He will always try to help
but when we refuse
it
> meaning I just simply follow the bible, have a relationship with God, and stay faithfully by his side
@Book i'm not a religious person by any mean. i believe there's a creator (not necessarily Christian God). but i like to study Christianity and I always find Chrisitians relationships with God fascinating
He's not gonna force us to come to him....and he's just gonna let things play out
in hopes that you'll return to him on your own
something like that

@TheSynical1 you are comparing the human father to the Heavenly Father. Although the two are alike on many ways they are different in many ways also.
See, but that is *your* interpretation of how God works. And my point, is that everyone is free to have their *own* interpretations.
Watch that video
The thing about The Bible and God is that it goes for really deep
You can't just understand it in one day
hell, I'm still taking time to understanding it but I still have my full faith in him
Nothing anyone can say or do will take that away from me
I've seen him work his miracles on my family.
Please watch the video

@TheSynical1 that can be dangerous though. For people who know what the Bible says - there is no interpretation. God lays out his standards for us very clearly in fact.
> I’m just saying, a book written by man, correct? And, man in inherently flawed, correct? So it would be egregious to think that the book wouldn’t be flawed. Especially after thousands of years of additions and redactions.
@TheSynical1 according to the preacher at my local school, he says God talked to man to transcribe the bible. It's definitely possible God's words got twisted down the line, therefore I think that's why a lot of preachers encourage people to go back to the original text

@kendikane88
How different can we be if we are made in his image. That’s like saying God is not flawed. Of course God is flawed! He obviously has flawed creations, if he didn’t, then humans would be perfect, correct

@isoboto
But, that is your *preachers* interpretation. See what I mean?
No God is perfect, but he purposely made us flawed.

@TheSynical1 not correct. God is perfect. Humans are flawed because of original sin.
😢
> No God is perfect, but he purposely made us flawed.
@Book that’s also not entirely true. He gave us free Will. We chose to sin.
oh
right
The video explains God you wanted answers he gives them
this is what I get for talking about stuff with no brain power levft

@kendikane88
See, once again, interpretations. And I love all of your interpretations. That’s the point in this discussion 🙂
I'd watch Arcadeius's video
> I never understood the “FEAR GOD.” Nonsense. God is all loving, so why should I fear someone who loves me? He made me, correct? He knows who I am, how I think and what I feel. So I have no fear of God, I only return the love that is given to me.
@TheSynical1 okay. i may anger somebody but I've a conspiracy theory that God sets up Adam and Eve to fail. Lucifer deceived him, and so to curb rebellions he had the apple to test Adam and Eve

@TheSynical1 that’s not interpretation though. That is what the Bible says.

@isoboto I mean I don’t think you’re wrong. God is all knowing after all. It’s not like the serpent entered the garden on the sly without God knowing...
What the Bible says is, there is no interpretations meant to be on the Bible.
Ahhh, and if God gave us free will, could that not be a mistake on his behalf? If it wasn’t a mistake, then why would our choices exercised in that will anger Him so? The New Testament shows us a much angrier and vengeful God, doesn’t it? And the New Testament introduces a more Loving and caring God. So riddle me this, if God was perfect to begin with, why did God change? Perfect doesn’t need to change

@TheSynical1 i guess so, because each preacher interpreted it differently. then there would be no singular truth, right?
If he made us Perfect that'd be a pretty lame and boring life if you ask me.
