There have plenty reported over the years since then even in the modern era. The really major stuff we can assume is exceptionally rare.
Quote:2) Can I ask why you are basing your faith on a document that was written by people who had a very limited Grasp of Knowledge. Think a toddler trying to explain the Bible.
It ties in with what I would believe to be true anyway. It's rational, fits with science just fine and makes good emotional sense.
Quote:3) You say that all non-Christians goto hell.
Where in the Bible does it say that? Non-Christians won't receive Gods grace I suppose but that probably just means they will be judged purely on their works and good deeds. Bear in mind that God loves everyone yourself included though there is a consequence for sin.
Quote:
If does this not indicate a failure in Gods 'All Saving' grace in that God still could not save people who did not believe in him
You have the freewill to reject Gods love for you but he would rather you didn't.
Quote:3a) based on the above question can we sufficiently say that God would rather people Burn for Eternity just because they asked for evidence to believe in him.
It's just better if you do believe in him and accept the grace he offers you. You don't have to because you have the free choice.
Quote:Also if Jesus had to take our sins upon him why was it conditional on belief. Why could he not have accepted all sins.
You have to accept the salvation from sin Jesus offers you as well it's a two way deal. He isn't going to force you to be regenerate and born of the spirit rather than the flesh.
Quote:3b) Jesus mentioned a Sin that he cannot forgive - This again proves that Jesus cannot forgive anything and it also causes a paradox in that Jesus who said that whoever believes in him will goto heaven. According to this same person if you commit this sin - despite believing in him you wont goto heaven so Jesus was a Liar!.
It's unclear what blaspheming against the Holy Spirit entails but we can assume it's something particularly bad.
Quote:5) WHY DID GOD CREATE EVIL?
He gave humans the freewill to be evil if they want to be.
Quote:5a) WHY DID GOD CREATE HUMANS THAT ARE NATURALLY ATTRACTED TO EVIL?
He created humans in his image so we're essentially good but we're also in some way we're in a fallen state of sin and this can lead to evil.
Quote:5b) WHY DID GOD CONDEMN HUMANS FOR THEIR OWN DESIGNED NATURE?
He didn't condemn us he saved us from sin and death through Christ that's the idea. If there was nothing to be saved from it would all be a bit pointless.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
