ORIGINAL: mikeyOfGeorgia In appearance, and according to what means are available; sure, but if truth and life can only be given by those in heaven, what would this other have of real value to offer? This point relies on those who wrote the "Bible" and thus still is from only one perspective...those seeking to control other's lives out of fear and "spooky language" Why? Am I not allowed to have my own perspective? What if I had a reliable source that others did not know of? quote:
if said person were to truly want to be "worshiped" so, would it not be logical to appeal to those they seek to have worship them by creating a comparative alternative to "Heaven"? not something people would dread or fear? Nothing belongs to him so he has nothing to offer, but deciet. quote:
(on a side-note: why do people use the term "God-fearing" when discussing their beliefs? If "God" really and truly loved us, why fear him? Just curious) I can not speak for how others use it, I personally would not. However, I can relate to the terms 'awe inspiring' and 'admiration'. I don't believe God does want us to fear him. I suspect, those who teach that, but know better, are attempting to get individuals to 'damn' themselves. Kim
