If God is all good, almighty, and all knowing...

fo sho

 

Your idea of god is wrong.

In today's society if someone were to have the power god possessed then they would do everything you listed. Like prevent other gods to be worshipped ect.


edit: sorry i was on m iphone, now im at my comp so ill further explain.

1 and 2 are pretty much the same question. he didnt create it, it create itself when adam and eve first sinned by eating the forbidden fruit. they are the ones responsible for this.

3. this goes along with free choice. what kind of loving god would he be if he destroyed any other idol or thing that claimed that they were "god"? that would make god contradict himself, so out of love he allows us to do whatever.

4. of course he knew lucifer was going to betray him. just like how he knew, judas was going to betray him. but again, he allowed that to happen to use it as an example. he knew that coming to this earth, that his children(people) would persecute him and call him a liar but he knew already knew that, and the only way we would be saved would him sacrificing himself.

5. this universe was actually perfect in every shape and form when man was first created. but adama and eve fucked that all up. because of man(us) we have destroyed this perfect universese.

please, you sound ignorant. reading the bible can answer all of your questions.

to your last statement, then what is your idea of god? does this "god" need to be tangible? these religions go off the bases of faith. yes, this is not pleasing and i also have trouble understanding and believing but trust me, reading the bible can do wonders.

 

Have faith

 

This is a variation on the Euthyphro Dilemma: Does God command the good because it is good, or is it good because it is commanded by God?

 

I'm on my iPod so I cant post this video I want to post

But basically it says that God did it create evil but rather evil was made by the absence of God. They compare it to saying cold or darkness doesn't exist but it is just the absence of heat and light. Evil doesnt exist in a sense it is just what comes from people not having God in there life.

Hope that helped

 

Then God is not omnipotent nor omnipresent - why call him god?

 

I don't see how that makes him less powerful if people choose not to obey his laws...

 

Your question is known as "the logical problem of evil". You can Google it for some possible answers.

 

I'll write more later. For now, in the simplest words, just to give you a heads up on some of my thoughts, (I'm on my iTouch which isn't good for too long of a post, and this ought to be long, knowing me.), I basically think of it sort like karma. Karma includes both good and bad, but God only created karma. Like he isn't of good or bad nature, but of karmic nature, but it isn't karma necessarily. lol More later.

 

Because God is often defined as omnipotent and omnipresent. If people choose not to obey his laws, he cannot possibly be either of those things.

It's as simple as that. Anything else is either a misnomer or compartmentalization.

This is the problem with absolutes.

 

because he is the creater of the universe...

 

yes you do sound ignorant because this are childish questions. you can easily find these answers yourself but you dont.

how does that make any sense at all? attacking the messanger and not the message? i answered everyone of your questions. i sense that you have taken offense...

actually yes the bible does, try reading it... thats correct, it was written by men who followed and lived for christ. again, try reading the bible before trying to put it down.

 

Fail.
Oh and the bible was written by who? All of it? Really now?

 

Forget about it dude. Trying to talk sense into a Religious man is like trying to teach a retard how to count to 10.

 

lmao...
