How could you know what was perfect rule, you are a sinner. You are either a child of God or a child of the devil. There are no fence sitters. Which are you?Baphomet said:In the Bible , it states that God's rule is perfect, what if those rules include killing innocent , slavery , etc?

HolyCraving said:Its hard to comment on this you have to clarify more do you mean to get his plan through or do you mean how you should follow your life they are to different things....
If you read most of the old testament god has used someone to kill or lie or something to carry out his plan that doesnt mean you should go out and to that though
Tamar in genesis is a perfect example
as for a life you should lead read most of gospel in the new testament aka mimic jesus he didnt kill or do anything your thinking of.
if your talking about what i think you are the perfect rule would be with a life with peace and mimicing the life of jesus.

Gabbylittleangel said:There is none more innocent than Jesus Christ, His Son. God's rule was that Jesus Christ would pay the price for our sin. God's plan was perfect.
Slavery? Jesus came to set the captives free. The children of Israel went into slavery as a result of selling their brother Joseph.
To address all of the other occurrences when God's people found themselves in some sort of captivity, would take a really deep study, that would ultimately show that it was a result of sin and rebellion against God.
To ask if God's rule is perfect, is basically the same as asking if God is perfect. The answer is yes, God is perfect. Fallen man however, is fickle, sinful, arrogant, and self-righteous.
Your position manifests your need of a Saviour. Perhaps you will repent of your "sinful, arrogant" ways and turn to God Almighty so that you can believe the truth that the Holy Spirit is showing you in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.Baphomet said:I agree that humans are sinful , arrogant creatures , but I am still not sure that God's rule is perfect

Gabbylittleangel said:You must have some specific area in mind. Usually when someone believes God is wrong, it is because His ways are so complex, His knowledge and wisdom so vast, that it can not be comprehended.
Okay, I will cut to the chase, Bap.
In what way do you believe that you are smarter than God?
If you are not smarter than God, then why should anyone believe you when you say that God's rule is not perfect?Baphomet said:whoa , I never said I was smarter than "God" , I just stated that I believe that "God's" rule is not perfect
Baphomet said:whoa , I never said I was smarter than "God" , I just stated that I believe that "God's" rule is not perfect

cybershark5886 said:Well before we really dig into this lets test your belief in God with fire by presenting you with the biggest stumbling block of all to most people: God's Sovereignty.
Lesson #1 from God's Sovereignty: No man or woman is innocent before the eyes of Lord of their own accord. No one is good except the Lord alone (Mark 10:18). God alone posesses that quality and distributes it as he may (wills), and upon whomever he wills in his mercy.
What say you to that?
P.S. Once you answer this we will be prepared to discuss the next point at hand.
Does God allow the killing of the righteous?Baphomet said:I agree that no man or woman is innocent , but God's rule of killing and slavery is not perfect , and before anyone says it , verses like that appear in the new testament too
Why would you wait until after you die to ask him forgiveness for your sins?Baphomet said:simple , I would tell him that even though I have sinned(which to be honest , every does)I do feel regret for the sins I have committed , and I would ask God for forgiveness again .
