Or….. are we all aspects of God? So if we hate God, we actually hate ourselves…”I am of you and in you”

[@horustrismegistus1017]

There's a lot of bs here. Sure hope yall don't dodge valid points like commies do. 1.) I personally hate your god for MAAAAAANY reasons. 2.) Premise usually being his own words and actions, specifically when in contrast with one another. (No, I didn't read anything out of context, and.. I am a Linguist. I misinterpret nothing.) 3.) This god is evil because of the willfully awful nature of his design. Whether he's an alien who built a terrarium and lied to us, to agrandize his majesty, or whether we live in a completely geocentric universe, where physics are a byproduct of his presence, is irrelevant. No matter his scope of greatness or power, his design is evil. 4.) Furthermore, HE is evil. 5.) Anything LIKE him, in its nature, is itself, evil, and in the same ways, unironically. 6.) The preach said something extremely assuming of something else that was already unverified. He said the person is mad at god because they didnt get what they want, and "should you always get what you want?" It is not "reasoning" to GO TO EXTREMES as a comparison. He went from something specific to something all inclusive. That's how communists debate. 7.) And no.. his "pets"? I believe he said that we are his SLAVES and that if we are not HIS slaves, then we are supposedly slaves to his enemy. So.. he's an extremist, and only deals in absolutes.. which is why people like this preacher argue in the same format.. with extreme responses. Responses intended to make the other "thinker" feel and seem ridiculous.. when you compare an extreme to a non extreme, you're making a False Parallel, and that kid didn't know it, and this vid cut that short anyway

[@horustrismegistus1017]

@@Journal2Awakening In a way, yes. In fact, if any of you read the thing you believe in, you wouldn't support it. I know. I know.. You've "read the whole Bible multiple times" 🙄 everyone says that. In Hebrew, it does not say he created anything except for the Heavens (3) and Earth (2). He then says he BECAME everything else, OR, used something already made, to make more, like Adam from soil and Eve from Adam. So yes, you are fundamentally comprised of this being, if he is not a liar. I am of the impression that he is the ultimate liar.

[@atheistskeptic8748]

It's funny because I was a Christian for many many years. As a Christian I went through tough times and turned to god, would pray with my pastor and the church and sometimes things worked out really good, sometimes they just barely worked out and sometimes they didn't work at all. When I became an Atheist I still go through hard times, I never turn to god anymore never pray, spend a lot of my time now arguing god doesn't exist and when I go through tough times now, guess what happens? Sometimes they work out really well, sometimes just barely and sometimes not at all. There are times as an Atheist when I face very similar situations that when I prayed and turned to god they didn't work at all and as an Atheist they have worked extremely well. That seems to be just how life is whether you turn to god or not. So isn't really a waste of time turning to a god when the situation will work out exactly how it's going to God or not?

[@atheistskeptic8748]

@@AleksAvramJeff I don't pray to God at all. I in fact believe god doesn't exist. I didn't say I continue to pray that would be dumb. What i said was things happened when I was a Christian and I would pray to God and they would either work out really well, work out but not so great just a well that's ok but could have been better or they don't work out at all and are terrible. In every single situation I faced as a Christian and I would pray to God, pray with my church, pray with my pastor one of those outcomes would happen. Now fast forward to me being an Atheist, I still have issues that arise however I don't pray to a god, and guess what happens as an Atheist, I still get those 3 same exact outcomes. Every single outcome as an Atheist we're exactly the same outcomes as a Christian. In some cases as an Atheist I laugh because I will find myself in a similar situation as when I was a Christian and would pray to God and it went horribly horribly wrong it didnt work out at all praying but as an Atheist that very similar situation would work better then I could have hoped for. So at least with me it shows praying and not praying and out right saying god doesn't exist makes absolutely no difference on the outcomes of situations. So praying seems to be pretty useless.

[@AleksAvramJeff]

@@atheistskeptic8748 I became a Christian after I went to a church where I was observing what the church does with all its affiliated organisations and one time there was a night open seminary where the theme was what does God mean to you and I attended due to my writing work that I was supposed to write about but when the priest asked me that question I didn't really know what to say so I just honestly said God must mean love. That same night I came back home tired and I was watching some sports stream where there was a chat on the side and I was talking to some people about betting and there is where I met my wife. That was over 10 years ago and since then I became a true believer. Did God answered all of my prayers? No, but did God show me love and did God take care of me and gave me what I needed despite my own clumsiness in life? Yes He did. God has a plan for everyone, I did get the best possible grade in that psychology class that I was taking but I got something that no school nor money can buy and for that I belong to Jesus Christ. Open your heart to God and He will enter in your life.

