I'm not Christian, I'm Proud an Load expressive atheist" What would the the god of Christianity Be seen as Villain or Hero if he came back as Christ Again we all or most of all know story told he was crucified for his secular liberal Radical view's just to be prayed on for everyone Redemption for scapegoat, Away from their personal Responsibility what would he be seen as, I believe his on would not accept him on second time around, Just because he would not endorse enough hell fire hate death or convert as Pope Pius said kill them an let god sort them out, no he would in company of the unrighteous sinners helping healing sick feeding poor an doing good work's, with out casting judgment, No people of today would stone him to death or give him over to capital punishment he would be seen as a radical liberal trying to secularize human civilization,

sounds like you might be setting yourself up as God. that's one of the problems with organized religion; humans co-opt God and set themselves up as the authorities and don't open up to God's love for all through Grace. there's two kinds of laws--our laws and God's laws. Jesus said,
"I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it". i think what he was saying was that the Pharisee's had hundreds of laws that they had set up to control people and that there is a higher law that God has ordained that we may or may not live into.

The Problem of Evil
How Can A Good God Allow Evil?
The Problem of Evil - Introduction
John Stott has said that "the fact of suffering undoubtedly constitutes the single greatest challenge to the Christian faith." It is unquestionably true that there is no greater obstacle to faith than that of the reality of evil and suffering in the world. Indeed, even for the believing Christian, there is no greater test of faith than this--that the God who loves him permits him to suffer, at times in excruciating ways. And the disillusionment is intensified in our day when unrealistic expectations of health and prosperity are fed by the teachings of a multitude of Christian teachers. Why does a good God allow his creatures, and even his children to suffer?
First, it's important to distinguish between two kinds of evil: moral evil and natural evil. Moral evil results from the actions of free creatures. Murder, rape and theft are

GOD'S EVIL PASSAGES IN SCRIPTURE:
IS GOD GOOD OR EVIL?
Those intimately acquainted with the Hebrew ("Old") Testament continually run into a perplexing problem. If God is supposed to be all good, why do we find passages where God commands and performs heinous acts, often mass slaughter, of human beings?
God's commands like the following are quite common: "Now go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all they have and do not spare them. Kill both man and women, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey."(1 Sam. 15:3) (See also: Deut.2:30-35, 7:1-2, 7:16; Josh.6:21; 1Sam.6:19; Jer.13:14) God would even go so far as to "harden the hearts or souls" of the intended victims to provoke a reason to attack them. (Exod.4:21; Deut.30:31)
If such savage aggression to others is not bad enough, God would also turn on his own people if they diso

The Grand Fonality of Religeous Doctern
Reading the comments on my previous post, it appears that some people are in doubt as to how the Bible says one should treat their own children. One commenter "highly doubt[s] God would condone murdering a 19 month old baby for not saying AMEN" and that I should reread the Bible, praying before and after every single passage. Someone else complained about verses being taken "out of context" and a third just said that she doesn't "live by Old Testament ways," despite Jesus's firm command to the contrary.
One of the many cultural myths with which I would like to do away is the notion that the Bible is somehow a sturdy moral foundation for our lives, particularly where families are concerned. To that end, I have compiled ten of the meatiest verses from both Hebrew and Christian Testament on the treatment of child and family. Of course, as these are the rules of
