Homosexuality in the eyes of God

[Virgin Mary]

Then god isnt omnipitant or omnicient.
We understand these consepts rationaly, If rationality is said to be false then we dont know god at all, hence we cannot judge if hes all powerful or benevolent or anything? hence god cant do anything or have any attribute since they would have to be known logicaly, without logic god cannot exist "/

That is probably one of the reasons we can't explain God well, we can only explain him using our logic and knowledge, but because he defies both of these we find it hard to explain such a being.

But as god is BENEVOLENT. God WOULD NOT deceave us. Hence logic must be correct. If its not god would be evil. And that also means the diety in question is not god "/

God doesn't stop us from learning things for ourselves, logic now is much different to what it was about 200 years ago.

Even paradoxes?

Yes, even paradoxes, which is what I've been trying to explain for a few pages of this thread now.

Can he create something more powerful than himself?
And its still not anything

All-powerful. Indicating that such a being has the power to do... oh yes, anything.

Rationalise it then, You cant, Impossible is impossible even to god "/ human understanding has limits, but the rationlisation comes before that "/

As above, dearie. Impossible is not impossible to a being that is omnipotent.

Hard to do when the bible contradicts itself, Christanty has both "an eye for an eye" and "turn the other cheek in" it. Which one are people supposed to be following...

Hence why I wrote "Judaism/Christianity". Jews only follow the Old Testament (or should) and so by their heritage should be placing animals for sacrifice every Saturday, and should have the right (but not obligation) to sell their children into slavery/servanthood. Christians follow the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, and Jesus brings the "new covenant", which is the purging of all human sins to make way for a more caring world and a benevolent God. I personally view Christianity as a way for non-Jews (gentiles) to work with Jewish law but with less restrictions.

Some people believe god is the answer to questions humans don't know the answer to, a fear of the unknown kinda thing.

Thanks for whoever gave me a good rep, although judging by the comment it was probably supposed to be a bad one :p