Praying for you @Kelly Hill However, you need to put in the required effort as the Bible says "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" Never give up on God, cus He has a PLAN for you, even though the devil tried to sow seeds into your past. Talk to Jesus constantly and He will eventually take over and give you the guidance and strength to make it.

[@Jeff_the_ApocalypticGameCat]

@Kelly Hill The best thing you can do is find a good church, if ya don’t have one. They’re sometimes hard to find, though. You have to learn how to discern the good preaching from the lies, so read your bible every day and study. Keep it in your heart, pray often, and repent when you fail. That’s all we can do. I haven’t had a church in years, and I’m moving across the country to fix that soon, but what has helped me in the last couple months was reading my bible, and keeping my mind on God as much as I can will myself to. I talk about Him daily with just about everyone I know, whenever I get a natural opportunity. It’s helping me tremendously. And some of them! That’s why I’ve decided to go back home and be a real part of the one good church I’ve known.

[@mrs.ana93]

Forgiveness is one of the things we are called to do as Christians. Forgive others because God forgives us. You don’t have to do this publicly or face to face. In my heart I have forgiven all of the people who molested me over my lifetime. It’s not easy, but it will bring you peace. God is not the ruler of this world, Satan is. The Bible says that. God wants us to come home to Heaven and be with him. A lot of times when we “hate God” we really should be hating Satan. Because all the evil in the world comes from Satan, NOT God.

It never seizes to amaze me that someone wants to argue about God existing, but most of them are very knowledgeable about Him, & have gone through something (unfortunately) where they had a bad experience in life, & therefore He can’t exist. Most even had a very bad teacher at some point, & convinced that’s the way it is for all, & everywhere. And yes, a bad egg somewhere prob ruined it for them, but God just wants you to talk to Him, personally. If you CHOOSE to do what & how you want, then you can’t expect to see a miracle if you don’t initiate things. Well… I was there for a very long time. Had a lot of money, but was never happy.

Tens of thousands of ex-Christians gave their lives to god, lived their lives with the belief they had a personal relationship and came from every denomination and tradition.

I am like you. I have suffered a great loss of money that, in retrospect, was caused by ego ( I’m good at this!) and greed ( wow! Look how much I have grown my money!) that seems to have been a scam. Even though I had planned to donate a great portion ( I had determined to buy two barn fulls of animals -one of each in a barn, so with two they could multiply) through a program that 85% of the money got to where it is supposed to. I was also going to have a well dug, for clean safe water for the humans and animals. But pride also rolled in, I began to think maybe they would name the barn after me-and then it all fell apart and I lost a great deal of money. I am handicapped and unable to recoup at this late date….and now I am having a hard time being charitable at all because I am feeling the lack…so Satan is still trying to get in. But I realize that God has humbled me, and I will have to give up all the luxuries for at least 7 years…however, I wonder if we will even be here anymore by then. God bless you, and be with you.

I don't even know how you could begin to prove that is a god and not something mental where the thoughts or belief in a god made you feel like that where god is simply a placebo. It's like when you are in a very traumatic situation prayer actually helps you and is extremely beneficial because it slows your heart rate it can calm your nerves and make you feel hopeful but there is no evidence that you are actually praying to a god. Studied done on prayer show it works at the rate of chance. Something that makes one feel a certain way doesn't lend any crediance to it being true just the effects it can have mentally on you.

But in the end the proof is in the pudding. But the challenge is the true pudding is intentionally obscured to look lumpy and unappetizing. Why? Because the human heart is prideful and sinister in its intent. Unless were able to set our humanity aside long enough to come to Him, the results are going to appalling, as history reveals.

Perhaps another way to explain it is because they see God as a conscientious being instead of a spiritual system.

_"Are we supposed to be God's pets by having a perfect life? No, we must suffer while we're obligated to accept him else we'll be eternally punished!"_ 😵‍💫

[@xxhierophantxx]

