Confusing them with progressive issues. You must think they're real effing stupid! This is their world they are inheriting, not yours.

It is a world that a lot of sick people are pushing at them.

There isn't anything funny about suicide.

Though "God won't give you more than you can handle" is a favorite quote of many believers, it not only never appears in the Bible.......

I think folks are referring to this;

1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Oh gosh ...

Oh gosh....what? You knew it would happen.!

 

[Lavinia]

Job 38-42
Who are you to question God?

God? Which God? The Bible has been wrongly translated. In the Bible, 'God' is referred to as Elohim...which is a plural word. There was more than one God, so which are you referring to? Jove, Jupiter, Zeus...

No
God The Father
God The Son (Jesus)
and
God The Holy Ghost

 

[David777]

Though "God won't give you more than you can handle" is a favorite quote of many believers,...Rather than never putting His followers in situations they can't handle, God occasionally does overwhelm them so they can grow into people capable of handling anything.

God gave most of us the ability to think logically. Logically, there's no proof that God exists other than some books written some 2,000 years ago, but if we don't believe in God or accept Jesus as our savior, we spend eternity in hell after we die. Is that another example of God "testing us?"

Religious dogma written by men for obvious reasons beneficial to churches and their leaders in order to control their flock but IMO unlikely from god or his race of UIEs if they actually exist. I'll challenge anyone to find where it states so in scripture beyond vague statements that he has a plan for each of us we ought follow and is constantly involved in what all 7 billion of us are doing. Just as The Bible is not inerrant, so are some suspect statements much like the Noah's Ark and Flood. As I've stated before, its obvious God/UIE's haven't corrected what men wrote. Jesus even condemned the religious elites and rulers in his days.

Particularly the narrative about Hell without exceptions for all those that don't go to Heaven. Yes some electromagnetic minds aka "spirits" particularly during Jesus's days from that local region, may go to some awful place but most over millennia likely just cease to exist as in dead is dead. Consider the myriad third world humans that never even heard of the Christian god before the modern era? The little children that died young? Would some benign ultimate intelligent entity in the Universe punish them? Moral nonsense. Or maybe more likely some religious authority centuries ago thought that was a good weapon to scare primitive humans into their flock.

No

You just die......forever

There is no 'eternal hell'
Nothing in The Bible supports that
There's just eternal death.....separation
Sleep...worm food.

Ecclesiastes9:5
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing

Although translations of the Bible are not completely reliable…the Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew which makes it even more difficult for the ordinary person to understand..

While the word elohim is plural in form….. its meaning can be either plural or singular. Most often (over 2,000 times) in the Hebrew Bible it is singular, referring to the God of Israel.

Elohim can mean several things. Sometimes Elohim refers to plural "gods," as in "You shall have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7). At other times it refers to the singular "God," as in "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1).

Confused?

’Elohim means “gods” only when the Bible applies this plural word to pagan deities. The word in fact, is only a title, not a name.

The name of God in the Jewish Bible is Yahweh (YHWH) as revealed to Moses.

Spot on, sister

I didn't want to go there

There are a few references to plural, however

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image"
Genesis 1
I'm thinking The Trinity

But, I haven't delved into this subject with depth as it doesn't have much importance to me
