What Does God Do For A Living? by cold(m): 4:44pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
I often ask myself,ok assuming for a second there is truly a God out there what exactly does he do for a living? What's a normal day (which he claims it's a year to him)like up there in Heaven?Tsunamis happen,he sees them but doesn't make any attempt to stop it.Earthquakes rock nations & kill in the hundreds & he sees it coming & does nothing.Hurricanes,floods,famine,wars,violence,pestilence,conflagration,murders,rap3s,killings in his name which is even the saddest part & so many evil stuff too numerous to mention which God doesn't even make the slightest attempt to stop dead in their tracks. Seriously what exactly are God's responsibilities?I can't understand how a God considered the Alpha & Omega,the beginning & the end,the creator of the universe and so on & so forth can just sit on his throne and watch his project go to pieces.Or is it all part of the grand design?Again i ask,what exactly are God's responsibilities?Is is just to create as many human beings and leave them to their own devices?Is it just all singing and merrymaking up there with no regards for the sufferings of his creations? Is it all about building solid gold mansions and streets studded with rubies? Or is it listening to copious amount of prayers in different versions,styles & tongues?What exactly? If the argument is that God created a world bright & beautiful but the Devil ruined it.It begs the question,what is God's role right now in the grand scheme of things? 1 Like 1 Share |

@Ledafaze,that argument just doesn't stack up.It is weak & paint God as lazy & completely out of touch with the realities of the times we live in |

cold: @Ledafaze,that argument just doesn't stack up.It is weak & paint God as lazy & completely out of touch with the realities of the times we live in Please dont be cold as your name implies... lols... Be open and read inbetween the lines to see the real sense for yourself. Dont tell me you are waiting for me to point out that He is also responding to our prayers oh... He listen to the prayers of the saints... you know how many people are praying at this moment? Come on! He is a strategist making his plan come to pass... Making sure that He empowers his saints to be able to win more souls to the Kingdom and when its filled up (which I will be one of by His grace), then WE will then round things up! 3 Likes |

ledafaze:Oh please!This is akin to after struggling to put up a beautiful house,you just sit there and watch someone knock it down brick by brick and do nothing.Whist saying to yourself,you're waiting for the right time to react.Does that even make sense to you?Or would you give the 'God's ways are not our ways' standard rhetoric reserved for all trick questions? |

Re: What Does God Do For A Living? by cold(m): 6:19pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
ledafaze:My question is as straight forward as they come.Why has the world gone pear shaped under God's watch?If we can criticise the president for not living up to his responsibilities;a mere mortal what more an all seeing & all knowing God.Shouldn't more be expected of him? |

ur questions are valid and many times we dont like to admit we may not have all the answers. Like yourself, i have a lot of questions. At first they were mostly casual but then early this year i experienced a major tragedy that shook my world and all of a sudden the questions became personal and more urgent. I got angry, raved, rebelled, am still angry but even it somehow my faith keeps me. I may not be able to explain all d darkness and pain but i know in it God's light shines on us if we open ourselves to it. I knw a whole lot of grief is of human origin but that does not explain it all, lyk i said still searcing for answers. |

Mr Cold... U luk tu me a Phil student. Well... D strenth of Ur argument lies in d Fact dat there z "Evil in d Universe". But i dnt tink dats enuf reason 2 question Gods xistenc or lack of actions. I "believe" God must av REASONS 4 alowin tins apen d way dey do; and we cant always xpect Him(God) to giv us reasons why he alows dese tinz apen(Why is He God in d fest place). I wil just enjoin u 2 tke d fideist stanc. bliv in Jesus nau... Nd liv acordin 2 His tenets. If U die nd dere z aa reality of Heaven nd hell.. Den u wud mke heaven..nd if dere isnt.. U wont b loosin anytin. |

▲▲▲ And why should i spend the rest of my life pretending to pay obeisance to an imaginary friend just to make a group of people happy. This god has done absolutely nothing to earn my respect,& if you're totally honest with yourself you'd agree your god adds no value to your existence. But out of fear,you resign yourself to fate & make excuses for your imaginary friend..'God cannot be questioned'.'God works in mysterious ways'. And so on & so forth |

Alfa-B: What does satan do for a living? (Let's assume this is a brilliant question) |
Re: What Does God Do For A Living? by Gombs(m): 4:48pm On Oct 21, 2013 |
cold: Ever heard of the noun SATAN or DEVIL? Well, God does not legally have a right to this world, remember he casted down Satan n his cohorts down here from heaven for their rebellion, so Satan ruined the earth God wonderfully created and he still is. God ONLY interferes on Earth matters through man. So if man don't pray, satan keeps wrecking havoc and make you blame God. Well, I knw you don't really need answers nor truth, I just typed the above for those who'd view this page to learn. Meanwhile, why ask what immortals do for a living? Immortals live outside time, they don't need food or work or business or monies or such to survive/live I must say, that's a very intelligent question |
Re: What Does God Do For A Living? by cold(m): 5:05pm On Oct 21, 2013 |
Gombs: So God just sits his backside & watch his creation go to pieces because he is incapable of checkmating Satan,Lucifer or whatever nomenclature he goes by. Yeah makes perfect sense. Then he shouldn't be regarded as all knowing,almighty etc. Because he is clearly impotent & incapacitated to stop anything. Or on the other hand, he could be the cause of everything evil in the world today & only looking for a bogeyman..referred to as the devil to blackmail for his actions. Remember it was God that said this...not the devil

Gombs:Cool. Finally someone is getting the message |

Venerable612: Mr Cold... U luk tu me a Phil student. Well... D strenth of Ur argument lies in d Fact dat there z "Evil in d Universe". Typical, living in denial, and trying to play smart with your "God". It amazes me the way most religious people worships their God like he's some kind of computer software, programed to work in a specific way. |