I was a little disappointed at first, but throwing that allegory in there at the end- Magnificent! We're NOT pets to God. We're children. As a father of 6 I can say that I've made and will continue to make decisions that my children will not always like. To say that I hate my children because the road is bumpy and tough decisions must be made shouldn't cause hate, though it may, most often as adults we see those tough choices our parents made, understand them, and then respect them.. At the end of the day, they can't blame ME for the bumps in the road I had to navigate us through. In the same vein, God is not responsible for the choices we make to end us up on that pot-holed road. If God wanted pets that simply obeyed him without free choice He would've skipped humans and went right to the rest of the animal kingdom. As for the bumps in the road, you gotta look to the ones maintaining the road- in this case, the entity that has dominion over the earth is wickedness incarnate. I have this saying for bad times and I stole it from a long line of military servicemen- "When you're taking Flak, you're over the target." If you're constantly under Assault and it seems like the road is never smoothing out, all you gotta do is goto God. He can't wave a magic wand to stop the rebellion, as much as He could, how many God souls would be done for because He didn't do it the way it was supposed to be? "If even ONE righteous soul was left in the city, He would hold back intervention.." Having a battle about your faith is where we all are and our adversary doesn't make it easy for us unless he's already won. It's sad to see people face hard times and blame God... too blind to recognize military tactics from the enemy. Also sad is a majority of "Christians" that don't acknowledge the physical reality of an ephemeral enemy. God gave this to us and we gave it to Satan, thankfully for us God believes in redemption and not eminent domain.

[@Wertbag99]

"In the same vein, God is not responsible for the choices we make to end us up on that pot-holed road." - Its not always choices that lead to hard times. There is a lot of life that is outside of our control, from health, wealth, crime and accidents. The problem is not just that god made decisions that we don't like, but that He has the power to do so much more. This is the problem of evil/suffering. For us there are pot holes in the road, for god nothing would be a problem to overcome. This leaves some people hating god because they see how much He could do and choses not to.

[@deshyvin]

@@Wertbag99 that's where you come in . Make life better for those that need help. In doing so you show others that life isn't always a pothole. And by proclaiming God for the things that are good, and for that which you do that is good, helps to show others that His power is active. Don't choose hate just because someone else hates. Don't hate those who Love just because you don't. Many of us christians had hard hard lives before we decided to be better in Gods name. For God. To God... And in response ( in my life ) God showed me everyday that many of the evils I experienced were of my own making. And that by choosing to be better I can help others make the choice to be better. Jesus loves me, and I know he loves you too. Ask for something, give it time to grow, and if you get the thing you asked for, don't act like you didn't ask ( if it took a year to get the answer to your prayer then your prayer was answered. Not being patient doesn't mean you weren't heard or answered) ,,, just say thanks, and then do it all again. God bless you. I hope you pray for something good, and then get it as well. And I hope that's enough to show you that you can ask for more. ❤️❤️

Its physical aid to those in need. "Many of us christians had hard hard lives before we decided to be better in Gods name." - And many Christians continue to have hard times. Christians have the same rate of illness, accidents, divorce and crime than those of other religions. God is not a shield to misery or bad events. "Ask for something, give it time to grow, and if you get the thing you asked for, don't act like you didn't ask" - If you ask for mundane things which could happen regardless then it proves nothing. The same requests for wealth, health and happiness are made by Muslims, Hindus and every other religion. Isn't it telling that your rate of success doesn't matter on which supernatural being you send your prayers to? And of course you have the millions in Africa praying to be saved from war, disease and famine, but dying in their thousands with their prayers unanswered. This is the problem of suffering, god could save those people but does nothing. "Don't choose hate just because someone else hates. Don't hate those who Love just because you don't." - I don't hate Christians, I don't hate god, I don't hate Jesus, I find it hard to think of anyone that I would say I hate. " And I hope that's enough to show you that you can ask for more. " - Tens of thousands of ex-Christians did that and came away believing they were wrong.

@@jordanl8478 while I do not agree with Dawkins on much, on the topic of Old Testament Yaweh's character, he nailed it pretty well. What about loving, patient verses such as: 2 Kings 2:23-25 New International Version Elisha Is Jeered 23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered(A) at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse(B) on them in the name(C) of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel(D) and from there returned to Samaria. Im not "God" and still I would give my children infinite chances before I'd kill, enslave or torture them... let alone send them to hell for ANY reason.... or, uh... send bears to eat them 😃 It would seem the title of "elitist" would be more appropriately crowned those fire n brimstone brand of Christians with their members only club mentality. 🤔 I am not an atheist by any stretch of the imagination, but Christianity with the exception of the views of Christian mystics, such as Meister Eckhart, are delusional. Some may be "good" people, but many, many are restless out feeding their egos by saving/converting the supposed "lost." “Religions are divisive and quarrelsome. They are a form of one-upmanship because they depend upon separating the “saved” from the “damned,” the true believers from the heretics, the in-group from the out-group… All belief is fervent hope, and thus a cover-up for doubt and uncertainty.” ~ Alan Watts *Alan Watts was protestant minister, but left the religion to pursue the beautiful Eastern philosophy (Truth) of nondualism, such as found in Advaita Vedanta.

