Mean while I'm trying to have a discussion with you, so forgive me if your interests are not always at the top of my list of matters of interest as we discuss things.

Why not discuss what you used to believe when you claimed you were a Christian by
describing the gospel as it was real to you?

Why not discuss it?Rajk999 used the words "bribe" or "bribing God" with reference to obeying Jesus' commandments? Where? When was this?

Originally posted by @kellyjayFor the same reason as I have given the previous 4-5 times you have asked me and also because the answer to my question regarding your claim about Rajk999 - and what you call his "bribing God" doctrine - is not to be found in me describing my Christian past. Your repeated request is a deflection.

So I used HIS words and answered him accordingly.
Here it is
So when we apply our rules/laws/understanding to Him, can we really
grasp who He is, without His help? Can we do anything to make Him act
one way or another, can we bribe Him, can we do enough good things
to atone for the wicked things we do?
Its in the thread "his ways are not ours"
Originally posted by @kellyjayYes God could be bribed with good works and righteousness.
No, you agreed and said more than once God could be bribed.
I didn't except anyone to say he could, but there you were.
Your question was nonsense but I still answered it
Originally posted by @rajk999No, God cannot be bribed there is nothing you do, offer, or be that can make Him do

anything against His will. What you think is a god must be very lame if He can be so
impressed by some works, you call good.

You really have a few loose screws.
A bribe is something you give in order to obtain the favour of someone.
God favours those who live righteously and would sometimes reward them with lots of material things and good stuff.
Abraham, David and Solomon - they pleased God and were obedient to his commandments and God BECAUSE OF THAT rewarded them with money, property, power, wealth, women, in fact even forgave them all their grievous sins.
Lesser mortals [like the unrighteous] would not have had Gods favour.
