Part I
So it IS possible that God might call someone to do something different than you are called to do? Is it possible that God might call someone to do something that you don't understand? Something that YOU don't agree with? Something that YOU think is evil? Or do you know so much about God and His laws that you can judge the works of all people and say whether they are correct?
So, which is it? In your last two posts you have contradicted yourself.
If it was already decided why did they have council? The truth is that there were terrible battles during the discussions about what was and wasn't to be put into the "official" version of the Bible. A good example of that is the Codex Sinaiticus which is the oldest current complete copy of the Old and New Testament, it's quite different from what we have now as the "official" version. A good book on this subject is THE SECRETS OF MT. SINAI (unfortunately out of print and hard to find) but you can go on Amazon and find books about the Codex.
Where do you get these ideas?
Wow, you really must have an interesting library.
I have been living my life by my lights since the age of differentiation, around 8-9 years old in my case.
Is it important to help pass laws to take away their right to choose even though they are hurting no one?
He did, He had Paul say it in the Bible and He protected that statement of His wish for you all down through history so that you would get it now and heed His desire. It's right there in the Bible.
The issue under discussion at this point was not your reason for giving it to him, but rather that you said he would then be rich after you had given him all your things--then you said you didn't have enough to be considered rich despite your previous claim. Get your story straight.
I know you think so, but God told me you were wrong, so before you drive off the cliff it's up to me to help you by telling you that you are deluded.
No, Jesus hoped that you would do it voluntarily, but you need to remember that Jesus also said that you have to obey or you go to Hell (I'm paraphrasing here for clarity). If the threat of eternal damnation is not "force" then I don't know what is. You HAVE to obey or God will damn you, that's obviously force as much as gun to your head. Therefore, Jesus advocated socialism--government force or going-to-Hell force.
It's wonderful how you can justify anything with the Bible, from the Inquistion to the amassing of great wealth at the expense of your fellows. I love it.
