Your type sends pagans to hell, so get over the insult. Your type is the cause. People tend towards spiritual feeling, and it develops according to culture. Most of us aren't hebrew. Get over yourself.

Introspection. We have been doing this for a while now. Your bible is at best a collection of our thoughts about this. No creator gods showing up.

I don't send anyone to Hell, I'm trying to help everyone avoid that place, by not blowing
smoke up people's butts telling them they are safe when they are not. It isn't a culture
thing, it is God thing that has us all in danger of a devil's hell, because of our sins before
God. Rejecting any danger because you do not like the sound of it, does not do away with
the danger it only blinds you to it.

Being Hebrew or not doesn't matter, it is if you have sinned before God or not.

The ark is myth. Assume that is correct, how does this affect your thinking. Because the ark is myth, and shame on you for not knowing this.

How would you know if God has shown up or not, it isn't like you are all knowing, you didn't
even know I was a male until I told you.

Your god is so weak to the point of invisible. We decide what we should do. You need to be told right from wrong, I get that. Who controls you. Do they want to strap some bombs on you?

How, indeed. Is it so weak it cannot make its presence known! I still do not know your sex, nor do I care.

Judging by what I see on these boards regularly, I see far more 'misanthropy' in you than I ever see in him.

“If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.” Kahlil Gibran

Perhaps it is God's strength, rather than His weakness, that He is 'invisible,' that He allows mankind the freedom to wander a path that may or may not lead back to Him.

Most people call this concept 'free will'.

I'm okay with that, the implication is that good people are in.

I'm not shopping for anything currently.

I am still waiting for an intelligent response.

I believe I'm done.

You all can just go on nattering amongst yourselves.

In case you haven't noticed the world is crumbling.
If you don't see the truth yet,
the end is too close for many more opportunities.

(Ecclesiastes 11:4, 5) The one who watches the wind will not sow seed, and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap. 5 Just as you do not know how the spirit operates in the bones of the child inside a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of the true God, who does all things.

I see you buddy. If you were honest, you would not have posted. But you posted. Like the rest of us you do not have a clue, but you need to pretend.

Interesting point.

Who really has a clue about God?

And if a person claims to "know" anything, where did they obtain this knowledge? The Bible?

Do you think God who cares about people knowing Him, would only rely on the written word?
