You simply make up things on your head so that God is not responsible for those things and then believe the things you made up. For example I can say "God isn't responsible for the existence of rape because people have free will", and there we go, no longer God's fault. It's that easy

I never got the free will bullshit argument, in fact reality goes against the premise of free will. If we had true free will we could be anything we want, we could simply use our "free will" to experience something else. Our entire existence goes against the concept of free will. If i wanted to simply be consciousness and explore without a body, i could, if i wanted to experience something in the body for a limited period of time and go out anytime i want, i could. If someone gets raped its literally against their free will since they dont want it, so there's no free will there. However you could still give people that option and just create an npc that doesn't actually exist when they do the bad things and they would have free will for anything.
tl;dr : If we had free will we would be able to be anything we want in existence and not limited to our body and wanting what were programmed to want.

It's hard to grasp and im far from an expert but as a Christian here's my take, life sucks, it's not forever. I've been through my fair share of struggles, and I know how it feels asking "god why, why is this happening to me", and honestly I don't know. To this day I don't know, but I also don't care. This life is this life, do your best, but don't take things so serious, it's fine to stumble, but try hard to not fall again, if you do, just get back up. Slowly we all go home, and way faster than it seems sometimes, and you were gifted the opportunity to help people. Why do these evils exist, why is life so hard? Because we are meant to love, purely, deeply. Love in spite of everything, love relentlessly. If you were married, and got sick and your wife left would you call that love? But we cultivate love through these trials, and we are eternal, the suffering is not. So greet people with a smile, try to show love to the poor, the sick, and the wicked. One person who helped me alot is bishop mar mari Emmanuel, recently he was a victim of a stabbing, he barely survived. He came to ,and prayed for the young man who tried to kill him, evil exist yes, but more good exists in you

That's because you don't understand my point. You can't have free will when you are designed to act in a certain way, think in a certain way, and want to do things that are programmed in you. You don't do what you want, you do what the human animal is programmed to want, you simply fail to see that everything you desire is programmed since birth, true you can make some choices about how you get what you want but that's limited free will not true free will. True free will can't be achieved when in a human form, perhaps if we're pure consciousnes.

So how you define free will? The ability to choose between types of chocolate? That's just taste buds. The ability to choose your lifepath, for example going in a high risk market or safe 9-5? A lot of that is decided by genetics which influence how much of a risk taker you are. Doing something like semen retention? People only do that because they believe there's something to gain and are usually led to that path by living unfulfilling lives. What exactly am i free to choose in this life? What i need was already chose for me at birth. I need to make money in order to buy food and survive and nature wants me to reproduce. I personally don't want kids and won't have them, is that the free will im limited to? To have kids or not? You could argue that also the environment i grew up in made me make that choice. So i'm asking again what exactly am i free to choose when so many preexisting factors make my choice for me?

Well, Anon, to believe in God (and I guess you mean with that the divine creator of the world and it's beings) doesn't necessarily means to believe that God is nice and peaceful. He obviously created the world with a dynamic of dualities, day and night, male and female, life and death, past and future, and, yes: good and evil. So it was his intention that there is evil. Or maybe a world just works with duality and can't be done without. In the end we can just accept that God is not an individual person as we understand it, but a being beyond our comprehension.
The "good" (like angels and heaven) exists, created by God, and you can take it's side. You won't know if God wants you to do that, but he gave you the freedom to choose. Also to choose the "dark side" if you want. If the rules of morality, declared by religion, are really what God wants and thinks is unknown. All humans wo claim to know Gods thoughts are just talking rubbish. We only know our own thoughts about God.
>>
>>37726479
In the beginning our spirits were all with God. In spirit, we all agreed to play the tune of life with the consequences thereof. Who can appreciate water without thirst, food without hunger, or light without darkness. Pain brings a greater unity and fulfillment in redemption.

When you have free will you also have different personalities and motivations, because of individuality some choose evil of their own free will because of the clause of interaction. In a universe where someone was truly free according to your definition there would be a restriction on interaction between individuals. Choosing to harm another individual is just as much a part of free will as acts of benevolence because if you put a restriction on the parameters of ones actions then it isn't truly free will. Honestly you sound like an advocate of Totalitarianism not that I would hold anything against you because you have free will. However I will ask you, don't you think there is virtue in fighting the good fight? Choosing to take form in a realm where there is suffering and sorrow and yet persevering and overcoming in spite of it? What do your words accomplish other than spread the suffering that you advocate against?

