Yet, he interferes regularly, in the Bible.
Quote:He couldn't stop Lucifer because he would have called God an unloving tyrant, a being only able to keep His creation through power and everyone would turn from Him if it wasn't for His controlling power that allowed no one to make decisions for themselves.
Yet, this is still precisely what he is, because God gave out free will but then set up a huge list of laws designed to punish almost every single potential use anyone could have for free will.
Quote:Unhappy is creation, no matter what God would do
Either another limit to God's abilities or an example of his malice, that he can't or won't make a universe in which people of free will would find no faults and never suffer misery.
Quote:So why not let the evil Lucifer brought into creation run it's coarse and then be dealt with by God.
Who's fault is it that Lucifer existed, or that he had the capacity to bring evil into existence?
Quote:It cost Him the perfect life of the Christ, the greatest part of the creation He so loves, no He didn't sacrifice anything, but in the end creation would see what evil really does and will be glad God put an end to it.
You've just described a protection racket.
Quote:Yes God could have put a stop to Lucifer but, it would have in the end cost Him the respect of His creation and Lucifer would have been lost forever either way.
Who can respect a being which callously allows so many innocent people to suffer so profoundly, just to prove a point? I mean, besides someone who glorifies cruelty and malice as yourself.
