The Role of God (Earth, paradise, contradiction, creation, eternal)

But if Evil Satan had people tricked into his religion, on which the Bible, the christian ethics, and the whole sha-bang, then he wouldn't want the so called "Devil's" opinion to be known, because they would be hiding the truth (agreed.)

The standard that I am using is the one that most religions describe which isn’t necessarily evil incarnate but seems to be (for lack of a better term) mischievous or a spreader of confusion and misunderstanding and there are over 33,000 different religions, with no religion willing to budge or move on their inherit beliefs. It is with this segregation, this intolerance, this stubbornness and pride that I would admit that this BEing entitled Satan (if he existed) is doing an efficient job.

I am also familiar with a BEing entitled Satan that is described as a bringer of knowledge and is also responsible for lifting humankind into enlightenment.

OK, good, the fog has been raised, and I couldn't agree with you more.

That doesn't sound like god is being very consistent.

Explain.

When I try to put together what the hell "god" is suppose to be in my head,
It only seems natural that "god" is consistent in everythin he does. It would only sense
(to me, I'm sure) that could only do something in consistent forms. Why address man youself, then stop to create a son to address man, and then stop your son to create a holy spirit to address man?

Because man has a hard time listening and obeying. God finally decided to just write it all in a Book and leave it up to you to decide what to do about it. It's all spelled out for you.

God's plan was layed down before the foundations of the earth were layed down and He follows that plan to the letter. When faced with what seems like an inconsistancy, reexamine your own parameters, you just might discover a new truth.

God makes plans, and God makes corrections to his plans because Man messes up his plans. Man has produced results that God did not anticipate.

God as the Poor Scientist.

Why do you say man has done things God didn't anticipate?
