God is a liar?

[Sunstone]

Satan has never done anything but steal, kill, and destroy he never has offered help to anyone

Satan has the best candy.

 

[Viker]

Satan has never done anything but steal, kill, and destroy he never has offered help to anyone

A man's got to do what a man's got to do to get by. Besides, we never get to hear his side of the story much. We mostly hear from his opponents and they're not always a trustworthy lot.

1. Indulgence in what? Cocaine?
3. See 4.
4. People can be won over by kindness. How can you determine who is going to be grateful?
5. See 4.
6. Ability for greater responsibility is built by adding responsibility.
7. This justifies murder and cannibalism.
8. Kill, lie, steal, etc.
9. Guess that's a lie. Must be reiterating 8.

1) Indulgence in anything I guess. Considering the opposite is abstinence I guess sex is one
4) If people are going to be *********** then why should they be given kindness? especially when they don't know anything about you
6) Some people are more responsible than others.
7) And stops self-centredness
8) indeed
9) Without Satan the church has less to preach. He's the being they use to scare people into obedience

 

[9Westy9]

There is no good without evil. he is the same coin just with different heads.

wrong. If you eradicated all evil in the world there would still be good

 

[9Westy9]

Which deity are we talking about in this thread? The Abrahamic god? If so, then yes.

:yes:

 

[9Westy9]

he rescued us from blind obedience and gave us knowledge. He then let us grow and watched us become even more knowledgeable.

It is pretty good. It was one of the main things that attracted me away from Christianity

 

[terryboy]

The answer is No according to Orthodox Christians and Yes according to Gnostic Christians

the concept of good has no meaning with out evil to compare it to. people wouldnt be good they would just be... what we call good may still exist but if evil was erradicated good with eventualy lose its meaning

never said otherwise

 

[Iti oj]

well then were at an agreeable impasse.

 

[connermt]

Now that I have your attention

How can we know that God isn't deceiving us and that actually Satan is the one we should be following?

I've thought the same thing. The answer is we wouldn't know in this life.

I hope you are wrong, It would be a little late to find out in the next.

 

[Iti oj]

maybe god is true and good, but our source of knowledge about him are lies from the devil... hmm?

 

[riley2112]

what is good and what is evil? I mean does God like good because it is good or is it good because God likes it?

 

[Iti oj]

Deep man

 

[riley2112]

Deep man

I think I read it on a fortune cookie somewhere.irate:

 

[9Westy9]

what is good and what is evil? I mean does God like good because it is good or is it good because God likes it?

Is it just another form of the Euthyphro dilemma?

 

[9Westy9]

I've thought the same thing. The answer is we wouldn't know in this life.

Indeed. Then again it's hard to know anything for certain.
