Does Yahweh/Jesus live by the Golden Rule?

Does Yahweh/Jesus live by the Golden Rule?

Most Christians seem to think so as they say that Yahweh/Jesus can do no evil.

We could look at all the commandments and laws but that might have us taking off in too many directions so I thought the Golden Rule might be a good starting point as it encompasses many of the commandments.

Most, I hope, start their moral thinking by some variant of the Golden Rule, a reciprocity rule, so I think we can all relate to some degree in judging Yahweh/Jesus.

Christians are told in scriptures to judge all things. Most Christians have judged Yahweh/Jesus and I wondered if others had as well.

Be you a Christian or not, could I have your overall thoughts and judgement of Yahweh/Jesus based on if you see him living by the Golden Rule?

Jesus was never anointed King by the Jewish hierarchy so call him Jesus instead of Christ please.

The inquisitors called us that for sure because they did not want to admit that the only good Christians were Gnostic Christian like moral people of those days said as well as the intelligentsia of today say.

That aside, I would rather be called a heretic than a Christian that idol worships, against scriptures, especially a genocidal god.

I happen to disagree with your answer if you wish to continue in a civil way.

That may be beyond you given your reply, but if you do, I have a bone to pick with Jesus asking me to abdicate my responsibility for my sin, given that, as you sing at Easter, Adam's sin was a happy fault and necessary to Yahweh's plan.

If necessary to keep Yahweh's plan on the rails, I want to take credit for doing my little part. Jesus has no need to steal my glory.

Are you game, or are you a moral coward who can only throw names and no decent apologetics at me?

Apologies for the tone, but ---- you earned it, Christian scum.

Now we are even. Care to engage?

You opened a lot of doors.

First, I just put a reply that questions the morality of substitutional punishment and Jesus asking us to abdicate our responsibility.

I gave one reason but if you wish, you might want to opine on the morality of punishing the innocent instead of the guilty as a policy for forgiving the guilty by punishing the innocent.

On your issue of doing good for the consequences, science is showing that we default to love, no argument there, but we do it for the positive consequence of cooperation and making friends because that is the best survival strategy. If not, we would default to competition and risk being the loser to that competition.

There is no real conflict between science and the Golden Rule, but it is done out of our selfishness. Nature demands it of us.

Have a look at this if you disagree.

Only when well done.

I admit to being serious about the harm Christianity does though. It is not a laughing matter to the many victims.

I need no authority to make a request for accuracy in a discussion.

What give you the authority to deny me a request for accuracy?

The context is biblical instruction to test all concepts and lovingly correct those who do not agree with one's proper conclusion.

That is how notions are put to the fire of the burning bush for purification.

That is what is meant by scriptures that say Yahweh will use fire the next time he uses genocide on our ideas.

Most of what is scripture is supposed to indicate what happens in our minds.

That is why in the creation painting, Yahweh is shown as sitting on a representation of our brain's right hemisphere.

I disagree and show why above. The consequence of our selfishness is a better chance at survival.

You are correct.

To have liars stop lying takes more than a request.

I guess that if I showed you when they started lying about that from Chrestian holy books, you would not care either.

Most don't care that the bible is a plagiarized bunch of beliefs from older and wiser traditions.
