What about Ehud in the bible? A left handed man who led isreal over the moabites

Jesus says that nobody should call anyone father accept the father god.

But Paul says that everyone should see him as their father in the book of corinthians.

There is a contradiction i need answered. Because some catholics think they are saints and I'm possessed by the devil because I write with my left hand.

Jesus says "When you give, let not the left hand know what the right hand is doing"

Come on! it doesnt mean that I cant write with my left hand. it means you shouldnt tell anyone and boast when doing good.

I'd love to help you out. Can you cite your scripture references that you're "going to hell because you write with your left hand"? Also, if you cite your scripture references on calling anyone Father as well. But be sure your reading the text in context and knowing who the original audience is.

You have to follow the logic here. Scientists say the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body. Conversely, the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. That can only mean if you are left-handed, you're OUT of your right mind! (My son is left-handed and I've told him that for years. He always responds by informing me he is IN his right mind.) I guess you have to make the distinction of whether you're in or out of your right mind.

Catholics, as a whole, are good people; a little misguided, but still our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Catholic church has historically made decisions or judgments because of fear or because they couldn't explain the circumstance. Therefore whatever it was, had to be "of the devil." Just as parent's today where the default answer is "NO," the church's default answer was "it's of the Devil." The Inquisition was one such example and Galileo's theories were another. Being left-handed and devil possessed is just another of the church's long list of errors throughout history.

As your example of Ehud shows, there have been left-handed people throughout history; be proud you come from the long line of the least recognized minority in history! (I suppose now that the cat is out of the bag, we right-handers will have to recognize y'all as a protected class of citizens). BTW, if it means anything to you, Fearless Leader is left-handed too.

You are going to hell if you are a un-repentant sinner. OR you are of the crowd that think they are saved-in-sin, not out of it.

The latin for right is dexter and for left sinister.

Dude - God is a spirit he does not have hands or fingers. Its symbolic of righthand - Gods way, like right-eousness.

If you have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus and are striving to following him in holiness and obedience then you are saved.:shade:
