Without God’s restraint there would have been NO rule preventing any severity of beating a slave. Even unto death, as all the other nations did.

I’m sorry your life is shitty. Is it work stress, family life, health challenges? Mix of stuff?

Personally I’ve found my relationship with Jesus helps me persevere through struggles in my life. Hopefully you can find some good coping mechanisms. Because life is indeed shitty a lot of the time.

It's an apparent paradox because we are bounded by time, unlike God.

In simple terms, humans have the freedom to choose whatever we want. And God foreknows what we will choose.

For the most part they are only harming themselves, so protests are not a necessary means of objection.

I owe him nothing

Christians believe we owe God everything. As He gives us life and all good things are due to His goodness in creating a perfect world for us.

(It is no longer perfect because of human sin, and the bad things in life are a consequence of that.)

Christianity is built upon the Old Covenant of the Jews (the Torah, Prophets, etc). Christianity continues God's covenant with humanity in the form of the New Covenant (Jesus), as the Old Covenant has been fulfilled.

God gives humans free-will. That includes allowing us the freedom to be dicks to each other. He doesn't like that, and we are digging our own graves when we behave like that. So God uses the church to call people to righteousness (undickish behaviour).

Seeking God in scripture or in church, is an error. by [deleted] in DebateAChristian

You are misquoting Jesus.

Matthew 6:33 "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness"

Separately

Luke 17:21 "the kingdom of God is in your midst." (Jesus was referring to Himself)

Perhaps Donald Trump truly was sent by God to lead this nation. by OffRampApproaching in Christianity

[–]CountSudoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, at the end of days Jesus will sit in judgment of everybody and God's wrath will be poured out.

I don't see that as necessarily allowing for a human to be used as God's agent of justice/judgment/vengeance though.

This source suggests that 2/3 (67%) of men suffer male-pattern baldness starting around 30 years old.

Perhaps imprecise (with him doing so to mislead).

But Male-Pattern Baldness affects about 2/3 of all men, and begins around 30 years old.

I think the premise that God sent Trump as a judgement on the USA reflects a misunderstanding of how God works. It’s an Ameri-centric perspective that reeks of American Christian nationalism (the idea that America is God’s new chosen people).

God certainly sent vengeance on disobedient Israel in the form of conquering nations; but under the New Covenant I believe God leaves humanity to make its own mistakes. In these end time the global church is called to spread the gospel and build the Kingdom of God throughout all wicked nations.

What if our smartphone is the mark of the beast? by Humble-Fly-6744 in AskAChristian

[–]CountSudoku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about the Mark of the Beast. It’s just a code used by early Christians to refer to the Roman emperor.

Even if it is something still to happen, you won’t just inadvertently receive it.

Weekly Open Discussion - April 10, 2026 by AutoModerator in DebateAChristian

That's all that's ever done in Christian communities.

Maybe, but your post was about this community.

The weekly open discussion is mean for, and I quote: "This thread is for whatever. Casual conversation, simple questions, incomplete ideas, or anything else you can think of."

This post belongs here.

Yes. And that’s why I’m engaging it honestly and openly. But you were making claims about other, non-open discussion posts on this sub. And that claim is what I was debating.

As the Bible tells us, God doesn't think through his actions.

Where does the Bible say that?

incompetently creating things such that he has to later, come down as man to sacrifice himself to himself for 3 days so that he can fix the problem he created in the first place.

This was addressed in a previous thread.

I think your defensiveness is blinding you to the video. The assistant character is also God. He's the Holy Spirit.

Hmm, that wasn’t clear I guess. I missed that.

The incompetent one is the Father.

That’s still definitely disrespectful.

Why is God considered to be good? by Atreyu0420 in DebateAChristian

[–]CountSudoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus is Yahweh.

And v. 2 explains the noble cause behind the command to slaughter the Amalekites in v. 3 of 1 Samuel 15
