Christians, what do you think of....?

Question

www.godisimaginary.com

It has alot of good proof, i'm curious as to your response. Look at proof #5.

"Whoever strikes a person mortally shall be put to death. If it was not premeditated, but came about by an act of God, then I will appoint for you a place to which the killer may flee. But if someone wilfully attacks and kills another by treachery, you shall take the killer from my altar for execution. "

This says killer's go free? thats odd......

and he killed millions & billions of animals when he flooded the earth.. and you look up to this figment why?

Ronald. If i want to read fiction, I will go buy a harry potter book but thanks for the offer

Answer 1

Because they find a way to hypocritically justify everything to their benefit, even going so far as to change the very wording of their book.

Peace.

Thanks for the link.

Answer 2

The problem that you are having is that you are reading into the Law of Moses. You don't seem to understand the relationship of the Law and Jesus Christ.

What a lot of the Law was doing was illustrating what Jesus would bring as the Christ. Bear with me because this is kinda complex to understand. Just try to follow this:

What was being brought up was the application of the Cities of Refuge. Where a murderer could go and live, and as long as he stays there he cannot be put to death. If he stays there and the High Priest dies, he is forgiven and may leave the city as any innocent man-- he is declared innocent.

Now we have to understand these as symbols of something.
The High Priest = Our High Priest Jesus ( Hebrews 4&5).
The Murderer= guilty sinning mankind all of us.
Seeking refuge= the Lord is our Refuge- it's one of the nature's of God revealed.
The High priest dying= the atonement for sins, the 'type' of Christ being the High Priest. Those who trusted God ( in this case, once the High Priest dies you are no longer guilty- which is God's promise)

So the important thing to God wasn't that there was a murderer on the loose, but the story he tells in the Old Testament to tell about the things that jesus would accomplish. Those things aren't well known, this is the first time I have tried to explain it to someone, so how'd I do?

Answer 3

You cannot fight this, because atheists only believe in relative morality it is impossible to speak against another concept of morality from the atheists point of view.

However, this does not sound very irrational to me. It states that though there is a difference between premeditated and accidental murder. It also recognizes that both are wrong. The killer does not go free because he must reside in the appointed place as a his punishment.

edit-
My point is that your argument is that there must not be a G-d because you find something in the Bible to be morally reprehensible. Yet atheists believe that morality is an agreed upon standard by society. If this is true, than you are not, and can never, be in a position to judge the standards and laws set forth by the Bible. you can only say that your personal sense of morality is just as valid.

Answer 4

Actually it refers to manslaughter.

However you should note that the reason for this place of refuge was to get away from the relatives of the accident victim who were honour bound to kill the survivor of the accident.
This is one of those things the bible believers want to reinstall in our society. The Idea is that if you kill my cousin in a traffic accident it is my duty to hunt you down and kill you too, no courts needed.

Answer 5

Don't listen to that site, heres what you need to know:

◘and he didnt kill millions and billions of animals when he flooded the earth, they died, and everything dies, He wasnt doing it to be mean or wrong, it happens ok, you really need to read the bible to understand!

◘Killing is wrong!

◘Killing is a mortal sin and if you die with a mortal sin on your soul, you go to hell

◘God is alwayz right and He said killing is wrong

◘READ THE CATHOLIC BIBLE, it is the word of God and tells nothing but the truth!

Answer 6

If God is a figment of your imagination, why ask someone else about Him?

God is a God of Love and Mercy, He Love's everyone, even you.

Answer 7

You really need to read these things in context. I would challenge you to invest agate these claims you are making and fully read the text with respect to the context it is written. Find out the bibles teachings on these subjects instead of jumping on the band wagon of one mans spurious claims. Please finish middle school and read the text.

Answer 8

another biased website. nothing knew. and killing doesn't make someone imaginary. by "appointed by God" it means like an Israelite like Saul who was allowed to be demon possessed because of his distance from God.

geez, that isn't proof. a child could make sense of it if they tried...

Answer 9

That is the most ridiculous website I've ever seen. I feel bad for those of you who will most likely spend eternity in hell.

Answer 10