You are bound to causality which creates the conditions of the environment in which you are born. Yet, you assume too much and because you lack faith not only in God but yourself, you cannot change even the simplest things in your life. No one says you have to work to survive, people rich and homeless both defy that idea. When you lacked the self-awareness you have demonstrated in thiz pot about causality, it was true you largely lacked the ability to change, but thr fact that you can reflect on how the world has shaped your mind and spirit gives you the power to make a difference. Just have faith.

This will sound messed up to a non believer... but suffering is good for you. It is preparing you for the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a blessing to be persecuted. Struggle and sorrow are for your own spiritual benefit.

Everything in this realm is temporary. Your suffering will end.

Consider this: no one willingly tortures/rapes/causes disease to himself.
The will to oneself is good.
The will to those close to you is also good, but not as good as the will to oneself.
It's mostly strangers or rivals harming one another.

In most cases suffering degrades the soul rather than evolves it.
>>
>>37726479
That's up to you whether you would choose to believe in such a being, what I will say is that where religion blundered is in trying to define what do not know and arguing of the existence of God when what we should be asking is what is God? I think the reason we have not yet as a society been able to prove the existence of such a being is religion has limited our perception of what this being is and we have not found the exsitence of a being that conforms to this limited definition. If we are to find the existence of a supreme being then we must discard our preconcieved ideas and religious definitions be willing to look at the idea of a God from a broader perspective.

You are now aware of the Farm, what it is and what it does.

None of the other people's replies will make sense.

All will seem hollow, like nonsense.

Most will gaslight, or try to excuse suffering, because they have no idea what the depravity is or how deep it goes. They live a sheltered existence. If they spent even a day in that hell they wouldn't come back with the same, deluded, rosy-cheeked mindset.

The Farm is real.
It produces stress by causing suffering.
Religions are an attempt to stop you questioning this, but ask yourself this.

What moral entity would stop questioning the harmful nature of suffering?

>>37726942
kek i'm probably on the opposite side of Totalitarianism. Again you minsunderstand me. The main problem lies with this world, This world is made in such a way that conflict is inevitable, or at least was, even if all humans came together(massive cope for current society) animals/plants still suffer cause we have to eat. There is no free will in choosing to eat or not to eat, it's simply something necessary for survival. This is where all the "evil" comes from, a world where you need to kill to survive and limited resources. It's how people become "evil" , you don't really see kids who had attention from their parents, raised in a good environment become "evil". People who rape and do the worst kind of stuff are the people who got fucked by life, yes there are people who got fucked by life and don't do these things. But what's the point? Why would i want to suffer in this reality when i could just live in one where there's no conflict? If i am a soul that chose this then it makes no sense, if i'm not a soul that chose this then i have no free will and it's all random.
>Choosing to take form in a realm where there is suffering and sorrow and yet persevering and overcoming in spite of it? What do your words accomplish other than spread the suffering that you advocate against?
I guess my conclusion is to not go into the light when you die kek, in all my life i've never seen the point in meaningless suffering, i had a lot of empathy since i was a kid and this reality sucks, there's nothing noble about suffering for no reason, having autoimmune diseases, having chronic pain your whole life. I guess im a prisonplanet fag

Truth is as simple as that.

It makes you realize that monetary systems are corruptions since we primates have no inherent biological understanding of them. We can intuit and infer body language, morality, life cycles, evolution, etc. but our minds are required to step out of our natural inclinations in order to learn economics. We lose our peace of mind in the process. It has been observed over decades that brokie Amazon wanderers can't afford mansions but have peace of mind following their natural impulses. Go figure. Try assimilating one of them into Western cultures and they are repulsed.

FYI, God told me to be the Antichrist while I was having a psychotic episode, after running BLM and founding the alt-right. The real Divine revelatory vision was unlike anything drug or even meditation could have produced.

