You are really tempting me to dig out my leather bound, Jesus text in red NIV Bible, but the point was to look at the dogma not from the perspective of a believer in the dogmatic box, but as a skeptic.
1. In no way are women portrayed in the Bible as equal. New and Old Testament, show me where god invited women to clergy.
2. So if man is free as god is free in his own image we can choose to abolish the influence of satan, or even to subdue the angel of darkness, but wow, that would be heaven on earth wouldn’t it? Joining the Jehovah Witness theology soon? You’ll still have to wait as that doesn’t happen in their book until after Jesus scoops up his cultists, sends those with unforgiven inequities to hell, and remanufactures the earth into heaven.
3. How in the world can the choices of a creation be disappointing to an omnipotent being? This would insinuate that god respects us, but frankly the guy can’t even bring himself to communicate with us directly. This doesn’t answer the question, why would an omnipotent being even allow Lucifer to exist? Even balanced good and evil theologies make no sense, the only higher power I can even start to believe exists from an intellectual standpoint is one that is pure evil. The tortured soul deity is the least plausible of all of them.
4. Ok, Jesus spends 30 years living in the flesh of man, or was it god? Anyway, 30 years and a crucifixion makes god sympathetic to the woes of a creation tortured generation after generation by Lucifer, a being the father allows to persist? Really? What kind of masochist believes that? Mock beat and kill him? Poor baby. I’ll do far worse if I ever get the chance, death won’t even be on the menu. Here, take the good news of the gospel and suffer some more. I, as god could fix all of it in a flash, but nah, Eve and Adam ate the apple so you’re all screwed until I decide it’s time to only torture a few of you, those who didn’t sufficiently kiss my ass, for eternity. No man, if you could choose to not suffer, or as an even more powerful analogy, prevent your children from suffering you would, but this god you believe in as god or Jesus is an asshole through and through. He watches suffering every day, has the power to stop it supposedly, and does nothing.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, I have no desire to disrupt or disturb your faith, but frankly if you step in the ring with me you have to expect a dialogue will ensue. Fair enough?
