Is the God of Jesus a merciful forgiving Father?
Or a bloodthirsty deity who must be appeased by the blood of animals, then later, by the blood of His favorite Son?
I realize these are loaded questions, and that my bias is apparent.
But which is it, merciful Father or Judge who demands blood?*
Which kind of God did Jesus himself teach? (not Paul, but Jesus)
What kind of Father demands the blood of his favorite Son in order to be able to forgive his other children?
--------------------
(note.. this thread is about forgiveness and atonement, not about the wars of YHVH's people etc.)
*if you answer "both" then please demonstrate how the two notions are compatible.

What kind of Father demands the blood of His Son?
Post #1 My theological positions:
-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.
I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

As I said, why would the devil-worshiping elite of this world try and stamp out Christianity now? And what about back then when Christianity was in its infancy?
What would it be about Christianity that would make Satan think it would be fortuitous to lead away from Judaism? Judaism involves black magic like the Kabbalah. In fact, Baphomet is also known as the Sabbatic goat:
The Anti-Christ is meant to be a Jew himself. So, no, I don't see how it is possible that Satan would use Christianity to counter Judaism.

The Satanic Knights Templar, also Baphomet worshipers, trace their origin to the Crusades. The Crusades started with the Pope and the Vatican is Satanic:Justin108 wrote:Ever heard of the Crusades?
The Crusades started in 1095 when Pope Claremont preached the First Crusade at the Council of Claremont. The Pope's preaching led to thousands immediately affixing the cross to their garments - the name Crusade given to the Holy Wars came from old French word 'crois' meaning 'cross'.

Therefore we have Satanists posing as Christians to fulfill their agenda.
Are the extreme Islamists Satanists pretending to be Muslim? Or do they really believe that Christians, as infidels, ought to be slaughtered? What do the scriptures and Quran say?[/img]

Post #113Yahweh and Allah were two of many gods. Allah is a moon god, how can Yahweh be as well?Elijah John wrote:No need to fight. From the Islamic perspective, it is the same God, the God of Abraham is not a "Pagan" God.

It's not a pagan god to them.

Thems are fightin' words, right?

Go fight.
Jews, Christians and Muslims are all "People of the Book".
In Islam ,paganism is equated with polytheism. Fellow monotheists are not considered "pagan".

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.