I think the reason free will still makes God responsible for evil is that God is supposed to be omniscient so he would know that giving people free will would result in evil

An analogy would be if you created a robot with free will and then that robot goes out in public and strangles someone to death then who is in the wrong there? The authorities are going to be sending you to jail no doubt, you can't just say you didn't know that would happen otherwise you'd still get in trouble under negligence

Put in a more distinct way our morality is based on our physical bodies and thus our motivations are limited to the aspirations of any animal. God doesn't have these limitations as it is said to be beyond physical conveyance.
What that means exactly is not known but suggests a scope of understanding outside of time and space
>>
>>37727909
It makes him responsible because he is not giving people true free will. The other anon at the first part of the thread was right, sadly he got swamped by retards. This is not a world of free will, and the God of the Bible does not value free will. If you had true free will you would have the ability to choose freely with full knowledge of what your choices mean.

>>37728019
At the end of the day, I feel if in your heart you wish to be loving despite everything then it is even more powerful as a renegade to all of the pain you've been forced to endure against your will. So the idea of free will is a flawed one, but it has a right to exist as a philosophical concept. The idea needs to be expanded upon because the church is lying. Peasants are not peasants because they are inefficient, they're poor because they live in a world full of corrupt monsters.
They just need someone to blame to excuse their corruption!

God blinded himself in order to become separate in All-that-is. Ignorance is just as much a function of consciousness as is Knowledge. The deterministic-science blind was bestowed by the Divine Wisdom, for good reason. Stop using the R-word. They're fundamentally equal to you and the Masters themselves, and all of your Gurus.

Am I getting anything through to you?

You have Free Will. Your power is bound for good reason. It's a learning experience.
>>
>>37728039
The fact that we don't have free will is why this suffering exists. If people could simply choose not to suffer or to go to a world without suffering, or change and choose their surroundings and material concerns. A peasant is a peasant because he can never be anything else, he cannot choose to not be a peasant, he can only choose to rebel or waste, both of which are failure states which will result in extreme loss and despair, or further suffering. The demon worshippers will then take the small infinitesimal chance that there may or may not be a chance for success anyway as justification for why this peasant had a choice when it was impossible for them to be anything other than a corpse or a suffering peasant by basically every metric except the miraculous ones.

For he says, we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. Now when he speaks of all things, he mentions even the things that seem painful. For should even tribulation, or poverty, or imprisonment, or famines, or deaths, or anything else whatsoever come upon us, God is able to change all these things into the opposite. For this is quite an instance of His unspeakable power, His making things seemingly painful to be lightsome to us, and turning them into that which is helpful to us. And so he does not say, that them that love God, no grievance approaches, but, that it works together for good, that is to say, that He uses the grievous things themselves to make the persons so plotted against approved. And this is a much greater thing than hindering the approach of such grievances, or stopping them when they have come. And this is what He did even with the furnace at Babylon. For He did not either prevent their falling into it, or extinguish the flame after those saints were cast into it, but let it burn on, and made them by this very flame greater objects of wonder, and with the Apostles too He wrought other like wonders continually.

For one needs only one thing, a genuine love of Him, and all things follow that.

the Divine Scripture and the doctrines of the truth know but One God, who rules all things by His power, but endures many things of His will.

For He rules even over the idolaters, but endures them of His forbearance: He rules also over the heretics who set Him at nought, but bears with them because of His long-suffering: He rules even over the devil, but bears with him of His long-suffering, not from want of power; as if defeated. For he is the beginning of the Lord's creation, made to be mocked , not by Himself, for that were unworthy of Him, but by the Angels whom He has made.

But He suffered him to live, for two purposes, that he might disgrace himself the more in his defeat, and that mankind might be crowned with victory.

O all wise providence of God! Which takes the wicked purpose for a groundwork of salvation for the faithful. For as He took the unbrotherly purpose of Joseph's brethren for a groundwork of His own dispensation, and, by permitting them to sell their brother from hatred, took occasion to make him king whom He would; so he permitted the devil to wrestle, that the victors might be crowned; and that when victory was gained, he might be the more disgraced as being conquered by the weaker, and men be greatly honoured as having conquered him who was once an Archangel.

I propose to you dear pilgrim, the following answer - seek and ask God for him to confirm it, with an unwaivering mind, and it will be given to you.

