When did God decide all of this Hell rubbish? Why didn't he tell adam about it?

Hell was not created for mankind.

Great question.\n\nOne could reason that God created man with the hope that he would not seek knowledge and learn the mysteries of the universe.  Adam was forbidden to eat of the tree of knowledge.\n\nNothing in the Bible says anything about science or technology or anything to to with knowledge.  It sticks with human interactions and relationships with each other and God.  The commandments tell us how to act and what to do and not to do with respect to each other.  \n\nTo answer your question about how God wants us to deal with nuclear bombs, it is there in the commandments.  Thou shalt not kill.

I agree with you 100% cassandra.  People continue to disregard God, and this is a pattern.  In the third chapter of Genesis we read the account of Adam And Eve's disregard for God's commands, and the fact that it resulted in the birth of sin and death.  We are descendants of these two people and some of us continue on in their footsteps.  I think that this is an intelligent observation on your part.  If you read on in your bible, at 2 timothy 2 :19, you will see that there is hope that God recognizes those that belong to him.  Psalms 37:11, goes on to tell us that one day the earth will be inhabited by those that share your opinion.  I don't consider your observation to be Pious Bilge, but on the contrary, it shows that you DO have regard for God, and that is to be commended.

Hi Khalil, here are some answers to your questions. \nHow: God created the first human from mud and then blew on it from His own spirit, it started with Adam and Eve on heaven and then they were sent to Earth and from then they gave birth to kids and population growth began.\nWhen: No one really knows exactly, tens of thousands years ago. \nWhy: Adam and Eve (and whole of humanity later) were sent to Earth as an exam to see if they will pass the test of God who warned against sinning - thefts, adultary, lies, hurting others are all among the sins. Good people who will go to Heaven for eternity, and very bad people will go to Hell for eternity. In the end it all rests in God's hands.\nAbout life in other planets, there could be - no one really know exactly. But definately there exist non-human spirits like angels in life.

Huge Problems!!! where!!  have you ever thought the rules of the past may not be applied to what is today!  Adam is believed to have been created as a perfect being, and we know now that the humans are not perfect! get the point!!  Once upon a time Africa was a huge forest, now it is a big desert! ever wondered why!  think about it.\nDuring the time of ADAM and EVE, some believe didn't even have a spoken language, and now, we have so many languages!! ever wondered why!\nEarth is a living, or dying plant.  what was in the past, we many never see, or see again.\nCan you explain any of my questions! if you can! then you will get the answer to your questions as well.  Good luck if you can.\n\nIf the Genesis confuse you, try the Quran, but first take two asprines before you start reading. \ntake my advice.  Sincerely llewrose MD :)

Romans tells us that just by creation all by itself that all men are without any excuse of knowing absolutely that a great marvelous Creator created everything.\n\nHere are the verses you gave us:  Romans 1:18-19\n\nFor the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:  Because, that, when they knew God; they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.\n\nAtheism is philosophically impossible because infinite knowledge is required to make a definite conclusion that God does not exist.  (I think that's what you were getting at anyway.)  No one even has vast knowledge of our own universe, galaxy, etc.  There is so much to explore about what God created it's incredible.

God doesn't follow his own teachings.  It is lust, and greed.  His first commandment shows that he would be envious if you worshiped anyone else.  He also killed babies in Egypt breaking his thou shall not kill commandment.  He also broke his commandment of not coveting your neighbors wife when he knocked up Mary.  If God went by his own rules, he'd be in hell!

God made Adam in His image to have communion(talk) with Him. That is our first and primary goal. Talk to our Creator. Funny how all the "universal questions" can be answered with God's word but few want to live by the Book full of answers! I hope this helps, friend.

I believe that, no, God did not "plan" it this way.  But, I think that God knew that humans were going to be weak.  Yes, I know that that sounds like a contradiction, but, honestly that is the best that I could come up with.  I cannot speak for God, but I know that He knows best.

