  • God knows everything. Now how can Jesus be God if there is something he does not know?

    Only God the Father knows when the second coming of Jesus will be. Jesus said so Himself.

    How can the God entity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) have different knowledge sets? God know this, Jesus that but they are one?

  • Why did God require His son to be crucified if He could let everybody eat from the Tree of Life?

    In the Garden of Eden there were two trees named expressly.

    The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and

    The Tree of Life.

    To give everybody eternal life God decided that His son should die for our sin.

    My question is, God had an atonement method in the Old Testament and the Tree of Life. Using both would He not accomplish the same result?

  • Personal relationship with God, ...?

    100 000 Possibly dead in Burma. What reason of killing so many people did God give you (as Christian).

    My point here is, every Christian claims to have a personal relationship with God and that God speaks to you through the Holy Spirit.

    My question then becames if the above is true, what reasons did God give you for the Death of 100 000 people in Burma?

    In both Testaments, it is recorded that God spoke to different individuals, and modern day Christians claim this connection. Now pleas give us reasons.

    Atheist, you can rely of Science to explain the conditions.

  • On Cain and Abel, some light please...?

    God accepted Abel's sacrifice with full knowledge that rejecting Cain's will end with Abel's death.

    There are no reasons offered why God did not accept Cains sacrifice (at this point Cain was not a killer).

    The above means, God condemns others to death by driving others to kill them (in this instance He drove Cain to kill his brother by not accepting his sacrifice for no reason, knowing that he would kill Abel).

    Where is the Devil in all this? All I see are the actions of God and reactions of Cain. I ask where is the Devil?

  • I don't get it,...?

    The Devil wanted to be like God and was punished.

    The serpent said to the woman "you shall be like God" and she was punished.

    The Christians endeavour to be like Christ who is the Son of God, and in fact, who is God.

    And they get rewarded how come?

  • Christians, why do you say death came through Adam's sin if he was not immortal by creation?

    Garden of Eden had two trees that were named expressly.

    1. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

    2. And the Tree of Life

    The Bible speaks about God sending an Angel to protect the Tree of Life "least Adam ate it and became like God" and live forever!

  • When should we give God credit?

    A church donates clothing to the poor and says God made them do it.

    An unbeliever donates clothing to the poor because he is compassionate.

    Shouldn't we credit Him for the things He did directly (like striking an evil man with lightning)?

  • God hardens Pharoah's heart and then kills his first born, why?

    The story of the plagues in Egypt keeps referring to God hardening Pharoah's heart. If thus read, God makes it impossible for Pharoah to let the children of Israel go and punishes him for it.

    Was God merely showing His strenghth here or am I reading this story wrong?

  • A word or two on the confindence of the resurrected Chirst.?

    Only the body of Jesus died in the Cross and ONLY the body of Jesus was resurrected.

    1. Bible says our soules are dead in sin.

    My question is, how can the resurrected BODY of Christ resurrect the death soul of the believer.

    If Christ died in spirit and God the Father resurrected that spirit then the Believer's faith would not be misplaced.

    How can then, the believers say they trust in the power of the resurrected Christ that they too will be resurrected, if their death is in spirit and Christ's dead was in body only?

  • If Jesus is God, then how did he lay down his life for us?

    If the answer is yes please answer then the following:

    1. Can God have a finite life?

    2. Can God be killed? if so...

    3. How can He be an eternal God if He can be Killed.

    4. When Jesus was killed for our sins, does that mean for three days there WAS no God. Remember, Me and the Father are One (this should imply that the Father was also dead, unless the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirity are not the same entity).

  • What is special about Jesus' resurrection?

    If we accept that he brought Lazarus back from the dead, why is it implausable to suggest that He might have done the same to Himself. (No God or Father intervention, just Jesus doing his thing).

    My question is exactly: Why did Jesus need the Father's intervention to come back from the DEAD if He could have done it without the Father?

  • God created the Devil. Was this part of plan?

    Why are we then sent to hell for something that is not of our doing. Did Jesus die for our sins or was he killed by the Devil as a continuation of the Heavenly war?

  • At what stage did Jesus accept (and die for) our sins?

    Jesus was the perfect Lamb of God right? To be worthy of the enternal sacrifice he must have been sinless. At what stage then did he take our sins to Himself (for this would make Him imperfect as sacrifice).

    1. Before He die - this would make Him an imperfect sacrifice.

    2. or after He died - you can't sacrifice a dead lamb to God or can you?

    3. To my Christian brother and sisters, in the atonement of the Old Testament there were two animals, a lamb for sacrifice and a goat to bear the sins. Who was the goat in the death of Christ is my Question???

  • Why is the devil quoting out of the scriptures to prove his point?

    The second temptation of Jesus involves the Devil Quoting out of the scriptures to support his argument and yet he is wrong.

    This practice is also evident when one asks questions about belief we tend to quote scriptures to support our arguments. How do we know when we quote that we are not on the Devil's side of the argument?

    Remembering that the Devil was quoting to the Author of the Word, how can one then discern if the person quoting the word is on God's side? Should we believe him/her because the say they are believers?

  • Let us have a word or two about free will.?

    The reason we sin is that we have a free will to choose good or evil. When something is wrong we blame the Devil, what exactly is this guys job? Is he greasing the wheals so that we slide into sin.

    If there will be no sinning in Heaven does that mean there will be no free will?

    The Devil is from Heaven, we on earth did not make him, he leaved in Heaven, he rebelled there.

    So before any answers consider this for a moment, If free will is not removed from the guys going to Heaven does this mean we run the risk of having another devil?

  • Why is communication from God and/or Allah onesided.?

    When Joshua and the Israelites occupied ("invaded") Canaan and its surrounding lands, Did God tell the people of Canaan that the Israelites were coming.

    When the Muslims occupied Jerusalem did Allah tell the other guys who were already there that these new people were right and they were wrong?

    In both instances the "right" guys brought swords with them (and of course they convinced the others that way) and won through Allah or God's help.

    So why is Allah or God not simply telling the "wrong" people (through their own prophet) that they should give way for the new crowd (who are "right")?
