Well honestly I don't believe in God in the same sense as Christians and the church describe him; I don't believe he's an all powerful being in a heavenly abode but more so like everything that relates to nature, human aspirations, life and this prosperously bearing Universe filled with new life each day.
Yea I know it's deep; I'm satisfied with it that way - not the vengeful obey-me-or-die God.
God made the devil, but he was a angel in heaven. His name was called the bright and morning star. The reason that he is causing all of this hurt is because he can't have God best anymore. He was in heaven and he can't get back in by repenting. He is upset with God that he loved us so much that he gave us the opportunity to eternal life.
So what about the part of god being all powerful. If that's the case then you can't blame any of this on the devil. What about the part of god being all loving? If that's the case you can't blame this on anyone but god. What about the part of god being all merciful? All knowing? Unchangable? etc. etc. etc.
You are forgetting that God gave man free will to do wrong or right. I don't know who hacked my page and wrote that stupid remark before this one, but it want work. God is loving and man is doing it to themselves by letting the devil control them. He can't stop you from doing wrong if you want to, but he gives you the right way, but if you choose the devil way he want stop you it's your free will.
When you sin it is not God job to stop what man is doing. It is his job to let you know that what you did was wrong and show you what you should have done. If you choose to live like the devil that is your free will.
And God's free will for letting it happen. Like a person who walks by someone beating another person for no good reason and just telling them that they shouldn't be doing that. Except for that God has even more power than the passerby.
the devil is the god of this world and prince of the air. He has the power to control and make people do what he wants, because they turned their free will over to him. If God would step in than it wouldn't be free will. The devil try to get you to question God, because of the devil wrongful acts.
If that's true, then it's only true because God allowed it to be. Again, God allowed such evil to exist. If he was all powerful, he should have been able to allow freewill to exist without this sort of thing happening, but he chose not to. He allowed this evil to happen.
God have confident that his people want allow the devil to deceive them. If God stepped in to correct the problem than it's not free will. No, you disobedience humans allow evil to exist. If the world live according to the bible, we wouldn't have these problems.
So God's incapable of creating free will while at the same time not allowing evil to enter the world? If so, then it sounds like he's not all-powerful to me.
It sounds like you're a idiot and sound like your train of thought comes strait from the devil. I will let God answer those question for you when you see him face to face while the devil laugh at you for acting like him.
Yea I know it's deep; I'm satisfied with it that way - not the vengeful obey-me-or-die God.