I think we tend to forget that the God we are speaking of is not subject to anything in existence. God is the ultimate standard, sustainer and judge of the Universe, and it's time we start acknowledging that when it comes to judgement. Following Christ means, "God stepped into his own creation to redeem those who are lost, not because he had to, but because he truly loves us and wants us to spend eternity in his presence. Stop following Christians, the church and any other professor of the faith, and follow the one who didn't have a racist, evil bone in his body, who laid down his life for his enemies, and who is returning to establish his Kingdom!

For me I have realized that God gives trials and tribulations so that we can learn and grow as a person. He is not picking on me. He does not love me any less than he loves any of his other children. Sometimes these trials and tribulations happen because of the choices we make, good or bad, they still have consequences. It would not be fair to us to take away those trials and tribulations because it will deny us of our capability of truly being great. Even Jesus was not exempt from trials and tribulations or sacrifices. He paid the ultimate price. Could you imagine if that never happened, the state we would be left in for eternity. It would not matter how many times we prayed and repented for our sins. There would be no way to erase them without him. Just because we don’t know why something has happened , why we have these trials and tribulations doesn’t mean that they are not there for a purpose, to mold us. All things that God does is to better us. My encouragement to all is to evaluate your life. The choices you make, and the consequences that that come from that. What are you doing to cause outcomes that you don’t like. That you don’t want to deal with. I have set a goal for myself to stop asking God why he’s doing this to me, why he’s letting this happen to me. And start asking him for clarity, determination, strength of heaven to endure the trials and tribulations. Because first and foremost our God is a loving God. It is the purest love, and I don’t think any of us will really truly understand that until we have died.

When we evangelise, we can expect to be mocked, ridiculed, yelled at, cussed at, insulted, threatened,...but mostly ignored. However, it is for the sake of Yeshua’s commandment in Matthew 28:18-20 and for the sake of the few that are open to God's Word that we preach

You cant hate an imaginary thing

[@nasis18]

Not angry at him. Just don't believe in a skywizard.

[@ZahLPJPLJ]

Pray for them.God said I testify against the world.

[@ngailai6104]

Hate is not the same as not believing, although there are haters.

[@jeffbearden9382]

FATHER please FORGIVE me for ever assuming that what's wrong in my life is your fault, yes with just a thought you could have made everything perfect in my life but it's been and always will be my responsibility because I have free will !!!!! Please FATHER FORGIVE me for being such an unruly child, please FORGIVE me for my transgressions and my judgment of others!!!!!! I will do my best to love all even those who would wish or do harm against me for I want to come home and I really can't take much more of this world RULED by satan !!!!!!

[@Wertbag99]

Free will doesn't account for all of the things that are outside of our control. Accidents, illness and natural disasters are not things that we can control. This is the core of the problem of suffering.

I work with a fella exactly like this. He brings up God alot and i talk to him with kindness and an open heart. He says things and i ask why he feels that way. I let him do most of the talking as i ask the questions and hes ah hah moments.

[@andrewmiller2906]

Amazing response

A thing to remember is god doesn’t give what you want he gives you what you need. If god gave u what u want all them time . then you would understand what you needed. I believe that god had a messenger to tell all what they needed to know. But they didn’t want it.

[@javiersimental1908]

God created us to have a relationship with him. And to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Be salt and light in this Darkening world

[@stephenkelly9558]

If they hate God it means they Believe in God which also means they are gonna face God when they snuff it so they can have it out with him when they face him. I think we all know who will win that argument.😇

[@thegoldendart3219]

And I have a friend that doesn’t think god exist and I need someone like this to help her

[@colletejohnson2227]

God is teaching them things. Strengthening them .

[@alainestall]

Purpose of life is to make it to HEAVEN and to save as many souls/people for HEAVEN

[@Creationadmiration]

My cousin has a deep anger for God, he's made a lot of mistakes in his life. Responsible for a dui that killed a father of 4. He uses it as fuel that God has abandoned him instead of seeing he's the only one Responsible. His name is Doug, please pray for him to come to the lord with an open and humbled heart

[@leekush8297]

Patience and persistence is key.

[@aidennelson3171]

May God bless, very important points.

[@ChrisTaylor-fu1lj]

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man.

[@beautifullife4673]

I Love your answer. God bless you.

[@questioneveryclaim1159]

Totally agree anyone who blames God still believes God exists. The purpose of life is, "To Grow." Hating something that does not exist will not allow one to grow.
