If Christianity is true, why is there so much evil in the world?

[USFREEDOM911]

So why can't this god recreate the Garden of Eden, but this time don't give us a way to bring sin into the world?

It possible because he wanted people to think for themselves, instead of being sheep.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

So why can't this god recreate the Garden of Eden, but this time don't give us a way to bring sin into the world?

he will.......the Bible calls it the new earth.......you won't be invited because sin won't be brought in.......

 

[StoneByStone]

and after there was.......in the Garden of Eden....so it wasn't sinless was it......

Well that was the end of the Garden. The tree was the door to sin, which Adam and Eve opened, resulting in sin existing.

 

[StoneByStone]

he will.......the Bible calls it the new earth.......you won't be invited because sin won't be brought in.......

Why not just do it now to end suffering?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Well our lives are scripted now, and I still enjoy things.
I'm going to be held accountable even though there is no free will, so it's a moot point.

Maybe you feel your life is "scripted"; but not everyone is of the same mind and FREE WILL allows an individual, even you, to make better choices.

If there was no FREE WILL, then there wouldn't be any choices.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

if there is no free will how do you explain your denial of free will.......you should be prevented from that......

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Why not just do it now to end suffering?

Maybe because God wanted something better then sheep.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

if there is no free will how do you explain your denial of free will.......you should be prevented from that......

Maybe because StoneByStone's life is "scripted" and they had no choice.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I have no problem if he chooses to end your suffering......

 

[USFREEDOM911]

I have no problem if he chooses to end your suffering......

But StoneByStone evidently refuses to recognize that the suffering being discussed in an earthly suffering and completely ignoring the suffering after death.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Well that was the end of the Garden. The tree was the door to sin, which Adam and Eve opened, resulting in sin existing.

sin was always going to exist, starting with the first time someone made a bad choice......God's intent was to identify those who freely chose to believe in him and to identify those like you who have freely chosen to be dickheads.....

 

[StoneByStone]

But StoneByStone evidently refuses to recognize that the suffering being discussed in an earthly suffering and completely ignoring the suffering after death.

The question of this thread is why this alleged god doesn't end suffering here on Earth. So far, you haven't been able to answer that question.

It's funny how angry Theists get when you challenge their beliefs. It's almost like you know your beliefs are wrong.

 

[StoneByStone]

How? The simple answer is that I was conditioned to know there is no free will.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

angry?.......I was rather enjoying making you look stupid........

 

[PostmodernProphet]

How? The simple answer is that I was conditioned to know there is no free will.

since both of us believe opposite things, doesn't at least one of us have the ability to make a choice?........

 

[PostmodernProphet]

So far, you haven't been able to answer that question.

why do you choose to ignore the answer?......

 

[StoneByStone]

since both of us believe opposite things, doesn't at least one of us have the ability to make a choice?........

No, we were conditioned to believe different things based on our life experiences and biology.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

No, we were conditioned to believe different things based on our life experiences and biology.

perhaps you ARE incapable of breaking your conditioning.......I'm not......I was raised by demmycrats.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

No, we were conditioned to believe different things based on our life experiences and biology.

so you believe God conditioned you to deny his existence?.......
