Sometime when I tell a damnationist how my concept of god (victorious gospel) is better then concept of god (damnaiton gospel) they will I just hate god and so therefore I reject him and just create my own god that fits my criteria.
Usually that means you're on the right track. :thumbsup:
:winkgrin:
Seriously it's something most of us have heard. Rejoice when men say all manner of evil things about you for the Truth's sake. :cloud9:
Peace and blessings to you bro. :HeartThrob:
Of course, what God is, is far above any of our concepts about Him. That being said, the Victorious Gospel puts a much better foundation under our understanding of our Heavenly Father.
That's because they had created their own God which is partial and selfish, two things that God has never been and never will be because God is not a man that He should change :2c:

Well, you can tell them that if that is true, then you have somehow conceived of an idol that is more powerful, more loving, and is much more wise than the "one true God", a God that can actually accomplish His own will. :banana:
and you somehow accomplished all of this using scripture. How impressive is that??!! :laughing7:

This is encouraging. I have to keep remembering this, and keep my eyes on Jesus. If I start looking at myself, then I get all worried about how others are going to react to me and what they will think of me. :thumbsup:

:iagree:
I've had the whole "You are creating your own idol" Etc said to me.
At first it did really get to me, but now I know better to try box God in to something man thinks he can comprehend and dictate.
