It is my understanding that God cannot live beside sin, therefore the very monent there was dissension amongst the angels, He had to get them the heck out of there. Thus Evil on earth and in (our "limited" concept of) heaven was "born"
God cannot live beside sin(sin that he invented). There was dissension causing him to "get them the heck out of there"...but he allowed them to influence his other creation on earth? What kind of powerful God would allow that? If he can't live beside sin and he's all powerful, just wipe em out. No fuss, no muss.
God doesn't expect loyalty, He deserves it though. Your ass is His.
Contradiction. He doesn't expect loyalty but your ass is his. Doesn't that mean do what I say or else? Doesn't that expect loyalty, whether from the heart or not?
I feel like I am trying to defend a new religion or something.
LOL, yea you're kinda outnumbered. It's not that it's a new religion, it's just religion. Religion has taken a book that has some mytholocigal stories in it and pushed it off on people as a history book. That's hard to defend any way you look at it.
