Sol, you changed your post... I responded to the other one.
tammy, where you getting confused is that people armagedon isnt taking action to fix problems. Its genocide. Its killing anyone who dosent do things gods way.
This is a jw (and perhaps other fundamental/christian) understanding of armageddon. That does not make it accurate. All you have to do is read the account to see that Satan misleads (gog and magog) into riding across the earth TO DESTROY. They aren't just not doing things God's way. They are setting out to destroy those who ARE doing things 'god's way'
What some are suggesting is that if god is all powerfull he should be able to answer, not just silly prayers
about who is right in an internet argument, but really be effective in solving the problems of men, aside from killing those who you think are the problem.
Has nothing to do with who I think is the problem.
He cannot be effective in solving the problems of men if the men are not willing to heed him... and as long as men are going to continue to cause those problems. At least, not without taking away man's freedom... which is one of the worst evils that man has fought against throughout history. People taking their freedom from them.
The people riding against the kingdom and people within it... are the ones seeking to TAKE freedom.
It would appear some will do anything to win an argument...even twisting the meaning of others words...so they are unrecognisable by the person who said them...and then denying the intent to do just that.
Oh, don't i know it, lol.
But again, if i mistook you, please correct me.
You think he should stop all those causing suffering now (regardless of the fact that it is not him causing it, and people simply continue to do so), and condemn him for not doing so.
So... by those words (imo)... you must not have a problem with him stopping those who cause suffering later.
(his methods perhaps... though I would suggest that none of us know those... and that if there was another way, He would know it, not us)
Peace,
tammy
