When one has received the spiritual (born-again) experience of personally knowing God, one would not trade it for the world. The Bible states that those who receive Him are "sealed with the Promise" of eternal life. |
that isn't really what I asked. I know you
wouldn't trade it for the world, I'm asking if you
could. There is a big difference.

The Bible states that His Son did not come to condemn the world (it's already condemned) but that the world through Him might be saved.
If God was such a "bad parent" He would not have sacrificed His own Son in order to save you and your son. |
First, punishing humanity for all time for the actions of the first two (the ones he actually created by the way) is stupid. I've been grounded before .... I would hope that my children and their children etc. etc. won't suffer too badly because of something I did ....
Actually, sacrificing his son proves that god is a terrible parent. Especially since he knows the future and could have easily seen the outcome.
edit: haha wow, god really is a bad parent lol
lets see here.
First Son: Adam. Married Eve (his sister) and was tempted by Satan (through the deeds of his sister). Got humanity kicked out of Paradise for eternity.
Daughter: Eve. Married Adam (her brother) and was tempted by Satan. Got humanity kicked out of Paradise for eternity.
Second Son: Jesus. Let get betrayed and crucified.
also as an aside, he knocked up the wife of a married man (which according to his own commandments you really shouldn't do).
