I remember when I was a young kid and we took the Abraham story and I was identifying strongly with Isaac as some kids might do at 9, that was just another nail into the coffin for me in the whole Christian saga. Even at nine it seemed to be either a load of malarkey or Abraham sucked as a father.
don't know Goob only knew as a kid it scared the bejesus out of me...(literally) because they push the fact that this was the holy thing to do, the right thing to do, the only thing to do if you loved God...you kill your kid...Lots of disagreement by Theologians on that one.
The main thing for me was that God's representatives (priests and nuns) were not embodying this "God is love" stuff. They made us live in terror of god and them.Problem with some is they look for what they consider to be the bad stuff in the Bible- Very reasonable on their part.
Especially if they conclude there is no religion that corners the truth.
I once posted a thread- name is a tad off- You cannot argue with the basic teachings of Jesus. And you cannot.
Jesus and his teachings aren't the problem, the way people and various churches use him is the problem.I once posted a thread- name is a tad off- You cannot argue with the basic teachings of Jesus. And you cannot.

Although I do have a problem with his apparent teaching that the only way to the father is through him. That has caused more death and destruction and misery throughout the centuries than is warranted. It is also wrong on just so many levels. And it was pretty much the last straw for me.
I do believe though that there is much good in Christianity for those who wish to use it for self growth, love, ministering to the poor, etc.
Except the one they modified so they alone have their own version of God, I find that a lot more scary that myself saying I know some OT verses that show the ultimate fate of the ones who die on the day of the Lord.Especially if they conclude there is no religion that corners the truth.
The Bible has a ready solution to that, leave the name tags on but fudge each person within the 'church' as being all Gentiles and their personal relationship with God is defined in the 7 letters in Re:2 and 3. That won't solve any of the 'bickering' as this is the device that makes the money keep flowing in the religious business and creates dissension in society that stops them from acting as a single collective and knowing that salvation is a free gift from God for introducing life to some flesh in a world that is less that His best effort. As life in Ge:1 had a starting kind all the life that will exist in the new earth also has a 'starting kind', all the flesh that lived in this earth.Jesus and his teachings aren't the problem, the way people and various churches use him is the problem.
If you saw God before meeting Jesus you wouldn't survive the introduction and would be sent to the lake of fire because you would be a sinner. There is a filter in place that stops that from happening and that being chastised by Christ. Granted the ones asleep in death that appear directly before God at the Great White Throne event do appear to have had death cleanse their sins away but the ones in hell would have been through the verses below.Although I do have a problem with his apparent teaching that the only way to the father is through him.

Each religion has moral and immoral people in it that fall into sin and rather enjoy the immediate rewards so 'all people' is a better term that 'christianity alone'.I do believe though that there is much good in Christianity for those who wish to use it for self growth, love, ministering to the poor, etc.
Child abuse.... Boy to do a man's job.... Are they statements valid in reference to a 30+-year-old-man?
Apparently if a god's agenda was a sacrifice for man's salvation and if-it-bleeds-it-leads (I presume that's never changed) there may have been a need.
Yes and anybody doing that should be hung. With God it may take some time before He is dead, all the ones sending soldiers to fight in a needless war, which is actually all wars, would be co-defendents. If you don't (willingly) include all of them them then you might be racist.
I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it, to be honest.
Another predator wildebeests face is the Cheetah.

Technically God and Jesus are one and the same so no.
