God decided on His own choice to create human beings with free-will (Romans 11:33) This free-will makes us His creatures to relate with HIM and all other of His creatures based upon our choice as well as reap the rewards of each choice. Using our free-will to receive His eternal life through belief in the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ Crucified in order to manifest HIS perfect-will on earth and spend eternity in His Heavenly Kingdom with HIM is *much easier* than using our free-will to disbelief the Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified because of the provision of *HIS GRACE SUFFICIENTLY FOR EACH HUMAN BEING FROM CONCEPTION TILL BIOLOGICAL DEATH* this is why Jesus declared both for *Believers and unbelievers*.... "...there is no excuse for sin, there is no excuse to spend eternity in hell-fire because (GOD has come to us in the human nature to uplift us through his death and resurrection unto HIS DIVINE NATURE)" (John 15:22) Anybody who refuses to believe in Jesus Christ Crucified has *condemned himself/herself* hence it is not God who condemns any human being to hell-fire again (John 3:18) May the Holy Spirit enlighten the eyes of our mind to understand the call He has bestowed upon us through our belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Amen. |

Dtruthspeaker: As usual nonsensical excuses. Your god just watches a person get raped and murdered right in a church and says he'll deal with it later. That's absolute nonsense for a so called omnipotent, omnibenevolent god. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

HQuadreal: ------------ Yes indeed, God knows all things (Psalm 147:5). "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it." - Psalm 139:6 But we have these truths, mercifully received by the Lord GOD: “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created” -Revelation 4:11 "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He." - Deuteronomy 32:4 Let us also remember that GOD, at great expense to Himself, sacrificed Himself for those /us who did not deserve mercy, salvation, life... reconciliation / peace to & with him... "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 1 Like |

Bro Jiggaz. Oya. To you the spiritual elders. This one off me. Make I no lie. Though I believe God knows and allow somethings to happen for a purpose. Either for His name to be glorified or for Him to demonstrate His powers that the world may know that He's the only one and true God. |

TheRealProphet: That's the devil trying to drag you away from a life of peace and eternal hope. I'm not saying it will be all rosy but even in the world it is not all Rosy but its better to be in Christ cos there is always hope. The bible says Christ in me, the hope of glory. Apostle Paul hoped against hope at some point and help came. Look.... In the world, you shall find tribulations but be of good cheer for Christ has overcome the world. Once you have this at the back of your mind, you'll never give up. And I tell you, God will show up. Be of good cheer always. Ask the Holy spirit to help you mutter a few words of prayer and from there progress then put on the garment of praise. God will show up. Shalom. 1 Like 1 Share |

Daejoyoung:So? God's foreknowledge does stand in the way of creationhood Daejoyoung:Just because God knows the end from the beginning doest mean God is the player of the events in the that will unfold. Just because Gods know doesnt mean He predetermined anything. The player is the person that does the activities, it isn't God Daejoyoung:The purpose of freewill, just as like every other gift, is for be judicious, rightful and correctly use. Daejoyoung:The testee doesn't test the Tester. Daejoyoung:The testee doesnt know the result, so means anything done is for the benefit information and sake of the testee. Daejoyoung:You are called out to do either. Not Islam. Not Christianity |

[quote author=MuttleyLaff post=90167262] So? God's foreknowledge does stand in the way of creationhoodIf God knows that I would be what I would be, then why does he get angry when I do evil? God already knew Adam would sin, and man would fall, so why does he act surprised in the bible when they do these things? for instance, God regretted at some point that he had made man. How could this be, if you say God was already expecting it to be so? God even said in the old testament, that it never crossed his mind that the people of judah would burn their children as sacrifices to moloch( Jer 32v35). Why is God acting surprised in all these? The testee doesnt know the result, so means anything done is for the benefit information and sake of the testee.Everything cannot be for the benefit of the testee, the tester also have a purpose for testing the testee, in Islam for instance allah created man to test him, and is same in some versions of christianity, if this is the case then allah or God wants to find out something from this test, isn't that so? The big question here is this, if God can already see what would happen or what we would decide, then nothing can change that, it would mean that all that happens have been fixed already, and this is why God has access to that knowledge, right?? |

Re: Question My 11years Daughter Asked Me by Dantedasz(m): 6:30pm On May 31, 2020 |
Eulalia: I am asking you a direct question. If god is omnipotent,omniscient and omnibenevolent and he is a loving creator god according to you Christian's. And he gave all his creations freewill according to Christian's. The question follows,that why will such a god allow the university of Benin student who just got admission to study microbiology and decided to go and read in a CHURCH of her own FREEWILL and this god allows some ruffians to take this girl out of her space,rape her,assault her and finally break her head to pieces??!! How is such a being benevolent? How is such a being omniscient and omnipotent?? Is it the girl's FREEWILL that took her into a church to get raped? And this god stands aside and watched?? |

cjfbn: Question: Why is John running? Ans: John had visited his uncle two years ago. I am still wondering how the answer answers the question... Question from a little 11years old got u talking off point. Question: since God is all knowing, he knows the biginining from the end, why did he create us knowing we will make wrong decisions and suffer? ANS: God CREATED everyone with free will God does not interfare. Oga if u don't understand the question us ask the little girl to rephrase. I can actually help: If God knows we will make wrong choices with our free will why create us to make wrong choices with our free will. |

Dantedasz: If I try to explain certain things to you, you might not get or even refuse to accept because your mind is already set to dispute and disagree to anything that pertains to God. And that will be a total waste of my time. First clear the bitterness you have towards God. Only then will any explanations make sense to you. Shalom. |

Trueigbo: It's just like saying why did God create lucifer when He knows he will become satan. God created us with a freewill. It's true He knows all things but He allows us operate on our free will. God did not create Adam and eve to disobey Him, they choose to out of their free will. God respects our free will, but there will be consequences. |
Re: Question My 11years Daughter Asked Me by jiggaz(m): 7:45pm On May 31, 2020 |
Eulalia:Good evening dear... God created us to enjoy life in the garden of Eden, not this present fallen world. Since Adam and Eve's fall in the garden, this world became cursed... We will see the perfect world in the Millenial Kingdom which is the coming age. It is not God's wish for the world to be like this, it is Adam and Eve that brought this upon the world. But a perfect world is coming for those who put their faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ. God created us with free will, He doesn't want Robots to worship Him... Meanwhile it is easier to be saved in Christ Jesus than to be lost... The only criteria to make heaven is Faith in the finished work of Christ Jesus Heaven is a gift not a reward. There will be reward for Believers at the Bema Seat of Christ because there will be positions in the coming Kingdom of Heaven. But everybody in heaven will have Eternal Life not by merit or good works but by believing in Christ Jesus as their Saviour from Sin. 1 Like |
