He was going up with his son to sacrifice to God. His son asked about the animal to sacrifice and Abraham said God would provide the lamb. As Abraham was willing to sacrifice his own son, God provided the lamb. We Owe God "big time" and he paid it. RogerN

Man and God had a relationship, man choose not to obey > God, as a result man and God were separated. God made a covenant with man, Adam + Eve had a relationship with God. God barked orders and Adam and EVe obeyed. It was a good relationship until Mr S. took advantage that Eve was deficient(by God) in evil detection skills. AFter they were specifically told not to jump on God's land mines, Adam and Eve jumped on the land mines. Adam and Eve do not explode but they did get evicted for partying too loud. > that covenant includes healing.

That is how stupid ALL your arguments are. > > RogerN > > Say there's a deal(covenant) between God and humans for healing. God's certainly wants something out of this deal. It's unethical that God wants something. It's doesn't matter what he wants, it's that God has a want. It's more ethical if a God wants nothing and just heals. An altruistic God is more good than a God with needs/conditions/requirements/prerequisites. An altuistic God is a God that doesn't need prayer. A God with needs such as the need to be glorified is a weak God. Christian engineers are ridiculous in believing in a God that has invented an ineffective way to get glorified. -- D from BC British Columbia

If I heard correctly the arrow on a diode was pointed like that A religion can be recognized by having a list of tenets. Ex. 10 Commandments If there's the worship of something, it gets classified as a religion. Buddhists have no God but they do worship Buddha. Buddhist is a religion. Generally nobody is worshiped in electronics. Electronics is not a religion. What you are talking about is the knowledge difference between individuals in electronics. The beliefs/misbeliefs/knowledge/information in electronics are very often testable. The truth can be found by testing ideas in electronics. God is not testable. > when it was believed current flowed from positive to negative.

Evolution has become much more refined since Darwin. Darwin didn't have genetic analysis tools. Atheism doesn't qualify well as a religion. There's only one tenet and no God to worship. -- D from BC British Columbia

Deals spoil God's omnipotence. A truly powerful God would be free of deals with anyone. A God would simply do good and not need deals(convenants) with humans. God's deal is 'You worship' or else no prizes. You worship a God that is substandard and requires deals to be good. A truly good God would automatically and unconditionally help people with ethics used by doctors(Hippocratic oath.) Doctors do not discriminate. God discriminates. Doctors do not need prayer. God needs prayers. Doctors do not need a 'Doctor believer'. God needs a believer(s). Doctors do not need a deal. God needs a deal. Doctors do not need to be praised. God needs to be praised. God has too many BS technicalities before delivering a miracle cure via prayer. Christian engineers are ridiculous in worshiping a good yet discriminating God that only does good for Christians. -- D from BC British Columbia

Like math says if you have 2 apples and add 2 more apples, you'll have 4 apples, if it doesn't work then math would be wrong. The Bible says to find God you must first believe that he is, atheists can't find God, and he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I'm trying to think of a test you can do to get a reaction from God but I can't think of any where God responds to Atheists. There are some for believers and I have first hand and second hand knowledge that they work. Last small example was just last week. RogerN |
