This is about following logic, not my personal opinion. I don't understand why you keep misunderstanding this.
It's not about what I think God should do, but rather about what the basic rules of logic dictate. Unless, of course, you claim that God's morality allows Him to defy logic, case in...
Why did the works of God have to be manifest in that man (or any other disabled people)? Whatever the reason might be, if God is omnipotent, then that same reason could be achieved in a way that did not involve suffering.
Some apologists give examples like this: you can't have healing if...
No, I would not have to find the reason. Whatever the reason might be, no matter how glorious it may be, if God is omnipotent, then He could achieve that same reason without the suffering, and if He was omnibenevolent, it would be logically impossible for Him to choose the path with the suffering.
The definition of omnipotence means that He can achieve any goals in any way. That is what being all-powerful means. The definition of all-good means seeking the optimum state for all creation at all time. The two are mutually exclusive in a world in which evil exists.
If God bases His actions...
How could it mess it up? Does the fact that God is also present everywhere invalidate the fact that He could achieve the same goals with or without suffering?
@Lamb, could you edit the poll and the title and add the fourth attribute?
Does God have to abide by logic and reason, or does His divine nature give Him the right to disregard logic and reason as far as His behavior goes?
If you watch this video, you might (will?) understand why God allowing suffering to happen is irrational regardless of whether the goal He wants...
The Abrahamic God is described as having three major attributes: omnipotence, omniscience and omnibenevolence. The problem of evil / the existence of suffering in the world makes the coexistence of these three attributes logically impossible. Which of the three do you think is more likely to not...
Have you ever been to an Eastern or Western Orthodox Church? What about a Coptic one? Tell us a bit about your experience there. If you haven't, would you like to visit one? Do you have any plans to do so in the near future? Why or why not?
There's a new social media app launched by Meta (the company behind Facebook). It's called Threads and it tries to rival Elon Musk's X. It's a microblogging platform. After having been restricted in the EU for a while, it was finally launched in my country last week and I joined it. I came...
Is your YouTube feed full of Christian content? How often do you watch Christian YouTubers? I mean YouTubers who make videos about Christianity (whether it's apologetics, preaching, vlogs etc.), not YouTubers who are Christians but make unrelated content.
I'm pretty sure that the majority of humans agree that forcing people to do something against their will and torturing them if they refuse to comply is unjust. If they don't agree in theory, they will once they are subjected to such a system.
The thing is that making some choices every single...
And I think that's a problem because it is unjust, so God can't call Himself just if He doesn't solve this issue.
Only if you believe in "sola fide" (faith alone), which the majority of Christians (Catholics and Orthodox) do not. Sure, you can find verses in the Bible that seem to indicate that...
Why? What's the logic behind that? If you have no sin, you see the world as it truly is, namely flawed, corrupted, you see that no one acts badly from their own desires, but from corrupted desires, experiences and influences. We, the sinful, catch glimpses of these issues sometimes and are able...
Which, if you think about it, makes zero sense, as a pure heart would not want to cause harm to anyone at all. If God had a pure heart, hell would not have been created. All beings who wanted to cause harm to other beings would just cease to exist.
