hello Again from this side of town!!!!
Well to start I have to answer some of the previous e-mail you sent
me.We will deal with the Parable of the insane dog breeder first. There
is much wrong with this parable when trying to parallel it with the
biblical teaching of why Christ came and why it was he had to die in this
manner and for what reasons. First the parable says a man worked to
produce a strong ,intelligent breed who would be loyal. God did not
"work" according to the biblical account he spoke and he was obeyed by
what it was that his purpose intended. He was not out to produce a
"robot" that would serve him night and day. No pleasure will come from
"robots" who act according to the "programing" they received. But
creating a free willed individual who can "choose" between right and
wrong given the proper reasoning of the FACTS provided. It is also not
meant to be easy for one to acquire a decent knowledge of what it is he
may be worshipping. So according to biblical accounts God created man
with free will.
much more time could be spent on various points like " he planned to
kill them all, but then he had another idea"according to biblical
accounts God knew before the foundation of he world that his son would
have to die for us all(including you).But two of the biggest problems
with this parable is that the sacrifice of Christ was to transform us
into the image of God. NOT TO LEAVE US AS WE ARE !! And how can anyone
compare a person to a dog???People are rational ,complex beings Able to
reason between right and wrong. Dogs on the other hand are amoral ,
compared to humans pretty stupid,unable to rationalize. That is the
greatest problem I see with your parable. Please explain ?
Next we have A large problem in your usage of the term "Christian" this
term biblically defined is to "mirror Christ" . Matt 7 :22,23"MANY will
say to me on that day LORD ,LORD, did we not prophesy in your name ,and
in your name cast out demons,and in your name perform many miracles?And I
will declare to them I NEVER KNEW YOU,depart from me you who practice
lawlessness" It is very clear(crystal) here that much is done in the name
of Jesus but that by no means guarantees heaven. You are not a child of
God unless you are obedient to him in ALL points and actually producing
fruit as he commands. so to call baptists his children and to lump
everyone in as God's children you do on your own with no basis for this
but opinion,mixed with a subtle brand of Catholicism from the depths of
your fading memory of the religion that left you HATING THE VERY NAME
THAT THEY SAID THEY WERE FOR (Christ) and all the while you thought they
spoke for God.But they hate him. Please let this one point clear up any
problems you have with the definition of the term "Christian" Although
you do not believe that the bible is the accurate word of God I think it
is the best compilation of writings we have on this subject of God so let
it define what it is a "Christian"is to look like and how they are to
act. Just doing this one can quickly and precisely cut away all the
Impostors. So understand that all humans are NOT his children, but they
can be!!!!hence "the GOOD news!!!!"( I still confidently and boldly state
that the bible is inerrant ,but as far as the religion known as
Christianity the bible is the most consistent on the Religion of
Christianity .so it can speak on this subject better than any)
And then the final question I have time to answer is that of Abraham who
in Genesis 22 was to offer up Isaac on the alter. Let us look in Genesis
18:18 notice that in abraham "all the earth shall be blessed"? the earth
can't be blessed without offspring that was promised to Abraham. Then in
Gen 22:8 notice how the faith of Abraham came shining through when he
said "God will provide for himself"and then in he told his servants "we
will worship and return to you" ?????? WE WILL RETURN?????God choose this
manner in which to test Abraham ,And by faith Abraham knew the promise
God made "And in your seed all the earth shall be blessed". He knew that
his son was not to die.
Also in closing you said I wanted to have a bible study with you in
public to "beat you with our bibles until the evil spirits disappear??? I
think you seen that if we wanted to we could have but for what???you were
out numbered and all were pleasant and respectful. I think it is more you
have a shollow base for your religion and do not want to discover it
falls hard and fast in light of truth.
Maybe just one more point the laws of Physic states that every effect
MUST have a greater or equal cause. Power MUST have a source even in the
metaphysical realm. You said you do not believe in Satan??? according to
the laws of physics you are in error.:-) sorry! Please comment on that.
thanks for your time!MIKE
