Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market-place, and cried incessantly: "I am looking for God! I am looking for God!"
As many of those who did not believe in God were standing together there, he excited considerable laughter. Have you lost him, then? said one. Did he lose his way like a child? said another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? or emigrated? Thus they shouted and laughed. The madman sprang into their midst and pierced them with his glances.
"Where has God gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers.

God still live on while this guy who said above is dead.

The person of Christ as eye witnessed by the apostles as recorded in the Bible.

For us Christian, He is the tangible and physical proof.

What tickles me is how theists enjoy obfuscating the issue by bringing in all sorts of irrelevant discussions.

What is it now? Evolution or existence of god? Which is it? Pick which you want to discuss.

Incidentally, I would like to point out that evolution is not exactly contradictory to religion depending on which school of thought you follow. I know quite a few Muslims who are fine with it, and that the official position of the Catholic church is that evolution happened.

Also...this statement?

Evolutionist himself figure out human from apes theory changes & now irrelevant.

Incorrect, and idiotic. Evolution has never been irreleveant, nor has it ever stated humans came from apes. You need to study some more instead of commenting on something you don't understand. icon_idea.gif

Do not know, means we study it. We don't make up stories to explain something. You have not even proven magic. You just stated that is 'exists', but is regarded by the scientific community as hogwash.

And no, we don't run from ghosts. They don't exist. rolleyes.gif

From the Church POV, does not mean evolution discredit creation. It starts from there, then evolution. It's not just Catholics. doh.gif

And if somebody does a Gregor Clegane on you, as in he rapes your wife, your daughter, and than kills your infant son by smashing his head with his bare hands and your entire family to boot, he will be forgiven and saved by believing in Him. And thus he gets a ticket to salvation and you and your deceased family will have to face this person in Heaven for eternity, but hey...all is forgiven, no? Its OK, he's a different person now and he repented. wink.gif

Well, like it or not you're stuck with him for all eternity. Wouldn't that be something?

Guy does all these nasty things and he gets to enjoy eternal paradise just as long as he accepts salvation just in the nick of time. What an awesome concept.

Yeah,i think I like the balance of good deeds idea better...

Well he will be changed eternally as well. So it is an awesome concept.

It is actually better that no messenger was sent.
Romans 5:13
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.


The problem with the God of religious scripture is He never made a good example of Himself in regards to his own teaching. God has all the power to stop this whole mess of torment yet did nothing. He should take back this verse and swallow it upside down.
James 4:17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

1. There is a reason for all these that has happened, I did explained this in our Christian Fellowship thread.

2. If He were to do that, you would have not existed. Neither would your parents, siblings, family. But I need to give a correct perspective about God, He did do SOMETHING and that is the Gospel of the Grace of Christ.

Link me the page.
I’m perfectly fine with not existing if the probability of me and others going to end up in eternal hell remains open. In analogy, will you bother having children if it was diagnosed that your child will have a high possibility of inheriting some serious genetic disorder leading to hellish abnormality?
*
You're not the only one, everyone is together in this, even I'm on the way to hell if I did not accept Christ as my savior.
It's bit long winded to explain but here's the short summary of it, my take of it.

I believe there are 2 reasons why God allowed things to move on and not snap his finger as you said;

1. We are given his breath of life which is eternal. What is eternal cannot be destroyed, The essence of our spirit. Even though the body may rot and all that but the spirit lives on. Did God made a mistake? Definitely not. I'm glad to have existed and so many others. Glad to have experience love, pain and all that. Is it worth it? Yes IMO. And there are some so pained in life, they wished they've never existed. My point being, we are responsible for our own actions, not God. God did not create the problem, we did. To pin and blame it on God is just irresponsible and lazy way of excuse, IMO.


2. So that we understand what would happen if anyone is tempted to repeat the same mistake that Adam and Eve did in New Heaven and Earth, is it worth to go through all these crazy cycle again?
Definitely not, IMO. Point is, this world will be destroyed and a New one will emerge from God.


QUOTE(loud @ May 7 2015, 01:13 PM)
Your reason says women are not permit to assume authority over a man because they are control freak and manipulative…correct me if i’m wrong.
I’ve to admit the arguments bolded earlier failed to hit the point but nonetheless the context is psychologically related. A person who is temperate/worthy of respect/trustworthy is a person who has self-control/knows moderation thus it is not incoherent to assume that such person will not have intolerable inclination to impose selfish desires upon others.

