Maynman:Well, OK. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 2:39pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: Your god created man to suffer. Even a fellow human won’t do that. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 2:51pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:You are free to believe as you choose. |

Kobojunkie:But he's god and he can make the heart of man right or cant he? |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 2:55pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
arejibadz:Only if man chooses to have Him do so. He does not impose His Will on men neither can men impose their will on God. Men like Abel, Abraham, Isaac, etc., had to first submit their individual wills to God in order for God to make them right. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 2:56pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: It’s not a belief, I know it. It’s you that chose to believe a storybook lol |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by arejibadz(m): 2:57pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
schoolboymatt:persecution. Trials , tribulations not part of religion? |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by arejibadz(m): 2:58pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:But he created man so y cant he just have 100% right over man? |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:00pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
arejibadz:If God wanted puppets, He wouldn't have created men, but God didn't want puppets - He wanted Sons or God - so He created man. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by arejibadz(m): 3:03pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:god knew everything that's suppose to happen but still went ahead with it , no b god create man way day kill man,didn't he know man would kill man after creation then why didn't he avoid all this things man faces on earth? |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:04pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: So there are some things your god doesn’t know? How is that an “all knowing” god? If he is not all knowing how can he be perfect? |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by arejibadz(m): 3:04pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:den man turned his back on him , didn't he know all this |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:07pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
arejibadz:God knew from even before the beginning everything that is to happen. And He chose not to scrap His plan because He is God and regardless of the majority that reject Him, it is the few that will choose Him and becomes Sons of God that is His goal. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:07pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: So he knew he created imperfect humans and told them to perfect? |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:09pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
arejibadz:Not all men turned their backs on God, mind you, and God's goal are the few that will obey Him even where the majority do not. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:09pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: He knew he created disobedient children yet still want them to follow his rule? Is like you created a painting, after doing that you went to ease and came back, you saw the paintings you did then you got angry of how big the nose is, or how dull the eye is, exactly. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:10pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:Didn’t your god know which and which men will turn back or not? Or he just hoped? |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:11pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:I don't know where you get these tales of yours from.. Men were created perfectly able to choose right or wrong from the beginning, this by God. So there was no mistake made as far as the creation of men. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:12pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: You said god knew and still created man that way, he knew we will be imperfect and still went ahead to do it. So your god didn’t know that man will choose evil? And he is all knowing?
|
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:13pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:Again.. Not all men turned their backs on God, mind you, and God's goal are the few that will obey Him even where the majority do not. Try to digest before you respond abeg! |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:14pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: So god created all of man but chose some to suffer and a few to get to heaven. God created man to suffer? You are contradicting yourself. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:14pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:Again..... I don't know where you get these tales of yours from.. Men were created perfectly able to choose right or wrong from the beginning, this by God. So there was no mistake made as far as the creation of men. Try to properly digest what you read before you respond. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:15pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: You told me told the tales. Your god knew man will do evil yet still created man with that evil? You are contradicting yourself.
|
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:15pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:The contradiction isn't born of anything I have said so far but of the various leaps in judgement you continue to make. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:16pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: You said god created man even though he knew man will do evil, he created man to do evil and suffer
|
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:16pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:Clearly point out the contradiction then.. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:17pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: Before your god created man, he knew man will do evil (imperfect) yet still went to create man knowing that man is not perfect. You told me the tales.
|
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:17pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:What I said and your conclusion above are not same in any way or form. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:18pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: It is the same. He created imperfect beings not minding anyhow they are to obey perfect laws
|
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:19pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:I am afraid it isn't the same at all. |
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Maynman: 3:20pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: But you don’t need to be afraid. Didn’t he create man after knowing man will disobey him? Or it was after he created man that he realized man can disobey him? Is he all knowing? Why is he now acting surprise that man is disobeying him?
|
Re: Why Is Religion So Bent On Suffering And Persecution by Kobojunkie: 3:27pm On Apr 18, 2022 |
Maynman:First issue is ....I never said God created man imperfectly....you did that by your leap. Kobojunkie:So again your contradictions here are born of your very own leap in judgment. This since you seem to like perfection to choosing right over wrong all of the time. God created the character called Satan for the purpose of evil and Satan, in all of scripture, is said to handle the task he was programmed for by God perfectly well. However, if we are to follow the flow of your judgements so far, we have to conclude that Satan was imperfectly created this because he does evil.... an idea that contradicts scripture. Anyways, you are free to believe as you choose in these things.. |
