A GOD that forgives but can't forgive Jews....yet is omnipotent so in actuality can't be mad for them worshiping other GOD's when he had to have known this was to happen...and not intervening to stop it in the first place from worshiping others GOD's, and is punishing them for what he had the power to control well within his situation.
And this is the GOD people are trying to convince me is not only REAL, but worthy of my time??
I think I'll pass and worship Natalie Portman instead.
JOHN 3:16 ?For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,
in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
This applies for blacks, whites, greens, blues, purples, etc.
But the Jews problem is, they do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. This is the only stipulation God has given life under. The Jewish people as a whole reject Jehovah's way out of sin and death.
So it's not God not forgiving them, it's them not taking advantage of God's forgiveness, not only for them, but for everyone.
And just because he is omnipotent does not mean he cannot be angered with false worship. That is the beauty of being omnipotent. You can do what you wish, and no one can stop you.
And since he gives free will, he being the omnipotent one he is, he chooses to allow us to love him from our own hearts.
If he intervened in our free will as you complain about him rightly not doing, then it would not really be free will would it genius?
When your parents laid down rules in the house coming up, and when you followed them well, were you not rewarded for it in some way? Did your parents not feel as if you cared about listening to them, and translating it as you loving them? When you did not listen, were you disciplined? Or did you just run wild and did as you pleased under someone elses roof? If you were disciplined, was it a lack of love on your parents part because they disciplined you? Or did you out of your own free will decided to disobey, and therefore deserved the punishment?
If this situation is applied to Jehovah as the parent, and you as the unruly child who ignores him, and does what he pleases outside of the rules in his house (which is the earth in this instance), would Jehovah be wrong to discipline you, and kick you out of his house if you kept it up throughout your life?? Especially since there are people who will actually listen to him in the house? Could you really fault Jehovah for this?
