If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to
Then He is not omnipotent.

If He is able, but not willing
Then He is malevolent.

If He is both able and willing
Then whence cometh evil?

If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?

What good would it benefit a blind man if you are trying to show him a visual?

What good would it do to give medicine to a person whose already dead?

What good is it to feed a man who refuses to eat?

I think god allows evil now...

But back in the Day... if you read the Bible...
it shows his prophets. would do some Magick and call down fire to fall from heaven.. and burn up their enemies...

Some of gods servants.. cast curses such and blindness and sickness on thy enemies... !
I think that is why I like god now... All the curses he allowed his followers to cast was very nice..

Also back in the day God would protect his people with supernatural powers.. and let them use magick.. Moses was on of the most powerful magickcans of our time.. look at all the curses he cast on Egypt...

Let's put it like this is God's people still has those super natural powers.. to heal.. and kill off enemies at will.. there would be no probs..

I think once God took super natural powers from his people.. that is when things went bad.. No more curses and killing thy enemy... .and no more healing powers...

I think right now.. God is letting evil and good exist.. as a test..


I think god allowing evil is like a test to see how strong you are.. etc.

But super natural shit exists.. i've seen some demonic and magick at work.. it's not a joke... If evil energy exists.. I know gods power is there too.. He just is not using it directly right now....

But I think whenever he does use it here on earth.. it will probably destroy most of the people on earth...

Just my thoughts.. but yeah Im crazy

its faith, we no longer wield such power, because our faith has diminished, with faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. god works through people, and those people must show faith in order to be tools of god

Your ways are not God's ways. Your mind can barely understand why life is the way it is. So the questions you ask are about as relevant as George Bush and his role as a president.

can you elaborate on this for me please?

Faith the size of a Mustard seed? I have met some people with some very strong faith in my life. How do we measure size in faith? Especially with a mustard seed as a measuring rod?

I am really trying to understand you here, not trash talk.

its called free will, if god takes away the ability to do bad then at the same time he would take away the ability to do good.you cant do bad if there is no good and vice versa.i think that was the only reason they wrote in the bible about the tree of knowledge.i guess they were trying to explain free choice.

...and our sense of distress is likened to a man who, while sleeping, dreams he sees that his head has been cut off and is mounted on a wall. Once the same man awakens, he realizes the absurdity of seeing one's own head detached from one's body.

So, what's the next riddle?
