When a man reads too much and begin to show some mental instability and curiosity he ask this question. Just note that our God is a good God; omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. We attribute every good thing to Him (depending on the divide you are) and blame Satan for every evil after all he's the devil. 3 Likes 1 Share |

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" ~ Epicurus
I don't owe Epicurus any explanation, the reason i am here is because Frosbel2 raised his questions from the Bible, otherwise i would not have had a time to waste with human philosophy. Based your questions on what the Bible says and i may have one or two things to say. However, the instance of Adam, Job and Jesus shows that the person Satan has a claim he is accusing Yahweh on, that his ways are bad and that Humans will not be obedient to him, and that his is better, hence he tempts all humans like he did the before mentioned persons above to act the way he Satan wishes> be disobedient to Yahweh. Every one has to take a stand for or against the opposing stance. Adam took a stance, Job did and same was Jesus. You either obey or disobey Yahweh. You too have a choice to make, either agree with Satan that humans don't need Yahweh to tell us what to do or you agree with Yahweh that he should tell you what to do like he was telling Adam what to do.. While Yahweh is waiting before taking action, is to give every one equal opportunity in every nation in all the earth. This Process going round the earth started with the nation of Israel and is spreading to all lands. Hence, it will take time to go round. After it has gone round to all the Earth as a witness to all the nations, then Yahweh will take action. Matt 24:14. Yahweh has demonstrated that he has all it takes to resolve the issues and sufferings, but on his own conditions. Haven't been bestowed with the beauty of Freewill, it beholds that your decisions and stance must be taken into consideration on matters that will affect you. Peace. 3 Likes |

You talked about Yahweh destroying his property and also talked about freewill. # First of all it depends on the nature of the property you're talking about, destroying a house, table is a non-living thing it doesn't apply here, killing animals is against animal rights, now killing intellectual concious emotional humans especially innocent ones is barbaric and wickedness. Do you support slave masters suffering and killing thier slaves because they own them? Even there is no emotional robots yet, destroying it is nothing. # Now to freewill, since Yahweh knows the beginning and end of everyone, he has planned everything (destiny), are we acting on freewill or destiny?

Yahweh is just as rational as that father and has the capacity and beyond to punish a wrong doer as he deemed necessary. Were humans not created in his image?
Again. If with a sling i went out of my way and was guiding someone on a cliff to support him, and this one i was guiding turned wicked, if i should leave the sling, what will happened to such a person?
If Yahweh, via his Holy spirit was helping Saul the king and Protecting him from evil, then this Saul turned wicked wanting to killed someone else that Yahweh love, If yahweh gets angry and abandons him, what will happen to Saul?
That the man i was helping on a Cliff with a string falls after i have left the string, am i the one that pushed him? NO!
That Yahweh abandons Saul and bad things happened to him, it does not mean Yahweh is evil, nor does the fact that i left the string supporting someone wicked makes me a wicked man. Rather, it shows that i hate evil.
Yahweh has the balanced capacity to exude blessings and exude punishment just like you and me. Is it only you that can punish evil and Yahweh cannot? Your good spirit is blessing and your bad spirit is punishment. Just a matter of nomenclature.
The story can be very long on what you have posted that we cannot exhaust it all here, but i can only say to you, keep a honest heart and never get angry with the one that gave you FREEWILL, never be angry with the one that gave you this ability to ask all this questions.
Peace. Thanks for coming around, I learnt a lot from this 1 Like 1 Share |
