    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    I can see where you are coming from, and I can tell you that your conclusion is not correct. pre·des·tine [pri-des-tin] verb (used with object), pre·des·tined, pre·des·tin·ing. to destine in advance; foreordain; predetermine: He seemed predestined for the ministry. des·tine [des-tin]...

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    Okay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And what is your verdict, and if applicable, how have you arrived at it pray tell, if any...

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    Then the question follows - If God (omniscient and omnipotent) were to be determined as having existed from the beginning of time till the present, then would the responsibility of the aforementioned social ills be imputed to him? And if so, why?

    Forgiveness?

    Biblically speaking, you are incorrect. Hebrews 9:22: And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:23: It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly...

    Mathew takes Isaiah Chapter 7 way out of context

    You are incorrect. Matthew 1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his nameJESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:22: Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Matthew 1:23: Behold, a virgin...

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    If God does not exist, then who or what would be the cause(s) of all social ills?

    jesus and prophecies .. strange! .. but true

    Jesus speaking openly in this sense means that he spoke publicly. It has nothing to do with speaking in parables. Again, that is a weak argument. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of no concern to myself...

    Reincarnation - Scripture or imagination?

    Except when it comes to differentiating between the actual temple buildings, and a wall outside of its premisses? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you say so...

    The Christian idea about Two natures?

    That argument is quite inane. The fact that John wrote it is not much of a revelation. Who was John writing about then if it wasn't Jesus? Bob Dylan? If you can't bother to show who and offer a more cogent argument as to why, then why bother replying?

    Who make Jesus a God?

    You are incorrect. To put my original verse into context, the answer as to who the speaker is can be found in the following verses. Revelation of John 1:8: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation...

    jesus and prophecies .. strange! .. but true

    Just before I answer that, the bible says a couple of things: Mark 4:11: And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: Mark 4:12: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and...

    Reincarnation - Scripture or imagination?

    The bible says it well indeed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've not graduated to the level of mindreader in order for me to describe John's thought process, and I have little inclination to accept your word on the matter either...

    jesus and prophecies .. strange! .. but true

    That has to be one of the most inanely constructed arguments yet. HOW is the above an example of an incitation to hatred, as opposed to a mere disqualification??! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My question would still not change...

    jesus and prophecies .. strange! .. but true

    Incite <verb> - To encourage, urge, or persuade to act in a violent or unlawful way. Kindly explain to me how, when, and where Jesus incited anyone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I, by reason of Jesus, have peace of mind. What do...

    Reincarnation - Scripture or imagination?

    I'm glad you asked: John 18:33: Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? John 18:34: Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? John 18:35: Pilate answered, Am I a Jew...

    jesus and prophecies .. strange! .. but true

    You aren't making much sense at all. The reason this discussion was started between us was because I pointed out that Jesus was in fact a prince of peace. I pointed out in essence that the meaning of this title had to do with the fact that he gives others his peace of mind in their hearts. I...

    Reincarnation - Scripture or imagination?

    Given some of your previous misstatements concerning scripture, I would be hesitant to accept this statement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scripturally, you aren't in good standing there, but I'm suddenly not in the mood to go back &...

    The Christian idea about Two natures?

    Well that's a shame then, in addition to my 1569, I guess I need to toss my Louis Segond (I don't use French too much nowadays anyway), my Latin Vulgate bible, and I suppose my Hebrew New Testament translation can go out the window as well. Bummer...

    The Christian idea about Two natures?

    I'm glad you said that. Now follow along carefully: Revelation of John 1:8: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation of John 1:9: I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation...
