Here is something for you to think about.?

Question

Okay, God is whats all right, true and loving. He is static (never changes, he is god, one man.) Then how come what is right and what is wrong changes through out time and through out cultures?

1) Incest between adam and eves children. Its okay for them? Now it isnt okay. So right and wrong changes? Right and wrong can be circumstantail?

2) Holy murders. It was okay to kill in the name of god pre common era but not any more?

3) Limbo/purgatory: Kids and people w/o a chance to find god were sent to limbo. between heaven and hail. They then could gain access to heaven or remain in limbo forever. The catholic church made this idea up. How can they just invent something godly. Then just 3 years ago remove it.

Kids with inhabllity to get divine. What about retarted kids or amazonions? They have far less opurtunitys then westerners. Thats unfair! SO we are more likely to go to heaven then them statistically. 20% is christain, the rest are hell bound? unfair!

yes but he represents what is right. So we are supposed to follow his way. He cant just change what is right and wrong. Cuz one moment right can be wrong. visa versa...

so Then he is changing what is right and what is wrong.

Answer 1

Okay, God is whats all right, true and loving.
He is static (never changes, he is god, one man.)

I dont believe God is suppose to be (man) they use the word "man" in alot of words to express the word, human..
I personally dont believe God has a sex.
The deity has both female and male attributes much like ourselves.
(guess that’s just some peoples outlook on things).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then how come what is right and what is wrong changes through out time and through out cultures?

Because different cultures change the way they work out the meaning of the teachings I guess.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Incest between adam and eves children. Its okay for them? Now it isnt okay. So right and wrong changes? Right and wrong can be circumstantail?

I personally have always looked at Adam and Eve as a symbolic rather than two people… I think that’s were most people go wrong with the teachings. they take symbolic writings and give an human touch to it.. instead of a broad minded outlook.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Holy murders. It was okay to kill in the name of god pre common era but not any more?

I personally didn’t think it was right to kill in the name of any deity.. Sure killing for food,, But we dont eat humans, so i guess they cant use that one.
contradiction, HOly and War.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Limbo/purgatory: Kids and people w/o a chance to find god were sent to limbo. between heaven and hail. They then could gain access to heaven or remain in limbo forever. The catholic church made this idea up. How can they just invent something godly. Then just 3 years ago remove it.

Wow! I didn’t know they changed Purgatory..
mind you I gave up my Catholic faith some 20 something years ago.. when I realized my true connection.

Personally I don’t believe in purgatory.. the waiting room for judgment. I personally feel we are given the opportunity to judge ourselves when the time comes..
as we know in ourselves if we mean it or not.

I dont believe in being cast as sinners even before we get a chance to think, breath, or walk.
Its wrong, plain and simple. Manipulation and Threats..

Answer 2

We can never really know or understand the mind of God. But here are my thoughts...

1) The children of Adam and Eve, if there wasn't anyone else had to have married each other. Otherwise you and I wouldn't be here. Incest isn't allowed now because now we have 2 billion other choices. We are still, however remote, distant cousins.

2) The Old Testament is full of bloody history, some battles have the mark of God on them. I'd be careful about trying to figure out the why's and wherefore's about this whole issue. Keep in mind that some view WWI and WWII as necessary wars to fight tyranny and 'evil'. A few of the ancient wars in the Old Testament, especially during the time of Moses/Joshua leading the Israelites out of Egypt and into the promise land, dealt with killing those already there. Some were worshippers of Moloch, who 4 centuries earlier had Abraham live with them. They knew God at one time but later turned to Moloch, who was offered live babies in his burning fire rituals.

God has a habit of removing those that used to know better and then had rejected him.

Think Noah and his Flood.

3) This is not based on the Bible and is therefore an idea of man and has an inherent fallacy.

4) Yes, I agree that it is very unfair that mainstream Christians believe that only those in this Life who have heard of the gospel or even of the name of Christ will be saved and everyone else is doomed.

This, too, is not based on the Bible and is therefore an idea of man and has an inherent fallacy.

