Nathanael: Hello
Me: Okay, hi, [Nathanael].
Nathanael: How are you today?
Me: Em, okay.
Me: Been better.
Nathanael: Good, glad to hear it.
Nathanael: Sorry thingks aren't going super well, though.
Me: It's not bad. Like, I totally don't have a maggot hole in my belly or anything.
Me: That would be bad.
Me: Time nine
Me: or ten.
Me: Depending on if you like bugs or not.
Nathanael: True.
Me: Anyway, on to the epic question!
Me: It's not really epic, I've just been wondering this for a long time...
Me: Does God love everyone?
Me: Like, everyone everyone? Or does He love some people more than others?
Nathanael: Yes, He does. BUt don't confuse that to mean that God's love robs His justice, which it doesn't.
Me: Well, like, if I went and killed someone RIGHT NOW, God would still love me as much as he does right now?
Nathanael: God would still love you. IF you were to go and kill someone right now you wouldn't be able to live in God's kingdom, but that doesn't mean that God doesn't love you. He does, but because He is perfectly just you would not be able to live with God if you murdered somone.
Nathanael: someone*
Me: Well, doesn't God control the world and stuff? So technically, He would've made me kill someone? So it's that a little unfair...to punish me for something He told me to do?
Nathanael: Actually, we don't believe God controls our actions. You do.
Nathanael: Meaning you control your own actions. haha.
Me: Ah. I see. So...what if someone ate a puppy or something? Then what? Because that's still murder.
Nathanael: Well, God put all the beasts and living things on the earth for the use of man, and He has commandments concerning that usage in many cases.
Nathanael: If you are killing the dog just for the sake of killing the dog, that's not a good idea. However, if you need food and you kill the dog to eat, then God is fine with it.
Me: So you can't eat a puppy? Would you get struck down by holy lightning for the mere thought of it?
Me: Well, if you can kill a dog to eat a dog, what if you killed a man for the sake fo becoming a cannibal?
Nathanael: Well, I would answer that, except if I did, then I would be struck down for thinking about it. :)
Me: I see what you did there,
Me: NO. but seriously?
Nathanael: hahaha. The problem with your analogy is that humans weren't put on the earth for hte use of man, but animals were.
Me: If I woke up one day and I was like 'Hey, I want to be a cannibal' I couldn't kill a man?
Nathanael: No, you couldn't.
Me: Drat.
Me: What about becoming a vampire?
Me: I mean, technically, you wouldn't be using a human. You'd just be leeching their blood.
Nathanael: Hahahaha. Nice. I like your creativity. :)
Me: No, man, like, I'm serious.
Me: And technically, people DO use other people, obviously against God's wishes. Must I remind you of the slavery?
Me: Or sex?
Nathanael: And both are not condoned by God.
Me: Slavery isn't condoned by God!?!?!?
Me: That's shit!
