So the children were punished to test the faith of their father right? I don't get how you see this as a good thing, we are talking of innocent kids who did not have anything to do with the situation here.

Why can't Job be tested like that? Why kill others to test someone else and in the end you bring new ones like they were pieces in some game. Like they are disposable.

D devil took those kids away, because gave gave his worf to the devil sayin he shd do whatever he pleases but not to touch his life

Now ask me why God made the decision to permit d devil to afflict Job.

Atheist sef, wen wud they stop seeing Christianity as the opposite of Atheism? They don't believe in God o, yet they try to judge him by what he did and didn't do. If then so, why don't atheists judge the devil for what he did n didn't do? I am assuming they don't belive in the devil too, but they mostly question God who dey dnt bliv in than d devil who they dnt bliv in too.

Its like me, I don't believe vampires existed before, why then would I question what they did or didn't do?

everything you see around you was invented by man to give meaning and purpose to life; religion,education, cars, electronics,medicine etc. tribulations and success are sides of the same coin just like good and evil. at the end of the day they dont mean anything. they are just random.

I am a Christian but that does not stop me from questioning things I don't understand.

You just listed out a pile of questions which are thought provoking but I have just one for you..

God created the world and everything in it right, but who Created God?

Actually, the egg came first. Remember if the hen does not lie on the egg it will never become a chicken.

Now answer my question if you dare or can.

The truth is that as Christians, there are loads of questions we can answer about our religion and we should be pround to say we don't know.

Someone her once said the book of Job did not really happen. He said it was just a story told to teach people to have faith and hope against hope that even in tribulations we should hold on to God and it seems true to me.

so without a hen how did the egg come about ? the point here is that the reality of the matter is that we have a hen and an egg and we are baffled as to who created which first, same with God. who created him. gerrit ? its a puzzle yet it is a reality starring us in the face. so what can you do but to just accept it ?

And since you understand that there will always be a string of events, you should be asking Gombs that question as he was the one asking questions about Atheism.

well based on your post i quoted initially, i was of the opinion that you wanted to know who created God, or at least that is what i got from your questioning. so maybe i was wrong in thinking you were inquiring grin

One of Gods greatest gifts, aside from the Atonement, is “Free Agency.” We all have it. Unfortunately, we have no control over others, who may impose their agency on us. The influence of others in our lives and the lives of those we love is not God’s acquiescence (acceptance). It is simply His respect for the gift He has given us.
