JayRob you can continue to say all the negatives about God all you want.....it's will not change my perspective or others.
I'm not going to judge your opinion because I can't. I have not lived in your shoes that assisted in forming your opinion. So please understand that this goes both ways.... In my studying of the Bible it teaches love even to none believers.... Like I said I'm not a Bible beater but I believe. I will continue to pray for you.
Negatives about god? I was quoting actual words from the bible so how am I saying something negative? It's like you're criticizing me for quoting the bible. How logical is that?
The Israelites were told in several cases to kill every man, woman, child, baby and women who weren't virgins. Numbers 31:17-18. That's not love to me.
The Israelite fathers were given permission to sell their daughters to her rapist for a few shekels. On top of that, the daughter HAD to marry him and could not divorce her rapist. Deut. 22:28. That's not love is it?
Homosexuals were commanded to be put to death. Leviticus 20:13. Is that showing love, to command the death of a human being simply because of his/her sexual preference? Imagine if this was one of our laws today.
If you're going to live by the ENTIRE bible, you're bound by that same book to accept and own ALL of it, not just the parts that sound sweet.
As far as praying for a person, that's your prerogative.
