If God is omnipotent and omniscient, and the Creator of all things...?

Question

Why didn't he just 'create' a videocamera and allow the apostles to video tape the Crucifiction and resurection. Then the evidence would on youtube and Christians would win every argument on Y!A.

I mean, 66% of Earth's population rejects Jesus and accept other faiths/belief systems. Why wouldn't an all powerfull, all knowing God not want to make us 100% Christian?

Answer 1

Good point!

This god guy is so not omnipotent, so not omniscient, that Louis Pasteur has upstaged Jesus completely.

Just think--all of the bible miracles and Jesus put together, including dying on the cross (remember, EVERYBODY dies) can't hold a candle to even one of Pasteur's discoveries.

Let alone all of them.

Same is true for Jonas Salk, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, George Washington Carver, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison . . . . .

Answer 2

1/3 of 6 billion is 2 billion people. So that means that 2 billion people on Earth accept Christianity. I think that's pretty good don't ya think?

So what, if I may ask, are these "other" belief systems? Do they have 2 billion members? I doubt it. So you're 2/3 is divided up amongst themselves. Why don't you read some Plato or Aristotle and get the basics down first, then start to attach another person's theological belief system.

Answer 3

The Bible does say there are different gods. there is the god of solid success, the god of destiny, even Egypt had their gods. All are no longer so good as God although. This God is the God of Abraham. His call is chanced on interior the KJV of the Bible at Psalm 80 3:18 and a few different places in that version. yet interior the NWT this is there some 7,000 circumstances because it replaced into interior the unique textual content textile. there is lots confusion at present by using fact His call replaced into taken out of the Bible. His call is Jehovah. Le 19:4 do no longer turn yourselves to valueless gods, and you should no longer make molten gods for yourselves. i'm Jehovah YOUR God. 2 Co 4:4 between whom the god of this technique of issues(this being devil) has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the staggering solid information relating to the Christ, who's clone of God, ought to no longer shine by way of. there are a number of Scriptures that talk approximately different gods, of which none have the capital G. This denotes Jehovah God, the Almighty, our writer, the God of Abraham, Father to Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

Are you saying you believe everything you see on YouTube or in video or on film?

So do you believe that Star Wars is a documentary and those things really happened? Do you believe Luke Skywalker and Chewie are real?

People will deny Truth if they want to, even when it's staring them right in the face. Look at all the people - "Christians" and atheists alike - who still think George W Bush is not a liar and is a good president, and that the war on Iraq is necessary.

Besides, one of the core teachings of the Bible is that of Faith, and when everything is "proven" to the point it can't be denied, then faith can't exist. For example, if you ask your spouse or b/f or g/f to trust you, and they say "Sure, I trust you, but prove it to me first" then they are really telling you they don't trust you - they are requiring proof and it's obvious they have no trust or faith in you.

My advice to you is don't believe everything you see on YouTube or in a movie - a lot of it is not true, even if it says it is.

Answer 6

Miracles were used in the beginning to help establish the church and approve Gods message by being be a sign to new believers as well as a sign against unbelievers. Miracles are still done by God today but only for the edification of believers. (not grand signs to unbelievers) The reason you dont see any is because theyre done in context of a persons faith for Christians only.

Unbelievers always feel like they need a miraculous sign in order to follow God but following God doesnt come from something you see with your eyes. Following God comes from a response to God in your heart, then you see miracles if you need to. Many people in the Bible saw miracles and it did not lead to faith. The only thing that leads to faith is trust and a good heart toward God.

Answer 7

1- nowadays, people would call it a fake
2- God forces His will on no one. there were plenty who say it, knew Him, and still rejected Him. so why wouldn't there still be skeptics? even some of His disciples were skeptics...
3- God doesn't play with mankind. our intelligence, our knowledge is independant. He won't just "ingeniuosate" (yes I used that word for ironic purposes) us to know how to work a camera, make a vcr/computer and then hook it all up

Answer 8

It doesn't matter, You will know the options and the rewards and consequences of both good and evil, and you will then be given a choice. And your choice will be no ones but yours, and this is why there was sin allowed to happen. This is why an "all knowing GOD" will not come for word to expose himself because he wants us to experience life and death on Earth so we will have the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL and the rewards of GOOD and the consequence of EVIL.

Answer 9

It reminds me of a line in Jesus Christ Superstar, "If you'd come today, you would have reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication."

Answer 10

The Jesus Film by the Jesus Project is close enough.
