Is man inherently good or inherently evil?

Rrhain writes:"Instead, the question put to you is why is god judging? What is the result of the judgement? Is god going to give you a car? What is the point of the judgement? If god judges you and doesn't find you wanting, what do you get?It's a very simple question. I wish you would answer it directly?"

1 Peter 1:17: And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

"...why is God judging?"

...for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Of course, which God are we talking about?

Rrhain writes:Sorry, but that's my question to you.
You didn't really think the god that truly exists was the Christian one, did you?

Charles Knight writes:I think being a christian is morally wrong.

NIVMatt 20:1-15 writes: "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. "About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' So they went. "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'"'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them,'You also go and work in my vineyard.'
"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.' "The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.
When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.' "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'

What does this parable mean to you?

It would be the same if you, Crashfrog, were working as a senior desk clerk at a large Hotel. After years of experience, you made a decent wage of $16.00 an hour. This wage was acceptable for you--you considered it a fair wage. One day, the Hotel hires two new clerks with no experience. The Hotel decides to pay them $16.00 an hour.
What is your beef?

To those whom he said would receive "what is right" he paid them the same as everyone else.

That is unfair. In the case of our parable, however, the ones who were paid "what is right" were hired mid day and were paid as much as the ones hired at the start of the day and the ones hired at the end of the day.

Everyone received the same wage.
