What makes so many people hate God

[QUOTE]Originally posted by John:Well, there you have it. The Bible contains the criterion for the messiah. The bible also has the genealogy of Christ-- two in fact. Neither of them are valid messianic lines. Ergo, as per the Bible itself, Christ ain't the messiah.Oops!
[/B][/QUOTE]John, you have raised a valid question for which a suitable answer has not been made available to you. The absence of the answer does not prove your point.

LL I know that John does not need me to defend him, but you are way out of line here. As I just finished posting in another thread, it is God's kindnessthat leads us to repentance and the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome (fighting and contending). Instead, he must be kindly to everyone and mild-tempered; he must be a skilled and suitable teacher, patient and forbearing and willing to suffer wrong. He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness ...I hesitated to say this to you publicly, but what you have done has been public. Please, no more.

I would just like to point out that the words were not my words, but Scripture quoted from the books of Romans and 2 Timothy. The kudos belong to God. I was just the messenger.

LL,What a privilege to share with you the good news! Paul writes in Romans 1:16, I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ, for it is God's power working unto salvation to everyone who believes.Does God exist? Absolutely! He exists and he loves you, so much that He worked together with His Son Jesus to make a way for you, me and all those who believe to spend eternity with Him. ~~~ So let it be clearly known by you, that through Jesus forgiveness is now proclaimed to you; and that through Him everyone who believes [who acknowledges Jesus as his Savior and devotes himself to Him] is absolved from every charge and given right standing with God. (Acts 13:38,39)~~~LL, I am quite sure that there will be posts after this refuting what I have said. God has created you as a free agent, able to choose ... ask Him to reveal the truth to Your heart.

[/B][/QUOTE]John, you have raised a valid question for which a suitable answer has not been made available to you. The absence of the answer does not prove your point. [/B][/QUOTE]No, it doesn't. However, in the absense of that answer my point stands. That is as proven as anything gets in the real world.But on to some specifics. This is the sort of thing which seems to me to be too blatantly obvious for there to not be a ready made response. In fact, it seems like there should be mountains of refutations, correct or not. Yet, I get no response. Nothing. You pick on, for example, the figure for pi in the OT and you get a firestorm. This attack upon the messiah gets nothing? Very strange indeed.[/B][/QUOTE]Bumped ... all the way over to here.
