God being omnipresent and is able to change anything, is a contradiction to free will.
If free will was given to us by God, then to me the Deist version of God can be the only God that can exist at all.
If God was all powerful all knowing etc. then why does he allow Satan to carry out deeds upon the Earh, is God and Satan the same person, two sides of the same coin, ying and yang.
Otherwise there is no other excuse why he does not interfere.
On another subject i would like to ask why do most Christians not accept Evolution?, do they feel this is a threat to God? How could God's creation be of any threat to him? it does not make sense.
1. I will not question God's Ability, however God does not see the future. I am not stating that God "cannot" see the future, I am simply stating that He "does not". I have conversed with Him on this topic and I always get the same response. "God does not see the future".(Of course this means that we actually do have His Greatest Gift, and that is Freedom)
2. It is true that there is only One God.
3. No. satan(I do not capitalize that term regardless of correct grammar.) was an Angel named Iblis. Iblis rebelled against God when God told the Angels to bow to His Creation of man. The best source of exactly what transpired is in the Qur'an. Copy and paste from the book:
What is satan?
The best information about satan comes to us from the Quran. In the Quran it is explained that satan exists as an angel named Iblis. God tells the angels to bow to His creation of man, and Iblis refuses. The knowledge of exactly what had happened is mentioned a few times in the Quran, the best example for this book is in
Surah 38:71-85
Behold, your Lord said to the angels: I am about to create man from clay:
When I have fashioned him in due proportion and breathed into him of My Spirit you fall down in obeisance to him.
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:
Not so Iblis: he was haughty, and became of those who reject Faith.
Allah said: O Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with My hands? Are you haughty? Or are you one of the high and mighty ones?
Iblis said: I am better then he: You created me from fire, and him You created from clay.
Allah said: Then you get out from here: for you are rejected, accursed.
And My curse shall be on you till the Day of Judgment.
Iblis said: O my Lord! Give me respite till the Day the dead are raised.
Allah said: Respite then is granted to you
Till the Day of the Time Appointed.
Iblis said: Then, by Your power, I will put them all in the wrong
Except Your Servants amongst them, sincere and purified by Your grace.
Allah said: Then it is just and fitting and I say what is just and fitting
That I will certainly fill Hell with you and those that follow you, - every one.
*Iblis became satan, because he rebelled against God. Notice that the power that satan uses against man, "temptation", caused Iblis to rebel in the first place. Coincidence? I think not. Again, as in the Bible, you will notice that God "breathed into him of His Spirit", yet further showing that your Soul is a literal Part of God. You have now seen that this is stated in ALL Three of God's Words, yet you will still find ignorance on this topic in mankind.*
4. This is a question you must ask Christians, as I am not a Christian, nor am I religious. I can tell you that earth has been here for millions of years. Evolution is a part of reality. Here is a copy and paste from the book:
Some scientists and other people feel that mankind had evolved from water.(From the source of a single celled entity that split and evolved over time.) This IS true of early existence, and includes early man in the animal(Before acquiring a soul) form.(Genesis 1:20 is before the Creation of Adam.)
Genesis 1:20
Then God said Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens.
*God created physical life from water.*
The Quran states this a few times,
Surah 21:30
Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit of creation, before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
*God created physical life from water.*
Surah 24:45
And Allah has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills; for verily Allah has power over all things.
*God created physical life from water.*
Surah 25:54
It is He Who created man from water: then He has established relationships of lineage and marriage: for your Lord has power over all things.
*God created the physical body of man from water.*
It confuses me why people feel that the theory of evolution in some way disproves the Existence of God. From what I can see it strengthens the reality of God, as this was written about 1500 years ago and Darwin figured out the theory of evolution only 150 years ago! Did Darwin cheat, and read the Qur'an?(You might be surprised!)
5. The created cannot threaten the Creator, this is just ignorance that you will have to excuse, as many of mankind are ignorant.
