Tiktaalik

Emeth: if god can do anything, why didn't he save the Philippines? Either he is incapable and pathetic, or else he is wicked and culpable and doesn't give a shit.

@Tiktaalik if you really want answers on such questions why not search for them? One of the most important questions is why does God allow suffering? so find your answer at www.jw.org or take a free bible study

"@Madgiant i would not call it magic but to think that an almighty God is prevented to do things just because some laws of nature is naive. The bible is full of examples to show his not bound to those laws." - emeth

Really, I have no idea how to reply to this without been disrespectful. Respectfully, the bible is also full with a lot of nonsense. Just to mention a few:

Why are there clouds in the sky?
Nahum 1:3

Why are some people blind, deaf, dumb or handicapped in some other way?
Exodus 4:11, Luke 1:20

What causes thunder and lightning?
Job 37:2-3

Why do we sometimes see rainbows?
Genesis 9:13-15

What causes tornadoes to form?
Jeremiah 30:23, Isaiah 40:24

Why are some women unable to have children?
Genesis 20:3, 18. Samuel 1:2, 5

What causes earthquakes?
Isaiah 13:13, Psalms 18:7

Why are some men afflicted with hemorrhoids?
Deuteronomy 28:27, 1 Samuel 5:6

Energy is the key here. Everything in the universe moves and vibrates, everything is vibrating at one speed or another. Everything is taking energy or giving energy away.

And if there is a god, he, she, it have to play by the same rules.

fulltimestudent

How can a sane god make rules, then refuse to play by them????

God, some people will believe anything.

emeth

@fulltimestudent he made the rules of our universe but that in no way means he is submitted to them as well. And yes i believe in the God of the bible. I dont mind if you and others dont. I just wait on the moment my science fiction will become reality

Sorry Sir/Ma'am, with all due respect, and I really mean it. I am not responsible for your ignorance... You are. If you want to believe in a god, by all means. But if you think that this deity is capable of doing whatever he/she/it wants, well I think that you have to start reading a book or two. And put the awake and watchtower magazine down for a while. We are no playing "my daddy is stronger that your daddy". Those are facts.

Respectfully,

Ismael

Ismael i dont need awakes and watchtowers to believe that God is almighty and capable of doing all he wants. I just rely on the bible for that. And i have no problem with people that prefer to believe that stories about God,.. angels the Devil and demons are fairytales. I regret it but if someone likes to believe that ,.. so be it. Live and let live.

What great advice! If only the people on this forum had thought to look for answers to such questions within the JW religion.

Ok, that's my sign.

Take care my friend,

prologos

God has even to obey (some) of his moral laws:

he had to have his own son killed and the life value brought up to him in heaven to be able to forgive original and later sins.

but then he can kill at will and will again in the GT, A.

SO THE STORIES GOES.

its all made up stories.

entanglement is another kettle of fish.
