Is God's acceptance of us conditional?

I’m out now guys, sorry. I should never have commented on this thread. We’re not supposed to be debating religion on the forum, and ultimately that’s what I’ve been doing. My apologies. So, carry on.

In fact, I've just realized that the OP uses the word "debate" in the first post,
which sets the stage for that sort of thing.

A different way of framing the discussion would be necessary to avoid that.

Something more in line with *what are your ideas* rather than the
yes/no set up of the title.

A man beating up his mother is the same as someone not obeying words written in a book? Um, okay. I’m ducking out of this conversation now.

A lot of those words (rules) reference things like violence, murder, etc being forbidden.

I've edited my original post after reading this comment.

That actually may be why I responded, despite that I normally don’t. It seemed more of an open question type of thread. It’s still a Christian/religious debate, though, so I’ll leave it alone.
