God Is Testing You? What Nonsense. by Martinez19(m): 6:30pm On Sep 26, 2017
How can god know the future and still be testing you? What sort of rubbish is this? What is the purpose of him testing when he knows the result? Must he test? This is not compatible with reason at all. It's psychopathic. grin angry

There is nothing useless about this post. OP asked a good question. What is the purpose of testing when you are fully aware of the results? What might we call such a test?

"Free will": the ability to do wateva we want is created with all humans, it makes us totally unpredictable.. even for God(don't get it twisted, still doesn't mean he isn't all-knowing) , and that was why he said in genesis according to the bible that it grieved God that he made man.
It isn't that he ddnt know Adam can Bleep up but he hoped he would make a better decision since even though he has the power, he will never force anyone to his will by taking away his free will . That's the beauty of love we can't understand sometimes
God did not created us as a zombie destined for an unchangeable glory or doom, he only created existing possible outcomes to the decision we decide with our free will making him even more powerful to know ur two possible outcomes..
But decision and ur destination is still up to you and you only.

Very valid question. Why is God testing people when he already knows the end from the beginning as the religious books put it?

Yea, it always bugged Me back then.. I was like "why create certain people when you surely know that they'll take the "wrong path" ? Anyways, like all other bugging questions, I just shrugged it off saying "God knows "

Its one of the attributes of God that wasn't well thought out.

On the contrary!!! .....he is even more powerful by: at the same time creating and knowing two possible future outcomes of our lives.....

But because he will never take our free will...he leaves the decision in our hands..so that we can't really say he made you evil that's why ur became evil and end up going to to the part of destructionl...or he made me good dats why am mother Teresa and will get to paradise.

Sir, I happen to be a teacher. In my class, there are very intelligent, averagely intelligent and dull students. At the end of the term, all the students are tested. From experience, I know those who will likely pass and those who will likely fail. However, it wrong for me to announce those who do well and those who do not without a verifiable test. Although I know what the results will likely be, the students and their sponsors must be shown the scorecard for them to know that I was not biased in my assessment. God knows those who will pass and those who will not. Yet He allows the test or trial of faith. The case of Job is a typical example. God knew that Job would pass the test. He even boasted concerning Job to Satan. Satan wanted to prove God wrong which was the basis of Job's intense calamities and sufferings. But thanks be to God. Job's end was better as he was compensated after passing the test. May we all pass every test that comes our way I J N, Amen.

I agree... Anyways, its been debated for years, even long before us.. I'd love to see a theist come up with a new valid argument for God in this case and I do hope it doesn't degenerate to name-calling and insults.
Re: God Is Testing You? What Nonsense. by Nobody: 7:58pm On Sep 26, 2017
I know you must be joking... but entertain me,

So, question:

Do or did you ask this question to your school teachers or university proffessors(if you are old enough for university as i suspect you are not?

And when you asked this question, did you get a failing grade or you just kicked out of school straightaway?

Hint: your teacher wrote the test AND has the aswer key to test questions.

in other words, he doesn't know our future actions. he can once guess the potential outcomes?

Funny! God wrote code for humans and the universe, and it's full of bugs! Instead of debugging his flawed code, claims he's a flawless programmer and sends his buggy apps to hell.

his teacher doesn't know the outcome. the teacher can only guess his future potential performance. but God is supposed to know his exact performance in advance. whether he would score a 51% or a 91% on the dot.

mtewwwwwww, please think before you type. The lectures know the answer before setting an exam but if they had known that I am more than qualified and knowledgeable, the exam would not have held.
