What exactly are God's limits?

Question

He seems to be able to cure cancer, but he only does it to some people. Is that because He has a too busy schedule?

He seems to be able to cure a lot of deseases, but never amputees. Is that too difficult for Him?

He seems to have created Love, but He couldn't create it without Hate as an opposite.

Is God really this limited? For an all-powerfull being He seems kinda disabled in His actions to me...

Answer 1

Imagination has no limits.

Answer 2

God doesn't have any limits, but he has a nature, and a plan. Anything that looks like a limitation is probably due to the nature of God and what his plans are. Is your car dirty? If your car is dirty does it mean you can't clean it? It may mean many things, maybe you are going to clean it tomorrow when you fill up your gas. So God has a time, and a place, and a plan for everything. God did not invent Hate, but he gave us the free will to hate, or lie or cheat. Time will come when there will be no more hate. Why is he taking so long? Because the day that he ends all that is described as "that great and terrible day of judgement". God is not looking forward to that day, so he's delaying it until all that accept Jesus as his saviour can be saved. God is all powerfull, but not all controlling. He is in control, and will intervene, but he allows things to take thier course. I wouldn't be surprised if God has healed an amputee. In the Bible Peter cut off the ear of a soldier, and Jesus put it back on.

Answer 3

God gives us a life where we are permited agency. When we make choices we learn and grow. There is opposition, there is illness and there is death. If God eliminates them we gain nothing from life.

One is cured and another isn't, but both need a blessing. In both we have opportunities to serve others. My friend's father suffered a stroke. After a year of hardship for the family he is only marginally better. Why is this good man and his family suffering? I look at how his family, friends and church have responded. I know that Heavenly Father has strengthened them all and given blessings that will last more than a lifetime.

Having the power and using the power wisely is not being limited or disabled.

Answer 4

All you have to do is read the beginnng of Genesis to figure out that God has no limits. Your questions seem to have two possible solutions - either God does something or He doesn't. It's not quite that simple. Because God is a loving God, He chose to give us free will. Giving us free will opened the door to sin. Living in an imperfect world causes turmoil, problems, chaos, misery, hate, etc. If you truly want an answer to this question, satisfy your curiosity and read the Bible. See how limited you think He is when you're done.

Answer 5

The e book of Revelations is the revelation of what's to come back interior the destiny. God did no longer have a appropriate conflict with devil like we people do. you're questioning of conflict in a human innovations and not aa religious innovations. The Lake of hearth will exist interior the top as quickly as we are all judged via God and that's the place you visit be destroyed (hell). The conflict of Armageddon will ensue marvelous until now Christ returns and marvelous until now we are all replaced into our religious physique. After armageddon Christ returns and devil is beneficial for one thousand years so as that there is not any unfavorable impression on us and self-discipline will study at that element (we can be in our spirit physique in this time). After the single thousand years devil would be enable lose for a quick time to objective us as quickly as extra and than after that God's judgment will initiate. God's plan is proper and maximum serious honest. in case you have a unfastened keen coronary heart to do stable and love God than you besides would have a unfastened keen coronary heart to do evil. there is not any determination yet to objective us all to make certain what's in our coronary heart, stable or evil. Very logical. Even at college you're examined until now you graduate.

Answer 6

I think God has a purpose for everything. I think He doesn't cure all cancer patients or sick people in general because people are supposed to die, if He healed everyone, the world would be greatly overpopulated. And He doesn't always work just simply through miracles. A lot of the things He does are through science. This may seem ironic seeing as how most people think of science as the opposite of God, but He is the one who made science and medicine and a lot of times He chooses to work through that. God does a lot of things that cannot be explained or makes Him seem like He is too busy or doesn't care. That is partially because we are supposed to not understand His ways, that is why it is called faith. We have faith in Him although we don't always understand or agree. That is what shows Him that we really believe. Also sometimes people need to go through hardships so they can learn or so the people around them can learn and grow.

Answer 7

The ideal God has no limit, but our imagination is very limited when the religion is first created. The pope and priests didn't think hard and far into what God is capable of. They simply said the God is omnipotent, without giving any good explaination. They cannot define what God can do, so they leave this difficult task for you all to think of. Anything you come up with, they add that to God's power.
In fact God does have limits. He cannot kill himself.

Answer 8

God has no limits. We do. All healing requires believing on the part of the one ministering and the one receiving healing. When Jesus Christ healed he always checked for the level of believing and when it was not enough, he would work with their believing to the point that it was enough.

I have hear of and seen many miracles and healings. My mother was healed of rhumatiod arthritus (sorry, speeling probs there).
She was virtually a cripple. Then some belivers came and ministered to her. She and they believed God for the healing and she went ot bed a cripple and woke up the next day completely healed. Rhumatoid Arthritus is an incurable disease. But she even had no sign of it in the blood. (A miracle). The hospital checked and even they were amazed.

But all healing requires beleiving. As do all of God's miracles, raising from the dead, etc. Always believing is required. The bible calls it faith but faith means trust, confidence and believing depending on the context.

That is why it has failed for some people. Their beleiving needs working with to the point that they receive the healing.

Answer 9

First, I will address you details.

No, not everyone recieve the same "gifts." It does seem more likely that bone will not be affected and also that avoiding limb loss is His prefered method. Some people may need "gifts" to have faith, or to make it through a test.

There is no hate in heaven. You could say that man created hate out of frustration.

God appears to allow free will. God has told us some of His limits and otherwise defined certain things about Himself. Many of His aspects are Limitless. He appears to lack evil. He appears to have Peace. He appears to be Loving.

Answer 10

I believe that, according to Christians, God cannot sin, change, or cease to exist. I think that's about it. It would seem that this Christian idea of a god makes no sense, but the fact of the matter is that if you have "faith" (which there is no good reason to have, so I don't) and accept just a few basic ideas about the Christian god, every action and inaction of God's makes sense (from that point of view, which is really very messed up). So while I disagree with Christians, I do accept that from their perspective, it makes (a strange twisted sort of) sense.

Answer 11

the bible says that it is by YOUR FAITH THAT YOU ARE HEALED! And he is love before he ever created hate! And only here in America where there is no faith do we see amputees grow new limbs, but it does happened in the other parts of the world! And if you think God is helpless you need to read your bible and see what he has ALL READY DONE and what he is doing now! And how this world is going to wind up the end of the ages! Believe me He is in complete control!
