Evidence for God from Science

According to the bible only God can be good because the bible says something to the extent of "none are good but the Lord" or something like that. What is the precise meaning of God's goodness? What traits and characteristics make him good? Remade the thread since my last one was derailed ...

Thanks for derailing the thread Seems to be a common ruse when you cant answer a hard question You have been very useless

You are the only one making a fool of yourself with your complete lack of basic reading comprehension

You are confused. I said "according to the bible only God is good...so what is the precise meaning of Gods goodness? Its right there clear as day in the first post. Not my problem you dont have the aptitude for basic reading comprehension. When I said what qualities and characteristics make som...

I never said who is good, I said what does goodness mean. I dont know where you possibly see that I asked who is good, but If english isnt your first language then maybe there is a language barrier issue that is causing your confusion. The bible says only God is good. The question is what does goodn...

If you dont even have the aptitude to understand a basic question like this, I dont think you will be much help, so ill just wait for someone else to answer.

well yes, that is mostly what I believe. So for me to understand why christians consider God to be good, its important to understand what goodness means to you in the first place. What qualities and characteristics make someone good?

So God didnt know Adam and Eve would disobey him and eat the fruit he told them not to eat?

According to the bible only God can be good because the bible says something to the extent of "none are good but the Lord" or something like that. What is the precise meaning of God's goodness? What traits and characteristics make him good?

God created the world, created Adam and Eve knowing full well they would sin, and knew it would bring evil into the world because...thats wha...

fact: if the bible is the word of God and God is good, he would have explicitly stated somewhere in the bible that the institution of slavery was evil. People keep saying that it was different in those times but we all know that if you have a child and let them get away with little things, they will...

Outlaw, You are looking at the ANE through 21st century glasses. We need to be careful comparing the way it was in the ANE, t...

Outlaw, remember it was mankind who was making use of slaves. God just gave the rules by which they should be treated. So basically slavery is okay as long as you follow certain guidelines laid down by God. This is what you are saying right? Its not wrong to own people as slaves, its just wrong to ...
