re: God Has A Plan For Your Life

man preserved the wheel and fire longer than the bible has been around

the bible is not god's only revelation

Where is the proof that God exists in the form you believe other than the bible?

---

explain how god could not exist

quote:

---

So many other religions some much older than Christianity

---

there is no religion on earth that is older than the foundational beliefs of christianity

quote:

---

Why are they wrong?

---

give me an example

quote:

---

he sounds lonely

---

god is not capable of being lonely. why is it so hard for you to understand he just wanted to have a relationship with us?

quote:

---

just let us imagine that he takes no credit for the bad things

---

what bad things does he need to take "credit" for?

quote:

---

If god is all things he is good and evil

---

oh my. god is just god. however he does allow created beings to act in the absence of his nature, the privatio boni. it's their freewill.

quote:

---

My point being that we lack understanding and to say that one person or a group of people have it exactly right and if you dont believe the way this group does you will burn in hell

---

that's exactly how it is and you wouldn't want it any other way. every person operates from the desire to acknowledge foundational truth. even postmodernists and relativists.

quote:

---

if he cared so much where is he? why do we have to wonder if he is there? it sure feels like the creator does not give a crap and creates and disposes of us at will

---

the vast majority of every person who has ever lived has felt that god is with us through good times and bad. almost no one agrees with your last sentence.

quote:

---

according to the man written bible

---

is it wrong?

quote:

---

that feels like stockholm syndrome

---

your conception of god is absolutely bizarre

quote:

---

really shitty rules

---

such as?

quote:

---

enables suffering

---

how is this wrong? i wonder if anyone will ever answer this question

quote:

---

creates only one way out and thats through him

---

you wouldn't want it any other way. that's how truth works

quote:

---

many religions claim the same thing

---

no they don't. every example you give is going to be ignorant. mary jo sharp has done some good work at the popular level on this topic

quote:

---

we dont have all the facts

---

we know what we need to know that's for sure
