Sin has been part of creation. It is timeless just like the universe.

However, my concern is that the G-d you refer here seem not to be omnipotent and omniscient, otherwise G-d is supposed to know the end from the beginning and save himself from the stress of repeating a finished work which the sacred book wrote "and God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely"

Or do you have a other god in mind?

Problem has been adopting European concept of God. In Yoruba spirituality of IFA, even the Supreme Being consulted IFA for divination. In one case when he was troubled by the extreme powers of the negative forces of nature who brought a lot of suffering to humans.

Politics is the one and only reason why there is so much suffering on this planet!

God never created humans to rule over humans, we were created to rule over all other creatures but over humans only the Creator has the right to rule. Jeremiah 10:23

That's why there's so much suffering on this planet! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9

God's plan now is to restore sanity to the earth through His Kingdom (Government) {Matthew 6:10} it's only then can the inhabitants of this planet know true peace! Isaiah 48:17-18 smiley

It is not by human power, might, strength or wisdom, but by the Spirit of the Owner of the Ten Commandments, that anyone can keep them without breaking anyone.

So, yes, steep, I, elated177, can, by the Spirit of Ten Commandments - the Spirit of Yahushua the Messiah - obey him completely.


The Scriptures abound with servants of YHVH Almighty who kept his Ten Commandments without breaking anyone.

Tell me who Yahushua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) is.

How is he "lording" over you --- exercising his lordship over?

In what ways are you showing his lordship over you, steep?
I refer you to read Psalm 24 and confirm whether you can, by yourself, abide by or measure up to the declaration.

Let's start from there

Rather, you should be asking "Why is there too much suffering in Africa"'?

Reasons:
1. Because we have refused to depart from our foolishness.
2. The Europeans that sold Christianity and Islam to you have consistently remained progressive. But Africans will attend church service/prayer and Jumah prayers 7dys a week, 364dys in a year. Yet they plot and ploy evil.
3. We worship money bags.
4. Encourage corrupt politians, yet complain of bad governance.
5. Beleiving tha manner still fall from heaven, instead of thinking out of the box to solve our challenges.
6. African government beleive in begging for alms from UN and World bank like beggers. Blaming the europeans for theoir poor state.
7. Africans still engage in slavery. Selling your brothers/sisters to labour camps with pretence to migrate them to europe for a better life.
etc...........

Dtruthspeaker:


I do not think it is right to call it sin nature, for as life has proven, the choice to become a sinner, is one of Desire and Decision exactly the same Judgement God arrived on to wit
"The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil ALL THE TIME.

We also have the God Nature, but if you examine every sin, you would see that the sinners did see the choice to not sin but but motivated by the pleasure and profit of sin, they therefore chose it. RCCG Night Prayers

Which is why they even dared to think themselves good when they once turned away from doing an evil thing.

The answer is sin!

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

God created a perfect world but Adam who was the head of the physical creation disobeyed God and brought sin into the creation, everything on earth is under a curse, hence the hardship abnormalities both medically and in otherwise, this world is literally dying, there is chaos,bitterness,pain, sickness, poverty, and every other malady.

But thank God he provided a means of redemption, Jesus christ the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.
Jesus Christ is the solution to sin he literally became sin (by taking on our sin) so we can become the righteousness of God.
the creation itself would be set free from its bondage when the sons of God (the redeemed are manifest) but however the future of this universe is complete annihilation by God.

However, God has a plan of creating a complete new heaven and earth with new human beings in them, this new creation is free from sin and as a result free from the woes of this creation and this my friend is what we the saints look forward to.

Dear friend to be part of this new creation all you have to do is to repent, (have a change of heart towards God by embracing his way) and faith towards Jesus christ.

No!

The answer is your useless, incompetent, deaf and sadist God, who you all pray to everyday and the hopeless thing does not hear or do anything meaningful.

Find a useful and competent God!

