Your quotes don't counter-argue! It says nowhere in the Bible that we are God's PROPERTY! In fact it says just the opposite. Saying that our bodies are temples of God does not mean we are His PROPERTY, it means that He gave us these Earthly bodies and His Spirit can dwell within them and we should t...

The question for me would be whether it's dishonouring our bodies as temples of God. I personally see it as defacing God's property, or vandelizing. To say we as God's children are His property is completely un-Biblical. God created us, He created our brains, He created our eyes, He created our bod...

Kurieuo - I am choosing to rather than just say "I disagree with you" to my friend to find a reason why. I HAD never thought of the Flood as murder, so I couldn't actually put into words why I believed it wasn't. A bit of background: I did not grow up Christian, I grew up fake Catholic bec...

A friend of mine has really helped me with this issue, she's a doctoral student in biblical studies, concentration in New Testament and Early Christian Origins at Harvard. Here's what she has said: This type of understanding that people are just the property of God is really reflective of a modern c...

Kurieuo - nice to see a fellow Aussie :) I have many problems with the article you posted. It's just not Biblical. In the Bible, it refers to out relationship with Christ as one of an intimate friendship, like a marraige. To quote for the link: "Can God destroy God's property? The answer seems ...

Question about whether God murdered

I am a Believer. I constantly get asked questions by seeking friends and this one is tough: When God caused the Flood, wasn't that murder? Murder is the deliberate, premeditated killing (please don't go changing this to unjustified, premeditated killing....). Whether justified or not (and He was sur...
