@Hiddenthings I'm going to tackle this one question at a time. You said, First question. Where did the sin, opposition, and human power under judgement come from in the context of Genesis 1 and 2.

@GodsGrace I think you will find this informative. Five Good reasons why there is suffering. First reason part 1, the other 4 part 2.

That's exactly how I meant it. Bad things happening to good people is merely a symptom of that. Bad people surviving and influencing society far longer that we believe they ought to be. The expectation that God should act the moment we see evil and inflict vengeance on our behalf or someone...

I read through my post again and discovered a couple of errors giving an impression the opposite to what I intended. Blame Google, or fat fingers, not God.hlo

And Jesus said, an enemy has done this.

Absolutely I stand by my reading of that text. Let us see it in context shall we... “17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you...

Indeed they do. But rattling off a screed of Bible texts for many is simply sensory overload. They just switch off. The symbolic women are also symbolic, but of real women? No. Two churches, one true, faithful, and pure, the other unfaithful through association with government, and apostate...

@GodsGrace There's a further aspect to this. The church was designed to reflect Christ. Agreed? Not only in the NT, but throughout all history. God had His champions, yet at some time or other, they fell short of God's ideal, but never has God veered away from His ultimate purpose. To have a...

@ I'm not here to argue with you. My name is brakelite. When I post it's to make you think. I will defend what I believe from scripture when I feel the need, and if I think it would make a difference. If you choose however to ignore reason and malign personal testimony, then there's nothing...

Okay.

Those issues I addressed are all linked to man's perception of the character of God. That is the issue at stake here. And it began in heaven with a war of words and slander and politicking over whether God was worthy of ruling the government of heaven. Lucifer thought he could do better and...

You will never convince me there is not a supernatural spirit, along with numerous others,at work in this world. Not only are they referenced and addressed in scripture, by Jesus Himself, but throughout history many have experienced him in real life, both in league with him and as resistance...

Charlie Kirk's death is a case in point. Why do evil things happen to good people? Why do evil people get rich? Why do evil people get away with murder? Why is there so much pain, suffering, death in a world that God presumably rules over? Right? These aren't easy to questions to answer, and...

The real personal choice has been the same for 6000 years... Since the fall in Eden. Accept the everlasting gospel, ie the everlasting covenant, and live, and not die. Joshua gave Israel the same choice. “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve...

With the utmost respect, I suggest there is an answer. Theodicy isn't an easy topic to understand, but there are biblical and reasonable answers to people's questions regarding the problem of evil in the world, and why God seems to allow things to continue so long without any seeming justice or...

You are placing conditions on a freely granted redemption. We have no need of qualifications nor do we need to meet certain criteria or conditions in order to receive Christ into our lives and be forgiven. Obedience, sound theology, good works, not one or any of these are essential to receive...

No. It isn't doctrine. They are commandments. What is doctrine is the way we respond to them. Or teach how we ought to respond to them. God says we must obey them. That's doctrine. But there's the rub. How can we obey, knowing our utter weakness and human frailty and the depths of carnality that...

Very wordy self defence which completely ignored the main point of my post. You used one random unconfirmed conversation with a pizza worker. No information regarding his experience or understanding of Bible doctrine, nor any information as to how long he had been a Christian, let alone a...

And that's the thing. William Miller did not set the date. Daniel 8:14 set the date. Miller just happened to find it, and he rang the first. “And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. ” Daniel 8:14 KJV...

You have. Except that not once, other than repeating about date setting, have you explained why the investigative judgement is wrong. Post 200.