The issue is not that God’s goodness, God’s power, and evil’s reality can’t fit together, but that there are additional pieces to the puzzle that fit between them and hold them together.\n\n1. Free Will is a partial answer. \nFree will gives a partial answer to this question of evil and suffering. It goes like this: \n\nGod made humanity with free will. \nEvil is a result of human choices. Our first parents chose to sin. \nAs a result of sin, this world has been plunged into suffering. \nEvil, therefore, finds its origin not in the Creator, but in the creature. God receives no blame for evil—we do. We get the credit for evil because we’re the ones who chose to abandon God.\n\n2. As a result of free will, history is discontinuous. \nThere was no evil in God's original creation. But Adam had free will—he was able to sin or to not sin. And he chose to sin. And Adam's choice affected more than just himself. He represented all of humanity. Indeed, Adam represented the whole world (he had dominion over it), and when Adam was sinning, the whole world was declaring war on God. Thus even the natural world was plunged into suffering—animate as well as inanimate (the ground being cursed in Genesis 3 and thus awaiting full salvation at Christ’s return — Romans 8:19-22). This discontinuity is what Christians call the Fall. The world is good (Gen. 1), but fallen in rebellion against God. \n\nHow could God create a world full of evil and suffering? He didn’t. He created a world in which people enjoyed communion with God, intimacy with each other, perfect harmony with the creation, and everlasting life—a world with no suffering, no sin and no guilt. History is radically discontinuous. The world changed at the Fall. \n\nAnd the fact that the Bible says the world is good but fallen certainly makes sense of life. Human beings are capable of great beauty and kindness, but also great evil. Children are cute, but selfish. Adults are smart, but manipulative. The Bible accounts for both the glory and the shame of being human. We’re God’s image, but an image marred and distorted by our divorce from our Creator. \n\nThe Christian philosopher Blaise Pascal spoke of the grandeur and misery of humanity. We are capable of great things, but are always capable of pondering an existence better than the life we now have. Thus we find ourselves in misery precisely because we have the ability to contemplate a better existence. Perhaps the fact that we can imagine a life without suffering is itself a reminder deep within our human consciousness of the life we once enjoyed in loins of father Adam — a life we have lost and can only regain through the redemptive intervention of God in human history. This is a redemption that will only be complete when Jesus Christ returns.\n\n3. If you want God to eradicate evil, you’re demanding that He eradicate us. God’s alternative to eradicating evil people is to redeem them. \nRemember the words of Peter: “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). You blame God for evil in the world? I assure you He can take care of the problem right now — but you won’t like the way He does so. Is there evil in your heart? He can destroy your heart at any moment. The amazing thing, though, is that God doesn’t do this. He made your tongue, and you use it to speak against Him — but He is patient with you. For now. \n\nRedemption is God’s striking alternative to eradication. Rather than destroying his fallen creation, He has chosen to restore a people for Himself, a people who one day will live with Him in a restored creation (2 Peter 3:13).\n\n4. Evil is not a thing, but a privation of the good. \nThis was the point that Augustine made in the fourth century when refuting the dualistic Manichean cult out of which he had come when converted to Christ. Mani h

The curious as well as the critics of Christianity ask this question. If God is all-powerful and all loving, then why does He permit evil and suffering in the world? Various answers have been given but permanently settling the issue is impossible because so many of our answers raise further questions. Nevertheless, our lack of ability to answer the question perfectly does not mean that we cannot offer solutions. Of course, I do not assume to be able to answer these questions definitively, but I can offer some solutions.\n     First of all, it is possible that God has reasons for allowing evil to exist that we simply cannot understand. In this the Christian can have confidence in God knowing that His ways are above our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). As the Bible says, the just shall live by faith (Hab. 2:4).\n     Second, God may be letting evil run its course in order to prove that evil is evil and that suffering, which is the unfortunate product of evil, is further proof that anything contrary to God’s will is bad, harmful, painful, and leads to death. \n     God gave Adam dominion over the world (Gen. 1:28). When he rebelled against God, he set in motion an entire series of events and changed the very nature of man and creation. Both were affected by sin. Creation was no longer a paradise, but bore thorns and thistles (Gen. 3:17-18; Rom. 8:22). People became sinful (Rom. 5:12; Eph. 2:3), who were haters of God (Rom. 3:19-12), etc. The only conclusion to such a situation is death. Jesus said, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened" (Matt. 24:22). \n     Sin is rebellion against God and His created order. But God has not left us alone in this fallen world. He continued to enter this world, pointing us to Himself, to truth, to morality, purity, and love. He used the evil of the world (liars, perjurers, the envious, etc), to bring His Son to the cross so that we might have the opportunity of eternal life. In this, God has not stepped away from fallen creation, but has stepped into it by becoming Jesus. God works within the fallen world to affect change and He uses fallen people to accomplish His will. In this, He is proving His sovereignty over evil, suffering, and rebellious people, proving that sin and evil are utterly futile, and that He is worthy of honor and glory.\n     A third possible reason that God is letting evil occur is so that on the day of judgment, the condemned will have no right to say that their sentence is unjust. God is not stopping people from exercising their free will. Think about this: If someone said that God should stop evil and suffering, then should God then stop all evil and suffering? If God only stopped some of it, then we would still be asking the same question of why it exists. So, if we want God to stop evil and suffering, then He must stop all of it. We have no problem with this when it means stopping a catastrophe, or a murder, or a rape. But what about when someone thinks of something evil? Evil is evil whether it is acted out or not. Hatred and bigotry in someone’s heart is wrong. If it is wrong, and if God is to stop all evil, then He must stop that person from thinking his own thoughts. To do that, God must remove his freedom of thought. Furthermore, which person on the earth has not thought something evil? God would be required, then, to stop all people from exercising their free will. This is something God has chosen not to do. Therefore, we could say that one of the reasons that God permits evil and suffering is because of man’s free will.\n     Fourth, it is quite possible that God uses the suffering to do good. In other words, He produces patience through tribulation (Rom. 5:3). Or He may desire to save someone through it. Take for example, the account of Joseph who was sold into slavery by His brothers. What they did was wrong and Joseph suffered greatly for it. But, later, God raise

