R/S, What do you think about this theory?

God is omnipotent. Therefore, He can create anything and have reasons for it that you can't understand. But let's try a theory. God can create a scenario that He knows the outcome, but not necessarily all the events that get us to said outcome. He has the power to block His knowledge of the beforehand knowing our decisions. This would make a more interesting creation, don't you think? How would you like to know every word and scene of every movie before you saw it. Not much of an experience to be had.

Same reason to not just make perfect beings that obey Him. Just a bunch of robots that do what you program. BBOORRIINNGG!!! It's like playing chess with a computer and you know the programming for the moves it chooses. Waste of time, isn't it? So He creates things that are not predictable. Seems understandable now, doesn't it?

Now He can also increase the difficulty by letting these beings create their own language, thereby needing to inspire those who speak it to write what God wants us to know about Him. Quite a challenge there. Now He doesn't want to send everyone to hell, that is just for those who don't and won't believe in Him. Just as some of the angels were disloyal, He uses this life to weed out the disloyal ones. Why keep the bad element? In a garden you pull the weeds out and let them die to keep the productive plants. It's not like you don't have a choice to believe and have faith in Him. So choose carefully. Have faith and live. No harmful side effects.

    It sounds like a better explanation than, "God knows and controls everything, but also you somehow have free will and your life is not predetermined." If you're going to get into the business of plugging all the holes in theology, you have a lot of work ahead of you. We'll see you at the finish line: atheism.

    The mystery's of faith an GOD are beyond human comprehension

    Faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence.

    I feel bad that if someone does not have faith they would want others to agree with them!

    How can the universe create itself out of nothingness? Given the fact that the universe began to exist, it must have had a “cause” that originated it.Doesn't it make more sense to assume the existence of a Creation. The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that GOD came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, GOD is not in the category of things that are created or caused. GOD is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.

    We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing being is what we call GOD ,GOD is the un-caused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.

    The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, GOD unlike the universe, had no beginning, so he doesn’t need a cause. Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since GOD is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created..@

    Life without GOD is like an un- sharpened pencil it has no point..

    You can't see the wind, but you know it is there because you can see what the wind is doing. You can know that the wind is there because you can feel it.GOD is like the wind, you can't see him

    Ever wonder why a God would care if anyone believed in it or not?

    I know they have been telling you this since you were a small child but have you ever really thought about it?

    I could care less if you believe in me. Do you really care if I believe in you?

    Who in their right mind would care about something like this?

    The only way this would matter is if you were trying to scare someone into believing in a certain religion.

    LOL--or a god just doesn't exist--which makes a bit more philosophical sense than the underwear you've tied yourself up in

    That's not a "theory." It's a bunch of stuff you made up.

    It's not even an hypothesis, because it's not testable, verifiable, or falsifiable.

    I think it's a pile of unsupportable, worthless, made-up nonsense.

    hey, you asked.
