Did your father beat you because he loved you? Do you love him for it?

To repeat myself again.

We...are...not...talking...about...your...mom.

We...are...talking...about...the...god...of...the...bible.

See?

My father beat us because he was a raging alcoholic with mental illness.

I forgave him years ago because I knew he was sick, and not just from the alcohol.My brother never could forgive and I never judged him for it. I couldn't blame him really.

Some of the hardest things I've gone through in life have turned out to be life lessons that served me well. And some of them didn't seem to serve a purpose except to torture me.

Oh...

Then nope, God always protects me from harm, it's one of his promises.

It helps me to better understand the asinine posts you make in other threads.

Please read the link above and then explain how the abuse of your father is any different than the abuse of the god of the bible. Thanks.

Na, can't pin that on Dad (not the dad your referencing). That just comes naturally. Sorry your thread didn't go the right way.

It's not, my father is an asshole so God was most likely using my grandfather to do his dirty work. I think people get punished even before they do some major fuck ups since there is no timing with God.

He did it because he is an asshole and i dont speak to him. The concept of god is just fear mongering. I do not need fear to be a decent human.

There is much more to it than that, but good for you!

My father beat me because he was an immature, drug-addled asshole, and no, I don't love him for it. I love him because he is my dad.

In that case, I deserve anything He does to me or for me, because He is never wrong.

The perfect victim.

God is supposedly omnipotent, all powerful, all knowing. that means he knew everything before he created. that means everything is in his plans... everything that happens was already in his script before he created.

Lol. No different than if a tornado were to sweep you up and dash you to the ground. What could you do about it? Nothing! You would have to just accept it for what it is.

Satan thought Job was the perfect victim too. Guess what? That plan didn't work out the way he wanted it to did it?

Never got beaten by my father. But I thank him for giving me best lessons on the rule of :for every action there is result.,.followed by reaction.,.
After i grew up. . .I realised that.,. Thanks to my parents. . . Life will have hard time to beat me.

OP doesn't understand how the supernatural world works. Most of us don't but I'm certainly not going to go against it!

Do about it? Know the truth.

Why would your "god" let Job be tortured in such a way? Just to prove Satan wrong? A bet? Just an egotistical challenge? With Job and his family as the victim?

What is wrong with you? Think!

It is called faith OP. You either have it or you don't.

Romans 1:17-32
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

I think I have said enough.

Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Faith is just another word for ignorance. Ignorance of who and what you really are as a human being.

You would rather stay ignorant and not know the truth.

Fine, then move on.

I got so pissed one time I actually gave my wife a swat. Later that night she rode me like a bucking bronco.

Moms do most of the childhood beatings.
Dad's away at work.

Nobody wants to admit their psycho-mom beat them?

Liberals. Sheesh.

Read the fucking thread before posting.

Oh, for 'god's' sake you need some help

thread was stupid. Rather talk about moms.

I bet you would. Talk about anything, but what is important.

Ha,ha. Not from you I don't.

(waves hand)

This is not the thread you're looking for...move along.

The God of the bible demanded child sacrifice.

But, was that a new thing or was it common?

Hehe you all know it was common, so, Abraham was obying the norms of the day.

Hmm, how does Jesus work, as a Father? They made him a boy sacrifice in Roman light when he left the world scene, so, we don't get to see him as a man, just a dead little boy.

But I don't think he died, I don't need his sacrifice. I do not need any man to die for me. For me, Jesus was a father, and that's just the true scandal of history.

You're just trying to demonize fathers. You just might be a shill.
