The broken law of God demanded the life of the sinner. In all the universe there was but one who could, in behalf of man, satisfy its claims. Since the divine law is as sacred as God Himself, only one equal with God could make atonement for its transgression. None but Christ could redeem fallen man from the curse of the law and bring him again into harmony with Heaven. Christ would take upon Himself the guilt and shame of sin—sin so offensive to a holy God that it must separate the Father and His Son. Christ would reach to the depths of misery to rescue the ruined race. PP 63.2

God was to be manifest in Christ, "reconciling the world unto Himself." 2 Corinthians 5:19. Man had become so degraded by sin that it was impossible for him, in himself, to come into harmony with Him whose nature is purity and goodness. But Christ, after having redeemed man from the condemnation of the law, could impart divine power to unite with human effort. Thus by repentance toward God and faith in Christ the fallen children of Adam might once more become "sons of God." 1 John 3:2. PP 64.1

My friend, I am afraid you are mistaking the forest for the trees.

This race war that has been skillfully thrust upon us is the exact thing that Jesus warned His disciples about that would happen just before the close of time. “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” [Matthew 24:7]

The Greek word for 'nation' is ethnos. There will be ethnicity against ethnicity... This will not be of a natural occurrence; this will be the work of the adversary, knowing that his time is short.

When the disciples asked Jesus when they could expect these things to occur, His first advice was, "Take heed that no man deceive you.” [Matthew 24:4] If you think that the whole Bible can be summed up into, "Bow before the Creator because you must." You have not spent enough time earnestly seeking to know God's character.

I can clearly see that you are attempting to lure Christians away from their faith. But you should first ask yourself how might they have become to be Christians in the first place. In this world, we are shrouded in darkness and we have been forced fed lies our entire life by esteemed man. Once the Truth is finally found, it is not something that can be so easily thrown away when someone who has obviously never delved into the Scriptures comes along to mock its principles and provide blatantly erring interpretations.

Believe me, I was once an ardent atheist as well; I had the same distaste for Scripture as you have just posited. Your argument is nothing new to anyone who was a disbeliever and now been convicted by the Holy Spirit.

I'm not trying to lure anyone away from anything. The way I see it, faiths of all kinds attempt to get people to go along with them, which one could say is a lure. But that aside, before I can go along with anything I'd like to ask questions and understand things. Am I not allowed? Or are you unwilling to answer them?

And I don't believe you. I don't know you. Convince me your faith is true. If you can't, then pray to your God and ask him to reach me through you.

Is he unable to?
