heh, if we say all organized religion are flawed (which, for me, is true) then which religion should belive, our own? [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]...which of course would be flawed too.

It's called the "inspired word of God".

The voice of God is like a whisper. A motivation. A placement of thoughts.

As far as responding to "flaws in interpretation", did you not answer your own question when you cited the many denominations?

Besides, by declaring something a flawed interpretation, you are implying you have knowledge of the original intent. How are you achieving this?

yes when man is in greatest need of god or a miracle we are faster and faster in our goal to destroying the earth. god is quick to observe and speak to man when he is not in need but in our greatest need hes abandoned us. is this gods way of playing a cruel trick on man? to see how much man can overstep his boundries? what with cloning and nuclear bombing. what is it going to take for god to come out and tell man he has overstepped and is time to fall back and realize what he is doing?

What makes you think people would listen? We killed him when he landed here last time....

Regardless, for those who want to hear, he makes the message pretty loud and clear. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're putting words into my mouth. I said what makes you think people would listen if they haven't already?

He's already destroyed humanity once, he's already existed on earth as a human, already come back from the dead, already proclaimed grace a way around religious law/karma. Look at the flak Christians when they attempt to share the joy of Gods love for the planet! Many just don't want to hear. Why would things be any different?

God's previous attempts didn't fail, those that would hear have or will hear, those that would not have or will not hear.
