M©+square SG I suggest you get in deep into your Bible and read from Cover to Cover. If Christians adopt to the belief that God created Demons and devils. They are screwed. And Christianity is screwed big time.
Icemoon SG Sorry .. is there a stephen tang? I think you don't take him seriously .. 'cos you even got his name wrong.
nightzip SG huh?? And I thought God is omni-present....everywhere and all knowing? So God also have emotions? as in he gets angry, sad, happy, etc...so when you speak to him in his good mood he address your problem better, and if he bad mood, he wont listen to your prayers?
Icemoon SG Haha .. the bible is a book also right? I feel one should adopt the attitude of a good student - fan3 fu4 si1 kao3. sorry .. what is the best english translation for si1 kao3? I think the chinese word explains very well.
M©+square SG The bible is book to some. Is Rhema to others. Si Kao- Give thoughts. Ponder over. Study. Research. Reflect
Icemoon SG hmm .. but Genesis did say god entered the garden and the first couple heard his footsteps. That god's emotions affected his decision is just my conjecture .. anyway god can be very angry and his punishments can be quite harsh sometimes. It leads you to wonder whether the victims deserve them.
Icemoon SG Si is the thinking part. then kao leh? deciding part? or does it mean something like check? like kao3 zheng4 with regards to historical events.
Icemoon SG the events do not contradict an omnipotent possibility you know? I believe God purposely let the first couple shou shi4 tan4, ie. temptation. So when He came in He kei xiao one. It is like playing with a toddler. You see the child hiding the toy or sweet behind him. So you ask him, "where is the sweet?" Of course you know where is the sweet!
davidche SG ok so the problems r: Did god create satan and demons and diseases? Well i see these chapters in the book already. Will read it tmr and try to ans. Meanwhile anyone hu has answers can also help me. thanks and happy chatting with icemoon mc2 and lawrence!!