God "creates" all humans in that he is the designer of the universe and if you read Genesis 1 (as I'm guessing you have) then you'll find that God created Adam from the dust of the ground.  The trinity (though something I would agree with in principal) is not something directly mentioned in the Bible, but it illustrates that God is 3 in 1 (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit/Ghost) as he exists as a Heavenly Father, Jesus (who walked the earth in human form and who was fully God AND fully man - difficult concept for many to grasp and I'm not saying I have a definitive answer either!) and the Holy Spirit/Ghost - the form in which He lives within our (that is born-again Christian's) lives.  I believe that Adam's "inherant" intelligence was like ours is now though he did not have the advantage of "evolutions of thought" that have occured over the (12,000?) years that the earth has existed.  Also, Jesus was born of a virgin (i.e. one who had not had sex) through the power of God the Father, thus although he had an earthly mother and father (Mary and Joseph), he was not conceived as a child as you or I were.\n\nTo summarize, Adam was created from the dust of the ground as a "young?" man, not conceived of any parents but Jesus was conveived of the Spirit, that is God, and born of Mary, a virgin, as a babe.  What we need to remember is that God's foolishness is higher than man's or woman's intelligence and wisdom.  Don't expect to know all the answers to the universe...  That's God's job!

Who told you God was the first to make laws for humans?  Who is this God you are referring to?  Sodom and gomorrah is passe, now it is called anarchism.

If Adam and Eve hadn't sinned we would deffinantly still be living in a paradise. He told them to fill the earth and subdue it.  Because they sinned thats why we have the sickness, diease, poverty and things today. God purpose has and will never change he still gives us hope that we will end up their again one day as long as we obey his word the bible. We all however have free will and are prone to making mistakes and sinning

When Adam and Eve sinned, the purpose for God's paradise on earth was put into haitus.   Adam and Eve sinned by deliberately breaking God's law. So Jehovah put them out of the garden of Eden. Paradise was lost. God immediatly told Adam that there would be salvation for the future generations by saying "And I will put emnisty between you and the women, you will bruise him in the heel but he will bruise you in the head(Genesis 3:1-6, 23) Jehovah has not forgotten his purpose for this earth. He promises to make it into a paradise, where humans will live forever. How will he do this?—Psalm 37:29. Abraham displayed great faith when we was willing to sacrafice his son to God he told him  "Because of your seed, many nations will be blessed".  I know this sounds confusing but I will get to my point.  The profecy in Genesis 3:15 meant that Jesus would come to be, a promised seed that would balance out what Adam had done for mankind.  He would be bruised in the heel as Satan tried to kill him and he was literaly dead for three days yet Satan will be bruised in the head when he is finally destroyed after his second comming.  Abraham's promised seed (Jesus) would come from  his lineage.  Of course since they themselves (The chosen nation) disobeyed him and did not have faith in him, God removed his favor from them and delivered it to all the nations and those who displayed true faith in him (Us, all human kind)
