yhwh regrets making man and displays profound levels of ignorance in creating everything.

God made everything perfect. But for the sake of giving the created beings the highest bliss and perfection, he gave them free will. Those that turned against God and followed his adversary became evil, the opposite of God. But God in no wise created evil.

Before the great flood, God saw that the wickedness in man's heart was continually evil, as it is again today. He was sorry to see what he created turn against him.

The true God doesn't condemn or judge us to hell. God is a God of pure unconditional love. Love doesn't judge, but your Bible God does.

But isn't that what God said through Jesus, as recorded in the Bible?

"And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world." John 12:47 KJV

"Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man." John 8:15 KJV

God does not send people to hell, and God also does not force people to go to heaven. But some reject God and fall away from him into the abyss. There are few that find the path that leads to life.

I invite you to try again and find a fault with the word that Jesus spoke, which is the word of God, since so far you have come up empty handed.

This response of yours is the standard Christian excuse making for YHWH. You should read up on gnostic thought and also look into Marcion - he had the first Bible and didn't think YHWH was the father of Jesus.

You are telling me to read something, but have you even read the Bible? I mean cover to cover. It appears you gave up on my challenge to find a fault in the word of God which Jesus spoke.

Yes I have. I'm an ex fundamentalist Christian. You balk at being told to read something? Marcion came first...aren't you interested in early Christianity? If not, never mind. You should also study how the Bible came to be, and look into all of the texts that were excluded from the cannon. Also, Martin Luther came along later and changed the cannon, and that's how we got the protestant Bible. The Catholics have a lot more books

Again, you could not say for yourself what is wrong with the words of Jesus. Instead of reading what others said about Christianity, why don't you analyze the teachings of Jesus the Christ for yourself and come up with your own conclusions? And whatever wisdom you lack, you could pray directly to God and ask him.

The words written in the curated Gospels may or may not have said by a person named Jesus. There are a lot of things I liked about what was allegedly taught and said. Check out what he said in the gnostic scriptures too.

Live according to those teachings, and you will be on the path that leads to God.

Unfortunately for you, if you continue to reject what Jesus did for you (dying on the cross to take away your guilt of sin), then you will not avail yourself of the blessings of his act of salvation, including the strength of his Holy Spirit to help you overcome all the temptations of the flesh. Without his strength, you are easy prey to God's adversary, who has already had some victory over you, as you are confused about the Lord and doubt his love for you, his wisdom and his strength, which the adversary has no power to defeat. The hope of salvation is still available to you, through Jesus, who died for all mankind and rose again, and he reigns over all creation even now.

If you continue to reject him, your blood is not on my hands. I have shared the good news with you and you can pray to God directly and ask him to confirm the truth to you. If you have a sincere question for me, I will answer, but otherwise I am done here.

NDEs show that Christianity, while fine to believe in, is not the ultimate truth.

Most NDEs are also illusions constructed by archons.

"Christianity" as we think of it sure isn't the ultimate truth. But I am convinced the real original Christianity knew the path to it.
