Repentance and atonement is a four step process. 1) Remorse 2) Confession 3) Restitution and most importantly, 4) Change. There are seven deadly sins that cannot be forgiven. They are 1) Any sin against God's person 2) Any type of abuse or neglect of a child 3) Murder 4) Rape 5) Kidnapping 6) Paying or taking a bribe 7) False witness or swearing falsely by Hashem. We are required to forgive those who truly repent. It is a sin to take vengeance or hold a grudge. Leviticus 19:18. Vengeance belongs to God. There is a commandment to love God and God does not love everyone. She only loves the righteous who love her. Psalm 146:8, SOS 1:4, Proverbs 8:17. If we do not forgive God, for bad behaviors and things said, then God cannot forgive us. The Book of Life, also called the Book of Remembrance, will contain the names of those who love God, who fear God, and who have forgiven God. Malachi 3:16-17, Exodus 20:6, Daniel 12:1, Daniel 7:10. The guilty will not be forgiven by God. They are those who have committed a deadly sin and those who refuse to repent of their sin.

See, it really is very simple. Why do the eggheads make it so complicated? Probably so they can perpetuate their own self-importance.

Interesting. It is a rarity to read of anyone referring to God as a She. I am awaiting the responses.

You need to read the Bible through cover to cover a few times and begin to see that God loves every one and that He has done nothing that was ever unrighteous. The God you serve may be a she but the God that I serve is a spirit and He seeks those to worship Him in spirit and truth.

Sounds like AA. There first step is to get u to acknowledge that there is a higher power. That's the only place I have heard God referred to as a female. Ur higher power can be whatever you want.

The only sin not forgiven is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The denial of Jesus as GOD and the Son of GOD.

There are different types of pride. You can be proud of your children, for what they've accomplished and there is nothing wrong with that. Pride that is arrogance or conceit is a sin. God himself has been humbled and "before honor is humility". Proverbs 15:33.

Not true.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. (Psalm 5:4–5)

There are many arguments for God being a woman in the OT. One of the strongest is Jeremiah 33:15-18. "...and this is the name wherewith SHE shall be called, The Lord our righteousness. For thus saith the Lord: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel. Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually". Israel has always had a king, but the Levites have not conducted sacrifice since the destruction of the second Temple in 70ce. Some will make the argument that the "she" refers to the city of Jerusalem. But the word "Lord" is in capital letters because it is translated as the Tetragrammaton. It is blasphemous to equate "Lord" with a city. Also, in Jeremiah 23:5-8 It says the same thing, almost verbatim, except it says "he". Jeremiah 23:6. Cities are referred to in the feminine gender.

I have read the OT hundreds of times, and I've read parts of it thousands of times. I have read through the NT 3 times. My God does not love the wicked, or her enemies. Her enemies will be cut off by fire on the first Day of the Lord, VWD Day. It stands for Vengeance, Wrath, and Destruction. Psalm 37:20. "But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away" Psalm 97:3. "A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about". Judgment day is the day you die. Nobody knows when that will be, so you should live every day like it's your last. The Lord God is not perfect, nobody is. Psalm 119:96. "I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad".

Scripture always uses He or Him, when referring to God. Also, Jesus was born as a MALE child, and HE referred to God as His FATHER. Case closed.

Ever since I was a young child, I have believed that God was a woman. In the Messiah's conversation with the Arch Angel Gabrielle, there was supposed to be a surprise. The surprise is the fact that the God of Israel is a woman. The flying roll, which was the Messiah's diary, said "I wonder what they'll say when they find out God is a woman? Surprise, surprise". Angels and God are neither male nor female, but on earth God will inhabit the body of a woman. Satan is a man and the serpent is a part of his anatomy.

That, right there, is proof positive that I should ignore ANYTHING you have to say. You are going to Hell. No doubt about it. Repent while you still can.
