The God I witness for is Jehovah. He is referred to in the masculine gender.

Actually quite the opposite sir.Then you might be in major trouble, heading towards Hell ... if "He" = the god of the Bible
Ya see... If God didn't exist, neither would we.
If your God exists, the God you believe in, I think we are all screwed.
Much more screwed than having to go through four years of the Trump presidency.
What if Jesus really was in that spaceship, hiding behind the Hale-Bop Comet, awaiting our suicide, so he could take us with him to the promised land?
That's the thing about the "what if's"; there's really no end to the possibilities that can be asserted. So where is the discernment? Where do we stop speculating, and find another course of reasoning that's closer to probability?
What do you think?
All very good questions maam, you wonder why God allows suffering. When Adam and Eve chose to be their own god, God allowed them to do so. I think He handled it very wisely, as you yourself recognize that they and their progeny have done a very poor job. He however will let us go to the point of extinction and then step in Mat 24:22, so there will be no doubt that we need Him as our God.
Can you think of a better way to have handled the situation that He chose?
I agree with Rival.
The OP is asking the implications of the assumption that God exists. Some people believe that God is only Love. Some people believe that God is more than Love.
If a person believes that God is only Love then their reaction to the assumption that this God exists will be different than a person who believes that God is more than Love.
For example, if a person believes that God is only Love, and they assume this God exists, then this person may believe that the feeling of Love is the divine ordained purpose of life. The person seeks love and exherts their love on others. This would be a different reaction than someone who believes God is more than Love and assumes that this God exists. The reaction in this case would be more balanced and seeking the feeling of emotional love would be less likely to be the dominant motivation in their lives.
It would mean that there is a Creator.
And that there are "wheat", growing with the "tares".
Antimatter particles share the same mass as their matter counterparts, but qualities such as electric charge are opposite. The positively charged positron, for example, is the antiparticle to the negatively charged electron.
Matter and antimatter particles are always produced as a pair and, if they come in contact, annihilate one another, leaving behind pure energy. During the first fractions of a second of the Big Bang, the hot and dense universe was buzzing with particle-antiparticle pairs popping in and out of existence. If matter and antimatter are created and destroyed together, it seems the universe should contain nothing but leftover energy.
Some unknown entity intervening in this process in the early universe could have caused these "oscillating" particles to decay as matter more often than they decayed as antimatter.The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem | CERN
How would the Atheist deal with his annihilation?
Because if God does exist, He is quoted as saying that "the soul that sinneth, it shall surely die.
The real question isn't does God exist, it's that do we have to do what He tells us to?
The answer appears to be no.
"Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
For this, you will get several types of answers to watch for.
1. Spaghetti monster, tea cup, or something similar.
2. Zeus, Superman, Thor. Which one?
3. But! What if he doesn't.
These people are not here to have any decent discussion. They will use the same rhetoric everyday, and they intend to mock theism and get some pleasure out of it.
Cheers.
Well, a stopped clock is right twice a day.But! What if He does?
What if Azathoth exists? Huh?!
and if He doesn't.......
the presence of Man is then a complete mystery.....with no resolve
and no purpose
with extinction pending
While we're stating true things:
Truth: In order to be considered proper use of the English language, the last word of this thread's title should be "doesn't"
There now, the truth is out. Where does this get us? In your case, your statement of truth is obvious. In my case, my statement hopefully taught you something. It appears that I have one-upped you.
God exist yes
Truth: either God exists or He don't.
What difference does it make, and who cares?
I think he was asking YOU what you think. (Asking each of us.)
I've never been able to find out what real thing (thing not entirely conceptual / imaginary) the word "God" is intended to denote.
So what if WHAT, exactly, exists?
In your opinion
Better way, yes, not have invented unnecessary suffering, not have invented childhood leukaemia, not have invented anopheles mosquitoes, not have invented the marmot (that one wants thinking about). I could go on but i don't want to break forum rules
Is that a no-brainer?Well there isn't anything to discuss. If God does exist, and the biblical God from what I am assuming the OP is referring to, then obviously things would play out the same as how the bible says it would. No brainer. Therefore it isn't a constructive question.
So you see no reason apart from God and (what you consider to be) his commandments to care about other people?Simple, eat, drink, and be merry, as that is all you got
