Jesus said Belzebub when he said something that he can use higher evil to destroy lesser evil but thats not how we need to act. Nothing wrong using that term. He wanted to say that you dont put fire with fire. But water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any support for your claim that evil doesn't exist in Christianity? Seeing as you believe forgiveness involves punishing everyone, I'm doubtful of your understanding of the Bible.

And Eve from his rib. Adam was created by Gods picture. Is that mean that God look like male or have deep meaning its up to you. Personally I believe that author meant deeper. You know symetry and all math. God did not create adam and eve. You need to read up about the evolution of man. There was life well before humans on Earth, we are infants on this planet. Personally I believe that author was not aware about the origins of mankind. What do you think your god would create now if creating a new Earth, A: adam and eve B: adam and peter C: eve and philippa ? And if your god were to choose Iceland, what fruit would it give them?

And whats evil- its good deficency. There in no evil God or whatever. Its us and God. Do we have goodness in us or not. Like crops. Wheat can flourish or wane. Rose can flourish or wane. But "rose is a rose is a rose" wherever she flourished. Those who wane simply doesnt exists. You will not have red rose which flourish and beside evil black rose which wanes. It rose. Either will produce or wane. I have it in my mind but not able to translate it in words. But ask priests and belivers what is evil? who is devil? Evil is deficency of goodness. Devil is person with that deficency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden... https://www.biblica.com/bible/niv/genesis/3/ Why would god prevent Adam from knowing good and evil, only to give Noah the commandments several thousand years later ? Why not just give them to Adam from the beginning ? That never made sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayer just programs your reticular activation system and subconscious. Its not confirmation bias. In the beginning I had no idea what to expect, how anything works, if at all? So there was a blank slate with prayer, but I have an open mind, I didn't mind failing, and I was very desperate as well. Since then I have asked for guidance many, many times, and only once or twice I never got an answer. The rest of the time it works like a charm. Its really amazing.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” Epicurus, circa 250 BC I want to hear Christians about this quote. If God was a he, he would need a she. If God prevents evil, we would have no free will, and would not be able to learn or to seek and find. The meaning of evolve will vanish in the air, and the only causation would be "survival of the fittest". But since we are related to kindness, we can choose kindness, and since we are related to wisdom, we can learn. Since we are related to truth, we can stay true... I am not religius, but try to be human as good as i can. And yes, i belive in truth, that it is what it is. Becouse it will not bend to fit our belifs... Edited November 27, 2019 by Skirnum .

There was a fall among the sons of God, and their children. That the giants of history like Alexander, Cesar, Hitler and countless others have some kind of ancestry in the giant Gilgamesh I think is obvious. Gilgamesh is also mentioned in the book of Giants, found in the Dead Sea Scrolls and described as a giant, also known as untamed Jotun/Giant powers and Nephillim. That the river of destruction can have its symbolic origin in the violence against nature, and against humans is not inconceivable. But the research goes on.

And sometimes bad thing happens because of evil peeps. And sometimes what seems.as bad thing in fact isnt. How do you know whats good for you? It does say: Im your Lord and there are no Gods than me.

I honestly believe that God would forgive anything, to my mind, how could God be so petty as to hold a grudge, or feel the need to punish someone? But, the question at death is, can you forgive yourself? There is an idea that angels and demons are the same beings, only it is your conscience that decides. In any event, whether God forgives or not is almost irrelevant - our lives right now, and after death depend on our actions and choices in life.

I cant say that I believe the OT tales per se, although as allegories, they may work better? I'm no expert. The way I see things - God gave us life, a home, and free will, and told us to get on with it.....only, do something that divides, something hateful, greedy, spiteful etc, something that retards humanities evolution, then suffer the consequences. Or do something selfless, something kind etc, and see the difference. Im not saying that mankind hasn't done some pretty horrendous things in the name of religion, but that's on mankind, not God 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
