Yes he should. Why couldn't he just create a conducive indoor environment for his kids instead of taking unnecessary extreme measures.

What is free will?
In the exams you write in school, when you are given a multiple choice question (OBJ), are you asked to select a right answer out of right answers?

Really? Think before you post!

You choose to call him "The creator" and I and other Christians choose to call him "God".
My Bible said, to every Man his own, hold on tight to the creator and don't let anyone take it away from you, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Living God.

I called "it" the creator. No one knows how the creator looks... You live your life based on a book and I live my life based on the creators' logic.

Let me note a verse in the bible
"I have given before you the power of life and death, a curse and a blessing, that you may choose one but I advice you to choose life that you and your children may live"

That explains it all.
I have said God is everything, he knows everything, he created everything( whatsoever your mind thinks of right now, he knows it) And just like him, he made you, with the power to do good or evil, all you have to do is choose!

Why should I trust Him?
Well I trust because he created me (I mean why will he create me, give me an instruction only to fail me, doesn't sound right).
I trust him his Word is Amen, it's always the same, he never lies (Infact even if he lies, they turn to truth)
Oxford dictionary never goes wrong not because there are no wrong words there but because they are the originator of words, so is God he can't lie because what he says is the Law.
Again I trust him because all through my sojourn in life and even in the Bible, I have never heard that he failed anyone not at all!
Hmm...Good Thinking

If you read all my post, then you notice something, the one I know, I
will quote the verse in the bible where it is written, the one I don't
know, I suggest it to you.

I'm not telling God exist my mere hear say, no! I too use to doubt God's
existence, I never believed it, but one day, I felt his power, I saw a
miracle that did convinced me that indeed there is a God.

And then I tried him yet again in my own personal experience and and
again he proved to me that he very much exist!
Put a knife on my throat, kill me, amputate me, I will never, I repeat
never stop believing in God's existence, only a fool will see white
today and tomorrow will say that there is no white, I have seen the
works of God in my life and I will only be a fool to say that God is
made up!
Thank you![/quote]

I respect your stance as stated, what I don't respect is your proselytizing attempts. When you attempt to make someone see things from your point of view, then you should be ready to convince beyond reasonable doubt. So far, you've not succeeded at that. Read more bro...

God is not a man so stop using Logic, He is the Almighty God, He is everything but u don't need logic to know if God is good or Bad. U can't understand who God is until u re born of d spirit and you understand D Trinity. This topic is not 4 u OP. Go and start from D root.

grin it's confusing right?
But it's not!
What do you understand by worship God? Answer and we will take it from there

Worshiping God is an act of feeling inferior. In the ancient world, the humans on our planet worshiped beings that came from other planets because they possessed advanced technology that made them look like Gods. Actually the word God was derived from ancient humans who worshiped Krishna,Yahweh,the Elohim,Obatala etc.

A God is a being who can use vast amount of this brain abilities in a scientific definition.

With more knowledge you can be a God. I meant the right knowledge.

Messi is a God of football,isn't he? But not the only God.

This ain't a question of free will. Create an environment that won't necessitate your children needing to basterdize their "free will". Set the right questions as a father.

The creator created other creators (living and non living things) to either create good or evil just in the cause of living to die.

To be able to think using the creators' logic you have to overcome the worlds' way of thinking. I.e u have to overcome religion.

The fact remains that we live in a male dominated society. How could there be God the father,God the son and no Goddess the mother? Looks like some idiots are trying to manipulate the human race.

We clearly know that the fusion of male and female gives rise to creation/children . Why are women being sidelined in the stupid book called the bible?

Genesis 1&2. God created everything and man and saw dat it or they were good. Genesis is a picture of another creation after a previous one(Jeremiah4). D earth was full of darknes&formles(distorted). When we say God is good, we refer to His deeds&creation(including u), not Who He is. For His nature is undiscribable(1Tim.3:16). God bless u sir!

Billyonaire: In absolute truism, there is no good and evil. Everything works towards singularity. Think about earthquake, for victims of the cataclysmic natural tectonic re-alignment it is evil, but within the cosmic creativity, its core goal is the alignment of the san adreas fault, a sequence that can only make the planet better.

So in essence, Cosmic Infinity codenamed God by religion is neutrality. Both good and bad is of same source. That source is what you call God....2 sides of the same coin.

my thoughts exactly
Re: How Good Is God? by macof(m): 2:03pm On Aug 24, 2014
kadas01: The Truth is very simple but man has chose to complicate It!


TRUTH IS: The "Immeasurable Goodness" of GOD ALMIGHTY brought "everything created" into "being"!


And "THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR" Said....."Let There Be Light"!!!.......


The above testifies that THE GREAT CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH "does not and would never know evil"!! There is "nothing" like "evil" existing around "THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF"!


HE is, and remains "Goodness" Personified!


Shalom!

Then from where came evil?

God does feel anger and happiness!
He was angry with Man, thus he repented why he created Man, he was happy with David's sacrifice, thus he stopped his wrath (angel of death) from finishing Isreal, he was happy with Solomon's sacrifice, thus he he him wisdom, God has emotions dear! He is no robot.

Their is not always an equal reward for every good or evil, God said, " I will have mercy on whom I will have Mercy" some sinners go unpurnished and some don't.

One thing I have leant is that, A fully comprehensible God is no God at all.
God is still God because No one man can fully understand God, he is inexhaustible!

maybe I should stop using the word "God" being that Gods don't really exist.

The consciousness of the universe doesn't have emotions, isn't good or evil but balanced. All that is, is a body of consciousness that revolves all around the universe
When humans act it has a parallel effect on the fabric of existence, in order to maintain that balance an equal reward is delivered on the individual, thats Karma
There's nothing that concerns emotions here, it's just the nature of the universe

Hahahaha you make me laugh, it's all the same thing. And God created Man in his own image, he passed his trait to man, a consciousness of both good and evil, just God has the choice to kill Devil but he choosed not to because of a divine purpose, so also is me and you, with a choice not to patronise NairaLand but we choose to, Why? To fulfill the purpose of this thread! It is because you want to convince me, that is why your still posting me, so also the devil and hell was created by God because both are still fulfilling their purpose.

Actually am nt trying to convince u of wat ur consciousness level doesn't permit. However there are many who would gain a thing a or two from discussions like this.

now to address ur post:
There's no such thing as "consciousness of good and evil from God to man"
Our human/individual essence decides wat is good for us, and rejects the others
Although the essence is from our creator, not all creations have the same essence

That is why animals have no problem eating flesh straight up while humans need to cook

A man that eats meat raw like an animal has lost his human essence(otherwise; humanity)
A man who can't feel love, joy, pain, loss and other basic emotions has lost that human essence too, is as more stone than human

So No, humans don't have the traits of the creator, we aren't the only creations so why concentrate on humans when the spirit(of God) is in everything.
