I think it's pretty much normal to ask questions about God but sometimes we ask questions that are only asked for the pleasure of asking it. What would i do if an angel or God came down and told me to do something wrong?
That's crazy, God would never ask anyone to sin against him. Unless of course your seeing you know who and looks can be decieving!
How was God made, let's start with the little things first like the dog you call a friend. How was he made?
noone has that kind of knowledge. But we were given a source that tells us why and how everything came to be. When we die all things will be made known to us for we will be perfect" hoping we all go to heaven" none will question we will know. What we do know is that God took the dirt from the earth a blew life into it. Come on humans figure that out lol!
We are questioning a surpreme being a spirit who can be in a solid formation, a spirit who can do all things and knows all things. God knew that i was going to post this thread, and he's counted every strand of hair on my head.
God made you so he knows everything about you.
I think what we really need is wisdom from God so we no longer desire to ask questions we will never fully understand on our own.
If you have a pressing concern have a little talk with jesus, tell him all about your problems. He'll hear your faintest cry and answer by and by.
We all have a friend in Jesus acknowledge him and he will hear you.
Don't rely upon us humans to know the answers to things that we couldn't possibly implicate or produce a theory for.
God has given us all strengths, brains and courage, but we are not perfect.
Remember God will answer you if he chooses, and if he doesn't there's a reason for it. In my experiences in life, I've asked for so many things, some he gave to me and some not. I couldn't understand why God didn't answer me.
I realized later that he had answered me he said no.

This isn't an opinion this is the facts, granted they are put in my words but they are still true. This world is full of opinions- people trying to find something solid to put their faith in, a promising faith. We are all different and we are free to express how we feel. It only turns bad when we are judged, only God is worthy of this.

Wisdom is not answer here.

Basically what you're saying is you'd rather be stupid which is the oposite of wisdom. This is by far a bad choice to take in life period!
Wisdom has alot to do with faith if you don't have either than one needs help.

Maria

Right. And, also people need to test themselves by readin' the bible/prayin' daily ( everyday ), attend church, the one who believes in salvation, fellowship with Christian friends, study bible on every Wednesday at church or at someone's house, and so forth. It has to be serious relationship with God -- no playin' games. I mean, a real intimate relationship with God and, then people will be able to recognize things that are changin' through the Holy Spirit. This will bring God's Wisdom. Their eyes will open to see clear meanin' they will understand better. They are the ones who are wise to chose Jesus as their personal Saviour after experiencin' God. They will agree with others who experienced the same as them sooo easy... without strugglin' due to difference of beliefs.

Anybody who never reads the bible/pray daily, attend church and all.. then, they will deny everythin' or disagree everythin' with Christians. Why is it soo hard for them not to try Jesus and see for themselves if, Jesus is for real ?

Just simple : Confess your sins to God and ASK Jesus to come in your heart. Have you noticed there's no door knob when Jesus knocks ? It's because, it's up to people to open the door from the inside to let Him to come in.

For those who argues or questions without acceptin' Jesus who is the Truth, they have no wise in them. They just show their brains how smart ( intelligent ) they are or by usin' worldly science's informations to challenge such as evolution. They sweat their hard work in their pants for nada. I think it is silly. But, for Christians who know what's easy for them, they will just simply follow Christ by faith without sweatin' their hard work in their pants. Jesus will give them rest and light their burdens.

Yiffzer

A bit biased there. They sweat their hard work in their pants for nada? First off, what's "in their pants" for? And secondly, "...for nada?" We all search for the truth. We want a religion of truth. Just merely believing (faith) without understanding (reason) is a failure of truth.

Maria

LOL Speakin' of " in their pants "... that's my language I use to chat with my friends IRL. Sorry about that.

Why it is necessary to search for the truth ? Jesus is the Truth and He is already there. Who else is the truth, if not for Jesus ? Is there someone else who died on the cross for all mankind ? There's no 2 truths. There's ONE and ONLY truth.

You could say that there's another truth and that's LIE. By who ? That prince of darkness... BUT, that prince of darkness NEEEVER died on the cross for all mankind. The prince of darkness hateeeees God and His Creation by destroyin' such as spiritual war.

There's only ONE truth and ONE lie.

Yiffzer

Again, you give me no reason to see it as truth. You've only given me blind faith. How do you expect to go on missionary work if you do not convince people with reason? All you've told me is "Jesus is the Truth!" and I can say the same about "This bird is the Truth!" and use the rest of your incoherent ramblings. Show me the truth by reason. You can not have truth without reason. If you claim there is only one truth, does that mean all diehard Jews will go to hell?

Maria

Give you blind faith ? Nah. Incoherent ramblin' ? No way !! Gee, for pete's sake. I will SHOW you the truth by reason. I expect YOU to read the scriptures with your own bible as you've stated that you used NIV and KJV. So, please read them. Ok ?

