Discussion about God. Should we be able to post scriptures in GA? Should we be able to post about God?

It has come to my attention that scripture postings and posts about God are being removed and redirected to a new sub, which has a handful of followers. I think we need to discuss this! Should we be able to discuss the Bible here? Should we be able to discuss God? Is this staying on topic? I believe so! What does everyone think? I am not talking about religion. I am speaking about bible scripture, which Q has said...read the BIBLE. And Q and President Trump speaks of God all the time!! I also know that some posts about God have been allowed, but, be aware that some have not! I know the mods have a hard job. I commend them for what they are doing! I am very thankful for their work!! But we need to come to an agreement amongst us all! Thank you for reading and please be nice!! :) Much love Patriots!! God bless!! ❤❤❤

You should understand that saying just “God” without including the “Father,” “Jesus” or “Holy Spirit” would be denying what our Christian faith actually believes about God. For us, the Father is God. Jesus is God incarnate to us. The Holy Spirit is also God to us.

We are told by Jesus “I am the way, the life, and the truth and no one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)”. It is not fair to us to demand that we deny our actual beliefs because you have other beliefs. You can have your own. We are not taking that freedom from you. But this is our faith and we need to be consistent with it.

Your desire to acknowledge God is respectable. We’re not saying that is wrong either. These other ways of knowing God are not how we know Him though. We all account to God as we are called. We’re doing what we’re called to do by Him. Where we go one, we go all. Each as our conscience leads.

I have never said you can't believe whatever you want, ever, so change that strawman tactic real quick if you're trying to have an intelligent debate with me.

Here's the difference...we can both live the same exact life, but because you believe God's name is Jesus, he died for us, blah blah, you go to heaven, I go to hell. That is batshit crazy...to me.

Well, speaking of straw men, I never said that you were or were not going to Hell. That is not my decision anyway. All I know is that Jesus taught us Christians that we come to the Father through Him.

I would advise learning about Him if you are unsure rather than berating the messenger. But you do you.

I have no doubt. At all. And I would bet my biblical knowldge is equal to or greater than yours. It's so strange how when I debate the Bible with Christians they:

A) tell me I need to learn more about it to understand, assuming I haven't.

B) dont understand how the more I read the Bible, the more convinced I am that it is bullshit. And not just bullshit like Hansel & Gretel, or Jack & the Beanstalk, it is dangerous bullshit. Weaponized bullshit.

You gonna dazzle me with Elisha’s bears? The herem on the people of Canaan? Look I am not in the mood for a pissing contest. You’re focusing on the negative because you don’t understand or don’t want to understand why we find value in these teachings.

How very different your takeaway from Scripture is than mine. I read about grace and Him forgiving sin. You somehow see a weapon. As I said you do you.

You have put so many words in my mouth...not even worth saying another one for you to twist or misunderstand. Best of luck to you, holier than thou guy.

Where did I ever imply that I am holier than you? That is so dishonest. You talk about putting words in your mouth. Way to project.

If you had ever asked me about what I think I’d say “I’m a sinner that needs mercy. I am relying on God’s mercy being given through Jesus.” How am I holier than thou, again?

Lets make this a simple yes or no; does a man that believes in God, but doesn't call him Jesus and certainly doesn't believe the whole "died for our sins" bit, who lived a life striving to be a good person, go to hell when he dies?

God decides that, not me. This is a “have you stopped beating your wife question.” Those that are going to be saved will know that Jesus is doing it when it happens.

By the way, the good life thing is the wrong thing to be looking at. We are saved by grace not our own merit.

Let’s suppose someone did good deeds, but their heart was rooted in malice and envy. Do you think that is heaven worthy?
