"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?........ why call him God?"

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing?... Then whence cometh evil... Is he neither able nor willing...
........ why call him God?"

.... Epicurus ancient Greek philosopher (341 BC, Samos – 270 BC, Athens)


Pretty interesting even though it is flawed.

The secret is: Man is god.To perceive God from the inner eyes... we must have inbuilt power of Faith in us

Because God has better things to do than micro manage us...
 
Is God a man or spirit? Before you say spirit why would a spirit have genitalia?

God is a spirit, anything physical is from the natural world. God is not what they told you he is, a old white man with a long white beard. But more like the universe and everything that is in it. From what I last checked the universe doesn't have any genitalia, but anything that is of the spirit is with out form and is beyond our minds of comprehension. Going to the spiritual world would be like tripping out on some strong ass magic 'shrooms.
 
like what? you know what god does with his time. I got to hear this.

It's simple really.. If YOU were God.. And you were a LIVING God. and you created this....

The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across.

how concerned would you be for this

Code:
 Number of superclusters in the visible universe = 10 million
* Number of galaxy groups in the visible universe = 25 billion
* Number of large galaxies in the visible universe = 350 billion
* Number of dwarf galaxies in the visible universe = 7 trillion
* Number of stars in the visible universe = 30 billion trillion  (3x10²²)


Not saying that he doesnt care... I said He doesnt micro manage.

In the beginning there was God and the word was with God.
God created all the above and the conditions set forth within.. For what purpose we dont know yet..
So the condition of Good and Evil was created by him... We broke his law and paid the price.. The angels are what do the micro tasks.

God's main concern is the order of what he created.. but I can,t speak for him.. that's just my belief.

There are 3 things in the bible I believe in 100%

The Ten commandments
Moses Got them from God
God took Enoch with him.

Ever notice how God did what he did in the bible and bounced.. Never came back until Jesus was born.. And then it wasn't god that returned it was Jesus. Yes yes Jesus is a portion of God. But it doesnt say God AND Jesus AND the holy spirit.

Now peep this.


"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…"​
His commandments were these.

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

He's not talking about Money and crap.. He;s talking about Apollo, Zeus and the OTHER Gods..Mithra, Bastet , Anansi etc.


TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'​

No IDOLS you curs.. SO no putting Actors, musicians and such above him.


THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'​

BLASPHEMER stop saying G-Damn and say Got/Hotdamn.


FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'​

Chill out on Sunday yo. Lest ye Be stoned to death.


FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'​

I mean they DID give birth to your "insert race..Ass", But people are screwy.


SIX: 'You shall not murder.'​

No premeditation.. nuff said.


SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'​

DONT CHEAT!!!! It says nothing about looking and what not though..

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'​

DERRRR!!!


NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'​


DEERRRRR!!


TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

GET YOUR OWN .. you frakkin pricks..

With that said.. I claim no Religion but I believe in God.. and he doesn't micromanage..
 
I don't even know how you can even think you could have any insight on something you never seen, visual observed, and have statistics or factual information to even hypothesis on how it could think. Interesting.
 
You guys are not able to comprehend. In comparison to eternity our lives on this earth is infinitely miniscule. The suffering felt here is comparable to the pain you feel when a mosquito bites you.

We get caught up in those who are successful that are evil and vice versa, but in the grand scheme of things it's worthless.

God explaining his ways to us, or his mindset is like an astrophycisist explaining astro physics to a 2 year old.
 
I gotta philosophy paper due on this shit on Wednesday...yall niggas keep going please

Same here.. What he's missing is god is BEYOND all this... all this made up shit.. We can't even imagine that. I came up with what a MORTAL mind could.. not some alien immortal thing would think off. :D

All this is Bullshit in the grandscheme.. what ever the frak that may be.:confused:

Until he/she feels informed to be like Taz.. here's the deal.. I'll be all like :eek::eek::eek:

He'll be all like :lol::lol::lol::dance::dance::dance: Told ya.
 
1 thing about the bible/god I always questioned is the book of Job. Why would god kill his family and livestock to test his faith. I know he gave him " a better family" but how would that make up for taking his first family.

This child has hit upon the gist of it.

I check BGOL from time to time, follow the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Rays a bit, permit the occasional miracle... aside from that I haven't been active in your world for a long time.

As a matter of fact, I have not listened to a single prayer since your stupid economy collapsed, so you can stop wasting your time nagging me with that shit.
 
He is testing you to see how faithful you are.

If you live a life filled with bull shit and remain faithful you will get to heaven....simple as that.

He knows all before it happens.

He knew the Jews would get roasted he knew niggas would be enslaved
he knew Africa would be raped and he knew the children would starve.

No its not perfect but thats how he made it.

Fuck you gonna do....cry about it?:confused:
 
I do believe in god, but I have problems with a lot of whats in the bible. Man wrote the bible....lots of them....its been changed to many times.

and where is this place you call heaven? :confused: I have a hard time taking anyone serious who speaks like this...

Cause he said so.

Dont question him.:smh:

It wasnt meant to be taken serious.:lol:

Shit is fucked up but what can you do honestly?

Nothing.

Imagine how many prayers for food went out of Africa over the years.:eek:


They probably start off like "our father...blah blah blah"

Two weeks later after zero food they be like

"Damn nigga?......you gonna do us like this?......that's cold...."
 
God gave man free will. You have the will to do as you please. If God willed all of us to do nothing but good, then we would be living in Heaven and not here on earth. The bible says this is the Devil's world. In this vast universe, there are places that are better and much worse than what we deal with here on earth.

Exactly, these guys kill me looking for a religous debate on a poard board.

Anyway i'll bite somewhat. Good and evil are products of the greater good of free will.
If you want evil taken away, then free will must be taken away as well.

Angels also have free will. God did not ALLOW anything. Satan chose his course and he has had no problem recruiting those who choose to do his bidding. The bible also speaks of heaven and hell. Here on earth heaven and hell are just states of mind. How you choose to use your free will determines whose house you will dwell in.

Omniscience and free will are incompatible ideas. if god knows what you are going to do already, then you, necessarily, do not have free will. So, either there is a god and he/she knows everything and you do not have free will. Or, there is no God...
 
We operate using a multitude of systems including nervous systems and chemical reactions. Mechanical systems as well. Energy can't be destroyed, only changed to another state. But how that translates to the Jesus claim blows me away, people talk about the non-existence of your friends and family. I don't think of it that way. Time is a dimension that is not fixed. It can be manipulated, and it can be measured differently by different brains. It is our brains that perceive time and the rate at which time travels. Small insects like flies have extremely fast reflexes because their brain is small. Dumb but fast as their thought processes are very simple. So I would argue that they see time at a different rate than we do. Even we perceive time differently depending on what we are doing. Staring at a clock slows perception of time. So think of time as a similar dimension to that of space. It exists, and you are on it's path and you are traveling at a variable rate dependent on your perception. Your friends also exist on it as well, but at a different location. You can't see them now because you are at a different location in time. Due to limitations in our laws of physics and our brains, you also can't communicate with them from this point in time. But you did when you were there. So they exist as do you. And 2 million years from now, that won't change. The people that exist then will think that you don't exist as we don't think they exist, but it's all just perception based on our point of reference. It's all relative. That's why it's so important to have a good life and help others do the same. It's our only life. And life is never short or long. It's always your entire life.

DING DING DING!!!!!! Exactly.
God does NOT Micro manage THUSLY we Have FREE WILL!

If he micromanaged we would not need to go to church yo..
