Resolved: YHWH should not be worshipped

As Pro has opted to not respond to my counter until the last round and then has gone back into the same form of arguments where we ignore the narrative explanation from Scripture for each of his arguments. I will show you how through basic hermeneutics, using the narrative explanation of the stories, and understanding manners and customs from Biblical times will put each of these stories in their proper perspective. The funny part is, at least on my end, the arguments Pro uses for not following God when looked at in context is the very thing that stirred the heart of Job, and stirs the hearts of millions to follow the God of the Bible. As we see Pro’s uninformed argument for God being jealous let us look at what the word actually means in the original language. (1) As we have a closer look the word used for God’s Jealousy it means zeal or passion and He is deeply committed to His relationship with us. This is one of the biggest reasons any Christian follows YWHW because He sent His only Son to die for us. The Bible is clear when it says we love God because He first loved us. I would like to elaborate more, but as we can see Pro has given me one sentence arguments without any premises to go with them and has drawn false conclusions from partial data. Next we will take a look at Job. As we can see again Pro has given me a conclusion without any weight behind it as well as has ignored the narrative explanation again. The book of Job does not end with a propositional answer it ends with an experiential one. It is the presence of God that He encountered that enable him to go beyond just what he knew to actually living it out from what he learned of who this great God is. He then was able to follow God on the bases of what did know for the things he didn't know. The actual conclusion of Job in context refutes your entire argument and the entire purpose of Job situation brought HIMSELF to place where he could follow God with some things being misunderstood as I clearly stated in R1 and you have chosen to not refute until later. There are four different clear revelations of who God is to Job in this book as God encountered him. For the sake of time I will not elaborate on all but here is a list of the four found in the book of Job. (2) 1. God is revealed as Creator Designer2. He is the Revealer Comforter3. He is the Mediator Savior4. He is the Strengthen RestorerI will Only focus on the Creator aspect as you have brought it up in other arguments in R2. God as Creator which you have so graciously given me without need of proof in the rules is such an amazing thing. I will look at one point and show you even as simply a Creator how marvelous and full of wonder and wisdom must this God be. If you take all of the constants and the contingencies of the early picoseconds of creation are so many and they demanded such precision and fine tuning that if you were to study them they would blow your mind. I will focus on one and show the power and majesty of our great God. When you look at the expansion and contraction forces in the early picoseconds of the formation of the universe they had to be so precise that it would be like taking aim at a one inch square from the other end of the know universe 20 billion light years away and hitting it bulls eye. The margin of error was so small, so minuscule what this God of infinite wisdom had done when He created the universe by merely speaking was so amazing o the majesty o the splendor of our God. We have lost the amazement with creation due to naturalist shoving lies down our throats. If God did nothing but create this universe He would be worth following for the mere sake of His wisdom. But that is not the case He sent His Son to die for us and is full of love and compassion towards us. Which Job proclaimed in his book that God is gracious and merciful to man. As I said Job ends with and experience with God which many times is not preached in Church. I was a homeless, meth addict who had been to treatment 6 times, mental institute 6 times, in and out of jail, disowned by my family, lost and broken and about to commit suicide when I met the God of the Bible. I didn't grow up in the Church my family is mostly not just none Christians, but God haters. I met this God and the day I gave my life to Him I never used meth again, He has restored my relationships with my kids, my parents, I am married now , I have a house, a job, and a purpose in this world. So no amount of Scriptures out of context or empty philosophies will ever convince me that the God of the Bible is somehow evil when He died for me and set me free. No amount of hate or persecution from the supposed intellectuals making fun of my belief will ever stop my faith. The Bible says the message of the gospel is foolish to those who are perishing, but it is power to those who believe. The God of the Bible has changed my life for the better just like Job and I rejoice in my suffering and years of addiction because I found life everlasting in the presence of the God who died for me. The God who rose again and as Job said " I know my redeemer lives. (Job 19:25)Now lets look at the God putting Himself first issue. God does put Himself first because He is a God of love and His decisions for you and I are the best. The problem with your argument is the verse Pro used and the assumptive language behind it. It appears Jesus does not want this man to help his family and that is not the case. This is where manners and customs of the Bible comes in. (3) As we see the Jews took Scriptural teachings and twisted it and the heart behind what Jesus said was to fix doctrinal error. The way it appears in Scripture this man’s father was already dead and the man was practicing the false second burial. The story also shows the danger of having halfway in and halfway out believers. As we see in our society lukewarm, Bible twisting religious folks are one of the biggest reasons people say they don’t want to follow God, and not because of anything God has done Himself. In conclusion we see a God of passion and zeal for you and I. So full of love and grace that He will do whatever it takes to be in a relationship with us, even if it means dying on a cross for OUR sins. As many accuse God of evil when the most terrifying thing about Him is that He is good we are not which I will address later (4) so we must stop using other men’s faulty, out of context, biased arguments and look at that truth revealed in Scripture of this great God of love. As Jobs situation caused him to follow YHWH throughout his life, as the God who is jealous for you and I, as the One who puts Himself first because He only desires what is best for you calls to you answer Him and say here I am Lord use me. I anxiously await your response. . http://www.dabhand.org... . http://www.christinyou.net... . http://www.biblegateway.com... Read all of Job . http://www.youtube.com...
