I started with the beginning of the beginning, Genesis. Lots of questions came to mind. Let’s start with this

under the assumption that God is all powerful, and can transcend in time, did he know Eve would eat the forbidden fruit? why go through the process if he already knew she would eat it, and then punish us humans?

Also just before the Noah part, God mentions regretting creating humans. God had feelings? And again, why create humans in the first place if he knew they would conduct themselves in an evil way?

convert me


He's all powerful, all knowing, and all seeing. He knew the results of his creation, start to finish, prior to creating it. However, he had to give freedom of choice, no matter how stupid those choices were.

So, to answer the underlying questions:
1. Yes, he knew Eve would eat the fruit, and coerce Adam into eating the fruit.
2. Yes, he knew humanity would devolve into sin, and he'd have to flood the world.
3. Yes, he knew WWI, WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, and even the Trump Presidency would happen.
4. Yes, he knew you'd make your heathenistic post, and fully intends on smiting you for it.
5. Pineapple DOES belong on pizza.

I hope this clears things up.

Everything that happens is part of God's plan.
Abortions happen.
Therefore abortion is a part of God's plan.

Let's go down that road, if you knew God could do something so powerful as destroy those 2 cities then why would you want to go against him? Would you dare openly badmouth the cops or crime gangs?

This is the same God who judged Egypt with the 10 plagues.

Me going against him is part of his plan.

God's plan is good

Therefore, me going against him is good.

If that's what you plan to tell the LORD God almighty the day you die then good luck with that.

So wait, the creation of those two cities was possible because he made it so. He knew they'd be created and how they'd turn out. He knew before he even started the process that he'd be destroying those two cities. So it seems to me that badmouthing him would have been a daily hobby, were I a resident of one of those cities.

Nothing like imminent destruction by "a merciful god" to love and respect to that god? Nope, quite the opposite.

I plan on asking Him what the deal is with auto-immune diseases.

>Creates immune-system.
>Immune system attacks the body.

The fuck?
