In other words, I believe that God is capable of making the possibility for a thing to exist that is not of his nature.

That would be like building a nuclear weapon with a random timer for an ignition switch.

Make something you can't control.

Doesn't sound like the actions of an omnipotent being to me.

Hey, Damn Invasion!!

You're going to LOVE this string!!!

He is in control of it. We both believe he intended or planned everything that happens.

I only said that beings could act apart from his expressed instruction, I didn't say he wasn't in control.

Right, and if he is in control of it... and he allows bad and evil things to happen... that makes him bad and evil.

If you were driving someone around and they had you stop at a bank and went inside and robbed it then got back in the car and you drove off... they would have been outside of your control but for a bit you are just as guilty.

This is clever. But you and I still have a different definition of evil. When I think of evil, it simply means to me that it is what God expressed as being apart from his instruction, apart from himself, and also not of his actual nature. I believe that this is possible because he can create the "impossible." When "His will be done" on earth, apparently there will not be evil as I define it.

Well, logically... if God uses evil as a tool to manipulate man, then good must also be a tool.

When God gets tired of manipulating man, he will put the tools away and be done with man.

That is what I deduct from the Bible as it is written.

As I have said before, I don't put my faith in a book... I don't believe in the Bible.

I don't believe in Satan, just positive and negative forces.

We... you and I and everyone else, we are all of God... we are all one being so big and powerful that it is able to separate itself and perceive itself as billions of individuals.

That's what love is... the longing to return to the oneness of God, we seek out that belonging, that need to feel complete.

That's what many drugs are... an attempt to fill the void left in our souls from being deprived of that oneness, that completeness.

I've put quite a lot of thought into God... and seen and felt him in action on numerous occasions... nothing I have thought, seen or felt has ever led me to believe that he is the God of the Bible.

I would like to have a private conversation with you. Can we make that happen?

Do you visit any chat rooms? I can suggest one we meet in and I will know when it's you. But I think I will go to sleep now.

Check you tomorrow.

I just made a post today about how no one has engaged me in an intelligent debate in quite a while.

Now I can't say that anymore.

God gave all of his creations a thing called free will, or the right to choose. I believe he wants us all to follow him, but will not force us. But that is only what I believe. It probably doesn't mean as much as Heavy Feds belief, with his vastly superior intellect and all. Lets face it no one is engageing him in intelligent debate, as it would be a waste of time. Why argue with the most intelligent man on the planet. I do have one question: With that superior brain of yours, why don't you run for president and save the rest of us from our ignorance?

All in good time... right now I am focused on getting elected Mayor of my hometown.

You should really check that condescending attitude... it does not suit you at all.

So, do you have something you want to discuss... or is this visit just personal and hateful?

Branching out, huh?

Tired of just slinging the extra hate in your life on Damn Invasion?

At least she has an objective.

[Texan]

As usual you're right again; but what does condescending mean? I don't mean to get personal or be hateful, but then again I'm just not smart enough to discuss things with someone with your superior intellect. And I do not sling hate on D i, merely telling it like it is. Last but not least, with your great wisdom, please explain her objective.

She is standing up for her heritage... and from the way Obama is acting, pandering to the minorities to get re-elected, he is making her look like she has a point.

[Texan]

Oh! And all this time I thought she was just a racist bigot and antisimitic liar, who insulted anything that was different than her. Thank you oh wise one.
