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 happ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

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 cat. Which religion makes more sense...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

(Dan),,,Did you do any in depth research/study of any other religions like Islam or Buddhism? If so, what convinced you that those religions werent the ones to follow? I am sure he did so as did myself - the uniqueness of the message is a giveaway… The others say the same things. Only one does not....

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Why should I accept the Bible as the inspired word of God? To me it is nothing but a book written by men so why should I accept it as inspired by God and being a legitimate holy book? How do you know the Koran is not actually the Holy book inspired by God? It was addressed to you. You were using bi...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

You believe most likely because you were raised to believe and thats what it mostly boils down to. You are a product of your environment and nothing more. You dont believe because its particularly self evident to you, you believe for the exact same reason that Muslims believe in Allah and Islam. Yo...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

It was addressed to you. You were using bible verses so Im just asking why I should see the bible as anything more than a book written by men thousands of years ago. I dont see that as having a chip on my shoulder. I dont believe the bible was inspired by God so in order for anything in it to hold a...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

I came here to discuss the questions I asked in the OP. Did you read it? Where have I not been civil? And how do you know I dont have an open mind? I simply dont find the arguments presented very compelling. If I tried to convince you of the merits of child pornography the fact that I cant convince ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

How can you possibly claim to know what every individual on earth does all the time? Because that is the nature of man. Why is that our nature? I didnt say God does it, I asked why he doesnt do something about it. So why doesnt he? Because it interfer's with freewill. So what? why does that matter?...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

No, why do I need to concede this. Look at this picture again. Where is the love in this? How can you reasonably say God loves us and yet he permits stuff like this to occur? Im looking for a serious answer, either God has the power to prevent this kind of suffering or he doesnt. If he has the powe...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

If you think that there is no God and it is just us human beings taking care of that orphan child - I would ask you then how come you attribute goodness to humans and evil in the world to God? I think the capacity to do good and evil are just human characteristics. I dont attribute evil to God, I j...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Yep, every individual does it all the time. Even Christians ignore God because we are not perfect either. How can you possibly claim to know what every individual on earth does all the time? I am not going to get bogged down in if, but's and maybes. Maybe you should accept that it is not God doing ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

We were created with freewill and had the choice to choose, if we were created without freewill we would be robots not having the ability to think for ourselves. Maybe that would be better. I think it would be better if God had not created humans. The whole human race everyday that they don't recog...
