Still not sold on if God really exists. If He does he can't be all-powerful or else why do bad things happen to good people?
Yes, God is all powerful. However, three things: 1. Humans have free will because God gave it to us. Love and virtue are only meaningful if they are freely chosen. Because God respects the freedom He has given us, people can choose evil, and good people can suffer at the hands of others. Constantly overriding those choices would eliminate genuine free will. While God could do such a thing with His power, He would ultimately be disrespecting His own creation. 2. After the Fall, when Adam and Eve first turned away from God (Genesis 3), creation entered a fallen state. The world became subject to corruption, disease, disorder, and death. We all live with the consequences of that brokenness, even good people. 3. God ordinarily governs the universe according to the natural order He created. He certainly has the power to perform miracles, and sometimes He does, but He does not continually suspend the laws of nature every time someone would suffer. Doing so would undermine the stable, ordere…
I like this a lot, thank you
Uh oh here come the Christian’s
He is a fairy tale in a fake book. Also even if he is real he is a peice of shit. Kings 2: 23-24: “From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking up the path, some small boys came out of the city and harassed him, chanting, ‘Go up, baldy! Go up, baldy!’ He turned around, looked at them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the children.” Is is fucked up to have bears maul 42 children for making fun of a dudes hairline. Also the bible tells slaves to obey thiee masters, especially the cruel ones. Its about indoctrination and control
People say "its to bring you closer to god" and "God has a plan" and "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors" Its all bullshit though.
Quite simple, really. The highest form of power is the power to restrain itself. To create genuine free will, God would have to create something He can affect but refuses to control. He remains able to intervene, yet unwilling to erase the freedom He gave it. Paradox is where your understanding ends, not necessarily where God does.
It's Really simply, you are God. I'm God, the guy who fixes my car is god. This is a simulation and you built it. The purpose of the simulation is to learn compassion by living every life one at a time. We are eternal, Dolphins swimming in the infinite
I resonate with this more than you know.. 🙏
I know, we are the same lol
Somehow I understand this..
He does if you have that mental illness that you need an imaginary friend/sky Daddy like religious people do. Otherwise, no, there's nothing there.
He does. Just wait till you get in a really bad life situation. He’ll show himself. He showed hisself to me
God exists, and there is only one true God. And He is The God of The Bible. Scripture states in Psalm 14:1 "The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good." And in Romans 1:18-32 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, {19} because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. {20} For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, {21} because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. {22} Professing to be wise, they became fools, {23} and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man an…
There's just zero evidence for his existence. And if he does he's either useless and not worth praise or plain evil.
Free will. Simple answer
I've heard that, but what about bad things that happen that have nothing to do with human decisions? Like war and starvation I can see as a result of free will, but what about like, babies getting cancer? No human decisions led to that :/
Wars and starvation is due to humans. And somethings happen to us so you know what the good things are in your life. If life was only good, you would not appreciate it
So babies get cancer so people can appreciate the good things in life?
Amen to that I think that's a question that will haunt me until the day I die. Just because a lot of people get in trouble for things they never did. And still got punished for it like let's assume the worst in this person just because of their background history to me I think that is completely wrong because you can't ever judge a book by its cover.
On top of what you've been recommended, you should read The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius. He asked himself this same question when he was falsely imprisoned for treason and set to be executed.
Absence of proof does not equal proof of absence. Bad things don’t happen to people. Things happen to people. Whether things are bad are your perception of it as threat. An accident today could’ve saved someone from a death like scenario in the same day coz they missed work. People are not good or bad. It’s their perception that are good or bad . “Oh he helps elders, such a good boy.” “Oh she back answers her parents such a bad girl.” Good and bad are extremes of perception (when it comes to humans) and no true extreme exists. Also, be it a God or not, No being all powerful can be all merciful that’s why we have suffering. If we were to assume we were made in “His image and likeness” and I can be corrupt with immense power, imagine can your creator not be? Gods are not moral. Morality is emotional. And it’s because they’re not emotional, they can never be moral.
You're completely right but it's not what is in scripture most of the time sadly. That's where people get confused.
Read the gnostic bible.
Looking it up now!
This exactly what the Jews say
He doesn't owe you an explanation
He doesn’t and religion is bs it’s all about money and nothing else
Oh you don’t get it yet… We are all equally bad and none of us actually deserves mercy… One offence intensity doesnt excuse another offence of being an offence. Therefore even a simple white lie can be actually what makes you a bad person
It doesnt
Look into Gnosticism lol
