We get it, you went to college and became an r/atheism mod

This shit is dumber than dirt, even for a low iq (((pagan))).

Every parent that's ever raised a teenager knows that his kid is going to, one day, do something that the kid shouldn't, but allows that kid to make the mistake before the parent punishes the child for that mistake.

This isn't a very hard concept to understand and in no way suggests that the parent doesn't love the child.

I'm starting to think conans God crom is a better option.

dont forget "I prefer blood sacrifice and look forward to it's revival when my chosen people construct our 3rd temple"

God is the government and the irs will make sure you give your tithings. Who knew.

God doesn't necessarily know what you will do. That's the point of free will.

The Calvinist perspective is that salvation is determined from the beginning of time.

The Catholic perspective is that freewill can interfere with the receipt of salvation, even though it is offered universally.

There are some cases in the Bible where God removes someone's freewill so that they will commit an action (such as the hardening of Pharaohs heart).

But, reasonably, an all-powerful God could produce for each individual the circumstances that best leads to their acceptance and salvation. Even in the case of Job, his suffering deepened his faith by granting him a perspective that he did not have prior to that, nor would he have had he not gone through those trials. In the case of Saul/Paul, God permitted him to persecute Christians up until a point. But Paul's perspective gained through his negative experiences became a useful tool for spreading the message of Christ.

The punishment related to sin (death) is forgiven so long as one is in Christ. Have faith.

"death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" - 1 Cor 15:55
