Is it foolish to call God, “Father”?
As above, so below says the Lord’s Prayer.
God’s first legal decision has him demanding that Jesus be a human sacrifice to rescind God’s own condemnation of his own creation.
1Peter 1:20 0 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
Quite good for Christians, --- while quite evil to others who do not condone human sacrifice, --- just because a God whose reality has yet to be shown demands it.
The main point is; would any father or mother who reads this O. P., ever choose such a sacrifice, given that other venues were available as they were with God?
Your own answer says that you would expect a Father to find another way and that such a God is not a worthy God.
Do you agree that to call God, Father, is to insult the word father, --- as no human father would be so evil.
Under fire, and duress, I've called him a lot worse that that.
And at this point, age-experience and inclination, need no refutation courtesy of gnostic claptrap that is really nothing more than covert preaching. And you have already been warned about that once.
Carry that not to my door.
That should have answered the question.
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"

Pilger's law: 'If it's been officially denied, then it's probably true'
"Whoever imagines himself a favorite with God,
holds other people in contempt.
Whenever a man believes that he has the exact truth from God,
there is in that man no spirit of compromise.
He has not the modesty born of the imperfections of human nature;
he has the arrogance of theological certainty and the tyranny born of ignorant assurance.
Believing himself to be the slave of God,
he imitates his master,
and of all tyrants,
the worst is a slave in power."
--Robert Ingersoll
GB, I asked you to tone it down. I've seen and dealt with every slick trick when it comes to religeous preaching. I also warned you that many members might find your posts offensive.
This an official warning. And by that the last.
