Does God ---- Do unto others?
There are many instances in scriptures where God does not follow the golden rule.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
In the sacrifice of Jesus, God demanded that Jesus bear the sins of the wicked who will repent.
This is hardly doing unto others or following the advice of scriptures. ---------------------------------- Matthew 25:41 (Jesus speaking): Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Hell can hardly be called a good thing. This again is hardly Jesus doing unto others or following the advice of scriptures. -----------------------------------
Does the God you know follow the golden rule?
How can he be doing so when a good God would find a good and moral way to convert instead the draconian methods he seems to use that go against the golden rule and his own good advice in his scriptures?

Considering that what God would like others to do is worship and obey him having him do unto others as he would have them do unto him would be...rather odd.

Reciprocity is fair play where I come from so I cannot agree. If we respect him, and he does not return that respect, that would mean that to him, the respect is not coming from a worthy source and would therefore be no worthy respect at all. Just something else. I was analyzing the way he punishes more than the way he supposedly loves. Regards DL
