Does it make you angrier that, even as you despise Him, he calls you to repent and believe, because he loves you and has done everything necessary to forgive and save you to eternal life?

I'm hard-pressed to think of a headline I wouldn't see from Rolling Stone, after some of the massive factual retractions they've had to do over the years when political controversy was involved.

On one hand, I have your maker's word for what you think.
On the other hand, I have your word for what you think.
I tend to rely on the owner's manual.
What I don't know is if you hate him because he tells you that you've done wrong, or if you hate him because he isn't giving you something.

But I'll let you in on a secret.
I know that you believe in God, and that you hate Him, even though all your sins haven't brought you the happiness they promised (yeah, yeah, I've heard the loud denials. I don't buy them.)
But He still loves you anyway, in face of your scorn, and welcomes you to HIm

Since your statement is devoid of any argumentation or facts, you have your denial and you can do whatever you want with it.
But please, wash your hands afterwards.
I will continue to be bound by the evidentiary rules of epistemology as I have learned them, and they only bolster my faith in Christ.

Because Jesus has not just paid the full penalty of death that we have deserved for how we hate God and fail to love our neighbor, but Jesus then rose from the dead, we can have forgiveness and eternal life if we accept his invitation: Repent and Believe for the Kingdom of Heaven is very near!

They certainly haven't heard that Jesus Christ, the true Son of God, loved them when they hated Him, and loved them so much that the suffering, torture, shame, and death on a cross was a small price to pay to secure our ransom from death and evil, and to have us with him, beloved for eternity.

What many people haven't heard is that, fully knowing that the people fail, that they do wrong (sin), and that they enjoy doing so despite the suffering and death that sin brings with it...
They haven't lately heard that God loved them so much he gave his only begotten son to pay their penalty.

You're assuming your conclusion.
The Christian New Testament surpasses all other works of anitquity in terms of evidentiary standards of history.
Multiple sources
External corroboration
The Principle of Embarassment
MSS closer to the Events than any other record by orders of magnitude, etc.

Jesus claimed to be God, prophecied his death
then died exactly that way
and rose from the dead
and we have 5 eyewitness accounts of that fact within the first generation of the event that I can name without effort that left written records later collected in the Bible
Matthew
Peter
John
Paul
James

I'm always comforted by the fact that everyone is equal at the foot of the cross.
We all sin.
The wages of my sin is death.
But Jesus, who was innocent and perfect, took my guilt on himself and paid the just price that I had earned.
Then also defeated death on my behalf.
It's an open party, man.

I don't actually think you can produce any evidence that you're angry at Vishnu and Thor.

I can also assure you that, though I have to respect my God's warning that liars are condemned to hell, that is also a sin that God paid the full price for on Christ's cross.

I can list the number of states where they are unable to have equal access to health care, yes, since the fact-free ban on theraputic support has been militantly inflicted on them.

I wasn't aware that you had ever been to the farm house my mom grew up in, that you know it better than me.
But I have been away from majority liberal crowds since I completed my degree.
In your experience, does swearing at reality rewrite it often, or seldom?
April 25, 2025 at 5:01 PM
Well, you can't be angry at ME, since we've never met. So, I have to assume this is just anger at God.
The good news is that Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners, still his enemies. You're in the perfect position to hear that God has done all that is needed to forgive us and save us.

Cherie... how many people declare their gender to you and you feel entitled to call them a charlatan?
That's about as tolerant as a Maga-hat wearing man shouting "Two genders" at a pride parade.
But thank you for proving my point.
