Why I can't anymore : Sorry for my poor English, but I've tried hard !!!
Since the beginning of the time, till the 19 th century and more, most of stories and songs for kids, was made to scary them with a moral at the end. To me, the bible is one of kind of that type of book (for children we are inside). The occident who’s leading the world have been feed by it … that’s why this world is the reflection of the bible precepts, very fare from the human nature and love actually ! This is my point of vu. Why?
When I had suddenly tackled again the question of the religion, I’ve open the bible to the book of exodus chapter 20 to analyze the ten commands again (I do not know why I’ve started with that). You will note that even if they’re obsolete they say much more than I thought before. For the first time the unconscious inconsistency I was feeling since always materialized this special day in the form of verse 5 (Exodus chapter 20 In knowing that I’ve read those verses several times without being particularly disturbed before by them).
Ex 20 : 5 “… I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me”
About which kindness does it speak? How translate this text, b ut by : INJUSTICE ! How can you love anybody which makes you pay the consequences of others faults (indifference), and this only because you are of his descent (inconsistency)? A kind of RACISM in fact …
As human we know that racism gives nothing good! And all psychiatrists will say to you that any punishment not justified and/or non proportional causes psychological disorders of any kind!
God even authorized men to do the same on several generations : what about Noah, because his son disrespected him ? Why God didn’t interfere saying that before to request any respect from his son, he should have pay attention to himself? Who gets drunk like a pig? He should have to assume his own stupidity?
What’s the message here? The father or oldest are always right? We as human being know what it is all about ?
To the JW : Do not tell me that we are not alone concerned (angels and stuff)! It would have been enough to destroy all the protagonists the very same day, to save all the others (angels?) Who would stayed quiet definitively! ... (This is only one solution among so much more!)
For example, why not have attached our free will quite simply! Like he did in the beginning? What’s this vice about the forbidden fruit? Does he take pleasure to tempt us. This is exactly what God have to reproach to SATAN and EVE while having been the instigator of the offence! (Inconsistency - Pride - Indifference) : he is responsible and the first person in charge? Maybe he does not want admit it – but we’re not that stupid he should be also the first to know that! (Bad faith? like Noah!) Is God like that? I just can’t believe it !
"ways of God are impenetrable". Thank you to prevent me, I will avoid to venture in ways of this God. All the specialists in communication will tell to you that if you want to transmit a message it is necessary to be clear. More the message is complicated or illuminated (promises includes), and more there are "whales under rock" or incompetence.
God knows that we are not very smart, but he feels like very intelligent to complicate his message: ok we have to love each other, which is not very easy actually and not really necessary "respect each others" would have been enough! To make so that we respect him? AT LEAST !
Can you get somebody’s love by fear? By respect maybe … by fear … Sorry I doubt! It’s all about insane psychological handling, in totally contradiction with Holy Ghost.
Can you force somebody to love somebody else ? It’s a dictator strategy! Or more simply marketing: create a need to obtain the power; here by fear.
Since we are kids they’ve put this God in our heads! An AVENGER God, everything but fair? "Which makes come the punishment" he says ! - We are victims of his pride? it d oesn't match together (Means, with my idea of real powerful and smart God. This is the description of Satan also NO! Maybe they’re one and only person?
Like my son says : This God is a kind of sneaky! What’s next?
Did God created us just to be loved and honoured by us? In knowing that there’s actually nothing to prove his existence perhaps it is a deliberated choice, and our first duty should be to respect everybody’s life at least ...
My son’s girlfriend found this in “L’enchanteur” from Barjavel
"he was the Unic, he occupied the totality of the space and time, he had created. In spite of that, had well tolerated the other gods, they did not obstruct it, they were scattered, tiny, they were not different primarily from him, they were its own reflection by the mirrors of the life. But an army of priest and monks intolerant raked on his behalf the campaigns, proclaiming he was a jealous god, which was false, on his level one can be neither jealous, neither avenger, nor dispenser of justice. Justice is made by itself in the alive hearts"
That remains coherent … An acceptable assumption …
Which kind of relationship are we supposed to have with GOD? It is interesting to wonder why GOD would need humans to feel good (being honoured, and loved). For us 2 assumptions (lots more possible)
1) To satisfy his pride? (It’s a sin of pride!)
for an example, it’s an example … !!! So why did he gave us the free will in this case if we don’t have any choice? … And why did he created us in is image?
If we only consider Adam and Eve’s example, in knowing that we only use 5 % of our intellectual original faculties and are limited to 120 years of live. If Adam and Eve 100 % perfect, at I do not know which age, while living in a paradise failed ; In knowing that they were intimate with God himself and talked with him? How could we resist to sin and not doubt? Under the conditions that we are living our relationship with God ? !!! (it cannot be more blur and more contradictory?) (OBVIOUS INCOHERENCE/INJUSTICE/ERROR OF JUDGMENT/LACK OF SENS OF MEASUREMENT? Gizz where is our perfect GOD?
And during the years that ADAM and EVE had a common life in
