It's TRUE God does have bad days.

At one point he expressed regret for creating people.

Genesis 5:5-6

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

I though man was created in the image of god.

Or was it the other way around?

God was so grieved at his heart, that he decided to murder his own son to make everything better.

Psalm 103:1-2 King James Version (KJV)

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

A friend of mine says that to bless means to make happy. I suppose that means that even God can have a bad day. After all, he's God. He can do anything.

.


If Yahweh is the god in question, he cannot do anything. He cannot make himself seem like a good god as good god do not use genocide as easily as Yahweh does.

What god did you have in mind?

At this point, as a Christian, I think I am supposed to quote: Matthew 11:28

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

It is a bit of an ironic thing to say, because around here being a Christian is a lot of work, feeding the food-less, clothing the clothes-less, and de feeting the feetless,


It is indeed a lot of work to be homophobic and misogynous and deny better than half the planet equality. That is a lot of hate time.

Why does god make so many despicable people?

Or do you blame mankind for following our god given instincts?

If you make something that does not do as you want, do you blame the maker or the made?

Most Christians are conservatives and would damn us as 'bludgers' if they thought we were taking respite.

To the conservative Christians there is no such thing as illness unless they or theirs are the ones whom are ill.

But...then again, look the way the terrorist extremists took the 'Religion of Tolerance' out of context....

Christianity has little on which Christians agree, so I don't know how one can think of it as dictatorial. Also, what about it is secret?

One Christian organization, which sponsors the White House Prayer Breakfast, has a reputation for its private, out-of the spotlight operations. See the Netflix documentary, The Family.

Christians, especially Evangelical Christians, use the word, surrender, to describe their relationship with God.



No human preachers can serve as perfect metraton for God
No human will always take a preacher's advice in the context meant by the preacher.
For there is not only human error but also error in human ego and therefore the need to hide personal agenda.

A lost sea scroll parable left out of the Bible said something along the lines of 'Let not the fraility of brick and mortar reside as only host to your better judgement as the true temple of god is thyself.'

The bible reads; 'if but all else be true to thy self'

How many times has a preacher stated a word of god yet something in you took offense as that it was most certainly not the word of god?

I trust that something in me more than ANYTHING outside of me.

Just to clarify, you believe in a trinity of three gods.. Is that right?