1. God's love, compassion and forbearance has been unchanged since the beginning of time, he created the universe in the full knowledge of all that would happen in it, and this is all calculated, in accordance with his will, to the greatest good, in which he may be most glorified by a display of his might and power, and also through his compassion, mercy and humility, as in Christ, he descended from heaven to share in our sufferings.

2. As we know the love of God, most greatly exemplified in Christ, we know that he truly loves us, as a heavenly father loves his children. We must trust him, his wisdom, and his complete sovereignty over creation.

3. We are limited in our comprehension of the universe, and the cause and effect of all things through time, we struggle greatly contemplating how God, makes all things (even suffering) work together for the good of those who love him.

4. Nonetheless, God's word never fails, and he takes great glory in achieving his great purposes and design, despite the endeavors of the devil and evil men, to accomplish good, love and glory through his creation.

5. We know God has infinite wisdom, intelligence, power and sovereignty, We know also that he loves those who love him, and makes all things, work together for his glory and the good of the faithful.

Amen

God made Satan bro, and that's in the best interpretation of events. You're worshipping the son of the creator of Hell who sacrificed him to an angry mob to forgive mankind for being the way he made them and having natural urges and invented all sin and crimes because some retard ate an apple after he put it in reach(despite said retard not knowing the difference between good and evil until after). I don't really know where you think you're going to find yourself after submitting to this creature and claiming it has compassion and love. You literally worship the God of "punishment for things he set up" and "punishment for choices one wasn't given the knowledge or power to avoid".

Now were you not aware that humankind must satisfy me; and in what aspect of my conduct have you noticed benevolence? Is it in sending you plagues, blights, civil wars, earthquakes, tempests? is it by brandishing above your heads all the serpents of discord that I persuade you that my essence is good? Fool! why did you not imitate my ways? Why did you resist those passions I put in you for no reason other than to prove to you how great is the necessity for evil? Their voice was to have been heard and obeyed; it was necessary to despoil pitilessly, as I do, the widow and the orphan, to pillage the poor, in one word, to make man comply with all your needs, bend before all your caprices—as I do. After having played the idiot and taken the contrary way, what have you come back here for?

Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.
Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
>>
>>37729681
Yes, so Christians worship the son of the God who sacrificed his son to himself for the ability to magically forgive mankind for the sins he created into the universe. What exactly did I say wrong? Anon is justifying this horrific act and creature by claiming free will is worth it, and that another man's choice has removed our ability to choose freely despite him never having the full understanding of what that choice was. If you're talking about the post before, what exactly am I wrong about? God made hell, it is a place that exists before Satan in the Bible, the sacrifices of blood in his name are the foundational basis for why Jesus' offering on the cross is what gets him to resolve mankind's guilt, and that guilt is Adams choice which precluded all of man from making the choice to not live in a world without suffering.

Like I said, no argument, just emotional outbursts.

The inspiration of God is found between the lines, not on them. The literal interpretations are for the simplest of our brothers and sisters. You take the traditions of men formed over thousands of years as doctrines of God. It is said in Deuteronomy that a father is not responsible for the sins of the son, nor the son for the sins of the father, negating the original sin doctrine. However, we all sin without being condemned at birth given time on earth because we are taught to do so by people and spirits. Jesus taught that if you love others that God will love you. If you judge others, God will judge you by the same measure. In contrast, if you forgive those who oppress you, God will forgive you for your sins. Realize that the scriptures serve a purpose that is not always direct or true. In 1 Kings 22 the scriptures even reveal this truth. Understand that the all the scriptures, prophets, Jesus and his apostles all existed for the singular aim of teaching you to be humble and lean on our heavenly Father's understanding and trust in His perfect love and virtue.
He doesnt care about going to church amd singing songs and empty praise. He wants us to offer mercy to each other and lift each other up.

This is called lying and dishonesty. No true God would fail to freely offer up the truth unless they were content to deceive millions and are hoping to do so. Whether or not the original sin doctrine is true, it cuts to the heart of the matter, which is that we sin because it's in our nature, that we are human beings who are powerless, and that we live in a murderous world of devouring and viciousness where the most violent and immoral wins as long as they're good at presenting themselves as moral.

