Then he says, stay away from the devil cause he,s a bad apple. So why doesn,t he unmake the devil and hell, take away all things evil and show his face on Today tonight and then we can all be his adoring children just like he wants us to be. I mean, why give us free will and then punish us if we don,t wanna do things the way he demands. Isn,t he a bit full of himself to demand our love, That,s abit like having a child so you have someone to love you. Very selfish and very wrong. If he truly loves us, he should be happy with whatever we do withourselves and not to judge us. If he doesn,t like how we live our lives, then why doesn,t he just live it for us.... and if we are not his adoring fans, then he has failed to make a perfect world, therefore he can,t be that great a god or he would of got it right the first time, or was it that he rushed the job and made mistakes.......... Maybe he should of taken ten days

God's ways are not man's ways. God,being God can do as he pleases.We have no say in the matter.Christ reversed the priorities of values.Of wealth power,privileged position to respect,love,meekness,humility,respect of others.(This is the correct spiritual way of thinking - not back to front materialism ) All he asks of us is to live a certain way,which is not too difficult. He loves us in a way we can never understand. The problem is we want everything our way,no exceptions ,God can bugger off.Satan is very powerful and people do not even realise that he is in control of the Earth.Why is the world in such a mess ?Why is everyone dissatisfied ?They cannot abide each other.why are there record number of divorces and abortions.The answer is obvious. God has given us a way to be reunited with him ,but we just ignore it.Mary has appeared with messages for us on how to find peace again ,but most people won't accept her apparitions.We have no one to blame ,but ourselves.

even if he did show himself not everyone would be a believer and not everyone would accept him. so what purpose would that solve?
My friend you sound just like I did a year ago. I took a year off from my "religion" (i wont say which, so you dont think im converting u). i asked tons of tough questions, but what you really have to do is pray. Yes it sounds dumb and you think nothing is there. But yes there is. Be sincere and humble when you pray. Dont pray saying, "alright God, do this for me and show yourself." Just pray to him everyday, and tell him to show you the truth and the right way to go in life. Than start researching religions and ask the tough questions to them. You won't solve this in a day or a week. I personally believe God makes you wait and be patient for a reason. Be open minded and a humble heart. It's a long and tough journey finding God. If there is a God, the only way you can get through to him is prayer, not through people.

Makes sense.. i would rather spend eternity (if i have to live forever anyway..what nobody asked me if i want or not) in hell, fiery action with all the hot, horny chicks and freethinkers.. let the bible and qur'an nerds with their Psycho Fairy.. i don't want anything to do with that (imaginary) character anyway. Pain? After some 10000000000000000000 years i'd get used to it i'm sure.. would even miss it if you take it away. Heaven after 10000000000000000000 years must be a bigger punishment than hell.. everything that makes you human stops to make sense in eternity, even more so if you'Re trapped with a psychopathic a$$hole who strips you of free will.

Are you confused? So am I.
They are going to tell you that the devil was a fallen angel and .......bla,bla,bla.
The devil and god are two great fictional characters that star in that great fictional book called the Holy Bible.
I'm waiting to see god and the devil in Today Tonight. The ratings will go through the roof, pass hell and heaven and only stop when viewers become aware that they were duped, once again.

Terrific question. Thanks for asking it.
I don't think I can explain why he did this, instead of that; no one can except him.
To me, what people refer to as "God", is in essence our innermost self; we collectively are he, and he is us.
In a way, it's sort of like what I think it was "Charlie Brown" said, "I have met the enemy, and it is me", or something like that.
I'm probably not doing a very good job in explaining what I mean.
Let me just say, that I think you're on the right track, in questioning all of the religious B.S. that is peddled by all the major religious sects. The only real, ultimate truth, can only be revealed to a sincerely questioning mind, or soul. Keep at it, and you will have the answer you need some day.
Good luck,
Wotan

well, at first he had the Angels, and they were the most beautiful beings...but Lucifer was the most beautiful...well...he wanted to be better than God and he made the Angels rebel against him....but then Jesus or God they like sent Lucifer down to earth, because they didnt want all the angels to rebel against them, and they wanted to show the other worlds how it is to sin, and soo they are keeping Satan down on earth and when Jesus came to this earth, he died on the cross, he didnt know that it would work...or that it would please God but he did it just the right way that it pleased God and God took away our sins if we confess them to him..(thats why we dont make sacrifices anymore) no 7 days worked perfectly well.... no he didnt rush and make any mistakes...he luvs us...if you took it the way you are then you would probably say that if he didnt have the earth you wouldnt be alive to ask this question ur asking soo...I guess it wasnt a tottal mistake after all...
good luck with finding out ur questions

Well the devil, satan aka Lucifer was the best of the best angels God had until he decided to lie. Everything was perfect and no angel knew what a lie was because it was never told. Lucifer started thinking about how he wanted to be as great of a god as God was. Lucifer ended up making things up in his own mind decieving himself okay. So he got to decieve one third of God's angels. that's how this whole Satan/devil started. And since God was smart by not getting rid of Lucifer because what would the other angels think of when they didn't see Lucifer anymore? They would have feared this loving God they knew and God didn't want his angels to fear him. I mean what would you have done thrown him away and let the other fear you forever? Obviously you'd say yes because that's part of human instinct.
God is loving and he is caring. What could be worse than sacrificing your one and only son just so that others could live and have scars in your hands forever? All this God did was out of love never out of hate. If this God was concieted he would have never gone on HIs knees to wash the diciples feet and He would have never created us. Think about all the tragedies you've gone through...you couldn't compare them to what Jesus went through ever. You think He does this to us and blame Him for everything weve gone through. Blame him for hating life and wishing we never were born. Think again. Because everything you've gone through has made you who you are. If you don't love Him and don't' believe in Him it's because you don't have faith.
You see God is like the wind. You feel it and know it's there by faith. That's how you know wind exists and through faith you know God exists. It takes more than just reading the Bible...out of love that is unconditional love you will be able to understand everything. Until then just live your life the way it is don't blame Him for sascrificing His son that you could live. He can judge is, he is the creator. Would you raher have God judge you or humanity? In the end when you listen to God He will follow through. Right now you seem to be mad at Him when really you should be mad at yourself because you Don't hear him. Quit the internet browsing quit the television watching quit the radio listening and listen to Him....block the world out for a couple of hours and pray brotha =]

God gave us free will so we could live our lives how we wanted God is happy with us,he love's us so much that he made us and then after that sent his son to die for our sins I don't know how that is selfish.The Devil started out as an angel actully the most beautifull angel of them all the head angel ,but then he thought he could be God and wanted to take God's place so God cast him to hell,God dosn't want anyone to perish but if we do not choose him then people will go to hell.God sent his son to die so we could be with him if we don't choose him then that is the consquence.God loves his creation more then we could ever love anything.He didn't make us to be his fan's he made us so we could live and enjoy life.

Because we are all born sinners, we have free will only to do what we want, not what we should. How can a dead person do anything unless the Holy Spirit first quickens him.
All evil will be taken care of at the due time, not one second before or after.

Interesting question.
If I am not mistaken, He has created all being to worship Him. To prove that He is the most gracious and most merciful He gave them free will. Some of them, including us human choose to disobey Him. Devil is the first among the creation who confront Him. Then He cast them down and warn us human not to go near them to avoid bad influences. Should we blame Him for that?
Should all the creation follow His order we won't have this conversation. He gave us this world and we are still complaining and blaming Him for our own mistake.
