Why did religion become a tool of division instead of unity, why do our spiritual leaders differ so much about what the spiritual is all about, why is there so many versions of God from said spiritual leaders and their books, why so much confusion about you?

So in summary, you are saying he picks and chooses what he knows and what he doesn't. Ok. Because I don't understand how he can know that sarah would have a kid at an age where she shouldn't.


You see for those who surrender their life to God, everything about them is at God's mercy. He determines what happens and when it happens to them. They become like a boat at the mercy of a rowing God. God being the designer is ever certain of where their lives head. He knows everything about their present and future. The beauty of the surrender however is that whenever whatever happens, they can be certain that God time is the best. That answers Sarah's question. In choosing a path of faith, Abraham and sarah surrender all to God and got rewarded for it. They allowed God designed a life for them. God with whom nothing is impossible chose for Sarah to have a child in her old age. Sarah's case is God's deliberate choice and not one that happened by chance. For all who yields their live to God they face the same circumstance. God in his wisdom designs a life that defiles many natural laws for them. That is why they must live by faith and not sight. Based on what God can do and not what the world says is possible or not.

For those who rejects God, God is not in control of their essence. However what is certain is that they head for perdition because they reject God who is the spring source of a living water and dug for themselves a leaking cistern. They live a random life, a life of chance. The devil is in charge of their being. Their will is theirs and the devil's and not God's.

man brought suffering unto himself by dis obeying God in the garden of eden and further worsening it during the time of Noah which led to God's wrath destroying the earth.

No! why did HE create man and left the spirit of doubt in man if truly He meant a "peaceful existence" for men?

First you said he was not all knowing. Now you say he is. Please make up your mind. It still points to my argument that it confounds me that my father who is all knowing, will knowingly create and allow me sin and then send me to hell. It does not make any sense.

Evil is absence of good and God is the source of all good. Lucifer was created good but turn himself evil when he forsook God, the source of goodness.

Evil is the absence of good? Ah! That's a lie. If there was nothing like evil then the absence of good would've been more GOOD. But for the absence of good to be evil, that means evil already existed so that you can either switch to the former or latter.

Even your God demonstrated that in the Bible when he created the tree of good and evil in the garden of eden.


In the same vein anyone who rejects God lacks capacity to be good and turn evil. Man by nature is evil without God.

So I'm evil? sad

Just like darkness is purely absence of light. If you are without God, sadly but truthfully you are EViL.

Go back and comprehend what I wrote. That argument pertains only to those who has yielded their lives to God to direct. If you are a driver at driver's seat, won't you know where you passenger presently occupy and where their final destination will be?

I like the way you think. Twisting words to suit your argument but avoiding the actual meaning of the words. Typical. Lol. Your definitions;

1. ALL KNOWING: Having knowledge of events only some of the time.

2. Faith: The ability to believe in an outcome wholeheartedly whilst the said outcome has already been predetermined.

Contradiction galore. grin

Why would he display such arrogance and superiority while he is commanding his minions to be meek and submissive.


He should be loyal in dealing with his creations not doing like a mafia boss
Lol...that is what u think...but in truth he is humble...maybe d question u wanted to ask is y God did not create us in a way that we can't see in face to face. Buh me I will assume it is cos he wants u to know how powerful he is and to let humans know that he is a being to be feared not in a negative sense this time Buh in a way that will move us to praise him more...come to think of it av u seen devil before? God is a spirit being humans are not created to see spirit being don't ask y cos d answer is also d same reason God did not create fishes and lions to think and talk like humans. U can know God without seeing him. Follow DX link https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/see-god/

Lol. Humans are so funny and shortsighted. What then would you say about those who actually take further steps to kill christians.
You see, the problem with both christians and non christians is that we try to quantify God with our created senses, we also try to equate God's mind with ours.
In human reasoning, paul would rot in hell, but see how it turned out. David should die painfully. and so on.
Its funny how we try to confine the Creator of human reasoning within the bounds of human reasoning.

Until we begin to see God for the Creator He is, we will always ask shortsighted questions.

God has used the foolish things of this world to confound the wise - 1Cor. 1:27

 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
"'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. Matthew 13: 12-14

Best of luck.
