It is only the Christian God that has enemies... The creator of the Universe has none.. He created everything for a purpose... And everything accomplishes their purpose.....

The devil does not exist... And Satan simply refers to an adversary.. Which could be anything and anyone.. Which is a tool God created to measure our spiritual growth..

jesusjnr:
Because He chose to!

So Omnipotent, yet so humble.

LordReed:


What is humble about choosing conflict?

It seems God love drama.

[s]You people have come again. The same God you don't believe in but is in your hearts and mind everyday.

Anyway the omnipotent God has a lot of enemies including you ungrateful elements that do not appreciate the reason for your existence. However , because he is merciful and loving that is why you are still living and witnessing the beauty of his creation.

You people will definitely experience God..those that fought harder than you have much to say. Good night you'all[/s]

LordReed:
As I understand it an omnipotent being can accomplish any desire that is logically possible. If this is so, conflict arises from unfulfilled desires, these could be fulfilled and all conflicts ended. Why isn't this the case?

johnydon22:
There is nothing wrong in having a discussion about something you don't believe exists

And besides, God, affects everyone in indirect ways: In Government, on the street, buses, constitutional considerations, so yes, God is a matter of public concern since it affects the public.

To assert that a being that is omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, literally owns everything that exists can be antagonized or remotely care is mind blowing.

Seems incredible small and vulnerable to me then

God sounds incredibly petty from this.

We live in a world that is saturated by the effects of God. We witnessed in the Crusades of the dark ages, inquisition, murder of millions of Africans in the name of evangelism and colonialism, North Eastern Nigeria is feeling it quite well, speakers hung all over Lagos and Abuja ridding us of sleep, on the streets with mad people screaming under the sun with washed out coats, in the buses.

Yeah, I'm betting we experience a lot of God already.

peggywebbs:

I don't agree with you o. There are many things that don't exist and I don't see anyone talking about it everyday. I don't believe fairies exist and I don't raise topics about it. You athiests constantly raise topics about God everyday.

And please when you talk about the murder of millions in religion you all are still in error. How can you blame God for the murder of millions. You people have failed to seperate the work of a human being from that of a God you don't believe exist.

If a Christian kills it's the same as when a non believer kills. You kill with your hands, God doesn't put the guns in anybody's hands because he wants people to fight his battles. You keep comparing psychopaths that hide under religion. Extremism is not the work of God, it is just a mental patient with a bible.

And again God is omnipotent and yes he has enemies because the last time I checked we all have free will. It's the free will we have that allows you to come on nairaland to oppose the idea of a God. Like I said many times before your problem is not God, it is man. Man to man. Just as you don't believe in God, some other crazy people believe in aliens, some crazy people believe that when they fight for God they get virgins ,some will even think killing enemies of God means they get a share in ruling heaven. These are all mental patients.

nairalandposter:


Once again, your post has nothing to do with your topic, and you also as usual, present as fact unrelated premises.

hakeem4:
First of all, i feel god is very petty! when an atheist brings up a question about god. There are two major reasons
1) to understand how believers interpret god. (how they understand the concept of god)
2) to mock god

who commanded them to go on a killing spree?

well, if i decide i want to go on a killing spree because i read a verse in my bible or my quran which commanded to kill non believers. (don't forget the holy book was supposedly authored by the omniscient and moral standard being). Then this means something is wrong with god and that particular religion


GOD CAN NOT BE OMNISCIENT AND HAVE FREE WILL AT THE SAME TIME! How on earth is that possible?

jesusjnr:
Well I already answered the question of your Op, so you might have to open another thread to get the answer to this one.

LordReed:

jesusjnr:
Well I don't know about drama, but I know God loves you.

LordReed:


It is well within the ambit of this thread for that question to be answered.

tintingz:


Like allowing evil to exist, yeah he loves me.

jesusjnr:
No it's not!

The OP's question is about God's Omnipotence, not humility.

And I have dealt categorically with that.

So do as I've asked if you want an answer to the next question from me.

peggywebbs:

jesusjnr:
Yes, by allowing you to exist, He loves you!

LordReed:


You tied the god's omnipotence to humility not me so the question remains valid. Of course it's your prerogative to answer or not but I will not open another thread for it.

tintingz:
Did I tell him I want to exist?

You didn't answer the question, so God is love by allowing evil to exist?

jesusjnr:
No I didn't.

What I tied to God Omnipotence as far as the Op was concerned, was His prerogative to chose, not His humility!

That's just a bonus for those who could comprehend it not for those who can't and would be questioning it.

So If you want to ask me questions, ignore the humility aspect and focus on my answer.

jesusjnr:
Because He chose to!

So Omnipotent, yet so humble.

tintingz:
Did I tell him I want to exist?

You didn't answer the question, so God is love by allowing evil to exist?

LordReed:


This is your post:



This is you tying the omnipotence to the humility, there is no ambiguity here. If you didn't want to tie them together then why did you mention it? Besides my question still is focused on the choice. The choice for conflict does not in anyway show humility or omnipotence but I guess you have an innovative way of looking at it hence the question.
