But that doesn't answer the question of "malevolence". Even if the state of our current world is because of humans' own doing, then the question of omnipotence becomes false.

You don't get to choose how you define malevolent. If you are changing the definition, like what you are doing, then your answer is meaningless because the question quite clearly implies "malevolent" as the definition specified in the dictionary. You can't attach additional conditions and try to change the question itself.

That is the whole riddle, how can I attempt to elaborate a puzzle?

The whole implications are self-contained in the puzzle.

It does not say if god wishes to do evil to others, it says, If there is evil in the world, then where is the question of God's omnipotence? If god is omnipotent, then where does evil come from?

That is the conundrum, that is the question.

Hey, you seems to be ok here. Atleast you seem to be making an honest attempt to answer. Thank you.

I can understand your questions because i once asked them myself too.
It is not documented on other countries.. but we can find traces of it.
More so in China.
During Jesus Era, which is a short few years.. during the crucifixion of Jesus, at this time, Israelites were already all around the world. They came back to worship the passover and so happen witnessed the death and resurrection of Jesus. Disciples were preaching in their respective languages at the countries they were from.
Now where to find traces of the old testament?
Look to China's practices and culture. There is a book that explains traditional chinese writings which actually depicts God and Jesus.

But look at Chinese new year where red is used, and hung around the door. Or sacrifices are needed to worship. Why red hanging around the door. Because Chinese believes it is meant to scare the red devil away from killing. If you do a study deep enough, you will realize it is closely related to when Moses instructed Israel to paint red blood on their door. To prevent the angel of death from killing their first born.

LOLS.. the traces are there. But I personally believe it is not obvious because of Satan's cover-ups and also partly because after Rapture, it will be part of 'the great lie' which blinds everyone who is left behind.

Good that you are thinking about it.
Now when Jesus done miracles in healings.. for example in John 4, and even for the blind to see at Bethsaida on Sabbath day in Mark 8, were all this miracles done over a period of time?

Even during Moses time, where there as a bush of fire, or even when Moses staff turned into a snake, or when the angel killed alt the first born in one night, all this were done by God.

I think, we will never be able to fully understand how God did it. But we have to accept by faith God did. If it took time to grow? or how it happened? I think, when we get to heaven, we will find out. But when God said, He did it in a day. I think it happened in a day. Like how Jesus healed instantly or asked Lazarus(Who is dead) to come out instantly.

By faith we accept it.

Well you have your point.
Science creates facts based on what they discover.. and there are a lot of stuffs they DO NOT discover YET? or maybe not.

But when Science hypothesize ( Not a fact, just a theory, like how they say brain is just usage of 3% or something, thats also a theory proven wrong.. not a fact.. ) that the world is 4.5 billion years.

Clearly, they did not take into account a lot of factors
- Bible states the big flood. If you understand the carbon dating process enough, you will know how it will eventually affect the carbon dating.
- Difference in natural environment such as sun and rain factors. ( Our sun is getting hotter and hotter right?)
- and even natural disasters.
If you see some debunked theories of the world being 4.5 billion years, you will undnerstand, their story has another different side of it lols.. its just a widely accepted theory with a lot of flaws.. as good as the big bang theory.

The age of the world is unknown. Its not told in the Bible. But it is roughly estimated based on the timeline of events which the Bible stated. Like for example, how long after Adam, or how long after David, or how old was David when this happen, or how old was the other prophets.. so based on this, and combining it all, the entire Earth was, like i said, ESTIMATED.. to be  6,000 years old.

just an estimate.

To be honest, I would think it's more plausible for Young Earth, you know why?

Things decay and I don't think we can have enough resources if it's billion of years...if you can understand how long is billions.

Before you get swayed even further,

Put it this way,
science and God dont co-exist.

However, One way or the other, the world will end due to the diminishing resources.

But the origins of earth, it is a splitroad of either God's explanation or Science,
But like i said, Science depict as billions due to their statistical calculation methods..
not like they have an accurate scientific failproof method..
its just through their carbon dating methods.. etc... which are full of flaws..

Hence, to begin with, earth's scientific age isnt a fact.. its just a theory..

Jesus said the sum total of the Law is to Love God with all your heart, all your soul and with all your strength.

I ask you this one question.

Was there anyone in history is/was able to do that without failure?

Talking about Bad and Good.........

Jesus said something profound...why do you call me good And He threw the Law to the young Rich ruler. ( Luke 18:19/Mark 10:18)

Read the whole passage of Luke 18 or Mark 10 to understand this revelation.

See if people can attain/lose Salvation because they can obey, they don't need a Saviour.

From what you've been taught, do you know why and what is the purpose of The Laws of God?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For me it's not the matter of good or bad people. the reason why people's life are not changed is because we are not preaching the gospel.
When we preach...you must obey God or Christ.(not arguing on that fact) you are preaching the Law.

Well Jesus referred to the Old Testament commandments in those 2 verses.

Those weird laws are what we call ceremonial laws as well as the Levitical laws.

They are meant for the Israelites.

Hi Nico,

I need to start by asking;

Why should Christians follow what God calls the Old Testament law as a ministry of death? (2 Corinthians 3:7)

Have you not read Romans 14:5-10

5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Verse 5-10 is in the context, being a Christian is not about following rules and regulations; It is no longer about following the OT Law, it is about looking to Christ as his/her Savior & God by faith as justification. Read the rest of the chapter until you come to verse 22. That is key. Key importance of what God wants you to apply in practice.

No such thing that to follow/disobey observing Sabbath = grave sin.  God has nullified the Old Covenant (for the believer) and has cut a new One, a New covenant based on his GRACE. <----everything depends on this. Read Hebrews 8:13.

The Old Testament law still stands against unbeliever...though...but that is another matter.

Note what I've said in the bracket...For the believer and unbeliever.

That would be the King James Version Bible; the closest english translation to the original scripts
In fact, the NIV and other simplified versions of the Bible has hid away various other messages that can be told in a verse..

NicoRobinz
There is another site which I can recommend

https://www.biblegateway.com/
If you drop down the translation button, you can see way more translation than bible.cc provides.

You can try NIVUK, that is what i heard from others...could be the best closest translation..but that is what people tells me.

My hair is getting whiter by the day. Is it biblical to dye?

Why of course!

For the apostle Paul says,  " I Dye daily . . . . ." 
Can Christians buy 4D & Toto?

Well sure thing!

There's a book called "Numbers" in the Bible.
K, see y'all
