You sure about that? I feel like there should really be more to be said about this, as it is the biggest stumbling block for single Christian males.

... and by not telling said something to us within our suffering, while knowing that our knowledge of said something would make life easier for us, He is therefore not omnibenevolent.

I'm not assuming that no purpose exists. I'm merely stating that within the framework of omnibenevolence, omniscience and omnipotence, the same purpose could have been achieved in ways that did not involve any suffering. A general idea in Christianity is that the purpose is for humans to learn...

How do I know what? And He could have done so after Adam and Eve disobeyed. Or He could have eliminated them from existence without any suffering before they could have offspring. You mean a being who is literally called the father of lies and who had been around for a lot longer than Adam and...

Now imagine a world in which parents had the power to endow ice-cream and candy with the nutrients of vegetables with a snap of their fingers. See how your example fails? Any analogy you could present from the real world fails because said state of affairs from the real world was created by an...

Happy Pascha! ✝️

God could have done everything about it from the very beginning. He could have simply imprisoned satan as soon as the latter first sinned. Just make a place somewhere where he can exist all by himself, before he had time to corrupt other angels. Teleport him there. Make sure it's impossible for...

Well, it should be. After all, it demands us to deny ourselves and put our lives in the service of God. It is only reasonable to want to know as much as possible about a Being Who demands so much from us.

“Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!” (James 5:9) “Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse...

Don't worry. Apparently, no one who replied so far seems to have addressed my point. Allow me to explain it in simple words: Humans make AI bots. AI bots not conscious like humans (at least from what we know so far). But AI bots imitate human speech and thought pattern good enough that they...

The development of AI seems to highlight the absurdity of these Biblical verses. Artificial Intelligence bots are humanity's first creation that could resemble a being. They are not sentient (at least to our current knowledge), yet people still consider that subjecting them to suffering or...

The term omnibenevolence means unlimited or infinite benevolence, or perfect goodness. It is often used to describe one of the attributes of God in the Christian faith, along with omnipotence (all-powerful) and omniscience (all-knowing). However, many people have challenged the idea that God is...

Interesting how the egg has replaced the cross as Easter's symbol. Why do we have eggs as forum icons instead of crosses?

https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-society/3679095-mavka-the-forest-song-collects-almost-uah-25m-in-domestic-box-office-for-opening-weekend.html From what I read online, the Ukrainian studio who made this movie has been working on it for several years. I just find it strange that they decided...

Who came up with this idea?
