In my experience, it seems that some Atheists love when a natural disaster strikes in some part of the world. Because that gives them an opportunity to play their old, “God is evil for allowing this” card. As if that this their big “trump card” against God or something. In fact, on various forums and [...]
Is God Hidden or Revealed? What Good is a Hidden God?
April 24, 2009 by
Discussing religious views, contemplating the unknown, and trying to make sense of God & life are all things I tend to be very passionate about. In an inter-blog conversation, I have discussed a few views with a fellow blogger, Eruesso, and thought I would post some thoughts of this discussion. First, I just want to touch [...]
I Wonder What Jesus Was Like? What Would He Do Today?
April 3, 2009 by
If I could travel back in time to any point in history, it would probably have to be when Jesus Christ walked the Earth (my second would be when Adam was first created). Can you imagine what it would be like to actually talk to Jesus while he was on Earth? Wow! Don’t get me wrong, [...]
Why Did God Allow Job to Suffer? To Prove a Point to Satan?
October 9, 2008 by
The book of Job is a very interesting book in the bible. Here, we have this seemingly upright and “good” person that follows God’s commands named Job. He is wealthy, happy, religious, and has a great family. All seems to be going so well for Job, that is, until his life comes crashing down! We [...]
How Can Good and Evil Really Exist, If Everything is Social or Genetic?
September 22, 2008 by
People often question the existence of good and evil. I recently read a question where someone was asking about the existence of good and evil. They said, “What about a person that was brainwashed to murder since they were a kid?” Here was my reply: That is true that many traits we possess are either [...]
Aren’t People Getting Meaner Today? Isn’t The World Turning Bad?
September 21, 2008 by
I agree with this 100%. I have thought about the decaying of our world quite often. We are advancing so fast in things like technology, etc., but at the same time, our moral compass has deteriorated badly. I sometimes get “down” about life and the way people behave. Many people are very cold, rude, selfish, and more. [...]
If Hell is a Real Place, Does that Make God Evil or Unjust?
September 14, 2008 by
I think this is a great question. Here is my opinion on it: The fact that God does eventually punishes evil, actually shows His true justice (not that He is unjust). Would it be just for our government to let criminals go around raping people, without ever throwing them in jail? No, that is why it [...]
Why Did God Create Evil? Why Does He Allow Suffering to Exist?
September 4, 2008 by
Great question! I don’t really think God did create evil. Of course evil exists, but I don’t think God created it necessarily. Let me explain: Did the creator of the alphabet, also create curse words (evil)? No, but the way it was designed, an individual could use it and do good (to spell appropriate words), [...]
Is Evolution a Sin? Is Evolution in the Bible?
September 4, 2008 by
Evolution is never explicitly stated in the Bible. Of course, in Genesis God clearly states that He created everything within the 6 day time-frame. Some liberal christians suggest that 6 days to God could be much longer to us. Maybe so, but I hold to the belief that God created it in 6 days, and if I am [...]
If God is a Perfect God, Why Did He Create Evil?
August 26, 2008 by
Sometimes people ask, “If God is such a perfect God, then why did He create Evil? Why does the Devil Exist, and why does Hell exist? These are all great questions, and I am sure almost everyone has thought about it at some point. So what is the answer? Did God create evil? God didn’t [...]
Why Did God Put A Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil In Garden of Eden
August 4, 2008 by
A good question people often ask is why did God place the tree of knowledge of good & evil in the Garden of Eden in the first place? In the Bible, we are told that in the garden, God placed a tree called the tree of knowledge of good and evil (or also sometimes called [...]
