You apparently confuse theory with fact!

I am not religious either. I think that is why God talks to me.

God loves me. He wants my love - He does not “need” it.

I don’t take your word for anything. You are just a man.

Jeremiah 17:9 (King James Version)

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

The overall tone of the article is to demean and to ridicule a belief system of some 13 million people. (There approximately that many Jews in the world.) I suppose it would it be OK to compare their concept of God to an offensive caricature from a comic book. But wait, the author might have to get a strongly worded letter from B’nai B’rith or the ADL, which would be embarrassing.

Bigotry takes on a lot of forms. Smug disrespect is one of them. This article will be used to provide intellectual justification for intolerance.

Then God is wrong. I speak from knowledge. He loves you, but He needs your love too!

So you are saying that your knowledge is superior to God's knowledge?

I agree. Men Lie.

“or in the town’s square”

I know Christians who try to get the truth to Mormons in Utah. The free exchange of ideas gets your house shot at and makes it difficult for you to even rent a home. The free exchange of ideas is not a virtue in Utah.

So you cannot provide any specific scriptures which talk about God’s needs. I didn’t think so.

Only a Mormon would believe there are 13 million people who believe Mormonism.

There most certainly are NOT. The LDS Church might have that many on there rolls, but at least half that number are missing, inactive, already dead or too young to understand. The 13 million number is NOT the number who believe in Mormonism.

LNo. I am saying that God needs us. He needs our love. He needs us. It explains EVERYTHING. Show love. Do love.

I live in Utah. They certainly do NOT love me - to them I am an apostate.

“I could find scripture, but God lives with me.” Scripture is a poor translation.

Try once to feel love, not lust or some recprical arrangement. Do good because good is good.

Dude, I think it’s time to put this guy in the “troll” category and just leave him be. Trying to reason with him is futile. I don’t think he’ll last long of FR anyway. I’m surprised he’s made it since December.

Yet you clearly stated Then God is wrong. I speak from knowledge. Then perhaps you need to retract that statement and start all over again.

Imagine for a moment that you have met someone with a personal relationship with God. The real God.

Be nice. Suspend anger.

LOL Whatever, fella. Whenever someone claims that scripture says something but cannot produce a single scripture to support their claim, it's pretty clear they aren't to be taken seriously.

Have a nice day.
