If he is perfect, why did he create something (us) so imperfect?
I really don't think you understand the question. It's funny because trying to understand the creator should be the first step intounderstanding what he created. It's a pretty simple question actually. Could the creator create something that even he can't control? In theory sincehe is all powerful and the creator he could, but if he did create something he can't control than that would not make him all powerful, it's aparadox...which the whole Religious(usually christian) God is. Not the God I believe in.Originally Posted by cartune
Why do you assume God couldnt move a rock didnt he slam a pretty big one into the Earth millions of years ago. And Im tired of these threads where yall tryin to understand God yall be the same dudes making threads about how to approach girls. Just fall back live your life. The God concept doesnt make since to me either but I been too much in my life to just turn my back on the Lord because its not logical alot of stuff that I've live through hasnt been logical to me either but some being bigger than me got me out of situations I cant explain how I got into in th first place
So to the OPs question I dont know I dont care. Try to conquer the earth and figure out all the earths secrets before you try to understand the creator of it
Material life is not something you will bring w/ you to heaven. That what it means to lose life in this world is just the next process to reachheaven. You will be stripped of everything w/ you get to heaven. This is what I picked up from Univer. religion class.
Well that's the thing, before Adam and Eve even "sinned", they were "imperfect" if you want to use that term. Remember Godonly created Adam and by association, Eve, in his image. His image and that's it. They lacked certain qualities--which they eventually gained, andsubsequently started the plight of "original sin" as we know of it...Originally Posted by FreshOne12

Furthermore, God doesn't take credit for Good, and attribute the BAD to Satan. I mean, really, when was the last time that you did something good and then all of a sudden, an all powerful--omniscient, omnipotent character just popped up and said--"Yooo I did that, that's all me right there son...

In a previous post we touched on this. In some passages I think there were dinosaurs around. I don't think they were called that though.Originally Posted by nnarum
I'm guessing god created these to test us too...
Here's my advice to you as a practicing Christian. Don't take the Bible literally. It's only a "guidebook" to help you alongthe way--give you some perspective. It is not the map to heaven, imo.Originally Posted by potus2028

See, the thing is, according 2 many passages in the Bible, that's PRECISELY what should happen. Every good deed you do is God working through you and his work and all that good stuff...but all the bad we do is a result of free will. Thats just one of the many reasons I'm a lapsed Christian...
You're trying to relate two very different things here.
The real question that should be asked is whether Ghandi got the opportunity to get to know Jesus Christ and develop and affinity for him, clearlynot being literal, like he did Hinduism...
So god knows everything that is going to happen, he knows exactly what choice we are going to make everytime we are presented with a decision...But you say we still have free will.
All-knowing meaning that he knows the past, present, and future. If he already knows the future, he already knows what each one of us will dothroughout our lives. 20 years ago he knew that we would be having this discussion on Nike Talk. Meaning we already have a set path, meaning we have nofree-will. We're just following the path god has already seen.
