Ecumenical Hammer Council

St. MC Athanasius: What God did not hammah, He did not redeem.

From the Forums:

I wonder if whether we can worship a god that is not all powerful (or conversely only all powerful) depends on how we view and respond to power, and authority. If we need the hammer, so to speak, to stay in line, perhaps we can respond and view with respect and worship, those who can bring the hammer down - hell, etc. If we don’t need that, a god who embodies all good and is all loving might be more easy to worship.

Better Never To Have Been Born: Is That Like God?

From the Mailbag:

In the story of Noah's ark, its says that God was sorry he'd made all those [wicked] people (that were then wiped out by the flood.)

After Judas betrayed Jesus, Jesus said it'd have been better if Judas had never been born.

Since God knew this before he created them, why did he anyway?

I think it's pretty intense to think that God regrets making certain people...when it's in his power to NOT make them to begin with.

Any thoughts?

Hell yeah.
