The Fourth Seal: Death And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not waste the oil and the wine.” And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a pale horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth.… This would be very convenient for us, because we suffer overpopulation, all major problems in the world are overpopulation problems.
do the depopulation because the Bible says so

The book of revelation by John of Patmos was anti-Roman propaganda. The 616/666 beast was Emperor Nero.
Literally nothing in that "prophecy" will ever come true. It is political fiction written for what was at the time an underground rebellious cult.

This Christian end times is so boring.
The Islamic end times is much more exciting. And it has a fairer outcome. You should push for that one to happen instead.

Oh heavenly ARCHITECT ...
You promised that a quarter of mankind is going to be devoured by the wild wolves from the woods when the lamb opens the 4th seal:

That sir was truly beautiful.
Sheep go to heaven,
Goats go to hell.
It's foolish to think such things, I consider it a silent demand that we abolish damnation, for all can be saved
:
and love can pierce the heart regardless of it's hardness.
Acceptance.
We can all be accepted if we purge this duality from our veins, evil is the wicked switch that denies us the ability to build a truly magnificent kingdom here on Earth. If we can't be true here we have no place in heaven.
We are one but not the same.
Very touching post dude. It broke my barriers and resonated with me.

So 1/4 of the population needs to go?
I see...?
Why should they have to die because of other people's actions?
Is 1/4 of the world in the oil industry?

Architects design, they don't build.
If the Christian God is an architect, he can't be the creator, just the planner and designer.
In this scenario a Xstian will tell you that the Word or Logos is the Creator, Jesus, who denies being God in the NT, several times.
So Jesus is not the creator or architect.
Who is the demiurge (craftsman) to the Architects blueprint?
The Angels? Not according to the Bible. It was actually the Gods or Elohim, which must have been taken as a name to make Genesis Monotheistic, but means the Gods.
What a tangled mess. God is beyond human descriptive terms like architect.
And it certainly is not a Christian expression, it sounds like someone who wants to be a Mason, isn't, but still uses their vocabulary, sort of.
Saved from what? And how?
Please don't tell me by the blood of Jesus, that is mythology and allegory, human sacrifice doesn't atone for anyone's sin's.
All in good fun, I agree with your sentiments, I'm just so sick of Pauline soteriology.
Judgement needs to be fair if God is the Judge, and Christian salvationism is dualistic and not fair...at all.
Also, I am not being adversarial if it seems that way, I'm just abrasive by nature. I actually agree with you.
