(27-12-2024, 01:20 AM)S I M T A N Wrote: As Paul wrote, 'Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him' (Rom 5:9) The unbeliever who has rejected or simply neglected God's offer of salvation through Christ first of all callously dismissed God's desire for a relationship. He's also 'trampled underfoot the Son of God.' (the phrase means to treat as worthless) 'Not believing the right things about Jesus' isn't some minor offence but is tantamount to rejecting and declaring Christ's death to be worthless.
I don't believe Jesus is God and I cannot be blamed for it because it is illogical and irrational to believe a man who was walking about in downtown Jerusalem, who ate food and defecated was God. Jesus himself said many things that tell me he is not God, like John 17:3, Luke 18:19, John 10:29, or John 14:28. I can give you a long list of Jesus's teachings that tell me Jesus is not God.
So, it is a great injustice to punish me for not believing Jesus is God when the Bible confirms for me that he is NOT God. There is no justice system we know that would do such an injustice yet you want me to believe God would.
