If i owe $100 and someone comes along and pays it on my behalf.....?
...then my debt is paid. If Jesus was brutally tortured and murdered to pay for my sins, the debt is paid. If my debt is paid, then God doesn't actually forgive anything. Is it forgiven or is it paid?
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIf ye did not know that this passage was from the Bible...?
"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***." - 1 Samuel 15:2-3
.......what rational being in their right mind could possibly condone it? Innocent babies who are oblivious of even their own toes, defenseless animals having nothing to do with human politics, violently slaughtered in the name of a pure and "loving" god?
It really irks their ire when Christians are presented with their own scripture as reason not to follow. Deep down in the subconscious, the Christian cannot condone it, therein lies their conflict. They must either denounce it or try to save face, since they have already proclaimed to the world that their Bible is THE perfect will of a just and loving god, and try (against their own heart of hearts) to spin it as something good. You may have your "truth" of the Bible, but i choose the honesty of me own heart. Thank you.