Steep:

There is Adam's sin, there is the Adamic nature and there is your sin.
Through Adam's sin you recieve a sin nature (adamic nature) however when you obey that sin nature you sin, this is your sin. You have a choice to either obey the commandment of God or not, failing to do so you commit sin and you will be Judged for your sin.

Not as easy as u say it.

I have struggled to resist sins even after calling upon God to help me. Sin nature is inherent in every man. Even Apostle Paul lamented when he said.. that which he wants to do he doesn't do and that which he doesn't want to do, he finds himself doing. This doesn't negate the existence or the power of God. God is still God.

Question was, WHY SO MUCH SUFFERING ON EARTH or are we saying the earth is an ELDORADO

Have the brain to manage what I created better with a better system to test their "loyalty" and "journey to heaven".

To start with:

- I would not be giving them free will and temptations to test they "loyalty".

- I would not think the only way to get myself to forgive them is by brutally torturing & killing my own son.

- And the ones that fail, I would throw them into fire? ..............Forever? ........Making sure they never die?


A brain that thought of all that is psychopathic!

I perfectly agree with you on your narrative but it's a pity the above doesn't describe what God did Sir, what you typed up there is based on the misconception of religionists who failed to listen to God's modern day servants sent to educate them regarding what actually happened! smiley

Sorry, I don't understand.

Can you do two things for me:

1) List about 5 of these modern day servants.

2) Tell me what their narrative would be on the 3 points I made (aka what God actually did).

2) Tell me what their narrative would be on the 3 points I made (aka what God actually did).

Question 1
God's modern day servants are in millions across the globe today, they're fully competent and completely equipped Bible scholars with the wisdom to explain God's word to you {2Timothy 3:16-17} they all have the same line of thought {John 17:22} and as a result they've use what they gathered in the Bible to settled all their racial disparities among themselves, they're now diverting all their resources into the production of food and information materials, they have vowed never to raise weapons against their fellowman neither will they learn war anymore! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Question 2
God's intention before creation was to make a planet where fleshy creatures using instinct will live and out of all this fleshy creatures one specie will be created with the ability to create other things so this one will not live on instinct like the rest rather it will be the one overseeing everything on the planet.
Now each of the creatures will continue to bring forth their kind as they're all in subjection to the one and only creature made with the ability to think and make life sweeter with his freewill. But there is going to be a problem, remember all other creatures live on instinct so all they knew is food, mating and rest. The creature with the ability to think and make things better differ from the rest so when it begins to reproduce it mustn't think of dominating it's kind otherwise trouble will start that's why God told them (Adam and Eve)

"all what you feel that's good you can do with your freewill but please never try to rule over your kind because when that happens it will lead you to self destruction and i won't tolerate that" Genesis 2:17

Sadly the first human couple decided to rebel against God they feel if God is out of the way they can successfully dominate their own children so God told them that the energy sustaining their breath will be short-lived so they will expire! Genesis 3:19

Consequently they saw all the troubles their rebellion caused as their own first son killed his brother and ran away, so many things went wrong in their eyes before they finally passed away.
Today it's the same problem that's causing all the suffering in the world as humans are trying to rule over humans the suffering in increasing everyday! Ecclesiastes 4:1;8:9

Regarding the killing of God's Son that's a topic that's a bit difficult to grasp but i will explain why it has to be so if you understand why the earth is filled with suffering today!

I understand but you should first consider the topic of discussion "SUFFERING EXPERIENCED BY ALL" it could be annoying and it's not everyone that's gotten the spirit of God.
So if you're a believer you need to be calm when listening to people telling you how they feel inside! 1Peter 3:15 smiley

Please don't post these kind of things to me.

I asked for specific things, not for you to dump your sermons on me.

So lets go again:

1) List about 5 of these modern day servants.

2) Tell me what their narrative would be on the 3 points I made (aka what God actually did).

Living with people, who don't engage their brains but are instead praying all the time, and their lack of brain utilisation and ability impacts your society and quality of life is not only provocative, it is infuriating!
