Looking For Another Christian (please ignore if you are not a believer.
RE: Looking For Another Christian (please ignore if you are not a believer.
(July 30, 2014 at 8:50 am)Revelation777 Wrote: Few things here:

- Man is reaping the results of rebelling and not wanting to obey Him.
Individual humans, on the other hand, are reaping the results of someone else rebelling thousands of years ago... an action that the person in question already paid for.
Quote:- God warned that suffering is a result of sin, no surprises here.
Then god is the source of suffering. Either he inflicted all humans with sin due to the actions of only two of them, or he designed humans to inherit sin if only one or two of them rebelled.
Quote:- God has intervened, the bigger problem has been solved, the price of sin has been paid for in full!
Then why are people made to pay the price of sin, every day, all around the world, for centuries since then?
Quote:- God is coming back and will end sin once and for all
Tough to trust him, considering what you have just told us about him.
Quote:- Why the delay? To give sinful man a chance to repent, thus my urging for you to get in the ark
Uhhh... NO. Based on your explanation, the people responsible for our condition didn't get a chance to repent; they were sentenced on the spot. And in spite of this, their infection was allowed to spread to all of humanity. Why would anyone want to get into the ark, if it's being steered by the same god who pulled the rug out from under us?
Quote:- Why do kids suffer? God gave a grave warning to those who harm children, God instructed us to love our enemies, God told us to care for the poor - if we were obedient no kid would be harmed
Ah, I see. Kids suffer because god is a man of words, not action.
Quote:God became flesh and suffered like no man has ever so He understands suffering completely.
Uhhh... NO. I agree that he suffered like no man ever, in that he knew he could stop it at any time, and that he also knew that after three days of rest he would go right back to being GOD for all of eternity thereafter. He cannot understand suffering and still do what YOU purport he does to humanity.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
