@FailurePersonified I disagree about love, look up agape. Gods love isnt less than ours, its much higher.

@FailurePersonified most of my beliefs can be renconciled with different christian traditions actually, though i dont consider myself a christian. I believe jesus is God. I'm just a monist panentheist and I believe in karma and trasmigration of souls and the ultimate liberation of all beings who return to God.

You’re not even a Christian last I checked Georgia.
Also what is “love” in the biblical definition? It’s not what you think it is

@FailurePersonified God literally became a person and literally died for mankind so we might worship him as a suffering servant and so we might know true love and friendship. verses of the old testament which show a cruel God I simply dont believe, I'm not a believer in scriptural innerancy, I believe some scripture has human origin.

@georgia I’m aware of the Greek but what I’m asking is more to do with how does God show His love throughout scripture.

@georgia so you are outside of the Church but have a notion of God (do you have a notion of Jesus?)

@FailurePersonified well, much of it is from God, but some things I believe God would never do, like kill all the firstborn of a people.

@FailurePersonified I'm NOTHING like a marcionite what the fuck dude. I dont believe in two Gods and that the old testament God is a demiurge. I just believe that the bible isnt perfect, although some of it is from God.

Oh so you are similar to a Marcionite.
I don’t really have anything to debate concerning that ideation. I affirm that God is the same in the Old and New and I don’t see God as cruel in anyway.
Studied the OT for about 15 yrs now and it’s pretty clear what is descriptive, consequential, and what is prescriptive. Most people think God is cruel because they assume He’s prescribing something and not describing a logical outcome.
