Whose Side Is God On?

[ccmcmg]

We don’t get to make sides and expect God to chose one. He has set the sides “Good and Evil” and its up to us to choose what side we are on.

I think, like time, God is outside of it. There is no ‘side’, so much as there is ‘with God’ or ‘without God’. In God’s presence, all else falls away but Him.

Nevermind. You misread my words too. You believe that the Catholic Church is the one and only true church, and that my church is imperfect and that my baptism is imperfect. You believe that the Catholic Church and the Pope are infallible. You believe that Mary is the perpetual virgin and messenger to Jesus. You believe that Protestant Christians are sinners because they do not know or follow the Bible as defined by Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops, and others in their writings since Christ died on the cross. These are Catholic beliefs based on what I have learned on this forum so far.

I believe differently because I interpret the Bible differently. I want to know and understand what Peter and Paul actually said of what Jesus actually said. I think that I am intelligent enough to read literal words within their context.

Let’s just agree to disagree. Let’s leave it at that, and just glorify God in our own way.

I do believe that the Church is the one true and apostolic Church. I don’t have the capacity or knowledge (nor truly, does anyone on this earth) to judge your church. I believe that we have been given the fullness of knowledge and are expected to live as such…which we all fail at. I don’t believe that JUST Protestant Christians are sinners; we are all sinners. How or why doesn’t matter.

As for wanting to know what Peter and Paul ‘actually’ said of what Jesus ‘actually’ said…Christians of all sorts believe that, not just Catholics or Baptists or whoever. Wasn’t the Bible written first IN the Catholic Church, since Catholicism was founded BY Christ, through the Apostles? So whether you realize it or not, you are following some Catholic teachings.

God bless you,

Whose side is God [god] on?

I don’t think this is as applicable as it seems. It’s not about God being on our side, it’s about us being on his side. He’s the virtue prodigy, not us.

NICELY DONE:thumbsup:

However; IMO, God does because God must choose sides.

Because God is:
“ALL GOOD THING [and only good things] PERFECTED”

Does God not HAVE TO oppose evil in all of its forms and “promises?”

Can God accept every faith; every religion; even though they compete with His Singular Truths?

God Bless you,

Sorry for being unclear, I certainly agree that God is on the “goodguy” side.