We have no choice but to judge others or fall to malicious people, and God created the world and humans knowing this protective instinct would be warped to harm others and didn't create any safeguards to simply make that impossible. If God wanted us to offer mercy to each other and lift each other up people would feel perfect empathy for one another, he wouldn't have shattered human language making it impossible to understand each other perfectly across all cultural divides, and we wouldn't be capable of harming each other.

Instead raping a woman is possible, stabbing someone is possible, murdering children is possible, flaying babies is possible, torturing people is possible, stealing from those who have little is possible, and in certain scenarios, you can even find yourself rewarded for doing some of these things instead of never prospering even slightly from engaging in them. Some of the most famous men in history have committed or caused all of these crimes to exist and they were rewarded with their offspring reigning supreme, and becoming endemic in the human collective genome. Everything you claim God wants is not what the God of the Bible wants, and it is demonstrated by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish teachings about this thing.
>>
>>37730473
It's almost as if people don't get rewarded for being good but by what produces the most loosh. The jobs that pay the best produce most loosh: Smart scammers are earning millions and enjoying live like people woudn't believe. Onlyfans content creators (the men who are behind the women) are making a lot because it baits people into using their life force. Selling drugs which ruin lives and creates a lot of loosh, very profitable. Even the best paying jobs don't compare to that stuff and how much money people make and get rewarded for it.
>>
>>37730500
Exactly. I've never seen being a good humble person rewarded, the phrase "no good deed goes unpunished" exists because in this world if you're dumb enough to act for the good of others or act like a good human being you would kill yourself immediately to stop participating in constant death and decay while funding dickheads.
>>
>>37730500
It's also why religions are pushed so hard and at the center of everything. It creates conflict between different beliefs, it makes you hold your lifeforce for "god", the things you do, you don't do for yourself but for "god".
Just think about it, why is prayer so common in most religions and not meditation? When people pray they literally sit in the most submissive position and give their loosh away thinking of "god". There's also a lot of emotions in prayers, begging to be healthy, peace, basically the things that people care about the most. Everything in this world makes sense if you look at it from a loosh perspective instead of le good and bad moralistic view. Why is it created so we need to eat each other to survive? Simple, more conflict to create loosh. Why are there so many different races? Simple more conflict to create loosh. Why split genders and create loneliness, simple more loosh. Why is the world moving in a direction where everyone is isolated when everyone actually wants to interact more? Simple more loosh. Why are the people who increase the loosh production in charge of the world even tho they are evil? Why would the people who keep starting wars,promote degeneracy,traffic humans in any good reality? It's simple they are just there to create loosh so they are rewarded. When you see reality how it is you can finally see it all makes sense.

Same anon, It's true that good deeds don't randomly get rewarded, but it depends on who you interact with, a lot of the good things i have in life is cause i interacted genuinely and with good intentions with some people. If you meet genuine people you can help each other a lot, i still believe cooperation would be the fastest way to advance, however this reality is unfortunately trying to keep us away from it.
It's like in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mScpHTIi-kM
Cooperation would work if there would be an immediate punishment when you are a piece of shit, for example you scam someone for $100 and next day he ends up and ur door and beats the shit out of you, if everyone did that he'd simply stop. But because we have only few interactions with most people, they can get away with being a piece of shit all the time.

>No true God would fail to freely offer up the truth unless they were content to deceive millions and are hoping to do so.

If you read the gospel with a humble heart the truth is revealed which is God's love for all of us.

>which is that we sin because it's in our nature

And we are capable of forgiveness and forgiven for that same reason

>that we live in a murderous world of devouring and viciousness where the most violent and immoral wins as long as they're good at presenting themselves as moral.

This is a half truth. What of a sunrise? A cool breeze on a hot day? The warmth of the sun on a cold one? What about those who strive to feed the hungry, guide the lost, and heal the sick? Is the battle over? Has the enemy enthroned himself at the top of the world or is that only your perception? Would you have humanity as the trees? Should we sway in the breeze and have no cares or troubles nor story or glory?

>We have no choice but to judge others or fall to malicious people,

Death is just a door and time a window. God has power over death, over sin, over pain. To die is to gain the kingdom of Heaven and be free of this world that troubles you so much, so why do you argue with death?

>If God wanted us to offer mercy to each other and lift each other up people would feel perfect empathy for one another, he wouldn't have shattered human language making it impossible to understand each other perfectly across all cultural divides...

