God and Distaster

[Godscreated]

God did create a perfect world, Satan and people like you and me caused the imperfections that are seen in the world.

a perfect world created by a perfect god can be screwed up by imperfect mortals? That makes ZERO sense and is obviously a quick excuse to avoid blame.

I'm admitting blame and yes it makes perfect sense when you understand that God created all things and created angels, humans and anything else that can know God. God desires love from us and to have the love He desires He had to give us freewill. God has no desire for forced love or loyalty.

theVOID, where do you get this word omnibenevolent from,

*sigh* yet again godschild shows his ignorance of his own religion. Of course the word "omni benevolence" isnt in the bible, but omni benevolence means "infinite and perfect goodness, justice, and kindness", which is spoken of many times in the bible..if you just took the time to read it.

Yes I know what it means and if you had cared to try and understand the quote below you would know I understand. To respond to your response below I did not change a thing about scripture, read your definition of omnibenvolent above and you'll see that what I said matches. God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent and that seems to me to cover it all so why us the word omnibenevolent (which I can not find in the dictionary) when the other three cover all aspects of God.

The idea of God's omnibenevolence in Christianity is based on Psalm 18:30, "As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him."

It is also supported by Psalm 19:7, "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple."

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

2 Samuel 22:31
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

1 Kings 8:60-61
60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else. 61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Job 37:16
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
(I might not know how to "balance clouds" in the sky..by Jesus does..careful, they may tip! LMFAO)

Psalm 19:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Psalm 138:8
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

yes God is benevolent but sometimes (especially) when there is judgement involved God may not seem to be benevolent.

But that goes DIRECTLY against the scripture I just posted. "He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." The book of Revelations is very precise about what happens to those who change the word of the lord around like you just did. It says they will add to their miseries in the lake of fire, and those who subtract from the word of the lord will subtract their name from the book of life.

Now do not misunderstand, I'm not saying this awful disaster was judgement from God, I do believe this earthquake was part of what happens on this planet. Yes I do believe that God could have stopped this event, that however did not happen for what ever reason and I guess you'll have to ask God why. As for why doesn't He stop natural disasters, how do we know He hasn't, when and if He does we would never know because it never happened.

God cant stop natural disasters because he is nothing more than a fictional character..DUH! Why do you think we are asking you these questions? We are trying to get you to realize the only answer for ALL of them is to admit that Jehovah and Jebus are fictional.

He may seem fictional to you, for me He is real, you can do everything you can think of to make God fictional but the truth is He's real, your creator and God and there is nothing you can do to change this truth.