It is written that God is not respector of persons. But some churches believe otherwise. Where does that place them with respect to the word of God?

Answer 3

I don't believe any of that crap. The difference is people's INTENTIONS. Adam and Eve's children had to procreate for the continuance of the species(if they ever existed). People/society will always make mistakes. What is important is that we learn from them. If God was just going to send all sorts of people to limbo and purgatory as you call it, why would he bother allowing them life at all? To make examples of them??? I think not. God is supposed to be a higher power, all knowing and loving. Why would he discard of someone for not knowing any better??? I think it's time you look into a new way of perceiving religion. A new way of following your path. If you're having these thoughts it's because something doesn't make sense. Something that a lot of us are seeing nowadays. You should check out this website : www.sylvia.org. It's a new and interesting way of perceiving religion. I found it to ring true the moment I read it. It was very liberating. Good luck finding the answers you seek, my friend.

Answer 4

1. Gods standard have not changed. Adam and Eves children, were actually closer to being perfect. Hince two observations, one is that persons lives hundreds of years, and also because they were so called more perfect, by interbreeding at that time was acceptable because the human race was beginning. Each generation became less perfect and prone to more diseases and other things.

2. The way the nation of Israel carried out thier conquet was quite severe in at times they killed men, women and children.
anws is that one, those other nations had warings and they had knowledge of God and his requirements. They chose to ignore God. Their Judgement was there-fore justified by God to wipe away the customs of those nations. If you look at what they did, the worshiped Baal, that religion would burn live children and infants into the idol. for instance.

In our day, we are under the kingship of Jesus, His commands are to love our neighbor. It is also explained that it is Gods fight not ours. There are several bible examples where Gods servents had to only take a stand. God did the fighting. That is a Christians role in our day. Those that mix in wars are actually siding with Satan because it is Satan that has/been given authority of the nations.

3. Because of Jesus example, those children that die will/may have an opportunity to be resurrected into a perfect mind and health. Which is why in general, the concept of a person that dies and goes to hell, where a person suffers is wrong. The bible again states that when a person dies, their thought perish. It is that simple. Which is why Mary told Jesus she expected to see Lazarus at the resurrection, a foretold event.

So the last part of your question is simply that if you read the bible, it mentions righteous and un-righteous person, will have an opportunity to live forever. The righteious are believers of Jesus and are person in Gods favor. Un-righteous are persons that may not have had the opportunity to understand Gods regulations, and the purpose of Jesus sacerfice. Persons that have made an intellegent decison to be wicked, and would infect, harm others are the ones that God will choose to destroy. They will not suffer either but be destroyed, ---not exist at all--.

So actually God is very merciful even to the wicked persons. God will correct all things. But by allowing the suffering we are experieceing he is proving that he has the right to rule over us.
That issue will be resolved once and for all time. cool huh.

Answer 5

It is not in discussion if god is male or female its god the wisest of the wise. As society changes so does our morals and ethics. At the heart of it all is, what we truly feel inside that we know what is the right thing do, excluding all of the external factors. What we decide is right and wrong is a subjective belief will it cause adverse efects on ourselves or others physically or mentally. If it will then dont do it, the greatest gift anyone can give another is self-sacrifice their life for another. in making all similar decsions think accordingly.

Answer 6

everything your speaking of was action and reaction of mans behavior and culture. This set the pace for much of what you speak. God did not ordain nor create this. God's plan was perfect and man with his sin changed the plan ordained from God. Now God has repaired the wrong man brought upon the world and himself through
another Adam
Yes God set the pattern for right but man in his freewill moved away from the example and pattern God laid out for him. God does not change man does with time.

Answer 7

To kill in the name of God was only stated by man itself!!!

Answer 8

God hasn't changed His mind.
It's been even from before that murduring is worng.......
I think that's waht i understood from ur question
God is fair! becoz ur the one who chooses between right and wrong. God says that 20% of people r going to heaven and the rest to hell becoz they don't wanna obey His word

Answer 9

~God is not a man.~
