God does not follow the first principle of morality. Why not?

[Darkstar]

If God does not make you a promise to care for you or love you then why should it matter to me or any other believer if you or anyone in your position feels he can label God Malevolent?

Then why do you maintain that god cares about us or loves us? (Or don't you?)

That's like saying money is unfair if you don't have any. Money is not the issue, nor is your proxcimity to it an issue for me. If you want more money work for it. If you want to know God's loving side then work on it.

Kind of sounds like Stockholm syndrome. God makes us, then threatens us with horrible vengence unless we are absolutely subserviant. Escaping hell to continue in our worship for eternity is a 'reward'.

Should be a deist, then. If he does interfere, then we aren't totally in charge of this realm and he doen't have an excuse. Also, define 'allow'. Do we 'allow' cancer to kill children,

Do 'we' make cancer treatment avaiable to ALL Children who have it for free?
(it's a yes or no question)

Does cancer treatment have a 100% sucess rate? Whose poor design made us susceptible to cancer?

or natural disasters and other diseases to kill people?

God gave this world over to us, because we insisted on taking the reigns in the garden. This does not mean we know what we were doing.

God gave us the world, but we insited on using it. ...huh?

Isn't god responsible for diesease (if he created all life on earth)?

So?

Disease serves no positive function. If promoting single-celled organisms at the expense of his chosen creation isn't an act of malice, what is?

If so, his non-interference is only via a loophole.

Your confused. I did not say God did not 'interfere.' The flood, sodom and gormorrah the book of Job and on and on. I simply said we have been placed as the masters of this realm. Meaning we are responsiable for this world and all that is in it. This does not mean God is walked away.

We are responsible for the world...and for fixing anything god breaks in it.

Good thing too; it's illegal to stone people for working on the sabbath.

Which day is the sabbath in Christianity again?

Actually, you are right in saying that god isn't omnibenevolent. A lot of people have that idea, but it isn't mentioned in the bible. People sometimes believe things that aren't in the bible, but it is more common that they don't believe something that is in the bible. Do you think that blaspheming the holy spirit will really earn you a one-way ticket to eternal torture, even if the rest of your life is spent in servitude?

yup.

Well, no one ever said life (or god) was fair.

The question is what is blasphemeing the Holy Spirit?
I mean most of you think taking the Lords name is pairing the title of God with an obsenity, hence blasphemeing the Holy Spirit would be the same thing. One of you even started a thread on this. What if i told you that wasn't it.

Do you have evidence to suggest it isn't? Claiming that Jesus's miracles were the work of demons is apparently blasphemy against the holy spirit, but one would think it is the intent that matters.
