//Please just give me ONE question to answer//
//. https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Society-and-Culture/Religion-and-Spirituality/Question1628248-6.html//


Why would I want to 'befriend' a God that admits that it creates evil?
Isaiah 45:7...
//I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things//

[Theland]

Yes Corbyloon, why?

[THECORBYLOON]

You're the believer in God and the prophecies, what are your thoughts?

[1ozzy]

Corbyloon, that was a little mistake made by God during creation.

"you give me one good reason why I, comfortable in my belief and trust in Jesus Christ, should invest my valuable time looking up information"

Because you asked us to.

"Please just give me ONE question to answer.
Start a new thread for it, please?"

nailit asked you one question on a new thread, he's still waiting for your answer.

[Peter Pedant]

o god I dont believe this

//Conditions of war and chaos are themselves preparatory for his arrival on the world scene.//

has any heathen here ( actually Nailit might ) recognised the refs to the End of Times ? I dont know why Theland is being so coy about the complete and utter twaddle he is peddling. it is from The Apocalypse of st John the Divine - last book of the NT - or is that the epistle of Clement? I really cant be arrissed to look

and the muslims do it as well
In Islam, the Day of Judgement is preceded by the appearance of the al-Masih al-Dajjal, and followed by the descending of Isa (Jesus).

Jesus is a prophet in Islam by the way

why dont we read the apocalypse nowadays and wonder what it says for us two thousand years later ?- well try it and see.....Jesus save us.

//Nailit, you don't believe in God//
Yes that's true.
//and it seems to me you don't want there to be a God//
That isn't true...

//You give me one good reason why I, comfortable in my belief and trust in Jesus Christ, should invest my valuable time looking up information for your entertainment//
Because you are the one making the statements, not me. Therefore its on you to back them up. And its not for my entertainment but for my eternal soul...if you believe that?
//when all you want to do, and it is entirely apparent, is attack and belittle me//
Not in the least Theland, pleases stop playing the martyre, Ive merely asked you to provide Bible verses to back up your claims.
//Well carry on.
Enjoy your rather silly game//
Its NOT a game, I asked you to clarify your beliefs with chapter and verse rather than someone elses theology.
How is that a game?

[naomi24]

Theland, you kick this nonsense off. If anyone is playing games it's you.

[Theland]

Nailit- The Jews were exiled from their land as a punishment by God for their rebellion and disobedience towards Him.
But hey Nailit, this is basic, you already know all of this, er, don't you?

[Theland]

Really Naomi? Really? Is that a new giant wooden spoon you have there?

[naomi24]

God didn't kick them out, Theland - others did that - and by the same token God didn't return them to the land. Others did that too.

[naomi24]

Theland, I don't possess a wooden spoon but I do know that you like a laugh.... and you're having one.

[Jackdaw33]

All we need now is the number of the Beast (it's 666 BTW).

[naomi24]

A mistranslation (allegedly) Jackdaw. Possibly 616.

[Theland]

"Others did it," really?
And is God not capable of using the agency of His creation to carry out His will?
Did you expect God to turn up in His tin hat with rifle and bayonet and drive out His chosen people from the land of Israel?

[nailit]

Do you know something Theland? As much as I like you (and I do), your refusal to even give a basic bible verse says it all to me (let alone the fact that by your own admission you havnt even read the bible). You have a set of beliefs, and no matter what, you will hold on to what you have been told rather than think for yourself. You tube holds all the answers for you rather than your own intellect and reason. Im truly sorry for you. And before you say it, yes, my life is a mess at times but so is yours. I try to get through it rationally though.

[naomi24]

//"Others did it," really? //

Yes. Really.

[Theland]

Under whose inspiration Naomi?

[nailit]

//But hey Nailit, this is basic, you already know all of this, er, don't you? //
Err, yes actually I do, better than you it seems...still waiting for them bible verses from you. You can you-tube them if you want :-)

[Peter Pedant]

have we had any sensible discussion over the problem of evil ?
I think not

[naomi24]

Theland, you'll no doubt be capable of sourcing historical information on YouTube.
