Is god making some of the avatars not work, or is that work of the devil?

Er ... okay.\n\nI didn't realise they were the avatars of real staff members; I thought they were just drawings.\n\nGood luck with that. Maybe you could try the Yahoo!Answers section for your question.

I believe in what you believe it seems. I don't think the evolutionary theory is an excuse though. Satan had to do something to give non-believers a way to think without the Lord in their life.Now the monkey thing may be wierd or stupid,but if you didn't believe in the Lord, what would you believe to prove He doesn't exist?

Ok, so you think God might have been a master illusionist. Let's think of it this way, God isn't the only one with "powers" i guess you could say. Th devil workss his mischief into the equation and provides those who don't believe in God with, so called, powers. This is the very reason why it's so hard for people to accept the idea that God exists. Theres just so much out there having to do with magic and trickery that anyone can say that their god is real above all others. I personally don't believe that God was just an illusionist, there's just gotta be some higher being out there that made everything possible. I hope this answer helps.

Gods and goddesses belong to an infinite class of ideas that are incapable of being proven or disproven.  It's just like primitive people believing that evil demons cause disease - We can show exactly how micro-organisms cause disease, we can produce treatments based on that knowledge which actually work, we can show that people who claim to treat disease in supernatural ways are actually frauds, but we can never *disprove* the idea that demons are involved.  All we can say is that there is no rational reason to believe it.  The same is true of gods - We can't prove they are just imaginary, but there's no rational reason to believe in them.

Good point...a agree with you ... created things cant be God ...whatever they are... men or idols... there is only God which is to be worshiped...

I'm not totally sure that these people's actions are fully from God. Not to be like anti-God or anything please don't assume, but Satan also has powers that influence people and can eventually take over their lives. Being a Christian, I don't believe that these men are really doing what you think they are, but I'm not speaking for the whole Christian body, just for me. On the counter, there's nowhere in the Bible that says, "miracle healers are fake," but I can't believe that this is true. There is a passage in the Bible that talks about weak Christians (people who believe that they have to wear a certain thing, look a certain way, do certain things, etc. not saying that they aren't Christians, they are) and strong Christians, (who believe that we can come to Jesus as we are and that He is the sacrifice for our sins.) I think that these miracle healers are the weaker Christians and the strong Christians must help them see that they don't have to do that. They think that they have to heal and touch people to make them well, when really the miracle is from God. I hope that you can make sense of all this. This is a very difficult passage of Scripture to understand.

Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

Interesting question. Here is what i think of this. God does not need to be human first to be able to make humans. Just like we dont need to be a cd or a dvd player to be able to make them. 'In His image' means that we have in us, qualities that are His too, like love and compassion, and the ability to create new things, like tv's, and other electric, non-electric things. Even can play with dna and come up with new things. But all this does not qualify us as Gods, for we are "In His image", and not Gods per sec. Image is like a shadow of a thing, like one's reflection in a mirror. We have in us but a reflection of His qualities, which make us "in His image" but not Him.

Not when the Baby Jesus Man growed up.  He git his edumucation then, I reckon'.  Ain't nothin like nothin that says, "Simple is as simple does."  Thats what I herd, anyway...\n\nAll kidding aside, I want to say, "Great avatar!"  And with the perfect User ID to go with it.

Nope, though i guess it depends on your idea of "God" in the first place. I guess i believe in a non-interventionist god; the guy (or gal, or whatever!) is far too busy dealing with the infinite nature of the universe to be bothered with one measly town of pretty measly people/animals. One of the greatest fallacies in the human conception of god is that we are the guy's greatest priority. We're soooooo vain!!!!!!

No. I believe that it is working exactly as God intended for it to work.\n\nYou see it the way that you do because you have been mislead about the true nature of God and of reality.\n\nLove and blessings Don

Christian god needs repairing and reshaping. I will be happy to repair her but I am busy with repairing the Jewish and muslim gods for the time being. After I repair the christian one, your problems will be solved ... believe me...

It never occured to me to be concerned about an avatar.  Some people, like me, have several they use - so, you might answer a question that has an innocent looking avatar - but the next day, that avatar might be different.   But just keep telling  yourself "it's only an avatar... it's only an avator..."

a god without works is not God, so would be dead. that would be a false god, as the real God has done and continues to do all kinds of works.
