God isn't always perfect

Your god is dead

  Why would a God allow all of this evil to exist?

Brother Arce,

If there was just good, how could we be tested to see if we are deserving to dwell in the house of the Lord?

Brother Arce,

Why would an omniscient being - a being that knows all - need to administer a test? What could it learn that it didn't already know? Or is your God not an omniscient being?

[arce1988]

  God would not need to test if he knows all. Right?

This is to you and Avxo.

God gave us free will. Meaning we choose what we want to do. Him knowing what we will do because he knows all doesn't mean it's not free will. It just means he knows what we will do. It is a test for us. Not for him.

Why do we need to be tested? What do we gain from the test, if anything? If we pass, we go to heaven. If not, well... we don't. Why not skip the test entirely and get to the "graduation" already, since our grades have already been assigned and our degrees printed.

Also, please don't hide behind your finger with "god knows but you don't, so it's free will." A free will is incompatible with a predetermined outcome.

1. Don't tell me how to answer questions when you ask me for an answer.
2. We are being "tested" because of the original sin. (Adam and Eve). And the wages of sin is death. Jesus was put here to pay for the sins of humans. He is the only human (if you can call him fully human) to never have sinned. He is the son of God. God sacrificed his only son so that way not burn in hell for all the sins human commit. BUT, you must believe that he is the son of God and accept him as your Lord and Savior.

3. I knew you'd say what you'd say in your last sentence which is why I explained it before.  It is still free will. Since God is all knowing, it means exactly that, he's all knowing. He created everything. Obviously he's going to know the answer to everything, even before it happens. He is the Alpha and the Omega. That doesn't take away that you still have free will that he happens to know the answer to.

Go back to 2012 and read what I said. You guys have made up quiet the story. I stated, I thought SOMETHING would happen. I never said what. I never said it was the end of the world. Then after nothing seemingly happened, I ate my crow and went on my business.

ah the sliding scale of perception

no you said the world would end

you are now trying to justify it in your head rather than question your own belief system

you are a good guy stop the pot for a while and see where your head is then

[Wiggs]

I mentioned this last week. But people get this idea that if there was a God, he wouldn't let all the evil in the world go on that happens. There is nothing in the Bible or the Quran that states that. And because God fails to meet the requirements that people have of him, they choose not to believe in him.

I can excuse people that were not brought up religious and don't know the answers so they come to their conclusions. It's their ignorance that makes them draw the conclusions they do. When you study and ask they questions many of you ask, it will begin to make sense and make sense even more the more you study.

This life was never supposed to "Heaven"....It should be obvious by now. But it is a test and as I stated many times, many will fail out of ignorance, pride, greed, sloth and evil.

If God can do anything , how come he cant make a mountain he cant move?

[bigmc]

religion was invented by men who couldnt come to terms with their own mortality

its that simple

there is no anti christ ffs

men are bad enough without that shit

we are born we live we die the end

[Wiggs]

lol. What?

What does the color blue smell like?

[Skeletor]

What does the color blue smell like?

Wouldn't god know?

[ukjeff]

Its simple.
Just answer it two parts
Can your God do anything?
If yes .
Can he create a mountain he cant move?
If yes, then thats something he cant do, (move the mountain)
If no, then he cant create a mountain big enough.

[Wiggs]

Wouldn't god know?

It's called an illogical question. For example, would God be able to make a square circle?

I'm sorry you feel this way. That's too bad. Hopefully you'll realize you are wrong before it's too late.

[Skeletor]

If he is "omnipotent", wouldn't he be able to?
Homer Simpson had a similar question "Would Jesus be able to microwave a burrito so hot, he himself could not eat it?"

Another illogical question that the dipshit (Yes, dipshit) Richard Dawkins loves to use.

"Who created God?"

God is all powerful, all knowing, timeless and changeless. This means, he wasn't created he's always been and always will be. He exists outside of what you know as time.

You people try to do is ask illogical questions to make it seem as if there is no God that exists and they try limiting his power and when man doesn't have an answer to what is an illogical question, atheist feel they won the argument. It's sophomoric and jejune.
