Well, lets face it, if such a being did exist - it's obviously unable to properly use the powers it has. It certainly doesn't seem to be able to use that supposed 'wisdom and understanding' very well
says the one who has now claimed to be wiser, understand more, and know how to better create and manage a universe than God
and has done diddly-squat over the last 2000 years to protect it's supposed chosen people.
how do you know what He has and hasn't done? God tends to like to remain anonymous. and if He didn't do anything, where have we needed it? we're all alive and well
REMOVING THE SIN OF OTHERS WITHOUT SINNING HIMSELF
destroyed with Jesus on the cross.
gone.
nowhere in sight.(or out of sight)
Apparently ignore sin without killing someone.
He was able to ignore Elijah's and Enoch's sins without killing them. In fact, they never died.
He can;t control our will and can't control a person for we have free will
He can, but He chooses not to because He wants us to have free will
really? last time I checked God was OMNIPOTENT and he can do anything aside from allowing sin into Heaven.
just to rephrase this, because that would mean He is not omnipotent, He can, but does not because that would defeat the purpose of Heaven
Such a being with such power and mercy would have no need for such a requirement and could easily forgive everyone for what ever misdeed this God perceives them of being guilty of.
i don't claim to know why God did this the way He did. maybe it was because this would make a more lasting impression on the people. maybe it was because this gave Him an oppurtunity to let people see His son, fulfill prophecies, start the Christian religion, the possibilities for justification on God's part are endless. The end result is the same, and it is not that He couldnât do something, it is that he found a better way to do it
Why follow someone who hypocritically sins himself, who has the ability to deal with situations without sinning?
since you practically begging for a response here you go.
who are we to decidewhat is and sn't a sin? how do we know? if something that may be viewed as a sin is justidie, is it really a sin? not for us to decide, i think.
Unless the bible that's been changed a-lot of times counts theirs no proof at all.
There is as much proof that there is God as there is "
roof" that there isn't. if you want some, just google it (there may be some loose thinking on the surface, just as there is for anything, so if you want solid answers you may want to spend more than the standard 30 seconds looking)
Last I checked being OMNIPOTENT would allow people with sin to get into heaven.
He could, but it is so much better to do what He does now and cast it on the crossbeforethat person enters Heaven
and for future responses to this, I believe you get to heaven by believing in Him, not by having no sin
claiming it was perfect and had no sin yet bred Satan and his minions, their very epitome of what they regard as evil and sinful.
it was not perfection that bred sin, it was free will that bred sin
