Answer 2

Jeff...you're good. Omniscient (all-understanding) and loose-will are incompatible logically with a benevolent god. If he's conscious you'll turn from him (which he ought to, considering he's conscious each little thing), then it truly is cruel for him to have created you. Conversely, if he's conscious you'll turn to him, the full try is amazingly unnecessary. Regardless, considering he's conscious both way, loose will is moot. (For an engaging take of loose will, examine "Timequake" by Kurt Vonnegut). Now there are some loopholes that could restore this logical challenge, yet maximum Christians don't like them: a million. God is merely not omniscient, and would not understand what you'll do. Christians hate this because it makes God a lot less god-like, and it does contradict the bible. 2. God is merely not benevolent. even as it truly is in step with the bible (fairly the former testomony, yet in truth many of the recent), present day day Christians have a tendency now to not merely like the idea of a bullish "might want to-makes-good" style of god. the instantly ahead argument used by Christians is that god's good judgment would not be conscious to us, so we do not understand how he does what he does. If it truly is real, then how will we probably make a rational decision to settle for him or doubt him? considering he's inherantly irrational (As Christians declare), then any attempt to both settle for or reject him is likewise irrational, considering there is no foundation for the kind of decision. This argument also makes Yahweh a "might want to-makes-good" god, considering lower than this "nonlogical" idea, we do not stick with Gods guidelines because we comprehend them, settle for the, and understand them, yet quite because if we do not God will kick the tar out human beings. you've suggested a imperative logical challenge with omniscience...once the Christianity, regrettably, can't answer in a rational way.

Answer 3

Because their mother is a crack addict, their not sure who their father is but pretty sure he's either Mom's ex-boyfriend who is in jail for beating her, the guy Mom trades sex with for drugs, or one of Mom's tricks, they don't have any food at home, they live in a filthy, rat-infested government funded apartment, they have never had a birthday party, a birthday cake or even a "Happy Birthday", they hate Summer because they're out of school and don't get a free breakfast and lunch so they're always hungry, their brother was beaten and burned with cigarettes last night for bothering Mom, they're scared of the rats in the place behind the dumpster where they hide when their dad is beating their mom, they've been in six different schools by the second grade because they keep being evicted and having to move, and they pray every night to God for his help, or at least to know what they did wrong to deserve this, and for daddy to quit hitting momma and to help their little sister who hasn't talked or even smiled since momma got mad and shook her so hard. It's either believe he doesn't exist or hate him for being there and watching all this happen, having the power to make everything better but doing nothing to help, all the while saying how much he loves us.

Do you not know about global warming? It is a natural occurance being accelerated by humans. Did you know that at one time there were glaciers in what is now New York? Are you not aware of the suffering of the innocent? Did you know that an asteroid could hit this earth and destroy everything on it? In relation to the earths history modern man is a very very very small part of it all. I am too tired and sleepy to explain. Get an education.

Answer 5

the word of god explains in very good detail that satan was and is released here on this earth-- unrestained at this time--he tempts the people of this world and in this day and time most are won over by his temptations--look around you--war--drugs--theft--corrupt polititions---any evil or sinful thing you can think ofis out there in the open---espicially the corrupt governments of this world--they tell us we can;t worship god in schools and almost everywhere else---everyone see;s this every day of thier lives---when the leaders of a country show and demonstrate that god has no control in thier lives---to answer your question---why should the people.-------------god is real--as is his creation----his judgement is real--we will all- be judged---let the lord god lead you----not the governments.

Answer 6
