guess what, God doesn't give us a choice as to whether or not we wanted to be created in the first place, and we're forced to love Him or be sent to Hell no matter how much He lets the Devil fuck up our lives
Man had the choice to sin or not. Man's sin messes up his own life without any help from the devil.
Suggest you turn on comment moderation 'Silla.
yes, you have all the characteristics of a Christian Allan - oppression, exclusivity, pussy
tell that to Job, or the blind man by the well, or Eve, plus you're still ignoring the fact that man did not choose to be created in order to have choice in the first place. it's like being held hostage by an Islamic who says convert or be killed - there is no real choice because you didn't choose to be in that situation in the first place
The Islamic never had the authority to require that response.
God created us and set our rules and responsibilities. He does have the authority to demand such things.
Man has this nasty habbit of wanting to be like God when the reality is that God is above man and always will be.
It is arrogant for the creation to think it's creator owes it anything. It is arrogant to refuse to believe that the creator holds the creation responsible for that which it was created to do.
Job endured hardship because he knew his creator was above him and that his creator had the best in mind. Job was prepared to accept that what he desired might not be what was desired by God.
Eve listened to the same hiss from the serpent. She was tempted to be like God.
Not a lot has changed in what we desire. And absolutely nothing has changed in our ability to be so.
more like you're unable to answer the question. even in the creation of a State for it to be fundamentally just authority is only governed by consent. you're saying if a baby is born and its parents don't take care of it, it is arrogant for it to think its parents owe it anything. who gives a shit about being like God, some people just want to die without the threat of going to Hell. they deserve that right as they never agreed with being created in the first place
You assume that God's characteristics and attributes are identical to man's.
In order for you to justify your view of God, you make God like man.
So your conclusions are based on false data. If you accepted that God was perfectly holy and righteous then you'd have different conclusions about what he should or should not do.
Nohing has changed. You still make man and God equal. They never will be.