Ok, here it goes :

Truth
That which is reliable and can be trusted; actual fact over against appearance, pretense, or assertion. ( Zech. 8:16; Mark 5:32-33 ); correct knowledge or doctrine ( 1 Tim. 4:3; 2 Tim. 2:18 ). The essential idea of truth in the Bible is faithfulness or reliability. God is the standard. God's truth ( faithfulness or reliability ) is basic for all other truth (Deut. 7:9-10 ). He maintains covenant and steadfast love. He is reliable ( Deut. 32:4; 2 Chron. 15:3; Isa. 65:16; Jer. 10:10 ). God " keepth truth for ever " ( Psa. 146:6 ). The Word of God and His Law are true because of God's nature as truth ( faithfulness ) in what He did in creation, election, redemption, and the givin' of the law ( Neh. 9:13-14; compare 1 Sam. 12:24; Rom. 3:1-7 ).

Truth and sincerity are opposed to malice and evil ( 1 Cor. 5:8 ). Truth is to be obeyed ( Rom. 2:8; Gal. 5:7 ). The truth of God is revealed not so much in the law as in Christ ( Rom. 15:8-9; compare Rom. 1:1-6; 16:25-26; 2 Cor. 4:6; Gal. 2:5, 14 ). One hears and believes the truth and is in Christ (Eph. 1:13 ).

Christ is the truth ( John 1:17-18; 18:37 ). Since Christ shares in the truth of God, He is full of grace and truth. He is " the way, the truth, and the life " ( John 14:6 ). The activity of the Holy Spirit is associated with the activiity of Jesus in so far as truth is concerned ( John 15:26-27 ).

Disciples must appropriate the truth ( John 17:17-19 ). Followers of Christ are of " the truth " ( John 18:37 ). This knowledge of truth is not simply " head knowledge. " It is a matter of recievin' Christ ( John 1:11-13 ). This acceptance of Jesus and receivin' of the truth is accompanied by " walkin' in the truth " or in the light ( 2 John 4; 3 John 3-4; 1 John 1:7), doin' the truth ( John 3:21; 1 John 1:6 ).

Yiffzer

In many of your verses, you quote Truth for God's Laws and His way. I never denied that. I can do the exact same out of the Qur'an. But you have not shown me the truth of the Bible. Show me that the Bible itself is reliable after centuries and centuries of translations and changes. Do you understand what reliable means? Show me that the Bible itself is true. Show me that it hasn't been modified by man. You have an impossible task ahead of you and I'd be impressed if you'd ever accomplish that.

It is easy to convince an uninformed man, but it is not easy to convince an informed man.

Maria

The Bible itself is God-Speakin'. Everythin' in the Bible talked about Jesus. Everythin' in the Bible is pointin' AT JESUS. Jesus is God and He already answered to your questions and everythin' YOU need to know -- all of his answers are in the bible.

Your eyes need some gels to be able to SEE God's Words. I guess, you don't have that gels in your eyes...meanin' that you don't have God's Light in you, because of YOUR disagreement, your doubt, and your rejection against Christ.

God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit agree all the same as in ONE. They don't disagree with each other. Reba, me and a few christians who believe that Jesus is God -- we don't disagree with each other and even, thou WE never met each other in person. It's the Holy Spirit we can discern with each other that we believe the same who Jesus really is.

And, of course ... I don't agree with things you believe in. I believe in my Jesus who is MY God.

Yiffzer

Apparently you can't prove the Bible is true. It is easy to write a book about anything then say it is true. I can tell you to just read the book! It's all in there! Does it make it any more or less true? Obviously not. Use your brain, please.

Right now, you're practicing what is known as "idolatry".

Maria

Huh ? Is that an insult ?

FYI, there's NO idolatry I'm practicin'. You can argue with Jesus/God and tell Him that He's NOT the truth. You can tell Him that the Bible is all fiction. And, when you do, you can join Satan for his party.

Have a wonderful weekend !!

Yiffzer

Then pray to God alone and pay respect to Jesus.

I'd tell God that I believe Him but certainly do not hold Jesus at the same level as He is. I never said Bible is all fiction. I don't care to join Satan.

You too!

Askjo

Reason? Why are you interested in reason more than Faith?

SxyPorkie

ohhhhh... little troubles is brewing between yiffy and cyberred

Correction: Faith and reason at an equal level.

Because God has commanded everyone to practice faith with reason.

Askjo

The difference between FAITH and REASON is that a scholar wrote:

“Reason is the mental faculty by which we know the facts, the temporal truths which God establishes through His works of creation and providence. Faith is the spiritual faculty by which, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we lay hold on God Himself, the Supreme Truth, as He reveals Himself in and through the facts."

Faith come from heart, reason not.

Your heart can cause you anguish. Your mind controls your anguish. You need both and you really can't deny that. Besides, God already said to use both. Why argue?

christlovedeaf

Doesn't matter how you do or look in the outside. God sees the hearts. But even tho, does say, practice godliness. Not mean, you have to suffocate to make it right or else. That is not what God says, He says Let it go and let Me enable you and strengthen you thru trials, tribulations, temptations and etc. I love the book by Max Lucado, " When God Applaud." When you are in a race, and you stumbled, God keeps clapping and say, go, go, go, you can do it, run toward the goal, don't give up. When someone makes mistakes and killed the person, is the one prevent God for what He wants that person to be.
