Yes people are and were wicked but God told the truth about them.
And yes God did punish some of them.
Devil knows Christ from his creation by God.
Bible is historical
Please put up some contradictions.
Well said, Sargonski.
According to the Christian theological and apologetic websites I read online, the Bible was authored over a period of 1,500 years by forty men, from three continents, and in three languages: Hebrew, everyday Greek (called "Koine"), and Aramaic (an ancient language...
I get your point from the beggining , but you don't understand what you are presenting is vague.
First , let's talk about dust.
Genesis 3:19
"By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground,since from it you were taken;for dust you are and to dust you will...
An omniscient God does not change His mind as humans do for trivial reasons, trying something different, making a mistake, or other such reasons. God may change His response depending upon human choices and actions, but those always remain consistent with His unchanging Character of holiness...
The Bible also states that God doesn't change his mind, such as Numbers 23:19, which states, "God is not a man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said it, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?" And Malachi 3:6 also says, "I...
There are scriptures in the Bible that claim God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), omnipotent (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7–10; Isaiah 40:12; Colossians 1:17). The Bible also implies that God regretted creating mankind (Genesis...
If I thought all the groups calling themselves Christian were following Christ, I'd feel free to join. But I don't. There are many things to say about the scriptures you posted but suffice it to speak of my first comment.
Appreciate your opinion.
Actually, having so many translation is a bonus. Not to mention that all of these books, written over dozens of centuries, creates a miracle in and of itself in that they speak with the same thread of subject even when one person didn't know what the other person had...
@Trailblazer,
Given how inadequately the authors of the Bible depicted their personal beliefs about the afterlife, it's not surprising that Christians have differing views on what happens to people after they die. According to the Christian theological and apologetic websites I read online, the...
I have a question ...
How did you determine that God is the good one in the Bible and satan is the evil one?
How did you determine that "God is extremely good, fair, and merciful" .... ? 'Cause I'm not seeing it.
Please show a scripture that says don't beat neighbors.
I don't know what they were. But, I believe God's punishments are for evil and unrighteous people. But, in the case of animals, in Biblical point of view they can be killed even if they are not guilty for something (lambs and doves were...
Well, I believe God does make mistakes, assuming he even exists. According to Genesis 6:6-7, God regretted creating not only mankind but also every animal, every creature that creeps on the ground, and the birds of the air. These verses suggest that God recognized his mistake in creating mankind...
@Trailblazer,

No we just offer the true meaning of Isa 45:7 and many refuse to accept it. IOWs Isa 45:7 is not an unequivocal statement that God creates evil, as varying translations show.
God remains the same and does not change His mind when nothing happens to cause Him to come to a different...
Yes. This is comething you have mentioned before, and I've been researching it. The pattern is, God changes its mind concerning curses, but doesn't change its mind for blessings.
Numbers 23:19? Balak is asking Bilaam to reverse a blessing.
Malachi 3:6? The prophet is encouraging the...
I think it's highly unlikely that you'll ever find a devout Christian who will openly admit that their "loving and merciful" God creates evil, despite Isaiah 45:7 unequivocally stating so. On the contrary, you're more likely to see some very impressive mental gymnastics used to try to explain...
Perhaps if we check the original word usage 'evil', it will help.
EVIL
That which results in pain, sorrow, or distress. In order to convey the correct thought in English, the very comprehensive Hebrew word raʽ is variously translated as “bad,” “gloomy,” “ugly,” “evil,” “calamitous,”...
