    Riddle me this buypoe

    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
    Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing?
    Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able and willing?
    Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God?

    Who can answer Epicurus's riddle?

    Colosians 2:8
    Contemporary English Bible:
    Col 2:8 Don't let anyone fool you by using senseless arguments. These arguments may sound wise, but they are only human teachings. They come from the powers of this world and not from Christ.

    International Standard Version:
    Col 2:8 See to it that no one enslaves you through philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.



    If you truly want these answers, study the bible. If you're unwilling to study the bible, you don't have both sides. I haven't studied the bible, but I'm pretty sure reality is neutral. Good and evil balance eachother.

    I'm sure a lot of people use this riddle to explain why they are atheist or without religion. I don't see why, unless you really think your life is going to amount to how smart you think you are compared to people who believe in religion.

    As we should all know, religion is used as the basis of morality around the world. Even if you don't believe in it, Christianity teaches morals, as do other religions.

    Translation: If someone contradicts God, ignore it. Why? Don't ask questions, just ignore it!

    You don't have to believe, but it's not a fight worth fighting. The universe is meant to be balanced, good and evil. That's why Christians believe in heaven and hell, God and Satan, etc.

    God, the all forgiving being of omniscient qualities. Creates a hell to send his "beloved creations" for all eternity of unimaginable pain.

    Thousand years bathed in eternal hellfire.

    Oh, and that's not even an eternity. You just keep adding zeros.

    Completely all forgiving, all loving god.

    It's hard to be forgiven by someone you don't accept. Christians believe god created us to make a decision. To accept or deny. And this decision can only be made if there is balance of good/evil. If it wasn't balanced, life wouldn't be original and it would have little meaning.

    God forgives all mistakes, no matter the degree, but only if the person is willing to be forgiven and accepts that he will be forgiven sincerely.


    Like I said what does this matter to you? When your lying on your deathbed are you going to remember how you outsmarted all the Christians on Buypoe.com and die a happy death thinking it?

    If you want to know why this can exist, read and understand the bible. It won't give you proof. But instead, a choice.

    Thats not why Hell was created, coming from the bible and I quote
    Matthew 25:41 - Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and His angels.
    Meaning, Hell was created for the fallen angels and not for man. Hell was enlarged to accommodate the fallen human race, but it was not created originally for the human race.

    Although it seems to me if selective salvation were true, Hell would have been created for mankind.


    If I seem emotionless to you... As if I just simply don't care about you, what your saying, or anything else going on, Its because I really don't care. Sorry.
