Only lap dogs obey unquestioningly, but you bring up a valid point, how come Dad won't talk to us anymore.

A belief that we have to obey unquestioningly contradicts the first commandment --no one is to come between you and your God--(if God does not object who has a right to tell you how to communicate with your God) and free will, (if we cannot object to a rule or a law we do not have a free will). So the valid question is who made up the rule that we have to obey--God or a man? I hope it helps.

Because Lot, Moses and Abraham understood what it was like to love God the way He wants to be Loved, why else would He use them as examples? They are in PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS with Him. Have you ever argued with someone you Loved? Someone you were in a personal relationship with? It's the same thing, God was their best friend, their forever companion, and sometimes, companions fight, don't understand one another, and get frustrated. Voicing that is a part of a relationship. Makes sense, right?

If they can argue with God, then you can too. They were no more special than anyone else and nobody has to obey any god - that is just a religious perspective you are not required to agree with.

Religion is on the decline just keep arguing. Respect is not good for religion or religious people they need a thrashing once in a while, they enjoy some persecution... Besides we've had enough brainwashing no need for any more.

i'm no longer non secular, yet I do have heavy sociological / anthropological history. in case you experience the might desire to "worry" your God, then that is by using fact which you experience to blame for something, or you go with for to experience victimized. maximum persons do no longer worry their God. They love their God. God is somewhat like the bright chief. As Machiavelli pronounced, a stable chief might desire to be the two enjoyed and feared. If he's purely enjoyed, then people will nevertheless do what they choose for against his needs at cases. If he's purely feared, then they gained't love their own lives, in basic terms doing what he needs out of worry of ramifications. in the event that they love and worry him, then they are going to do what he needs out of affection and understand first, and out of worry 2d. enable me attempt to apply a various analogy for God... God, in maximum peoples' eyes, is almost a stable discern. a stable discern makes use of two aspects love and a million section self-discipline to confirm people lead a stable existence. a million section love is unconditional. God loves you unconditionally, by using fact which you're his advent. (purely as a discern loves their newborn unconditionally). a million section love is for useful reinforcement. God shows you adore to reward your stable habit. it is what maximum persons call "reward", "miracles", etc. father and mom do the comparable with them babies; provide them hugs whilst they prevail. a million section self-discipline is used for unfavorable reinforcement. God punishes people whilst they have been undesirable. father and mom do the such as babies. Now, maximum persons will shop on with a Godly existence by using fact they understand and love God by using a million section unconditional love, and a million section useful reinforcement. If that doesn't artwork then they worry the a million section self-discipline. besides the undeniable fact that, what's "blessing" and "punishment" from God is subjective. diverse religions, or perhaps persons, might even see something as a blessing together as others see it as a curse. everybody can see regardless of they choose for into something. whilst a mom hugs a newborn, that is noticeably tangible that this is a hug. yet, whilst a individual unearths $5 on the line is that a blessing? What if it purely facilitates them to do something undesirable? i think of the extra advantageous thank you to look at God is that he supplies people opportunities. The $5 is an risk. How the guy chooses to apply that risk dictates regardless of if this is a "blessing" or "curse".

Those stories and examples prove to us that we shouldnt. That even though those men did great things, at times they lacked faith in God.