God gave us translators of language and of spirit. What you describe is Heaven, brother. A place you can attain if you would set aside your pride and do what your Father has asked which is to have faith and love. God has given us a story fated in His eyes yet also uncertain in ours which allows us to choose the role we play so long as we are willing to take the time to learn the correct lines.

What does it profit men to gain the whole world for such a short time yet lose everything in their spirit that matters most?
>>
>>37730550
>Cooperation would work if there would be an immediate punishment when you are a piece of shit
That's pretty much why I don't believe in a loving God or an existing one. If God wanted to help, if he wanted humans to use this life to learn, that scammer would instantly lose the $100, it would go back to the guy he scammed, and then he'd lose a $100 dollars of his own to that same victim while some floating words tell him that he's a dick for having been a scamming thief.

Instead Indians will scam some old lady out of the money required for her to live comfortably in her old age, and instead of any immediate consequences, or proper retribution for her, maybe they'll face consequences based on their lives already being bad enough to drive them to scamming, maybe they won't, but that old lady will forever lose that money, and the scammers' boss will never see any retribution.

>If you read the gospel with a humble heart
Truth doesn't need to be read in a special manner. You don't need to read "the sky is blue during the day if there are no special things happening" with a humble heart to never be misled nor will you be dishonest for saying that and hiding between the lines.
>And we are capable of forgiveness
Irrelevant, God's forgiveness is what matters, and he created an infinite hell with no mercy, recompense, or salvation after final death according to Christians. There is no forgiveness with a God whose only moral commandment is submission to him and nothing else.
>This is a half truth
It isn't. A sunrise is beautiful to you because your monkey brain recognizes it as the time to go murder something to live longer, and that the fear of having died in the night didn't come to pass. The light represents a banishing of danger because there are predators in the dark you fear. The warmth of the sun is irrelevant when you know what it feels like to be under it for hours on the very hottest days without protection, while your feet burn when they touch the ground. The people who arrive to feed the hungry and guide the lost get stolen from by giant companies who dig those people deeper into poverty to profit off them, and who work with the governments and organizations that bankrupted them and exploited their labor while failing to help their endeavors at succeeding financially.

The enemy is the world itself, I'd rather humanity never suffer. A sunset will never make up for the concept of rape or the death of children.
>Death is just a door
Then walk through it and walk back. It's not a door, it's the gate to the slaughterhouse next to the farm.
>God gave us translators
Which are imperfect, lead to further conflict, and still mean we can never fully understand each other. If the place I can attain to be is so great he should let me be there from birth. If pride is so bad God should abandon his and not brag about it in the Bible.
>>
>>37730595
Also God didn't give us translators, human need for connection despite our differences did. According to Christians, you will go to hell if you use a translator because this is God's thoughts on the matter:
>But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.
If you use a translator you are shirking God's will.

>Truth doesn't need to be read in a special manner.

What is confirmation bias? Think of how often people jump to assume a correleation is a causation. Even in reason and science, pride is like a great wall which keeps you from the truth. You cannot trust men's hearts. God has never said a word, only inspired men to speak and act with his Spirit. That doesn't mean they were perfect, that their words werent twisted, ignored, or burned. The scriptures are filled with the men of God being persecuted for speaking out against the same things you do here.

>infinite hell with no mercy, recompense, or salvation after final death according to Christians.

Only God is infinite, not Hell. God is perfectly loving. Every punishment serves as a lesson for the spirit. If your Father tells you to keep your hand out a fire and you keep putting your hand in it, will you blame him for starting the fire? No, the fire serves a purpose you may not understand as a mere child.

>God whose only moral commandment is submission to him and nothing else

God wants our love, not to dominate us. If God wanted your submission, you would be like a rock in the air, no choice but to obey gravity. It is the enemy who wants your submission and who has confounded your heart and mind and the world.

The story of the Tower is a syncretic pagan relic from a common thought in the ancient world that the Gods were afraid of humanity's potential to usurp them. Reread what I said before about the nature of scripture. It serves as a polemic against pride and also as an answer for the simple folk as to why there are so maby languages. It is not the Truth. The scriptures are not God. Jesus's teaching will bring you to the Way as a fulfillment of God's relationship with the Israelites. A revealing of the veil of Moses, revelation of the truth against their traditions and superstitions.

