I never told you that you are not allowed to render judgement..... I said again and again that I am only here to inform that we all might be wrong.Sure. Anyone can be wrong. But the apologist should not tell me I'm not allowed to render judgement.

The initial reply that started all of this
"You are entitled to what you think. I am only here to inform you that there could be someone much smarter than us that is doing something we don't understand."
Emphasis added.The physical world is not the end of it, the spiritual world is permanent. What you call slaughter can be viewed as ascension. But only God knows it and God should be the only judge (i.e. do you support abortion?)

No problem. Maybe we can just let the conversation rest here, if you want. I fully understand the frustration everyone has because we live in a world of suffering. I just don't think that if we take the whole of Christian theology, avoiding the chopping off of its legs where we end up looking at on only the moral torso of it, then if we take the whole, then, for me, I'm alright if God with Heal it all at a later time.
Again, it's my opinion that this is meant to be a kind of epistemological rorschach, and each person will have to existentially decide for himself whether he will reconcile with God (in Jesus Christ) over the suffering we (and God Himself) all have to put up with.
Peace.
If you want a real soul and not a computer, you have to allow that soul the ability to sin. If there is no sin, there is no good either. So when Adam and Eve first appeared, God just told them not to eat from the tree of knowledge, but give them the ability to choose.

Ongoing. Miracles happen. They are not natural, so by definition they require a supernatural component.
Well there is no proof that there is any afterlife, so you have to have faith in something highly improbable.
Which point is that? Is it even definable?I don't support abortion, in a perfect world there wouldn't be no need. but in this world we live in I support the woman's right to choose, up to a point of course.
Edited for spelling
I think that's a big copout. Everything good that happens, praise God. There is sin or terrible things happening on this earth, well God likes sin and He wants you to be really miserable, so you can appreciate when you're not miserable. hmm....
When you say highly improbable, do you have any proof of such? What's the percentage is highly improbable

Well, God love all, but God is also just. As I said He does not want to create computers that will obey him 100%.
It is like a parent, the good ones does not over protect, to say "don't do this and don't do that", they will let you try and fail so you can grow. Things with soul is guarantied to go over to the dark side, humans and angles alike. God did not send the serpent to tempt us, evil did. God didn't create evil, but He created things that are capable of switching to evil.

Then you think wrong.I think you know there has never been any faith healings, and answers to prayers are 50/50 at best.
Then you think wrong.
Oooh, I haven't heard that one in a good few years. I didn't know you atheists still used it.Show me one documented case of healing. Would love to see a limb grow out...
