Alternate Reasoning by Eddlad: 10:45pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
The purpose of this thread is solely supposed to create an avenue for back and forth sharing of knowledge but in as much as that is the case posters should be on topic.I will share some of the questions and views often asked or raised and try to debunk, enlightened, add to or provide different perspective. All views and opinions are welcomed. GOD CURES CANCER BUT CANNOT BOIL AN EGG Religious people think God can create a universe from nothing but they know he can't mow a lawn. He can cure cancer but can't boil an egg. I sometimes wonder why people think God can do impossibly hard things when they know he cannot do the simplest things a child can do. Why do we think God can do some things but not others? It seems that God CANNOT do anything that has a fully predictable outcome. We know how to boil an egg but leave the egg, saucepan and water out for God to do the job and it will never happen. However, we do not know how to cure a common cold. Colds almost always get better but we cannot predict exactly when you will recover. That is where God comes in. There is a place for God in any process that we do not fully understand or that has an outcome that can be predicted only as a probability. There's a great probability of driving safely from Lagos to Ibadan so that's a job for God. And guess what? God takes care of you 99.98% of the time. Perfect, God works! No, God does not work. God is self-deception on an industrial scale. Came across this sometime today and realise its commonly asked so lets start with this. Yeah, so why not just destroy the devil and lets get on with it? Why allow terrorist, rapist , serial killers , corrupt politicians , and whatnot operate? Lets cite an instance where an only child of a couple is about die from say a terminal disease, upon being faced with this reality they pray to God and he answers and heals her.Twenty years down the line the mother falls victim to yet another and they besiege God to save her also, so then I ask does there come a time they reconcile with the inevitability and not seek Gods help?why and when? I believe has his own ways of helping whiles still maintaining balance and purpose of life. My post and views may not profer solutions which we individually seek but hopefully it will provide fresh perspective and appreciation of different reasoning as it unfolds. |
