If we believe that God is both benevolent and omnipotent, don't we also have to believe that he is incredibly lazy? I mean, otherwise, every evil in the world would be wiped out.

Even though it is written in the bible that Jesus was a Jew, it seems to be contradicted by the fact that the Jews themselves don't believe in him. Does this mean that Jesus was a Christian, as Christianity says that he did exist as a holy leader, instead of a Jew? And what made the Jews change their minds if they believed he was the son of God initially? Or might he just have never existed at all?

Bartholo said "No Master, I pray thee, for he stinketh." Jesus resurrected him anyway, and how did they get Lazarus to stop stinking?
Bonus Question: Did Jesus later try to hush up the story, cause it was too sensational?

There is one fate for all, and people’s are full of evil; while they have life their minds are foolish, and after that--to the grave. The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and have no more memory. Their love and their hate and their envy are now ended; and they have no longer a part forever in anything that is done under the sun. Eat, drink, and be merry. Wear fine clothes and cologne or perfume. Live happily with your sweetheart all the days of your life under the sun because that is your part in life and in your work that you do under the sun. With whatever comes to hand, do with all your power. Do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the grave to which you are going.

The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting him when temped, surrendering while suffering, and loving him when he seems distant.

Given that most male three-toed sloths spend their entier lives in one tree, can somebody please answer the following:

1. What caused a male three-toed sloth to voluntarily migrate from South America to the Middle East for the purpose of boarding Noah's Ark?

2. By what means did that sloth cross the Atlantic Ocean?

3. After the flood was over what caused the three-toed sloth to return to South America?

And if your answer to all these questions involves the hand of God then please answer this additionanl question: Why didn't God just cause a self-inflating rubber raft to appear under the sloth instead of having it go halfway around the world?

Thanks in advance.

- you believe that having respect and treating others kindly will bring you to heaven - and that religious belief is not a criteria.

Does the fact that Newton, Kepler, Huygens and Copernicus were Xtian make them weak minded individuals? Are they worthy of your scorn?

If we(humans)made intelligent robots able to think for themselves and stuff;and in an alternate universe or deminsion we make robotic planet,stars,solar systems ect.Basically everything we have here except its robotic.We put all kinds of things in the robo world for our intelligent free-will robots to have and enjoy.Now after all that,we(the creators)leave some subtle clues for the robots to find to figure out that there are humans that created them.
But then along thier existence in this seperarate universe,they have figured out some,not a lot but some how we(the creators)made thier world they live in.So they get big heads and become prideful.They adopt the idea thier is no creator(s)and they made themselves;or that their random accidents.
We can see them and everything they do and say;but they cant see us becuase we reside in a different deminsion.

Question:Are the robots justified in believing there s no creator(s) cause they cant immediately percieve us?Evan thoug we left them

A lot of people on here seem to think this is happening "soon", or that we are already in the "end times", so (I assuming) you think it will happen in your life time.

Does this change your approach to life? Are you still planning your education, working on a career, paying off the motgage, sending the children to school or whatever?

I'm interested.

PS I don't believe in it, by the way, hence the question.

"father forgive me for they do not know what they do" this was said by jesus in the bible when he was dying on the cross so if jesus was god then why would he speak to his father in heaven? jesus was the "son" meaning he was of jehovah not of himself

The Watchtower Society teaches that only 144,000 (anointed) people go to heaven, the extras are part of the "great crowd" as spoken of in Revelation 7:9. However, Revelation 7:15 states that this "great crowd" are before the throne of God (heaven). Also Revelation 19:1 states "great crowd in heaven". So, the Watchtower Society teaches the great crowd will be on earth, but the New World Translation and the Holy Bible says the great crowd is in heaven. How can this be explained?

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
