Does God Hold Us Responsible ?

Does God Hold Us Responsible ? ?????

Of course, you may never have thought about the matter. -- If this is your opinion--
Who holds us accountable ?-- God.---- Who, then, fixes our fate ? Many would also answer: “God ??‘That would never happen,’ you say -yet, according to some, that is what God does. If good and bad are from God -and he has written everything on our foreheads, as it were, why would he hold us responsible for doing bad ??

//You're fate is in your own hands.//

Thanks, I was wondering what that was.

[Theland]

Beso - '' Spiritually hallucinogenic?''
Quite a statement just another of your opinions based on nothing of any substance?
Or do you have new information that I could research?

[Theland]

''Your fate is in your own hands.''

Very true. Its called free will.
The freedom to choose your own fate by freely accepting or rejecting the free gift of forgiveness of sin, and a loving relationship with God.

[archibaldy]

Great, rejected then. That was easy.

Theland, your pals act with Goodlife has to be a joke. No? By his philosophy you’re just as doomed as the rest of us - and doubtless by yours he won’t make it past the pearly gates either.

//Don't worry, you probably have a few years left before you have to give an account of yourself.
Enjoy.//

How dare you presume to threaten people? And you claim you don’t preach.

As for free will, where there are pre-determined negative consequences to one’s actions there is no free-will. Your God was reputed to have many names. Was Hobson one of them?

[Theland]

Your posts are are as pedantic and silly as always.
Talk among yourselves. (Yourself.)
You have nothing serious to say, and you say it too often,and too loud.
Take another long break.

[Atheist]

Theland, do you believe in hell?

[vulcan42]

Theland, if your God gave us free will he did it with the knowledge that some would choose "the dark side". Knowing this would happen he still gave it to us so what was his reasoning for giving us this choice? Did he want people to fall by the wayside and again, why?

[Theland]

Atheist - Hell? Yes I do.
Hell is existence without God. Your choice.

[Atheist]

Theland; so hell is not punishment, it's just a voluntary wish to be condemned to eternal suffering?

A neutral observer might comment that people are just making stuff up now.

You are entitled to disagree with naomi, you are not entitled to be rude to her - that is unacceptable, and as a Christian, you should absolutely know better than to demean and look down on anyone.

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // Hell is existence without God. Your choice. //

Thanks - option exercised, but it doesn't feel like 'hell' to me, and is infinitely preferable to the Sisyphean existence you live on here, doomed to endlessly argue the same tired points to a deaf audience who don't care.

[Theland]

I'm not rude.
You atheists should question yourselves as to why you all need to be so concerned in what you don't believe?
Quite a puzzle?
Any atheist societies we should try and emulate?

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // I'm not rude. //

Then if you think that, you need to brush up on exactly what the term 'manners' means, clearly you missed the lessons when they were given to you.

// You atheists should question yourselves as to why you all need to be so concerned in what you don't believe? //

'You atheists'??? You seem to imagine that an absence of belief is carried around like a flag to wave and a lifestyle to ty and emulate.

You are confusing atheists with 'you Christians' - that's your burden to carry, not ours.
// Quite a puzzle? //

Only to you and your fellow fervent Christians it seems.

// Any atheist societies we should try and emulate? //

Just about any in the Western world, the majority of which have only been nominally 'Christian' for decades, including this one.

[Theland]

Bull poo.
Read your 20th century history.

[Theland]

Happy atheism folks.
I have nothing to prove, and you have everything to lose.

Theland - // Happy atheism folks.

Seriously???

If you are that content, why are you on this site day in day out arguing your views and being rude to people who don't agree with you?

You may notice that I have never posted a question about God on this site in the twenty years I have been here.

That's what having nothing to prove actually looks like.

As for 'everything to lose' - I have my life to lose, just like you, nothing more, nothing less, and I don't waste mine fretting about science and patronising people who think differently from me.

If you were that secure in your faith, you wouldn't be on here every day arguing about it, but you are ...

[Theland]

I come on here maybe to help serious seekers after God?
No need to fall out .
I do no offence, I think no offence, I conspire no offence.
Any problem?

Yes there is a problem.

You lack the moral fibre to admit that you are knowingly rude to other posters, and to admit it, and apologise.

When called out, you switch to full-on martyr mode - "What me? What have I done?"

You don't want to 'help serious seekers' at all, you are far too self-centered for that. It irks you that posters like naomi can regularly puncture your arguments with well-based arguments of heir own and you respond with offence regularly. I have called you out on it, so have others, but still you do it, and then act all innocent.

It doesn't wash.

You lack the true courage of your faith, you condescend and then deny it.

The fact that people like you pretend to be Christians, but clearly aren't in your behaviour and attitude, make me glad I am not one of you.

You need to think seriously about how you present yourself, how you are rude, and how you lack the basic maturity to own up and apologise for it when you do it time and again.

Your God must be seriously disappointed in you, but I couldn't care less if I never exchange another post with you from now until doomsday.

Think about it.

You owe Naomi an apology.

Be a man and post one.
