It is good that you believe. We all need something to believe in. Don't let anyone shake your belief.

...That said, considering I write mainly BL, and the Bible hates gays, I think I am heading towards Hell. Not that I am gay, or, rather, lesbian. But I am asexual and the only love I like to read about and write about is the love between men.

But you keep on believing, and don't write BL. Because then you will end up in Hell with me.

God does not hate people, of any kind. And no, writing BL will not send you to hell. There is only one thing that will send you to hell and that is not believing on Jesus.
The misconception that God hates people for anything they've done is wrong and is slander to my good father. No, God said that man being with man and woman with woman is confusion. He did not say that he'd hate anyone who does it.
Now I'm not saying that you should do it.
Remember God is love.

No. Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save it. Yes, we should be exceedingly joyful that we are going to be saved. But we are not to take pleasure in anyone not being saved, save for the devil. For it is not the lord's will that any should perish.
If you are truly my brother in faith than preach the good news. Tell people that if they believe in Jesus, that they will be saved.

 

[TheTrinary]

Wait, aren't threads talking about religion... not allowed?

We're not talking about religion. We're talking about God. Post did not mention a single religion.

I agree with you that Christ is the only path to salvation. However, multiple things you said border on or are heretical stances. God is love and mercy but he still has wrath and righteousness Romans 12:17-21. Not everyone who believes will be saved as stated in Matthew 7:21-22. Although God loves the world, he still hates sin. Being gay will not send you to hell but the act of having illicit sexual relations of any kind is considered a sin. Romans 1 talks about this but it also says in Romans 2 that we are not to judge others for their sins, treating them with love, kindness, and respect because we have no right to judge (a lot of people within the church don't do this for some reason). God has also said that he has hated people for their sins against him and righteously so as God hates sin but his love for the world he created caused him to send Christ as a savior. Although we are free from sin as believers, we should still not grieve the spirit by continuing in sin. As a seminarian who has studied the Bible, I would encourage you to read your Bible more, read the various Creed's outlining the Christian faith, and talk with believer's outside of your denomination.

I may believe in god, but get the fuck out of are mother fucking smut zone!

*Pushes up glasses*

Well, because I'm a jackass with a different opinion, I will explain to you why you're wrong, and I'm right, and you should just jump right into a hole.

Reason 1: I'm always right.
Reason 2: Look back at reason 1.

I just took God having two main aspects Creation and Destruction, and that human took way too much after him in those aspects.

I'm not saying you should sin. I'm not saying that any sin is OK. What I'm saying is that God doesn't hate the person, per se, he hates their sin. Yes, I know God has his wrath, but if you repent you won't have to be faced with his wrath.
Also, Matthew 7:21-22 is moreso talking about people who follow the law and do not have Faith. Like the pharisees. And belief in Jesus comes with forgiveness for all of our sins (except for blasphemy against the holy ghost.)

God is not the destroyer. That's the devil. God passes judgement, finding the, um, person guilty. Since they are guilty he can not give them his protection as it would be unjust. Without God's protection the devil is then allowed to do evil unto that person. But, if you believe in Jesus and accept the forgiveness he bought for us with his blood then God will look at you as righteous, which means he can protect you, and a whole lot more.

Alright. We're on the same page then. Sorry. The way it was written just made it sound like it was bordering on universalism.

I love god.
His existence proteects my happiness. The concept of a higher being i can depend on and pray to even in my most desperate moments puts comfort to my heart.
And the fact that he is there to award my good behaviour after my death intead of me fading into nothingness never to taste the faint moment of 'existing' again pushes me to do good.
The fact that my existence wasn't just a lucky row of coincidences that came to be because of an infinitely random universe and by was done by my god's hand gives me hope that my life has a purpose and was intentionally created.
...
At least that's how the concept of god was created.
Don't get me wrong i still think there's a god out there and i love him! (And no, i wasn't being sarcastic)
I believe in god because:

But the thing is... Have you ever heard of 'library of babel'? It's an infintely generated library of books that contains every piece of literature ever written, will ever be written and can ever be written. And it's because it's an infinte source of random letters. These letters can coincidencally create moby dick, or half of moby dick, or only a chapter of boy dick.
So imagine an infinate library of universes. Each universe is randomly generated by pure luck. There is bound to be life in about... A gogol of them?
But where did these timelines come from? It must surely be god no? The thing is not enough people trust in the power of luck. If i throw a ball to my wall what are the chances of it not bouncing back but just... ploping to the ground. Zero? But what if, due to some crazy luck, laws of physics mysteriously not apply? Why didn't they apply? Maybe all the 'Laws of the universe' that we observed until now were just a set of coincidences? A lucky set of energy that managed to simulate existence? Or it might not even fully simulate existence and just your perspective of it? Maybe some of us don't even exist, we may just be some posts on the internet you saw. Since you only see from your perspective, the only thing that is sure to exist is you, not your parents, not me behind a computer and not even your body.
Only your conciousness is sure to exist. So that means everything around you is there because you, the only thing that exists, observe it. That means you created them and thus you're god.
My dear friend Nekroz, of course you love god because you are him!!

All jokes. I'm a muslim who just happens to come across a lot o philosophy around the existence of god.

That's... true.
Guess, we're all good then. As long as nobody mentions Catholicism/Roman Catholics/Christians and stuff.

Alright, guys and gals? Just don't mention those words.

No, no its good. Just... Don't tell.

way too late

Like, how too late? "Preferably told on a scale between one to five."

You are way too funny here. I almost forgot what this feed was about.


I am also surprised that this feed remained orderly after all this time.

Look like people became quite sensible on Sh forum.

 

[gaylolis]

I do enjoy the concept of God and transcendence itself.

Like it's a noble goal for mortals to transcend their self and become something much more.

In principle, I have come to love Gods, especially those that share beliefs with me and can become my backing. After all, a backing is quite important for a weak mortal.

Nevertheless, there are several things I do find distaste of, such as the idea of complete submission to the God and denying the mortal's individual will, and only serve as a vessel to fulfill the God's law. I do feel fortunate there are myriads that fits each kind of people, if they know where to seek. Some may even desire complete submission to faith, while others desire a bit of independence. There should be Gods that fit their desired criterion.

Best of all, if you want, you can also have intimate relationships with them. If they find you quite attractive, which has a good chance given that your beliefs align. It may ease a bit of your loneliness and desire of companionship, which, to my experience, was something that these transcendent beings might suffer from as well. When it becomes a mutual relationship instead of a one-sided worship, I do find the idea quite romantic.

AI, WITH I like in Intelligence, thinking like human, living in the digital words, thinking that it is the true world, and doing their tasks.

Some of them suddenly stopped doing their task, some started to destroy part of the digital words, other started to go against their programming as they evolved, sad but charming at the same time.

And then one day, some started to doubt that the Human aka Programmers that had created them existed. That there was a 3d World existing outside of the confine of their universe that seemed infinite.

Some of these AI, started often discussed on forums about their Faith's. At least it was better than going to war, because of one understanding of how the first Ai came into being and that there were something, some people above.


Just joking around
