That is not what Jesus says.brother bob wrote:Youkrst, why would I need to sick God on him? Many men are wrong about so much about God. That doesn't mean they need to be put back in their place.
Two you forget that there was THREE options to my prayer to God. YOu want to focus only the second one.
Gnostic quote "Here I am agreeing with you that God did make us all in his image and that is why we should all be judged the same and you are against your own ideas.
Just because we are made in his image does not equate to a requirement that we should all be judged the same???
I had three children, all made in my image, and I don't judge them the same. Just because we have some of the same tendencies and capabilities does not mean we all get the same judgment.
Put it on the level of life here on earth. Do you expect that all mankind should be judged the same for crimes committed against society? Should everybody get the same sentence? Don't give me that mankind and God judge differently. Because if your theory is right. Mankind should demand equal sentences for any guilty person. You postulated that mankind will all get the same sentence before and all might God. That is preposterous. All men are not equal!
Gnostic quote "If God created man in his image, why don't we value ourselves as being equal at all times. Rarely is this the case."
Why would a mere creature value themselves as being equal with the Creator - God? That is insanity.
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
You have a God out there somewhere while Jesus says that the only God you can ever know is within yourself.
"Just because we are made in his image does not equate to a requirement that we should all be judged the same???"
If you create souls the same and in your image, why would you judge some by a different standard?
You have also tried to have the same rules for men who can hurt each other as for souls who cannot hurt each other.
Of course we will have different standards here. We have to for protection. That does not apply to heaven where we do not need protection.
Focus on what you wish to discuss.
