Last time i checked the word "image" doesnt mean it's real.
Else, you want me to believe you are an unlearned idiat.
so God image in which you was created in is not real, I accept. For the first time since your conception, you just made sense. Now apply that logic to God existence and you would also tell me God is not real too.

If God made man lower than him and vulnerable to sin, why does he expect perfection from man like not to commit sin?

We are free moral agents, designed for earth. God couldda made us robots, but He didn't, we have a choice in the matter " for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" ~Rom 3:23.
People sin because;
1. There is no fear of God before their eyes.~ Rom 3:18
2. We are deceived by sin ~ 1 John 1;8
3. There's temporary pleasure in sin ~ James 1:14
4 They are decieved by false doctrines ~ Gal 1:9
5. The influence of pple they associate with ~1 thes 5;22
6. We are ignorant ~ james 4;7

As long as humans exists, we will never be able to retire the concept off sin cos definately exists.

uh-oh! Sorry for that.
Perfection means "complete, without flaws"
God didnt create the perfect being else human wouldda been robots that needed not oxygen and energy for metabolisms to live.
The moment he made us low and designed for earth, flaws sets in. ~Psalms 23,
We need him to be complete and without flaws.
Jesus instructed men to pray; "Our father in heaven.. ..lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power and glory...~Mat 6;13.
Humans ain't perfect and are prone to temptations.
Shelly. F once said " i abhor the idea of perfect life, it would bore me to tears.
However, Jesus came to make our imperfect perfect.
Hope i have answered your question?

Why would a perfect God purposely create an imperfect being? Having in mind he would send them to hell if they fall short to already imperfect nature he created in them in.

It's easy when scientist says; there are colours, lights and sounds that can't be seen nor heard with our naked eyes and ears but you doubt that God is a spirit.
Consider spirits as those energy we couldn't see with our naked eyes.
You'll need faith to see God.

c'mon....Don't you think, okay maybe because you a female, if you were a guy I would so bash you exposing your ignorance but I feel you a girl being amazed at me not believing in what you believe in and you so curious to know why?, With that said, I would oblige to unravel some facts to you, okay? just point out where you not clear or feel lost.

I know good from bad because, you don't need religion to be moral, rather its religion that's needs good to be moral.
You were born innately knowing morality because when you hurt me and I cry, you would feel bad so its in you, you can't be taught that. Another example is, Nobody ever told you not to kill your mom, you innately know if you kill your mom you would miss her forever so you even protect her for external dangers. Is that taught in church? No, its part of you.

I don't wanna start blowing my trumpet, I know how many people I help on daily basis even my lecturers in school, I sometimes help their bills, I sometimes pay help to pay my course mate school fees and other few things, its apart of me to know good from wrong.

Bill gates and Warren Buffet are both atheist but they donated half their wealth to charity, they don't know God.

But

The pope of the catholic,if you don't pay money to him, he would never visit your country. If am lying check that on google. Also, the catholic priests are know for molesting young boys since when the catholic church began and it still happens.

Even in the bible, God violated his own commandments, he encouraged rape, slavery, mass murder, cannibalism, killing of baby etc.

If you put to bed and I grab your baby and dash him against the rock for him to die,will you like it? But your God said, its good in psalm 137:9.

So you see, its religion that needs morality to operate that why you hear you church having to preach morality every sunday.

Atheist like me don't morality cus I know Good from bad, Christians, Muslims etc are all in jail for religions crime and all but it has NEVER EVER been reported that an atheist is jailed.

Youuper human mind made you differenciate
It them.
My God is awesome.He said He will confuse us all with our difference in belief just to prove He is a great God. I won't criticise you becos that what He want you to Blv.
At list I learnt some pple have going miles just to prove there is no God.
As for me and my household we blv in God.

So with all my point you still could tell me, God wanted me be an atheist...haha, you really indoctrinated and its not your, you grew up that way, If you had grew In a civilized society such as sweden reverse would have been the case. But You grew up in a bastardized, cultural and primitive continent know as third world, The reason Africa is known as third world is because of their inimical primitive culture and RELIGION infested societies where nobody thinks but pray and also raise children into adults who don't also think but pray. Later you start wondering why African don't evolve.

So goodluck with you and your family, Life cycle of mental slavery, it didn't start with you and will not end with you but you can make a difference and see if the revolution will not affect your next generation positively. Again, In God you trust, goodluck because God is just another version of satan which at the end of the day they both equal to nothing.

Im not concerned with your typo errors, im concerned with your mental state as indicated in your above quote, you deadbrain.

But If you feel you are above typo errors, im sure people can see you've made a fool of yourself once again. Ive bolded your errors. You can start a new life by improving your english. angry

If you equally feel that the "number of likes" determine how reasonable a comment is, then you've only succeded once again in proving how insecure, unstable and stup!d you are.
Below is an example of a thread where a man who assaulted his wife was looking to make amends. Im sure you can see which comment got the highest "like" numbers.

Since you feed on likes, i suggest you sit back and never quote me again, i feel irritated replying you.

It does not mean He was exhausted . He just stopped creating on the seventh day .

Psalm 121:1- 4



God never sleeps or slumbers , so why does He NE eko d rest ? Is he a human or a biological life form ?

I mean I find it so hard to believe in this God. Too much inconsistencies in the Bible. Too deep a silence from God since the biblical era.

How do you do it? How can you live through all these absurdities and inconsistencies in the Bible without asking questions or without harbouring questions. And how are you so sure about the bible being the dictates of God, especially considering the fact that is filled with scientific inaccuracies and absurdities? How do I get this type of faith that makes me start accepting stuffs that I ordinarily would reject without qualms?

I am sincerely baffled. Can anyone really "save" me?

I like you. You are straightforward. I was like you many years ago. In my own case it wasn't the Bible my source of disappointment but the so called beleivers.
But my source of help for conviction is Holy Spirit. Beloved the bible says in Luke 11:13 that God will always answer your prayer for requesting for Holy Spirit. I tested that hypothesis, and found out its a law.
Also, my experience in world of science and design help me to believe in writings of Psalm 19.

Also, when I realise that as powerful as men and devil with his demons are, they have not been able to stop earths' rotation on its own axis even for a nanosecond, humm, I know there is God ooo.

Aaronson the buffoon reasons with his armpit . Now , let's use his claims against him . According to him , Sweden is an atheistic country ... right ? So there are no crimes in Sweden , Australia , Netherlands and North Korea ?

According to BBC , Sweden's rape cases are on the spotlight . Sweden is described as the rape capital of the West . Australia , a self-acclaimed atheistic country was also described as the kidnapping capital in the World .

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-19592372

Now when these perpetrators of these horrendous crimes who are supposedly atheists get arrested , hasn't that alone refuted his bizarre claims that no atheist has been arrested ?

aaronson , is simply making a fool of himself and I'm shocked no atheist has stood against the foolishness being displayed here . Bro winner01 , imagine if a christian made that claim and we all know how these atheists would have reacted - labeling the christian as ret.arded .

You so icecy stu pid and juicy ignorant to think I made the fallacy you claimed.

I never said crime don't occur in Sweden, Dummy erect your ear and listen, I said, worldwide in general, Christians, muslims and other religion go to war for religion reason and are being put in prison for that same purpose, but have never seen no one atheist but put in prison for committing any religion related offence.
