution with the Bible.

If evolution were in fact true, then there would have been death from the beginning.
If there was death from the beginning then death didn't enter at the fall of man.
If death didn't enter at the fall then death is not the result of sin and there is no need for a Saviour.

But evolution isn't true, it isn't even a true theory since is can be duplicated not is it observable. It is therefore just a hypothesis.

When God said He made man in His image, that was instant creation, He said He created every creature and plant according to its kind.
There was no goo-to-you that occurred.

Adaptation is a whole other thing but a canine while adapting remains a canine for example.

There are many kinds of love, what kind of love are you referring to?

It is high time you started using your revelation sense when your physical senses fall short.

OLAADEGBU:

That's the lie you tell yourself when you lack love in your own heart.

If you go back over this conversation you'd know we are talking of the love God has for you.

How will you know it's the love of God if it does not come from the Bible?

OLAADEGBU:


How will you know it's the love of God if it does not come from the Bible?

I know the love of God because I receive love from God.

When God is fulfilling the wonderful plan God has for me because of the love God has from me it does not come from the Bible but from God. If it did come from the Bible, I would be bowing down to the Bible like one who reads the words but misses its spirit as you do.

Is this 'love of God' tolerant of your sin?

Did God tell you I had sin?

Are you saying you have no sin?

OLAADEGBU:

Of course I have sin. And yes, God must love me.

Again I ask. Does this love God has for you tolerate your sin?

God does not tolerate any sin. God just loves his creations despite their sins.

If you say He loves you despite your sins, what does He expect you to do with those sins?

OLAADEGBU:

You must have it in your head that I go about committing sin when I don't. That's why I don't fear God like constantly sinful you.

By your own admission, you have sinned. My question to you is; What does your loving God require of you to do with your sin?

OLAADEGBU:

Have sinned. Past tense. God has lovingly shown me the errors of my ways and lovingly taught me to go and sin no more. [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A12-14&version=NIV]God is so loving and merciful[/url] like that.

Time does not forgive sins. If a human judge would not forgive crimes because it was committed in the past how much more a just God? No sinner will go unpunished. The moment God allows a sin to go free without being punished He ceases to be a Just Judge.

OLAADEGBU:

God is not a "human judge". A human judge does not forgive 70 times 7 times before throwing your guilty ass in jail.

God is a lot more forgiving than humans.

God is infinitely more just and holy, and He warns that He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.

OLAADEGBU:


God is infinitely more just and holy, and He warns that He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.

Yet, God is loving and merciful and constantly forgiving of even the most guilty and sinful.

You should try loving God with all your heart and mind and soul and being, then God will comfort you and you too will fear no more.

Why should God forgive the most guilty and sinful? If a human judge forgives every convicted criminal would you say the judge is a good and judge?

God is not a human judge!

If God was a human judge he would have burnt or flooded or turned all humans to salt a long time ago, but because God is loving and merciful, despite humans continued sinful nature, God sent his only begotten Son to teach us Godly ways, and though humans crucified him, God has not forsaken us because God is indeed infinitely loving, merciful and wise.

If a criminal who is rapist and a murderer who had raped and murdered a loved one of yours stands before a human judge and the human judge has pity on the convicted criminal and then says I forgive you, I commute your sentence thereby setting you free because I pardon you. Would you say that this human judge is such a loving and merciful judge?
