Religion & Spirituality - 21 February 2007

Okay here's who I am the one to question God.

I am the one he gave free will in order to come to him on my own. I can't do this unless I question his existence, and his motives, and his love. If He wanted me to be a mindless sheep, he would have made me a mindless sheep. Instead I am an independant, intelligent being with the ability to question God.

Unfortunately, he's never answered me.....never.

I hope that answers the question I (and many others) have got countless times. Now maybe you can actually answer the questions on here.

the word son in the Bible does not mean son as we understand today, the word son in the Bible means "an honor servent to God", Jesus is one of them which happend to born by a miracle for a sign to the childrean of Israel who were too stubborn to believe.

Adam the Son of God?
Luke 3:38
.... which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Sollomon is the Son of God?
1 Chronicles 22:10
He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father.....

David is the Son of God?
2 Samuel 7:14
I will be his father, and he shall be my son.....

Psalms 89:27
"Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth"

Israel is the son of GOd?
Exodus 4: 22
"…Israel is my son, even my firstborn".

Jeremiah 31:9
"…For I (God) am a Father to Israel, and E’-phra-im is my firstborn."

son of God?
Matthew 8:29

Assuming he did have brothers and sisters, they must have had children,

these people went on to have children and they are all distantly related to Jesus, right?

The term "Son of God" is used all over the Bible referring to people other than Jesus, check out the following verses:
‘"…the son of Enoch, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.”’ LUKE 3:38
‘"…that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose."’ GENESIS 6:2
‘"Then you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is My son, My firstborn."’ EXODUS 4:22
‘"…For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn."’ JEREMIAH 31:9
‘"For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."’ ROMANS 8:14
So how come Christians don't regard those people as Gods, the way they regard Jesus (peace be upon him)?

I'm assuming the gist of this theory is if you don't believe in a certain religion, you're doomed to whatever than religion holds for non-believers (ie. Hell for some Christians), so what have you got to lose... is this correct?

If I am correct, then how can someone actually *believe* in their religion if they are worshipping in that mindset (oh well, what have I got to lose?) It seems false to me. Not trying to spark debate, I just want to know if my understanding is correct.

O you, who are blaming the world, who have been allured and enticed by it, and have been tempted by its false pretenses. You allowed yourself to be enamored of, to be captivated by it and then you accuse and blame it. Have you any reason or right to accuse it and to call it a sinner and seducer? Or is the world not justified in calling you a wicked knave and a sinning hypocrite? When did it make you lose your intelli- gence and reasoning? And how did it cheat you or snake false pretenses to you? Did it conceal from you the fact of the ultimate end of everything that it holds, the fact of the sway of death, decay and destruction in its domain? Did it keep you in the dark about the fate of your fore- fathers and their final abode under the earth? Did it keep the resting-place of your mothers a secret from you? Do you not know that they have returned to dust? Many a time you must have attended the sick persons and many of them you must have seen beyond the scope of medicine. Neither the science of healing nor could your nursing and attendance nor your prayers and weeping prolonged the span of their lives, and they died. You were anxious for them, you procured the best medical aid, you gathered famous physicians and provided best - medicines for them. Death could not be held back and life could not be pro- longed. In this drama and in this tragedy did the world not present you with a lesson and a moral?

How come his creation isn't?

His first two intelligent creations couldn't follow the most simplest of instructions. (Apple)

His fourth creation didn't know that it was wrong to kill.

Now he has created let's say 12 billion humans, and I'm sure that 12 billionth human will still have problems. I'm sure he or she will still have design flaws like having the same pipe for air and food.

Perfect beings do nothing short of perfection by definition, have you seen this Earth. I dare you to even show me one thing (Jesus doesn't count since he is God*) that God has made that IS perfect.

The best I can do is a circle, and even that isn't perfect because pi is an infinite number.

* When asked on here, and researched on the Internet it seems more Christians believe Jesus is God, so I'm going with that.

I am a devout Christian and i was wondering that if i joined the army and was fighting terrorists and my friend beside me was hit by a weapon and it burnt his face off, melted his eyeballs, ripped his lower jaw off and exposed his skull...but he was still alive and was screaming in pain, would God be mad if i euthanized him????

i know God says "thou shalt not kill" but everyone seems to think hes ok with us killing terrorists and nazis in ww2, so why should he not be ok with mercy killing in a situation where a friend is disfigured and in pain?
