Re: does god deserve to be worshiped
Look at what the worship of your god has done to you. So, to answer your question, No! MAGSolo's god does not deserve to be worshipped.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

Are we to understand you've finally acknowledge His existence? Otherwise what possible purpose could you have for even contemplating such a silly question? (other than the obvious reasons that is).MAGSolo wrote:and if so, why

Re: does god deserve to be worshiped
what about your God, what has he done to make him worthy of worship? If you were trying to convince someone that your God deserved to be worshiped, what would you say? He came to Earth and suffered on the cross and died for our sins? Can you prove that any of that happened?Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:Look at what the worship of your god has done to you.

I appreciate that you have returned, snorider/MAGSolo. Please, try to post intelligent questions in the future. Is that too much to ask?MAGSolo wrote: what about your God, what has he done to make him worthy of worship?

Re: does god deserve to be worshiped
Well ive always been open to the possibility that there is a God, my stance has just been that if he exists, he isnt a god that deserves to be worshipped.Byblos wrote:Are we to understand you've finally acknowledge His existence?

Re: does god deserve to be worshiped
I have meet someone who says if they are mistaken and it turns out God does exist then God deserves to be punched and they will gladly deliver the punch if they ever happen to meet God. And it really did seem to come from the heart.
I think it's one you've really got to make your own mind up on, what does God deserve and if it's not worship what is it? Love, respect, mocking, fear, devotion, honesty, good behaviour, a punch......you take your pick and place your bet.

Does God deserve to be worshiped?
Sounds like a presumptive question along the line of "Are you still beating your wife?"
Do you deserve to be God's judge? Why?

Re: does god deserve to be worshiped
I believe that any God that has the power to prevent widespread evil and suffering and does not do so does not deserve to be praised or worshiped.1over137 wrote:Why He does not deserve to be worshipped, Magsolo?

Re: does god deserve to be worshiped
That must be why you didn't answer it.
Now, do you have anything of any seriousness or depth to say or is this sophomoric chatter all you have?
Please check the board purpose and discussion guidelines and if you find yourself unable to stick with them, then please move on. If you are able, then please stick with them and muster some common courtesy and respect and continue.

You are a poor steward for Christ my friend. You cant even answer a very simple, basic, and yet fundamental question regarding your beliefs. What light do you think that casts your beliefs in.Canuckster1127 wrote:That must be why you didn't answer it.
