1. Meaning that God is careless?
2. Meaning that God is not ominiscient?

God had morals. He is just, impartial, loving, kind and merciful. As such any exercising of his power to foreknow the future would never conflict with his morals.

Why create perfect angels and expect obedience from them when you already know one of them will go rogue and corrupt other angels? Why create Adam and Eve and tell them what do be obedient and avoid the tree of the knowledge of good and bad when he already knew they will disobey? Why give the Israelite laws to live by when he knew they will ultimately reject it...even go to the extent as killing his own son? Is everything happening on earth merely a rerun of what God has already seen?

Just because God chooses not to do something does not mean he can't do it.

If the Creator of mankind had indeed exercised his power to foreknow all that history has seen since man’s creation, then the full weight of all the wickedness thereafter resulting was deliberately set in motion by God when he spoke the words: “Let us make man.”

So in other words, God chose not to know what satan would do in the future when he created satan. Does it mean he simply chose not to look into satan's future?

Interesting

Sometimes I often ponder on the issue of God existence, but deep and truly to my soul I can't find an answer.

It is Ok to feel how you feel. But there are answers. Please at your spare time go thru the following article along with your Bible to find proof of God's existence.

As the pandemic rages on, people wonder where God is and if he is comfortable watching us go thru this difficulties. The short answer is NO. He will soon act. Please find proof here that God is not cruel and not the cause of our suffering. He will put an end to it.

Before i ask some teething questions here that have existed in my head for sometime now,i want you all to know that i am a born again child of God....i did my BCC,LCC,and LDC respectively.




For God so loved the world that He sent his only son to die for us ( paraphrase).

If God loved us as enshrined in john 3:16,why allow terrible things to keep happening to his love ones?


Bokoharam killed thousands and displaced many Christians in the North East,arm robbers are killing on daily basis.
Bandits are on the rampage,rapists are rapping and killing innocent women,eg Uwa and co.....



Isis invaded iraq in a broad daylight and massacre thousand and almost wipes out Yazidi Christian minorities in that country,....

Rituals kill and butcher human like animals in the name of quick money...




God,where are you?

Or are we deceiving our selves that you exist?



Can a father stand and watch his children maltreated without action?



China produces virus that almost wipes half of the world population.....where is our protectors.?

Good morning Bro. I understand how you feel. Intense suffering can make us wonder where God is at times. Even faithful men like Elijah, Job and Habbakuk all wondered the same. God made sure it was all recorded in the Bible so we too can be able to identify with their feelings.

The Bible shows clearly that God does not cause suffering. Not only that, it hurts him to see us suffer and soon he will act to save us. Please read the following verses. Proverbs 6:16,17 to see that God hates to see innocent blood shed. James 1:13 to see that God does not cause suffering. Psalms 37:9-11 to see that God will remove wicked people. And Revelation 21:3,4 to see his plans for his righteous servants.

I will like to talk with you more in private via WhatsApp? Is that OK by you?

ghettokid1:
But God is ominiscient?

Yes God is omniscient. He knows it all. However, if you had the best singing voice in the world, would you sing 24/7 just because you can? You will still decide when to sing and what to sing. God has impeccable self control. So he can decide not to know the outcome of a particular event. If he knew that the angel he made would become Satan and that he will deceive the first human couple and subject mankind to thousands of years of unspeakable suffering AND HE STILL WENT AHEAD TO MAKE THAT ANGEL, then that would be most unloving and wicked.

But the Bible tells us different. God is love.

ghettokid1:
Did God create satan on purpose?

According to the Bible, God did not create Satan. Instead he created the person that BECAME Satan. The same way a woman does not give birth to a thief but the child later grows to become one.

Deuteronomy 32:3-5 tells us "Perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he.”

This shows that Satan was perfect in the beginning just like other angels. At John 8:44 Jesus says Satan did not "stand fast in the truth" or "abode not in the truth" according to King James version. This means at one point Satan was in the truth. But that later changed? Why?

God did not create the angels and humans like robots. He gave us free will. By choosing to do something which was the opposite of God's will, that formerly perfect angel made himself Satan which means Resister.

Please read Genesis 3:1-5 and Revelation 12:9.

Rozz:
When it comes to religious matters we have to use our heads sometimes.Trinity, in Christian doctrine is the unity of the father ,son and holy spirit as three persons in one Godhead. The doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be one of central christian affirmations about God. It is rooted in the fact that God came to meet christians in a threefold figure as (1) There creator,Lord,Father and judge as revealed in the old testament (2)as the lord who incarnated in figure of Jesus Christ who lived among human beings (3)As the holy spirit whom they experienced as the helper or intercessor in the power of new life.But neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament.Did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Hebrew scriptures(Deutronomy 6:4).I have started asking my pastors some questions regarding that,but he only warned me to be very careful of JW. lol

Good afternoon Madam.

The Beroeans were a people who after being preached to by the Apostle Paul still made out time to research and prove to themselves that what they were told was the truth. God wants us to convince ourselves of the truth and not just follow our parents or pastors without fact checking.

That being said I will like to direct your attention to a publication by Jehovah's Witnesses dedicated to the Trinity Doctrine. I encourage you to read it along with your own Bible. Allow the facts to speak for themselves. Instead of being afraid of the Witnesses, be afraid of those who would not let you question what you've been taught since you were a child.

Here is the link to the publication:

Good day brethren, i will love you to recommend a study bible, close to Revised Standard Version, New Revised Standard Version, and NIV. And please include where to get it in lagos.

The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition). Available in soft copy on JW.org

Still wondering why God has not end this pandemic ravaging the whole world.
It's three months plus now.
Nairalanders your opinion pls,

When you realize that first, God is not the ruler if this wicked world, then it will be easier to understand why he has not intervened. 1John 5:19 says: "We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." That wicked one cannot be God. It is Satan.

He is the major reason why there is so much suffering in the world today.

However, will God continue to watch as humans suffer? The answer is a capital NO! He will use his Son Jesus to end all human suffering and undo its effect. Kindly read 2Peter 3:9,10 and 1John 3:8.

But how did it suffering in the form of sickness and death even start? How and when will God act? If you don't mind Sir, I'll like to show you what the Bible says about that at a time convenient for you. On WhatsApp perhaps.

Sergioaguero:
Try to compare this chapter and verse from common jehova withness bible, you wont find this verse like this

1 John 5:7-8

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Good afternoon Sir.

This is how the American Standard Version puts it

7 And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.

So it not only the New World Translation that doesn't seem to match this. Would you like to discuss privately about this? I'll be pleased Sir. Thanks.

The stock ROM on the Leeco le 2 is eUI which is based on Android 6.0.
That aside (software updates) , is there any other reason why you think I shouldn't go for the Leeco.
