"Even if there are things in which we are not equal to god it would not follow that there are no things in which we are equal to him."
That`s the problem, we are not equal to God. It`s not just a question of wording, it`s our reality: we share something given that we are created in His image, but we are ocean`s apart in what, for example, goodness actually means and feels like it. That`s why i said that it`s an impossibility to not look differently at God and men. And to me, that`s more then enough to not judge both the same way as that would be reducing God to humanity`s level.
Man and woman or X culture and Y culture is still humanity. The ground is still the same.
Death is God`s way of calling someone to judgment. And to me He does have the right to decides who keeps living and who doesn`t for the time has come - for some - to face their judgment, for good or bad.
My views on God`s actions rely on God as a whole, not on parts as when just looking through morality. Still, given our limited ways i do know that i don`t know everything but i do believe in God and trust Him. So, what some consider immoral i will say that given that it comes from God is not immoral as God is good.
Thing is, you did not invert everything as you did not invert your stance. The world changed but you.
The example that i gave "from point A to B" has 3 moments, not two as you read it.
It`s: 1: point A, 2: going, 3: point B.
When i tell someone about God (point A), they do something with it (going), then they put themselves on the path they choose as a consequence (point B).
You are claiming that telling someone about point A makes them automatically go to point B.
Me telling someone or presenting them with a choice, it`s just that point A, they do something about it and it`s because of that individual action that they reach their point B.
If i tell a sinner about God is not in the safe zone, he`s still in the start. Which means a sinner isn`t saved because i told him about God, as a good person isn`t damned because i told them about God.
The quotes aren`t contradictory.
It tells of people who had the "law" in them - those before Jesus - and those after Jesus who already knew about Him we then needed belief and baptism.
The other, complementary view is that, to those after Jesus who knew both realities can see how connected they are, how the source is the same.
Faith, like salvation, is given to those who open themselves to God. God gives them to those who want Him. You can`t claim that God is bad because He didn`t give someone faith and he went to hell for it,because that`s forgetting that you do have a say in this, a very important one.
"This means that while anyone has the potential for faith, not everyone will be given the opportunity to fulfill that potential by god and if they are not then they will be punished for not being given that opportunity"
No, everyone is given every second the opportunity to receive faith.
Mary wasn`t wrong. When did everything start? March 13th 1938 when Hitler invaded the first country, that`s when everything started.
The warning of another war was already revealed in 1917 during the first apparitions when Mary showed hell and warned about a new war. The part of the secret that was kept secret was about the evil done by Russia and it`s consequences, but even that one was known in due time for that evil to end.
Accepting love from the girl is no different from accepting the love from God. You have to open yourself, forget fears and lose yourself to find yourself.
It`s not a question of morality, as heaven nor hell are a question of moraility.
If you are going to reduce God`s punishments to your father`s punishments, you really are not going to understand God. If a person decides to be bad and start robbing people, having the law punish his actions is his punishment.
Just because God doesn`t come here and say what you did wrong, doesn`t mean He doesn`t show you why you are wrong, punishes you or guides you. You have a concious to feel regret and sorrow too. God`s punishment is the consequence of your actions.
"Should a human judge release a criminal because some people supply him to do so or should said criminal be released on the merit of having paid for his crime and/or for good conduct (his actions). Why should it be different on the supernatural level?"
Do you really want God to not help? He does because He doesn`t act as human judges, because He doesn`t judge like a human judge does.
If life ends and eternity starts, both hell or heaven have to be forever. There`s no second life.
