I thought your original post showed a lot of maturity. It was so refreshing to hear someone say how much 'God is hurt'. Therefore I thought it was safe to broach this side of the matter as well, because I feel it is further incentive to avoid 'sinning', for the mistreatment of others ought to...

By all accounts I am a really lovely, gentle, gracious and very understanding man. So I am told. Have no fear What say you, amenkid777? …

Does it hurt God a lot how Christians treat one another? …

He was the determinant in the matter. (according to your post) It's vital to dispassionately establish and reinforce this fact first. Then build from there. …

It's so important how we treat one another. The Lord so completely and thoroughly identifies himself with the most impoverished of hearts, those even the Church often despise. The Jews waited thousands of years for their Messiah, and the first thing he mentions in the Sermon on the Mount, is...

Morally and legally defensible: and it also discharges the obligation of governmental propriety. There are two types of governments in question here to compare - the Beasts, which is absolute, unconditional etc. God's, which is a government of motive - not force. The first demands and forces...

That's good! ……… just think, if those who had a greater start than we did are still mercifully preached to then it bodes a lot better for people than we think. Let's be honest though, nobody knows what was preached by Jesus, nor for that matter the end of all things. We can't take the judgment...

This might help: For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 1 Peter 3:18-20 …

What is going to happen is not inconsistent at all with that. See: 2 Peter 1:19 - Acts 2:17 - Rev 2:17 …
