We all sin to some degree. Remember it's God that is perfect. We're just his creations that can go either one way or the other, in this spiritual battle of life. God is perfect you say? Then how on earth is it possible that he could create a creation capable of doing something it did not intend for them to be able to do, to the point he regrets ever creating them before the great flood? Would that not be a mistake? Would this not indicate a flaw in his creation if he made them this way? How does that really work? If you ask me it doesn't.......either God is perfect and so are we for our purpose here, flaws and all, or God screwed up. There is no middleground. Make a choice, is God perfect or isn't he? Kleisto, what are you referring to in the first couple of sentences? I am saying that it is impossible for a being who created us perfect to make us imperfect UNLESS that's what it intended us to be, it defies logic. To say it's true means God made a mistake and perfect beings are incapable of that. God had to know why he made us the way we did.......otherwise how can he be perfect and all knowing if we can do something it didn't expect or anticipate? It just does not make any sense whatsoever. If God didn't want us to be the way we are it would have made us different, but it didn't. Therefore we must be perfect for our purpose, because if we weren't, it'd mean God made a mistake which again is something perfection cannot do by definition. I don't think God had any intention of making us to be perfect beings. It starts with the story of Adam and Eve. First humans ever to be created by God. Satan is cast out of Heaven for his plot to overtake God. Satan them tempts Adam and Eve, and they give in. Today, whether you believe or you don't, we fight with the negative and positive forces. A spiritual battle if you will, with God on one side and satan on the other, vying for our souls. God for good, wants us all to be in Heaven with him. Satan is furious with God for casting him out into hell forever, and will try to entice any of God's creations "us" into sinning, so when we pass, we enter into his lair of torture and pain for eternity. You may know the story I've just posted? Not sure? May all be just fiction to you, and you just may believe in what modern science teaches you and that's it? Faith though is about keeping an open mind and doing all the right things. To love your neighbor as yourself. Never hate, be jealous, envious, hurtful or racist to anyone. Jesus only taught peace. First of all that's a lie, Jesus himself even said that he comes not to bring peace but a sword in the Bible, and speaks of dividing families........you are being dishonest. If he was all about peace his words would reflect it and they do not. That's number one, number two, if God did not intend us to be perfect beings as you say, then what sense does it make to punish us eternally in the way that it does, and wipe out whole civilizations at times in addition to? You're gonna tell me God KNOWINGLY makes us imperfect and flawed, and then gets mad when we act exactly as it wanted us to be able to? Bullcrap. Again, either God made everything and everyone as it intended, or God screwed up, it cannot be both. Finally, any divine being that would let people burn eternally in hell knowing it could prevent it and wants all to be saved in the place, is not one worthy of any worship at all. Such is a being a monster, and as far from anything loving as one could get. Love does not let someone suffer just for the sake of suffering. If You actually read the Bible, you'll see there are many verses where Jesus mentions peace. Here are just some of them: John 14:27 ESV / Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Exodus 20:13 ESV / “You shall not murder. Thessalonians 3:16 ESV / Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. John 16:33 ESV / I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 1 Peter 3:11 ESV / Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. Romans 12:18 ESV / If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. There are two forces at work here, remember that. God is the spiritual force controlling all that is good in humankind, and of the earth. Satan has just enough power to sway people into doing bad, heinous acts. Ultimately though, it's up to us to control what's thrown our way by satan and his minions. Satan wants people to be atheists agnostics, and occultists. He has gotten through to people like these, in order to aquire their souls when they pass over. He's the ultimate tempter and deceiver. It's sin within ourselves and through satan that works the karma towards natural disasters, as far as I know. I'll have to look into this some more. God is a loving God. However he's also just and a good judge. His rules are clear, that either you get saved and follow his commandments to the best of your ability. If one get "saved", which means you believe Jesus came down to earth and eventually died for our sins, meaning he sacrificed himself in order that, if we repented and prayed for forgiveness of our sins,we could escape the fires of hell. Also believing that he was resurrected three days later going up to Heaven, and that he is our Lord and Saviour. According to scripture, we are then "saved". Now, you can be saved and still sin. One just need to have a conscience and pray for forgiveness once they do commit a sin, whereas an unsaved person or non-believer will not be forgiven. There are some who believe that "once saved always saved. However, I had been told my my pastor that the only way to become unsaved, the only unforgivable sin is to be a believer who then turn back to being a non-believer. |

I'm just assuming you may have read the Bible, didn't
have an open mind at all, thought it was some fairytale and passed it off as fiction. It took a lot of years with a lot of witnesses, input from scholars and authors. I don't see it, therefore it has to be fictitious nonsense, right? This what you think? I have a HUGE open mind. I consider ALL information, no matter how absurd it may seem. I also consider science, although I know that it too is extremely limited and flawed. Many of the so-called 'witnesses' in the Bible could also be fictional characters, so they aren't really witnesses. They are dead anyway so there are no "witnesses" unless they too can be verified to have been real historical characters. Not "fairytales" but myth and legend of which I'm sure there is some truth, but by no means would I take them as being history or truth. I'm glad to see you have an open mind. Thing is, we can talk and debate over religion for years and we still wouldn't change our opinions. For me, it's just having the faith and belief in the Gospel. Faith has helped a lot of people. I also believe in God as our creator, Jesus our Lord and savior and the Holy Spirit. |
