If God exists, I think that it is cruel of Him to let any of his
creatures die. And, of course, the view was, for a long time, that
death only became a reality as a result of sin, but, of course, there is
4+ billion years of evolutionary history that all experts in all subject
matters agree attest to the fact of living things dying from then right
up through the present instance of time.

You know that He does, because you
have seen the abundance of evidence.

In His eternal Kingdom, there is no death.

Yes, but in the Darwinian paradigm of survival of
the fittest, death is a required and necessary thing..

Such history filled with death. Whereas in the Creation
model of origins, it was all perfect and most beautiful.

So you agree that death was necessary.Yet you try to
blame God for death! And somehow you fail to see
that such reasoning is foolish.

If God's creation was all perfect
why did he have to destroy it all in

Apparently we messed up~big time!

But He promised that He would not
destroy the whole world again, with
water.

Next time it will be with FIRE. That
is yet future. So you still have some
time left. This is what will happen.

Your flesh will dissolve while you
stand on your feet.Your eyes will
dissolve in their sockets, and your
tongue will dissolve in your mouth.

The fact that He arose from the dead
should tell you that He was the One.

To reject Him is to reject eternal life.

"If you do not believe that I am
He, you will die in your sins."

it's never been proven therefore it's not a fact. it's simply a belief
some ppl have. you have a problem of treating your beliefs as facts

when did Jesus write that? oh, that's right, he never did. someone just
said he said it, therefore it's hearsay

--
“Atheism is the birth right of all human, remember that!”- hhyapster 7.4.23

"Christian beliefs fail against reason, facts, and knowledge"

"Religion is not about truth, it's about lifestyle"

"God is a convenient explanation for what man does not understand.
The less that's inexplicable, the less need for a 'God' explanation."

"The problem with theism is that it never remains within
the realm of belief, but invariably proceeds to assertion"

If one reads the Gospels -- all of them -- then it's clear there was
some "funny business" going on with the stories. They seem to start
out _one_ way, then get "embellished" (to put it kindly).

Take the crucifixion. There are devout Christians who have
themselves crucified every Easter in the Philippines...one guy
has done it 35 times. Yes, it's gruesome. No, it doesn't
kill them after 3 hours.

>> To reject Him is to reject eternal life.

Jesus taught his disciples to pray to _God_, "Our Father". But
you go ahead with your pagan bastardization and profanation of
the Message.

The one that calls himself "Michael Christ" has been known to
come up with his own "Jesus sayings".

It wasn't too long ago when he was singing about _his_ "Lord", that
I confronted him that it was "Lord of the flies" he was talking about.
He confirmed "his Lord" was that, too.

"Lord of the flies" is Baalzebub. Is that who "Michael" serves?
He seemed to say so.

But "the LORD" that Jesus worshiped, and taught his disciples to
pray to, is YHWH, "I AM".

I think "Michael" is very confused about who he serves at this
moment in time.

But there is hope. His question, "Who believes in God?" is ironic,
since he seems to be wrapped up with infernal forces. Even Satan,
it is said, believes in God -- and wants "Michael" to misdirect
his "prophecy".
