JCC Legal status of God

Hey the people of Israel knew what the result would be for the acts and disregard of the established Law, their blood was on their own hands. I also think that the way the community executed the punishment served as an example of the pain that the Creator must feel having to essentially do the same. Know what i mean? Like say how much it would hurt for me to have to stone my brother for killing his wife or something how much more so for the Person who knew him when he was developing in his mother and saw his every moment knew how many hairs were on his head and knew and loved the person he had the potential and desire to be. And just my opinion.

 

It's hilarious how you think you can justify those barbaric acts.

 

True, also Christianity originally was politically neutral and declared allegiance only to their Creator and his rulership. Even denying military obligations imposed by earthly governments (mainly Rome seeing as im refering to the first century) or any other laws the were in contradiction to their faith. Even to the point of death.

 

Okaaay anyways it was a long time ago and for me i think it served a purpose. A lesson learned for the human family

 

I really came to this forum hoping to talk about Star Wars haha

 

I can't stop being an alcoholic but that doesn't mean i can't stop drinking (which i have, been sober for a little while now just to clarify) i guess that's not the same thing but i thought maybe it was similar.

 

Alright can we talk about the legal status of God now?

 

I'm still slightly confused as to what that's supposed to mean. :I

 

The cool thing about inventing an imaginary god is that you can assign whatever qualities you want to it. And since this god is imaginary, you can also disguise any horrible act you want as "god's law." After all, this god can't exactly contradict you, can it?

I don't think there is a provision in any legal system where imaginary characters can be held accountable for real-world actions.

 

I was comparing it the sexual orientation aspect, in my mind it relates since desire and mental/emotional state doesn't have to designate course of action. I did admit they are different situations but i feel like there can be similarities if you choose to view it that was. I'm confused about your independent, self- sufficient woman comment. My name is Isaac.

 

I believe the legal status of God is quite obvious, at least the Christian God. He's dead. He was subject to all the laws humans were subject to and he was arrested, tried, convicted & executed while on the earth as Jesus Christ. The courts not being into this whole resurrection thing, God should be considered dead until such time as He presents himself before a current legal body with definitive proof of his identity to see that legal status reversed. Even then, it's not open and shut; in 2013, an Ohio man was declared to still be legally dead by a judge despite the fact that he was alive and present in the courtroom. Given God's basically hermetic tendencies, the legal cases He would conceivably open Himself too should He appear in court, the very tricky ins & outs of the legal systems and the fact that the verdict of death has stood legally uncontested for two thousand years, it seems that God's legal status will remain "deceased" for the foreseeable future.

That was one brilliant answer, Rogue. I just fear not all Christians agree with you.

 

Uhm is that an acronym?

 

"Black Sabbath". Such crude satanism.

 

Why did the kids your total **** of a god gave fatal illnesses to do?

 

Children's cancer is a part of god's plan. A cruel, sadistic plan. Which looks remarkably similar to there being no god and no plan at all.

 

I'm sure it would hurt you and your deity to have to stone your brother to death, but I'm rather certain the brother would be more hurt by it.

Please don't try to compare the suffering of the killer to that of being killed. It reeks of a certain lack of empathy that I despise.

 

The difference between killing and murder is just a legal fiction. You can have a righteous killing without having regard to religious principles and it will still be murder. For example I would consider killing a pedophile as righteous but I would still go to jail for murder. God and religion are irrelevant to the distinction. In fact god and religion are irrelevant to pretty much everything. That is why god has the same legal status as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
