haibe:

if God stopped every action because he knows, then he created humans like robots and infact this world won't make sense, think of it.

Does it not bother you that some one who has actually seen the future or knows what will happen still acts surprised or pissed off? U agree then that God already saw it happen....so why the anger like he had no idea Uzzah could do such a thing? Or was he expecting Uzzah to act differently? Perhaps he should have just gone on to create humans like robots then, if he really cant bear the thought of anyone disobeying him. At least no one would have to burn in hell....I'm actually thinking bro. I employ you to do same.

So you are saying God striking Uzzah down without warning in that scenario is morally right and fair, even though Uzzah apparently had no ill intentions? you seriously dont find anything wrong with any of that? Even David was displeased, but I guess out of fear he couldnt really get angry at God....well, I rest my case. But deep down, something tells me, that anyone including you haibe wont find such an action unfair. Its funny however, if you were to read a similar story any where else but the bible, you would probably be infuriated and call for justice. I rest my case.
you know He actually gave u a sincere answer but you just decide to ignore it.
You actually want him to tell you what you wanted to hear,this is what weary me abt u athiest.
God is God and He is just,u want God to reason like human,but no,that is why He is God,it is pride that makes people to become athiest,PRIDE,it is not abt asking questions but PRIDE,not wanting to humble one-self.
I pray God will help you.

another sincere answer he gave u up there!
Good that u r actually thinking.
If God had interfare,u ppl wld v screamed again,why did he do that.
The people of OT lived by Law,you know what you must do and what u must not do and more importantly you know the consequence of whatever u do.
God has given us the ability to choose,make the right choice and u r good,make d wrong choice and u pay for it,ppl shld nt blame God for the wrong choices they make.
It is just like a man who went ahead to rob a bank(and he knows that that is wrong),yet he chose to do it,then he better not be caught cus he is going to pay for it,now shld God help him with d robbery? Or help him get caught?,since He knws d future?
Whatever decision u make today,there is a result and consequence,that is why we must all choose Jesus.
Shalom.

smh....There's no point really. You wouldnt find fault with anything as far as the Bible says "God did it or God allows it". so much for 'Mercy' and 'kindness'. Why? He could have just struck down Adam and Eve as well since it pisses him off that much when people disobey.

like you said in a previous post, it all boils down to opinion on how judgement should be, so why bother about how God choses his own judgement/consequence for a particular sin or action?


tony_runo:

In the end, it all boils down to opinion...for me, i'd rather they suffer the consequences of their actions that way.

Come on bro! In that scenario we were talking abt some one who had commited 'murder' which is much more serious, compared to touching a box....lets create a different scenario! Lets say Uzzah was actually a stubborn person, he remembered the law of not touching the ark but refused to obey....infact he got sick and tired of people telling him not to touch the ark and decided not only to touch it but push it to the ground just for the fun of it to see how God wld react. Isnt it more logical then for God at that point to get really pissed and strike quickly? Or maybe u dont see my point. Anyway, you cant deny the fact that as time went by God seemed to have taken some sort of anger management classes/ gone into anger rehab. The new testament is clear evidence that he decided to tone down. No more flash killings n stuff....in the old testament, someone touched his box(stopped it from stumbling off) and he went berserk. In the new testament, his only begotten son is tortured and killed, instead he watches on....amazing transformation i must say

Pffft. Here we go again! Free will becomes an illusion as far as an all-knowing God exists....in the absence of omni-science, then yeah there is free will...there is no simpler way I can break this down for you really but I will try. For instance, lets say you have the ability to see the future like God does....u sit somewhere watching two people, a guy and a girl playing a game of choice....the girl holds out her hands with a ball on each palm....red ball on left palm, blue ball on right palm...and then she asks him to pick one....because u can see the future you already know which ball he will pick...fact is, as far as u can see the future, whatever u see is what will be the outcome. He couldnt pick anything contrary to what u've seen....u look into the future and u see he picks the blue ball, its impossible for him to pick the red one....if for some reason he picks the blue one, that means one thing and one thing alone! U dont have the ability to see the future in other words u r not all knowing....in the case of the robber, God already knew how this person's life would play out even before he/she was born...so tell me, how could they ever do a different thing as opposed to what has been foreseen?

The truth is they don't really believe or understand anything, however they are too scared to think otherwise and of course they really want to make "heaven" so they continue playing the 'zombie'. They say the love of God supersedes any other love! Lol! Apparently these human beings no longer understand what that word means!

Ray McBlue:

To reach a certain point of decision, there is always a reason. To become an atheist, there is a reason, a reason that questions the existence of a supernatural being that couldn't be seen or proved.

When a lightening strikes, you see it, you even know what caused it, so thus lightening can be proved. When a breeze blows, you feel the touch even though it's invisible to the naked eyes. Not believing in all this scientifically proven and physical manifestation of nature could only be construed as foolhardy or pride or just plain foolishness.

Your god on the other hand is not only invisible but doesn't manifest in anyway, so then how could you accuse me of being too proud of admitting that I believed in something that wasn't really there to begin with? Something that is only based on faith and sentiments, and not logic?

How does that make sense?

all I have to say is that the moment you start doubting God's existence and going against God's personality then you are already doomed. A word is enough for the wise..... It is written in the Bible already that when the world is coming to an end, people who will speak against God and doubt God's existence will rise up, they will do these thinking they know what is right and that they are being truthful... It wont be their fault coz they are already blinded by the devil and it will take God's grace for them to come out of it.....

So I urge others to stop arguing with people who speak against God, the holy spirit and the Bible because they will end up making you to sin since that is their main purpose that the devil has bestowed upon them. Dont let them succeed. Beware of the antichrist!!!!!!!!!!!!!
