ride on shinobi!

God no matter what exist... but existed in my thoughts and heart... char!

kung naay bida naay kontra bida!!!...

God let all this thing to happen because he has a plan....
and this plan is his economy...
all of this things can be found only in the bible.

hmm... let all things happen? so he will let evil happen. so he is not the absolute concept of what good is.

a plan? was it part of his plan that humanity has to suffer? is he not omnicient and sees the future? can he let us suffer for the things we have not yet done at the time before the supposed creation? will he not do anything in his power to save us from the damnation that is impening? will he not use his omnipotence to rid the world of evil?

bible... what about the gods of the hindu ( not in the bible )? gods of the maya, aztec, olmec, anasazi, north american indians, incas ( not n the bible )? what about confucian thoughts, taoist gods, buddhism, shinto rites ( not in the bible )? what about the writings in qur'an and the torah (someof which are conradictory to what the bible has to offer)?

it is as if we are taking in that the only expalantion of heaven and earth in matters of religion and belief is that only of the bible. we fail to discount that the teachings of the bible is one of the many contradicting beliefs and teachings of the divine and the supernatural. so the writings of the bible is Truth? so the rest of the explanations are False? unacceptable.

God did not create evil,... though he knows that lucifer chose to become satan.
he's righteouss, so he let people and even lucifer decide which path he took.

angels have free will then? ( rather reminiscent of 'city of angels' dont u think? )

Lucifer, an angel, had free will. That's mainly the reason why he was able to rebel against God.

Creating people with no free will would be tantamount to training pets or assembling robots to do just whatever He wants.

What do you call Lucifer's rebellion then? Do you think he did that on God's command? Hell no! It was a decision fueled up by his pride.

that's a wrong definition for Atheists. books like that shouldnt be published. haha

Atheists are simply people who deny the existence of God.
how can they thank someone who they don't think exists in the first place?

Re: why did God create evil?

nano man? onsai tanaw ninyo>.

Yes! God created evil...

Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create the darkness:
I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD
do all these things.

Why?

Evil was created when God defined what good is.

God said what he wanted people to do and that what
he wanted, that is good, not evil. And to go against
what God wants, that's defined as sin, or evil.

So by God merely defining what is good, evil appeared
at the same time, since it'd then be possible to go
against what God said was good... to then do evil.

God made it all, Jesus died for our sins.

hmm... if he did had free will, where did the concept of 'rebellion' and 'evil' that he suddenly thought of came from?
