If God is All-Mighty and All-Knowing, then what makes certain Churches believe that Lucifer (or Satan) completely ruined God's plan? Wouldn't have God already known that Adam & Eve would partake of the fruit like Satan wanted them to?

God put Adam & Eve on the earth for a reason...to "replenish the earth." He put man on earth to gain knowledge and experience. Adam & Eve were in paradise before eating the fruit. They didn't know happiness. They didn't know sadness. They didn't know right from wrong or good from bad. When Adam & Eve ate the fruit, they felt sadness. They knew what it was like to not feel happiness.

This was a part of God's plan. God used Lucifer as a key element to making His plan come to life. There is no such thing as Original Sin. Man isn't cursed. Man only curses himself if he chooses to, which is why God gave His children free agency, or the ability to choose right/wrong.

Man must endure trials to overcome weakness and gain testimony and faith.

are you a false prophet? Is the sin yours or your pastor's (or priest's)? See Jeremiah 23 in KJV.

time to recononise it. The other books, which were exluded must also be considered and some currently in be excluded, so that we can have a balanced bible, with less controversies?

this God who knows everything, knows we dont believe him due to the millions of religions out there, and the inability to decipher which is the true one when they all claim the same claim. why would he send us to hell when he knows why we dont believe and refuses to do anything about it?

if u know why your car is about to break and refuse to fix it, should u send your car to the junkyard when it finally breaks (why not take action and fix the problems...)? (bad analogy but u get the point... if ur smart enough..)

if Jesus did have brothers wouldn't Jesus give mary to his brothers rather then his disciple who was not his brother?

Paul never been a part of Jesus(PBUH) teachings yet he is trying to teach christianity.

He always argue with fellow christians. Christians at that time never believe on salvation of Jesus(PBUH) and Jesus(PBUH) as the son of God.

Paul destroy christianity by creating Trinity


That's the reason now there are trinitarian and non-trinitarian christians.

if bad people equal to good people and everyone has been forgiving as Jesus die for ur sins as you claim, then what was the point of asking for forgiviness and repent your sins. then what was the point of Jesus getting crossified?

othewise you are just doing it "to be nice" not because you have to, therefore anyone can do any sin or crime he wishes to do and get away with it anyway.

why do people worship false idols? do you believe most people are relieved of false idol worship-- not just in realizing their disappointment, but finding a god who is worthy of their devotion. it seems to me esp when they worship musicians and actors, all the musicians and actors do is take money from the poor souls wallet and give nothing much in return but emptiness? what do you think?.

She claimed God impregnated her, but it was actually an angel (perhaps the angel pretended to be god), and she had a child, who she wouldnt claim was from an angel in fear of the pharisees finding and killing her son, (nephilim are "evil" to god)...

Genesis 6 says nephilim are "heroes of old" and "men of renown"
whats to say that Jesus got the recessive gene for being small, so he was normal sized but still had traits of nephilim.

would the other nephilim make fun of him for being so short?
and would christians be destined to hell for worshipping something other then god?

Were you in need of money?
How did you receive the money?

(I wanted to teach my oldest daughter about the law of tithing one summer while at the beach. We prayed and gave a $20. at the offering. Later that day we found a $20 on the shore.)

create parallel universes, each one very similar to this one, but changing a little in each. perhaps in another parallel universe he is the god of a different religion and christianity is the false one, perhaps he picks and choose which religion he wants to be the god of for each parallel universe?

what do you think one of your other selves are doing right now?

In the Bible it says that a pesron should be baptised when they have accepted Jesus as their savior and have given their heart to him. But Babies are to young to make decisions like this, and in the Bible it says nothing of making the decision for a person(or child) or baptising babies.

After all we know that during his life he miraculously fed at least 9000 (5000 + 4000) multitudes. So is there any indication whether he was actually allowed to enter hell and if so, how many people did he rescue?

When I asked this question to my pastor before I became agnostic, he called my mother and told her that I needed Jesus.

If it is indeed true that God watches over the elderly, babies, and fools, and that he gives all people knowledge of Christianity and his love and leaves the decision to follow it to us, riddle me this: Suppose I were to take a newborn baby and place them in a windowless, lightless room void of any communication or media whatsoever for 23 years. After the 23 years pass, I return to the room with a bat and I begin to beat the now-grown subject senseless. If in those 23 years, God were to miraculously come down and shine his light on the baby (who has no knowledge of any language at all) then, in essence, the person would beg to GOD for thier life, and pray to GOD that I would stop, right?

close, genetically, to Adam, right? I've read that close relatives smell bad to each other to discourage incest, and the problems it causes. How would they be able to tolerate each other long enough to go about the business of *ahem* founding the human race?

Well I mean think about it....The Jews started the whole thing...but they weren't the first religion. they just made the religion Monotheistic rather then Polytheistic...then as time passed, Judiasm formed into Christianity...then christianity started branching off into different denominations from people who didn't agree with the original ways. I mean from Catholics came protestants and Puritains, came baptists and Methodists ect. Now as even more time passed we have people who take it to a whole new extreme based on the beliefs of a few...Mormoms and Jehovas witness's ect. Do people seem to notices that as the more time passes the more the beliefs change to fit a certain groups individual belief system? I mean i was a mormon until I paid attention to how it all started. What do you all think?

Then he obviously knew that satan was going to tempt man from the very beginning, and he knew that we were going to fail the test, so why didn't he wipe everything clean and start over?

You like to talk about how earth's perfection and beauty can't come about by chance. How could the perfection of God come about by chance then? He must have been created by the higher God. Shouldn't you be going right to the top with your worshipfullness instead of to the branch manager?
