Re: The mystery of sin and God the Benevolent

He must have wanted us to experience evil for some reason, although he could have made a universe devoid of it altogether. If there is free will in Heaven then free will does not require evil and it makes it very ...

Re: Please rationalise Numbers 31 in light of a loving god?
In an earier post to this thread I mentioned that God was actually showing mercy by killing the having the Israelites kill the children of their enemies. The children were not murdered, just killed.

Re: The Exorcism Of Emily Rose
I think demon possession is merely psychological and physiological problems as well as chemical imbalances. Medical science has shown us different illnesses and diseases that exist that in the past were seen as possessions. Take for instance a simple dopamine deficiency or addiction. It could well p...

Re: Why did God take 4,000 years to bring in the New Covenant?
It could be argued that the time Jesus did come was not the best time. Wouldn't it have been so much more effiecient
