The Christian God

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,

“Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers.”

29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

None of these answer the questions

25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood--to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--

But and does sin matter to something that cannot conceivably be harmed?

Morality is an absolute truth. It applies to God and Man Alike, but for man, it is doing the will of the Father.

God is both moral and just. Because He is Just, humans should pay for their crimes against him. However, due to his Love, he has sacrificed his Son in their place.

If you pay close attention to the message, you find an underlying idealistic brilliance.

I have a personal understanding of why God does what he does, but I will not go into that now.

Wouldn't the concept of justice come from God, though?

Reality is God's way of perfecting himself in the sphere of becoming/relativity.

The good isn't a set of chores you're given by God but God himself as he is realized in time.

Laws and social mores are nothing but a formalization of this abstract, universal Good. All descriptions and philosophizing about the Good are ultimately only secondary to its being lived.

That's a decidedly nonchristian interpretation

not really. god is love, and our only task on this earth is to love. everything else is just a way of getting there.

hell isn't the spanking you get for being bad, it's just cause and effect: do shitty things -> shitty mind, body, and soul. the kingdom of god is within you and all that (or not)

>>2958831
If God is all-powerful, and Hell serves as a prison for Satan where he is tortured like any other damned soul, why is it that the Devil is capable of influencing the minds of men beyond Hell's boundaries?

why is there something and not nothing?

motivation as we experience it is necessarily tied to the material word. the equivalent thing for god is not necessarily even understandable at all in our state of being. you don't know why there is something and not nothing and in the same way you also don't know the specifics.

>>2960930
What part of that is headcanon?