And it is not restricted to household affair if one read the context of 1 Conrinthians 14.
*
1. No it's not based on that. We all have to learn humility and be submissive one way or another. Just like how we need to learn to submit to authority in hierarchy in corporate organization, same principal in this.

2. No, again, The Greek word, guné 1 Corinthians 14:34 is referring to wife. What is my basis? It's in the following verse.

35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.g

Do you see the word "OWN husband". The word own emphasize, so it's not referring to woman in general.

It is clear that it boils down to how one understands “freewill” in relation to good/bad and responsibility.
To be frank, good and evil is actually a conventional term. Harmful desires/actions basically arisen upon 2 conditions;
1. The failure to realize/understand its true consequence.
2. The failure to remember/be mindful of what has been learned.
And both of these are beyond one’s control. Although one can train oneself to be mindful or pursue more knowledge but that motivation/intention(to train/pursue) has to be supported by some extent of realization to begin with...which has to do with natural selection/exposure thus the argument supporting freewill and absolute individual responsibility actually overlooked the whole context of human behavior.

In summary, God is actually cursing those who have poor understanding and memory to eternal hell.
*
That is not true. Actually you got it wrong, it's not this popular Atheist saying, God created Heaven and Hell and either you (force) believe in me or you go to hell. You have to erase that misconception out of your mind.

All of us have been separated from God by the corruption of sin, pass on from Adam. Satan deceived Eve. God held Eve, Adam and Satan accountable.
but more importantly God held Satan responsible and condemn primarily him to eternal hell, whereas God killed an animal in sin atonement for Adam and Eve and also immediately executed a saving plan for all human kind.
Does that make God seem like He wants people to go to Hell? Definately not and I have tons of other scripture verse to prove that as well. But why is it that, that there are people who go to hell?
The answer is simple, it's because they rejected God and his saving plan, God is a gentleman, He will not force, When anyone rejects Him, Satan will come in and lay claim to that person's spirit and soul. Satan is just innately destructive and evil. And again before you say this, No God did not create Satan. I think I've explained this tons of times, lazy to repeat it.

Another thing is that, Many People have complained this world is messed up. I've seen the comment that the world is so crazy at time, this earth need a reset button. That is evidence the corruption of sin in this world. Well God is going to give us a new heaven and earth. To go there, the corruption of sin have to be removed from us and this is possible only through the blood of Christ, by acknowledging Him as your Saviour and let God change you in his power.

You don't really need rocket scientist mentality to understand this.

God does not hold people like Children and those mentally challenge/Childlike accountable and condemn them to eternal hell.

Furthermore, here’s what the bible implies about freewill;

But the fact women pastor/deacon preaching men remains as controversial till today.
*
James 4:13-15 is pertaining to future events. The fact that, we don't know what will happen in the future, so God is asking us as Christians, to not boast about the future, saying we will do this or that. This verse is for Christians really. Nothing to do with freewill.

John 15:16 is pertaining to God choosing us to bear fruit. Meaning to exhibit growth spiritually that will manifest his blessing in our lives.

It's controversial when people (sometime Christians even) don't understand the Bible well enough, that is why God appoints teachers to teach, so don't believe blindly what you see on the internet, especially from Anti God sites.

I was trying to address this;
"My point being, we are responsible for our own actions, not God. God did not create the problem, we did."

You misunderstood my point and take it a few step too far. Let me repeat in another way.
Assuming those event spoken in the bible is true and God is real,
why do you think Satan choose to do harm? why a person choose to reject God?
Aren't all these fall within the 2 parameters i mentioned;
1. The failure to realize/understand its true consequence.
2. The failure to remember/be mindful of what has been learned.

Please try reflect on your own past experience what is the conditions for any of your harmful action to manifest/persist?
I assure you one doesn't need to be mentally challenge to be subjected to those conditions. It has been part of our daily lives.

And don't always blame Satan la, see what James 1:14-15 say:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

It has to do with one's own harmful desire but as i mentioned "harmful desire/action" manifest due to the 2 conditions not because a person senang-senang want to be bad for no reason.
*
Yes it's part of our very being because it started from the corruption of sin, passed on from Adam.
We are responsible for our own actions.

Why Satan choose to do harm? Because of pride.
Why a person choose to reject God? Because of the nature of Sin, Bible term call it the works of the flesh, it is hostile and anti-God.

What I meant was God held Satan accountable and condemn Him to eternal punishment but for Adam and Eve and all man kind, God prepared a Salvation Plan.
