If god is all powerful...?

Question

why couldnt he just program christianity into our brains instead of sending his son down to do it for him?

Answer 1

Because He didn't "program" us to be robots.

Answer 2

Making one thing clear before answering: I don't believe in religion. But Im not saying I hate it either.
When you mean our do you mean everybody in this world?
I think that would offend people of other religion.
God didn't make Christianity. It's something a human being made up, same as any religion.
In the other question I thought you mentioned that you're an atheist.
Why do you want to know about Christianity?
Why program Christianity?
Are you interested in this religion or something?
By the way Jesus is a human being. I wonder why people refer to him as god though. Even Buddhism, a statue referred to as god is also a human being from the past time. I thought this whole "God takes the form of a human being" stuff was already proven wrong.
If he did exist he would have no form. He is just an existance, a conscience. Not a life, nor death. That's why he is immortal! He has no life to take from in the first place.
He never caused anything. He's just watching waiting to see what we would do next. He sees all organisms as the same thing. Otherwise the so called "He is equal to all" statement would be false. I mean equal to all his creations, and humans are deffinitely not the only ones. Besides there is no way he would lend a hand to species who view themselves as the dominant. He'd rather help the weak and the helpless. Like plants and animals. They're the ones with the purist hearts.
He sees everything as one unlike the human beings that sees one thing as a whole and forget about the rest.
He has much bigger view, a perspective, a heart, a mind then anybody can imagine. Try being like that.
Stop living in a small world called religion. This also goes for atheism. Just forget about everything.
Live your own life without getting caught by anything.
Make your own decision without the help of anyone.
I bet that's what God wants the most. Being able to live your life freely.
Holy wars
Terrorism
Assasination
All caused because of religion. So sad.
September 11 would've never happened if Osama wasn't so religious.

Answer 3

if he programed something into our brains we have no purpose
and you better watch what you say... IF god is powerful? hunnny god IS powerful
let's look at these people who didnt think god was powerful

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and
poet):

During a show in Canecï¯ ( Rio de Janeiro ),
whilst smoking his cigarette, he
puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God,
that's for you." He died at
the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic

After the construction of Titanic, a reporter
asked him how safe the Titanic
would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even
God can sink it" The result:
I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

Marilyn Monroe

She was visited by Billy Graham during a
presentation of a show. He said the
Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After
hearing what the Preacher
had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A
week later, she was found
dead in her apartment.

Bon Scott:

The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979
songs he sang: "Don't stop
me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway
to hell". On the 19th of
February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had
been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas/SP IN 2005

In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk,
went to pick up a friend.. The
mother accompanied her to the car and was so
worried about the drunkenness of
her friends and she said to the daughter - holding
her hand, who was already
seated in the car: "My Daughter, Go With God And
May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The
Trunk, Cause Inside
Here...It's Already Full"
Hours later, news came by that they had been
involved in a fatal accident,
everyone had died, the car could not be recognized
what type of car it had
been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The
police said there was no way
the trunk could have remained intact. To their
surprise, inside the trunk was
a crate of eggs, none were broken.

Christine Hewitt: a Jamaican Journalist and
entertainer,Christine Hewi (Word
of God) was the worst book ever written, in June
2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her
motor vehicle.

many more important people have forgotten that
there is no other name that was
given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many
have died, but only Jesus
died and rose again, and he is still alive.

do u have a different opinion now? hope so!

Answer 4

FREE WILL, the freedom to choose, based on faith, not absolute proof, because without faith you can't have love. It's neat when archeology and earth science can prove events recorded in the Bible could or did happen and named places or people are proven to have existed, but it doesn't change the faith issue. But darned if the pesky miracles of timing and chance don't just blunder into supporting this "faith" for many people. You just have to accept everyone has the freedom to choose what they want to believe. I believe in being a wise *** whenever opportunity presents itself, if it makes someone stop and think with a different perspective, all the better. Knowing there is no reason we exist, no purpose, and then we die like last summer's petunia and rot, that really doesn't inspire people beyond their own selfish immediate desires. If telling people there is reward in the next life for trying to make this life a better one for all, is dishonest or wrong, I'd say there are a lot worse tricks to play on humanity than decieving them into good behaviour. I'm not trying to convert anyone, I'm just saying the ten commandments and the "golden rule" make a good basis for any moral code or government. According to the story, Jesus Christ came to refine the faith as in thousands of years repetition it needed correction or explanation. There are worse things you could believe as a guiding light in your life. Is every church full of hypocryts? Probably, but so is Walmart, and we all go there.

Answer 5

Instead of programing Christianity into our heads he gave us free will

Answer 6

Without question, Christianity is not perfect. God did program us with a part of himself though and that part of us looks like him, it is the human spirit. Our spirit is connected to our nervous system and our nervous system teaches us right from wrong. Religion really doesn't matter.

Answer 7

Exactly, this is what christians fail to realize on a daily basis! Either god screwed up while creating us (which is impossible for a perfect being to do), or he doesn't exist.


The answer is in my post, look really hard.

Answer 8

I have often wondered why he would have to go to that extreme also, but you forget god is one ,the trinity,if you think about it this way he really sacrificed himself mmmmmmmmm alot to ponder on! he wants us to decide for ourselves,like with adam and eve he told her not to eat of the fruit,but temptation over ruled,so THUS began the change of everything.maybe god had to make a statement for people to cleave to him and stay clear of the evil temptress or temptor.ldp

Answer 9

confused...What more do you want Him to do for you....He Died for you...And you take that in vane...Read your Bible and find out for yourself WHO pleaded with God to save the Human race ....So if you dare keep Questioning Why...God. Call some who have turned own God and kept challenging Him...And see what Life is like for them...And you are going to die one day You Can Ask Him YOUR-self.....All your answers Can be found in the Book Of Life.....God bless you God bless us All And Israel

Answer 10

Really.

Believers just don't get it that you can't have an omniscent, omnipotent god AND free will.

I saw a website last night saying 'God would prefer that Hell be completely empty' Uhm...no, he wouldn't because if that was his preference then he would have made it so.

Answer 11

Because God is in our hearts. He wants us to know him and understand him on our level of understanding. He didn't send his son down to teach us, he sent himself in the form of flesh to sacrafice for us. Just think, everything pain you endure in your life would be 20x's worse......What he did was give us a choice.
