I was making "good > evil" more of an axiomatic belief. But anyway, at what are we supposed to look when deciding whether good is better than evil? At what's in your best self-interest or at whether that particular thing helps other human beings, for example? But to answer your question, yes, I...

Well, I'll try a new approach and see where this goes. If we define God as the greatest conceivable being and accept that good > evil, then God is good for an evil God would be inferior to a good God, and God is the greatest, so that cannot be.

Simple question: why is God a hidden God? There being the possibility of having more evidence of God, why doesn't God manifest Himself fully instead of providing only sufficient evidence (which allows disbelief)? Please, provide as many reasons as you can, or only the ones you think as relevant...

Hello, I'm looking for an explanation as to why is God good. In Christianity God is basically good by definition. There isn't a possible world in which God isn't God. Goodness in essential to God. God's nature doesn't just happen to be "good", it's that goodness is inherent to God. But what I...

The is a typo in the poll. It should be "atheist", not "athiest". I was raised in a Christian home but it can be said that God became a bigger part of my life when I was searching on my own.

I think the point here is that our 'love' of this world should appear as hate in comparison with our love for Christ.

In the Temple there were many rituals. Why so? What's the reason God chose to establish these rituals for the Jews to do? God bless.

I saw this comic today: Mainly it's supposed to be funny, but it brings up an interesting point of which I've never thought before. So, did Eve have the same DNA as Adam since she was made from his rib? I know it's silly, but please take it seriously. God bless you, Emanuel

No. It may be wrong, but it doesn't deserve eternal torment.

Well, as another person pointed out, it will technically be rape, since you are basically forced to have sex. Even though the commandment condemns an action, every action happens in a context and thus they must be judged, if judged at all, in the context in which they happened. Anyway, thank...

I was wondering about some moral dilemmas and what should we Christians do if we are found in one of them. For example: you live in Germany in 1943 and you have Jews hidden in your home. Nazis come at the door and ask you to tell whether you have any. If you tell the truth, they will certainly...

Is it so hard to imagine a God interacting with his creations?

Okay. I heard an atheist say once that Christians behave like atheists when they use science to heal themselves instead of relying on the protection of God. How should I answer to this? To what extent is God protecting us? And another one, from Dr. House (season 1 episode 5 I think) he said...

Are you a troll or something? Sorry, but the Christian position is so very well known on this that I can't believe you actually make this question. In the Christian worldview, Jesus Christ does not have a biological father, only a mother. God made it so that the Messiah would be born without...

I think significant free will could partially be an answer. God doesn't merely want us to have 'free will', but significant free will. That is, if we make important decisions, they should also have big consequences, whether good or bad. In your example an injustice occurs, in that there is a...

I suppose not much. It is obvious that the Christian God dislikes sin and sinners (and these two are intimately connected. What do you understand by 'hate'?

Hm... how should I put this? Yes, in a sense God "hates" atheists. He "hates" sinners. By this it is to be meant that God has an extreme dislike for sinners, for "workers of iniquity" as it said in the Psalms. God is angry with them. Sinners will face the wrath of God. God does not...

Yes. Even though the person may be a 'clone' he isn't identical to the 'blueprint' (the person he's copying). He's going to change into a unique person with unique experiences, and thus he'd have a 'soul'.

Millions of Years of Death and Suffering: Does the Old Earth View Compromise God's Character? I found that article which deals with the issue. Also, there may be reasons for that to happen. For example population control. Wolves may keep rabbits from multiplying too much, sharks could do the...

First, to begin with, this is not even the right section. It should be perhaps in the apologetics section, or maybe a non-Christian section. But of course, this is the moderator's decision. Secondly, you work with a wrong definition of faith, or at least biblical faith. Read an article like...
