Speaking of questions never answered. How could it be otherwise? Explain from the Provisionist perspective.

God is not the cause of all of man's evil

as scripture shows

James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

1John 2:16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

Jer. 32:35 They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

Is. 30:1 “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the LORD,
“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin;

Gal. 5:7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

1Cor. 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Rom. 11:23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

I'm sorry to say but the scriptures will not be addressed and you will only get another question since he cannot defend his beliefs from the bible- They are nothing but deflecting and avoiding the truth to hang onto the false beliefs.

Good job exposing the erroneous thinking with the problem of evil/sin.

Let God be true and every man found to be a liar.

Amen !!!

[Presby02]

yes thats a perfect description of the reflection you see from the man in the mirror.

thanks for conceding the point

Conceding what point? That you dodge and deflect? Okay, I concede.

So why does your god sit by and let children be raped and murdered?

Try posting scripture relevant to the topic at hand. Start with the ones explaining why God allows children to be raped and murdered. Start there

Excellent grammar. Yikes

 

[Rockson]

Actually it hasn't. You keep telling yourself that though. You might actually come to believe it.

I think we can choose to believe people of unbiased reasonable minds can see that it has. They can see one answer among many in post #61. You may not like the answer but that's another issue.

So our God allows for evil to exist in my opinion for the reason found in #61. Your God you claim actually has a part in making it happen and wanting it to happen and we're talking about the most insidious things one could possibly imagine. Sorry folks but that's a diabolical way of thinking about God which runs contrary to the scriptures.

 

[Hosanna]

Excellent grammar. Yikes

Pretty good humor also.

Humor is subjective

No I'm good with humor. No if's ands or buts about it.

Ya, your hilarious so far. Keep practicing

 

[Cyrus]

No I'm good with humor. No if's ands or buts about it.

According to the Bible, laughter is indeed good medicine. The book of Proverbs 17:22 states, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” This verse emphasizes the importance of having a joyful heart, which can have a positive impact on one’s physical and emotional well-being.

In addition to Proverbs 17:22, other Bible verses also highlight the value of laughter and joy. For example, Psalm 126:2 says, “Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’”

The Bible also teaches that laughter can be a way to bring people together and create a sense of community. In Luke 15:25-32, Jesus tells the parable of the prodigal son, where the father welcomes his son back with open arms and a feast, complete with laughter and celebration.

Overall, the Bible encourages us to cultivate a sense of joy and laughter in our lives, recognizing that it can be a powerful medicine for our souls.
