God Loves You.

[Theland]

God loves you.
Shouldn't you love Him back?

\\ I couldn't care less what you or anybody else thinks of me, I am not answerable to you, the mods, or Answerbank generally. //
Until you're not feeling well then you're on here looking for sympathy and if you care to look, this comes from atheist and christian people.

[Theland]

So it does, and is helpful and much appreciated. Thank you.

[MartinMillar]

No because I don’t believe there is such a person as a god

[Theland]

MM - your prerogative. And no interest I presume?

[MartinMillar]

I think it is a shame to be a slave to a non existent body

[Theland]

We are all slaves to something.

[ummmm]

I don't think God loves me. He wouldn't have made me so clumsy if he did. Unless he shows his love buy seeing me in physical pain!!

[Theland]

Ah the evils of natural evil, earthquakes, volcanoes and clumsiness :-)

[emmie]

i don't believe in any god.

Theland, you still haven't answered. Without any personal attack to you, do you think God would approve of women priests... as he looks at the heart, not the gender?

[Atheist]

Theland, I think that evil has to involve some element of conscious action, not natural stuff like weather etc. I don't think there is such a thing as 'natural evil', it's just stuff that happens. I don't believe that the universe is malevolent or loving, it simply is what it is and has no mind with which to care about us.

[Theland]

According to the scriptures, no, but that may be a cultural thing.
But, male and female both have differing but equally supporting roles. Females have gifts lacking in males so who wears the frock is really of no consequence.
Personally I get a bit confused on the subject, but tend towards males only.

[Theland]

Atheist - It is we'll recognised that there is moral evil, and natural evil, Covid being one.
Just part of a broken creation.

[Atheist]

Oh Wow! Theland's come out!!!

[Atheist]

Theland, where's the malevolent intent in Covid?

[pixie374]

Thank you for answering.... I agree that male and female are different, and are supposed to be... but what is it that says males would be better priests?

[pixie374]

It's one thing to say one sex is better at something than another.... but then, why forbid it?

[Theland]

Or earthquakes, tsunamis, accidents etcetcetc natural evil.
The creation was not meant to be like this.

[emmie]

there were women priests long before the Romans came and conquered these isles.

[Theland]

Indeed, maybe playing to the strengths and spiritual gifts of either gender.