Confirmation bias doesn't mean textbooks suddenly start speaking in riddles and require you to figure out whats a list and what isnt.
>Only God is infinite
The Bible disagrees.
>And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
>They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

>God wants our love
Then could you go to heaven without submitting to him? The answer is no before you start lying again:
>Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord
>Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

>Just earlier talking about how God doesn't wish to dominate
You're just joking at this point. Also here's the actual quote:
> You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

>The story of the tower is *insert cope*
Then God is putting lies(it isn't true, it never happened, it's a lie) in his book to mislead people. You must be a Satanist or something because this is just strange behavior.

The wise move is to act on good thoughts and not let bad thoughts control us. Serving the self/ego is the basement of our consciousness and is where the vast majority of our species resides. The goal is to elevate the collective consciousness through love, empathy, forgiveness, and all that good stuff.

To desire anything beyond food and shelter is to feel irrationally lacking in some regard, otherwise you wouldn't feel a need to fill that hole (possible double meaning here). If you want to climb an illusory hierarchy to be able to buy a newer, shinier car, a new house, a new vacation, a new girlfriend, etc. you are fundamentally insecure. Furthermore, most jobs which allow us to move up the hierarchy require fucking people over. Can't we realize that we're already perfect? Enjoy the present moment, it's all you have! Chasing dangling carrots on sticks never brings peace of mind because you're always chasing. Peace of mind is only achieved through finding peace in humility. That's when "forbidden" knowledge enters your life.

>God isn't responsible for the existence of rape because people have free will
God invented ducks and sharks which reproduce by rape.
>>
>>37726547
It's quite a bit deeper than that. Free will is important for a creation because it gives meaning to it in the first place. With SI at the level it is, you can experience a microscopic version of this on a story generator like AI Dungeon or similar, and assume the role of God. You put in your prompt and let it rip, maybe tweak some things here or there, but by allowing the characters "free will" it gives it a sense of meaning that justifies using the AI gen in the first place. If you control every word of it, you are simply authoring it yourself and there's no reason to use the AI gen. The difference is parallel to a God creating as opposed to simply thinking to himself, or putting on a puppet show.
You can also imagine it with money. If you had unlimited money (a kind of pseudo-omnipitence, as close as we could realistically get at least) you could do whatever you want and make a lot of people do whatever you want. Yet, you feel alone surrounded by people, like many do, because they just want the money. Nothing they are doing to get it matters much anymore. Many rich people experience this and feel they have to go out of their way to find people that "like them for them". You do things you enjoy until they become boring, your standards forever climb and things lose the luster they had when they were rare or unattainable.
Free will does not mean omnipotence either. There is value in limitation. Suffering gives value to bliss. This balancing act is true for everything. Consciousness cannot be content in a single state, trust me. In fact, that may very well be the reason God creates in the first place: discontent. Just a theory, but a good one as to the why I think. A feeling of isolation, a desire for experiencing something with some meaning, so he creates that which he lacks.
I am very agnostic and don't really care to argue extensively in favor of God, just take this however you will. Opinion of the devil's advocate.
>>
>>37733765
All I know is free will is bullshit and the minute I get a little bit of power I'm dumping ass all over this world.
>>
>>37733771
I assume that means causing suffering to others?
I understand you may think you are just in lashing out at the world in retaliation, but have you ever considered that your perspective may be a self-fulfilling prophecy of misery? People tend to reap what they sow, internally. Perhaps by searching with the intention to find reason in not inflicting suffering on others, the shift in perspective you gain will be that which ceases your own suffering as well. It does tebd to go hand-in-hand, perspective is incredibly powerful pyschologically.
You claim injustice while intending to do the same. To the world, no less, in the same breath as saying the torture and rape and disease upon which is already too much as it is.
You have probably been through some difficulties lately, and have seen evil. When you see evil, you think evil. When you think evil, you become it. The real thing holding the world from being a better place? Because everyone is simply passing the buck in that exact manner. If you are not willing to let the evil die within you, and put positivity out into the world in its place, then you frankly have nothing to complain about. You are what you despise. Transmute that shit son, fight the current and help the good guys. Don't fall prey to weak evilfags.
