The existance of God

  • Eternal Life

    Well if you believe in God you must naturally believe in eternal life so he doesn’t murder anyone, this body is only temporary anyway, it was never designed to last forever!

  • God is only a word

    Our view of God has been completely screwed due to translation. God is said to be onmnipresent, all-knowing, just and the creator of life. Well God is no object and fits no human persona. God is the life energy running through everything that exists. Matter is the manifestation of this energy exponentially thus making the created the creators. The energy forms itself to learn and to experience itself in certain ways as to become the all-knowing entity we re-join (as if we even left) after death.

  • Mass Murderer????

    I understand that the finite mind of the creation cannot begin to grasp the infinite mind of the Creator. You calling him a mass murderer is a prime example of this fact.

  • CloudyVision Can SEE CLEARLY

    Just as Adam and Eve was created they lost the priviledge of everlasting life when the Most High saw that they would not obey. The first life was taken after the fall by Cain who went away to the land of Nod where the people were skilled at making weapons. These weapons are the very things that are destroying the nations…not the people. God only seemed to want the destruction of his creation to cease. And anyone or anything that got in the way of that was destroyed. But more important to note: When Cain killed Able, not only did God not take his life, but he marked him so no one else would kill him either. When the Devil commenced to do his dirty work, God didn’t kill him, (yet), He cast him out of Heaven. When God noticed that a branch of the people were out doing harmful things (only God knows), He sent a flood to destroy all the people on the land, but he still didn’t get them all…out of compassion for his creation, Noah and his family survived. And when he realized that the people he chose to survive the line from Adam to Jesus, the Children of Israel disobeyed him, he didn’t destroy them, he punished them by making them slaves of a ruthless nation. All in all, God has tried over and over to save the people He created. Man has ever refused to get right. Even when he knows the consequences of making the mistake (“Do not eat of it, or surely you will die”), Man either blames God for his mistakes (“it was the woman you gave me”), Man blames Man “she tempted me and I did eat”) or Man blames it on worldly things (“it was the serpent”). This story is as old as time. God didn’t tell you to make weapons, put stuff in the food that makes us sick or just make food unnaturally (“every green thing bearing seed is good for food”), produce machinery that clogs up the air. What God made was good. Man made the mistake of choosing the easy out that turned it for bad. And that is what has happened to the masses. They chose not to listen so they have to pay the consequence. You, too, are no exception. And it isn’t to Man that Man should be listening, it’s to that Higher Power, that still, quiet voice. It isn’t to the world that Man owes a debt, it’s to God. Until it is paid, we will continue to fall under the fate of mortality. Stop being afraid to die…that is our fate and our destiny. Instead, embrace life and do all the good that you can while you can because your time here is short…blessed be.

  • A paradox of God's potential limitations

    I believe there is only one stream of time. Given that, if God knew everything that was going to happen, that would impose the condition on him that he could change nothing. If he did, that would create a paradox, because that which he knew would come to be would not have been predestined if he had changed the course of time to prevent the event. Therefore he would not have been able to predict it in the first place – a paradox.

    If God knew nothing of what was going to happen, then he could change whatever he wanted, only haphazardly. What good would that be? That’s pretty much the way that we humans operate.

    Does this mean that God is limited to either being less-than-omnipotent or less-than-omniscient, or that there is more than one stream of time.

  • IF there is a God

    Do you realize, he is the ultimate mass murderer, since every last person on this planet dies, and whether he instigated it or not, he sure doesn’t stop it. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Creation

    Is there a destiny/purpose for the human race? Will we ever realise or fully understand how and why the universe works?

  • To Duana's statement.

    In calling God a ‘mass murderer’ for not stopping people from dying is making two mistakes. The first is the mistake of not taking into account the human condition. Now, I ask you to follow very closely for this next part. We, as humans, are two things according to most people. We are free beings in that we can decide what we do and what we don’t do. We are also beings whom have chosen to do evil. This is where death first enters the picture. You see, death is nothing more than a separation. From our perspective, death is the separation of the spirit and the body. But we must now take into account what evil is. Evil is something that God is not and something that cannot be tolerated before Him. It is a separation from God. Therefore, we are dead to God in that we have freely done evil and caused a separation to occur. One might object to this by saying that if God does not tolerate evil, then there would be no evil in the world- that God would have done something about it. Well, to the one who says that, they are absolutely right. But in reading most religious accounts of God, particularly the Christian one, God has and is doing something about it. But the central focus of Christianity is that though God does not tolerate evil, His intent is to save as many as will be saved from it before the elimination of evil altogether. Now, what does all of this prove or show? Well, for one, it shows that we ourselves (that is the human race) are responsible for our own ultimate death (separation from God). If God refuses to allow this death to occur, He will restrain our free will which will make us merely automata. Under those circumstances, perhaps you would not call God a ‘mass murderer’ but a ‘slave driver’. In the end, neither of these prove to be true. As I stated before, there are two things that we must take into account in this argument. I’ve only expressed one. The second thing relates to your subjection of God. Can God do evil such as ‘mass murder’? You seem to think so. But I do not. And this is why. If my parents tell me to clean my room, then if I don’t do it, I am going against their desires, going against my authorities. Or as many like to say, I am sinning. If I kill someone for no reasons of self preservation, I am going against the governmental authorities. More so, from Scriptures we can gather that I am going against the will of God. So, again, I am sinning. As we can see, sin and evil can only exist when there is a higher authority to dictate them. By calling God a mass murderer, you are making one of two mistakes. You are either saying your judgement is higher and more authoritative than God’s, which is wrong. Or you are saying that there is a higher power than God, which is also wrong. Indeed, I do not believe God can sin. Every action He does is justified. But any action of His you would call wrong or evil, by whose standards to you judge? If they are by yours, then you are wrong. If they are by God’s, keep in mind that the only standard we know of is His for us. That standard does not necessarily apply to Him.
