John answered and said to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Death to those that collect firewood on the Sabbath.
The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death
While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.” So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses.
In Dr. Malone's post today, the "all or nothing" mindset re: disqualifying the Olympian horse with the drop of blood on his leg seems rooted in such O.T. teachings as this.
People do not go to eternal agony for "not following the rules". You do not, not go to heaven because you have committed adultery, murder, thievery, etc. Eternal agony is reserved for those who have not accepted God's free gift of salvation and have not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
Ecclesiastes 3:11 states, “God has set eternity on the heart of every man”, and Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “If you seek the Lord your God, you will find Him. If a person truly seeks after God, they will find him and he will make himself known. With that said, Christians need to be doing all they can to get the gospel out so all will hear and will be saved
Are you sure you're not just trying to deliberately misunderstand at this point? I think most people know what is meant by "seeking God", and it doesn't involve "seeing" God in the sense you refer to.
Many Christians believe that God will provide a way to be saved for anyone willing to take it, whether or not they have explicitly heard the name "Jesus Christ". The group of "you must explicitly accept these intellectual doctrines" are a minority, and IMO they are contradicting the Bible.
The Bible is proof of what Christians are supposed to believe, but often ignore.
And I wasn't talking about whether God is really there. I was talking about your question of an implied contradiction between "cannot see God and live" with "seeking" him. I assert you're nitpicking a contradiction into existence that isn't really there.
So... 2/3 of the world's population, all the jews, Buddhists and Hindus... and the rest... FAR outnumbering you pompous wind-bag "christians"... all bound for eternal torture and agony.
Read Biglino's "The Naked Bible" and wake up from your insane nightmare.
Nothing sadistic, or psychotic bc God does NOT send anyone to eternal torment....people walk themselves there, even when others throughout their lives try to prevent them from jumping into the fire...

I think we are starting to see the separating of wheat and chaff. Much of the chaff are not hiding their evil.

BLESSED BE THE SHARING OF HIS WORD!!
Shalom, sister in faith!
Amen! 🧡🧡
like my like still not accepting my input.
Nothing sadistic or psychotic about sending one's own creations to eternal agony and torment if they don't follow the rules... eh?
After all... they DESERVE it... right?
I think I heard somewhere that “actions have consequences”? 😂

True. So sleeping with the neighbor's wife rates an eternity of torture on some BBQ in hell?
You must be fun at birthday parties.

So, all of the indigenous peoples all over the planet outside
of the Middle East that had never heard of Jesus went to a place
of eternal agony while rapists and murderers went to heaven?
This sounds unjust to me.

If no one can see god and live, how can someone seek him/her?
How will he/she make himself/ herself known to me?

I have no reason to believe in an entity that cannot be seen or heard.
The bible is not proof of anything.

That is simply both moronic and insane.

I would suggest reading Barbara Walker's 'Man Made God'.
Women especially should read this.
