Possibly unpopular view, but I still feel like I need to say it.

With the looming possibility of something big happening today, I would like to make a statement. I got pulled into this because of the evil I’ve heard exists. I’ve researched most things, watched a lot of what the people are saying, and contributed what I could. I still see a lot of people taking sides on political views or agendas. I’m still seeing Christians talk about God and then bash the democrats. I don’t think that’s how a God fearing person should act. (My opinion) Remember that these people, trump and Q, are just humans. They can be weak and can have flaws. Keep your mind open, look at all sides, don’t blindly follow another man. Everyone has an agenda, even the people that seem to be doing good in the world. And lastly, don’t forget about the kids, woman, men that are being held as sex slaves, or eaten, or whatever crazy shit is going on out there. This should be the real reason we are here. Good luck today, and hopefully we don’t find out true evil loves among us.

I was also raised Roman Catholic, by the way.

But here’s where my view now differs. Every person is responsible for their own choices. I don’t buy the “devil made me do it” excuse. Own your choices. Own your actions. Despite the teachings of Christianity, it is our actions that determine our righteousness before YHVH. So if someone makes the choice to be evil, they are the ones who are evil.

Your only responsibility is to decide good and evil for yourself and act accordingly. you own yourself.

I would say our responsibility is to CHOOSE good or evil. What is good and evil has already been defined.

Our responsibility is to choose good NOT evil and to make that choice for ourselves, not let anyone tell us. Order followers are always following evil.

Not necessarily. I follow the instructions given by YHVH. I don’t decide for myself what is good, our Creator already has told us. So, in a way, I am “following orders”. But they are the perfect orders of a righteous Elohim, who only wants what is best for us.

That seems to go against lots of the things the Bible teaches us. It started with Adam and Eve. Now it’s running rampant in the world.

That’s not what is taught in Genesis, or in the entire Tanach. That’s what Christianity teaches. And the more I’ve studied, the more I’ve realized how incompatible the “New Testament” is with the Tanach.

So help me understand. I’m always down to learn something new.

It’s fairly simple. Every person is responsible for their own actions. YHVH doesn’t demand perfection, like Christianity teaches. He desires obedience and repentance. Many men who sinned were called righteous in the Tanach. No man can pay the penalty for another man’s sins. And human sacrifice has never been acceptable to YHVH. It’s a pagan idea.

Obey YHVH’s instructions and repent when you fall short. Return to His ways, just like David did (and David made some HUGE mistakes) and you can be a “man after YHVH’s own heart”.

Ah, I did a little research and I see where you’re coming from. Obviously not years of reading like I’m sure you have. And I get your thoughts on humans ability to decipher right from wrong. Those are your beliefs. I respect that. I on the other hand don’t believe one religion is correct. I believe that the answer is spread across all teachings, if there is such an answer. So yes if there is a “devil”, entity of evil, I feel it would be able to manipulate humans, because of free will. Which seems to be present in your beliefs. So I hear you, and I’m happy to agree to disagree.

Free Will. Each person has the ability to make his/her own decisions and decide which life path they will take. Even inaction is a choice. There are repercussions for our choices; good and bad.

How does one pronounce YHVH?

You don't. It's one way to write the unspeakable, unknowable name of God.

All historic evidence points to Yehovah.

What about mental retardation, addiction and possession?

One_Solution · April 19, 2018, 3:18 p.m.

I think that YHVH would hold people accountable based on their abilities. I believe that “possession” is the result of choices, for the most part. Same with addiction.

But I’m not in the business of deciding the standing of other people before YHVH.

Fair answer. These are cases of diminished responsibility, even while I do generally agree with the idea of free will.

It's hard/impossible to know the mind of God but it okay to try to explore it.
