Quote HistoryQuoted:
God made everything perfect.....man screwed it up with the help of satan and his fallen angels that he led astray. When man sinned, the curse on the world and man began. God doesn't tempt people and can't do or look upon evil, everything bad you see today from sicknesses to natural disasters are a result of man's sin. So whatever you think that you are going pin on God with your question all goes back to evil. Now as bible thumper, I do have a serious question for God that--if given a chance in Heaven--I would like to ask him. If satan and the angels led the revolt in Heaven, why not kick them out to the lake of fire and start fresh with new man and woman to replace Adam and Eve? Why let your creation (man) be led astray and sent to hell, which was made for the devil and the fallen angels? But unlike some, just because I don't possess the mind of God, I do not feign to lecture God about what is and what can or cannot be. I believe simply on faith and I get it that God is infinite, I am finite. God is all powerful, I am not. God understands everything, I can't even understand women. I love how scientists use the mind that God gave them to lecture the Creator about what is and what is possible. Good luck with your quest OP every parent wants their kid to come home for dinner because the child "wants to be there - not because they are being forced" through Gods plan those that arrive in Heaven will get there because it's their desire to be with their Father. Now God the Creator is the father a believer serves, but one must remember the lower case very temporary god of this world is the one most serve - his temptation is why the world is screwed. why would one continually click on a religious thread if they had no faith in religion? because we all either serve the upper case or the lower case. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
When your three year-old child asks why the sky is blue, do you get into the science behind it, or do you dumb it down to something a three year-old will understand? I kinda look at the God and the Bible the same way. I am the three year-old. God has to dumb things down so I can understand them with my feeble brain. Agreed. We see dimly in a mirror, do we not? But we know that this life, this existence, is but like an acorn that grows into the Oak- A mustard seed of Faith that grows into the largest of trees. & if you work hard enough, even a 3 yr old can understand condensation Nuclei. Mine did at least. So it is with scripture, I feel, understanding is a matter of the heart, disbelief- a matter of the mind. |

May God bless you and your family. Best post of the night, thank you and right back to you and yours. I do know that the Bible clearly states that Jesus coming an dying on the cross wasn't God's plan B--God doesn't have a plan B. God has the unique ability to see past, present and future. The Bible states that from the foundation of time, this world was created for Christ and Christ was never a second string in God's plan B. Again, knowing the relationship and closeness that Jesus had with God and the Holy Spirit, it goes back to love that God would send his son to die for us. We don't deserve it. I see God's love in sending Adam a helpmate in Eve as a recognition of the companionship God was missing--why he made man to begin with. It all fits in together, we just don't have all the pieces. |

I got the local pasture with this one the last time I talked to him,
How long did it take God to make Earth. 90% will say 6 days, I love pointing it out that no that was everything. Then it leads into my next question How many earth years did that take? look at me more puzzled and say no, just 6 days, I reply with if it was not here and he was making it it could not have been measured in earth years, the bible tells us that one day in heaven is 1000 years on earth, so I argue it took him 6,000 years to create everything, or you can argue it took him six days in heaven to lay-forth his plans and 6,000 years for the angles to carry it out. People believe what they want and of God can see the future he knew Satan would fall and man will commit sin, be cast from Eden, no I would say he did not create it but knew it would be part of mans tribulations. |

In for the shit storm! ETA: Answer: no idea.... I'm a science guy. However, I also have issues with nothing creating everything 
Your statement is not Biblical as far as the Bible doesn't account for the creative process with that type of reasoning. It doesn't say that. It says that God created yet makes no mention of what forms of materials and energy used initially or even right now and in the future. What you study and observe now is the created evolution of the process of God creating. Even nothing is something when it is undiscovered, unknown, and has been thought to not exist by some of the evidences shown. Science is good. Science could be better.

Quoted:
If you believe in God answer this: Did God made everything? As I was told in church and Sunday school while growing up, God made everything. Yes or No Now edited to reflect the real question I wanted to get answered: Well if God created everything , did he create evil? I created the light and the darkness. I created that which is good, and that which is evil. |

God created other beings who had their own wills. Under their own will they committed evil disobeying God. Thus evil entered creation. I'm not seeing a logic-issue.

Cold is an absence of Heat.
Dark is an absence of Light. Evil is an Absence of Love. God created heat, light, and love. The opposite of those did not have to be created, |

You cannot have a so-called free-will in a corrupted environment without the presence of rebellion towards God. By the spiritual method and law. The kingdom of God is an absolute monarchy and of this you may be assured. Only One can keep His law at all times and in all circumstances.. We cannot and are in subjection to it. This will not come out well for some. We are not totally free and most people know this |
