Hi sweetie and
to our Godly forum! it would be really neat if you could find your way to the
Introduction Forum and introduce yourself so we can get to know you a little better!

I don't agree with your statement that people are trash. You will never convince me to speak of my fellow man like that.

That is very nice of you, honey!
Quote:
1. I found some people in church to be hypocrites. ( again not all)
|
Do you have an example, or is this just an empty accusation thrown in the air?
Quote:
2. You give money to a church that doesn't let anybody worship there.
|
Honey, all True Christians™ are welcome in our church! We just don't want any God-mocking liars and thieves and atheists in our midst!
Quote:
3. I believed God created everyone, knew what they were going to do before they did it. (God sees everything, and is all knowing right). Yet people exclude gays, lesbians, and in some cases black people. Yes I have seen this.
|
Of course God created all people, and He knows how we are going to end up.
Psalm 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Why do you think He created Hell? To stay empty? No, He intentionally leads people to damnation:
Ezekiel 20-25-26
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.
You see? That's how we know that He is the Lord! If He didn't mislead people and send them to Hell, we wouldn't have known this!
Quote:
4. I don't think that I could ever judge someone even if I was saved, because I am not perfect and will not judge others.
|
Well, you see, God wants us to judge others:
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Quote:
1. Do you follow the Old Testament and the New Testament or just the New Testament and what is your reasoning if you do not?
|
Both, of course!
Quote:
2. What was the name of Lot's wife? It doesn't say just says she looks back and turns into a pillar salt.
|
You just answered your own question. Of course her name is not mentioned, it's because she wasn't important. Is the name of any Adam and Eve's daughter mentioned? Of course not! Does that mean that Seth had sex with his mom to reproduce humanity? Not (hopefully)!
Quote:
3. Why do most people only focus on the hate and sins of the bible? They make God out to be this evil person, that will smite you all the time.
|
Because that's the message of the Bible, dear.

4. I am with some of the people on the dinosaur perspective it says every animal not just some. What is your explanation?
|
I'm afraid I do not follow: dinosaur perspective on what? Why would I care what was dinosaur perspective on anything, anyway?
I hope that was helpful, sweetie.
