The Morality Of The Christian God Of The Bible

So you chose to be combative even when we agree? :doh

The idea that "god/jehovah" would pre-select 144,000 is obscenely laughable.

Pulling crap like that out of one's own rectum, and then getting people to buy into it, is quite impressive though.

Jehovah God's government is a real government, much like our government today...it takes a body of people to run it, with Jesus being the King...it was the same with the Israelites...it will be the same in Jesus' kingdom....

"And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.” Revelation 5:9,10

/// Jesus doesnt' 'replace' God, he is God /// If, indeed, Jesus is God, why did he call out to his Father ( per biblical scripture ), and ask his Father why he had forsaken him ( the Father's son ) ? This clearly indicates the two are separate entities..I.E. One is the Father, one is the Son of the Father....

Yeah, they gloss right over that fact...

How did you come to that conclusion ? Is there a scripture that supports your supposition ? If, so, please present it. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone make this claim.

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?"

"They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture."

I'm not surprised that you've not heard this, your lack of theology comes from places like this. He's quoting Psalm 22. Practically everybody knows this except you.

Obviously you don't, either...

Unwilling to. There's a difference.

From my perspective, no there is not. You make statements you can't support. In fact, you make statements I know are wrong.

The 'Christian God', according to the mainstream Christians includes having Jesus as part of trinity, 'a divine godhood', and part of God. That is in direct violation of every principle of Judaism (and Islam).

Yes, I know, that great Christian scholar, Ramoss, who holds forth in a dusty corner of the internet. You told me how great you were when we first met. I am unconvinced.

It wasn't a "prophecy"; it was just a song sung to a pre-existing anciently revered melody.

Okay, then post something from the JW website. That's what passes for knowledge in your world, anyway.

Yes, but according to the Christian Greek Scriptures, it was in fulfillment of David's words...

My God, my God: In calling out to his heavenly Father, acknowledging him as his God, Jesus fulfilled Ps 22:1. Jesus’ cry of agony may have brought to his listeners’ minds the many things prophesied about him in the rest of Ps 22​—that he would be mocked, derided, and attacked in his hands and feet and that his garments would be divided by lot.​—Ps 22:6-8, 16, 18.

I'm still trying to figure out precisely what is so debatable about Psalm 22.

Only when a comment is too ridiculous for words...lol...arguing accomplishes nothing...
