Are you going to get back to me about my question of the bible being inspired by God or have you given up on that?

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

I would say Buddhism is far more unique than Christianity as there is no sacred or holy entity to be worshiped in Buddhism. There is no God and it doesnt even really espouse the supernatural at all. For you to claim that Buddhism says the same thing as Islam is flat out false as the teachings are v...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Mag, You are complaining about not having your questions answered. (Although you admit no answer will suffice) I do appreciate you sharing your story. Just to put if candidly, you sound misrerable. So, how is this new worldview working out for you? How does it better answer the question of sufferin...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

How do I know that an invisible, make believe being, that never talks to us or shows himself isnt preventing some suffering? Gee, I guess I dont know for sure. Maybe Im not starving to death right now because God is watching over me. So what makes me any more special that God is preventing me from ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

This may seem weird but I dont think there is an argument that could convince me that a good and allpowerful God would justifiably allow suffering and evil. Its like listening to someone trying to convince you why slavery was a good thing. I would just like to say that if I seem bitter, it is becaus...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Evil and suffering are my only objections to the existence of God.

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Not accepting answers does not mean you are not open to discussing them. I could give you answers on why the American slavery system was a good thing. That doesnt mean you have to accept them and you being unconvinced by my answers does not mean you were not open to discussion. Do you understand th...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Paul, I would sincerely expect a book inspired by God and intended by God to be his lone means of communicating his desires to us, to not be plagued by such petty nuisances as language, metaphor, idioms, and translation. If there is one thing that God should have ensured we would be able to trust t...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Mag, you say you "used to be a Christan." I'm curious to learn more about what you mean by that. If you genuinely used to be something, what did it mean to be one, and how did you 'un' be it? By that I mean I used to believe that Jesus came to Earth and died for the sins of humanity, that...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

It seems that Mag is getting replies to his answers, He just doesn't want to accept them. Which is fine and is his prerogative of course. But based on that, what exactly is going on here? None of these questions that Mags posts are new and if he had wanted to search for the typical answers to them ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

I am sorry Leo, but I am going to have to call you out on this and ask you to defend these statements you have made. There are more plausible indicators of a local flood than a global one. God did not wipe out all humanity, just a specific region and there are quite a number of reasons why that hap...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

I simply dont find the arguments presented very compelling. Mag, me dear, This is precisely what I have been trying to show you all along that your argument is flawed to begin with. You are taking liberties to ascertain God (even for the sake of the argument) to fit a certain criteria you deem best...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

MAGSolo » Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:28 am Well it probably should be how you actually conduct your life that matters and not arbitrarily believing in an invisible being that never speaks, never shows himself, and gives 50/50 responses to prayers that you could just as easily get by praying to a frog or a...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

@ mag im very sorry that you feel the way that you do but in my post i did state there is a lot of evidence that points to the legitimacy of the Bible if you are willing to take the time to do the research. For you to make accusations against the Bible when you have not taken the time to do the res...
