(John 14:6)  Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

God is infinite in wisdom and power, unlimited in love and goodness. The other one you ask about is envious malicious and deceitful.

God is Holy; He cannot even look upon iniquity. Inherently sinful man must clean himself up (even with His help) before approaching the Holy of Holies.\n\ne.g. If one maintains a willful lifestyle of iniquity, he cannot become reconciled unto God.

Think about this...I am a father of three beautiful children.  No matter what they did, didn't do or could do, I could never say to them "I'm sending you away to eternal suffering and never want to see you again".  Now, I'm not even close to being Divine- not nearly as loving or merciful as so many state God is; I'm human and prone to err.  So if I can forgive MY child for anything, how is it that an Omnipotent Divinity that is perfect cannot?  My belief is every soul is recycled until all the lessons needed are learned and then they are accepted into "heaven" or to join with The Divine.  It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

No.  My Goddess and God aren't human - they don't have human emotions.  They don't do things out of spite or love or anything other than because they're trying to restore balance.  Sometimes it's difficult to accept that the "bad" things that happen to me are just a burning away of the old, a necessary cleansing that needs to happen so there can be new growth, especially if I wasn't ready to let go of what has passed.  But the Goddess/God don't do things maliciously.\n\nBright blessings!\n)O(

How someone can hurt and disappoint you o child of the divinity ?\n\nLet Him work through you and you witness all the karma as HIS...problem is solved

God is soveriegn, and everything that happens is according to His will. Sometimes God even has to allow bad things to happen to make people turn to him or to help people trust in Him.

Karma transcends the boundaries of current lifetimes. Karma is a learning tool, whereby you simply take on the consequences of your actions, good or bad, and progress through trying different choices..finally, after many lifetimes, one realizes that the best way to conduct oneself is  with love and compassion. This leads to the least suffering and the most happiness in the long run. However, what a man thinksof as happiness is not necessarily what God intends. Bliss of the Union with the Divine is the goal, not the comforts of a placated ego. A person may be materially well set up, but the karma is bad as this does not push him towards union with God. Its a crude mkistake to think that simply becasue a person has 'gotten away with it', that they have escaped their karma. No one escapes karma. It is an ineluctable force of the universe, like gravity. That is why it is written - 'vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.'\n meaning that there is no need to punish anyone. Karma works everything out so that each person is finally brought into the Presence. However, if you don't accept the transmigration of souls from one lifetime to the next, then it all seems very confusing.The Bible denies or doesn't mention karma as it conflicts with their apocalyptic dogma.

If God were perfect, would he have created a flawed world which causes great disappointment to himself?

I don't believe there is a hell.  Why would a supreme being have petty emmotions like venegence?  What use would there be?  He wants us to learn from mistakes, and he forgives...so why a hell?  It's a bit harsh.

one cant, at least THIS one cant.  When something terrible happens and you question gods "wisdom" a religious person will most often come back with god has a plan we just don't know what it is.  Well my point is if there is a god and this god is omnipotent then this god allows all of this terrible stuff to happen.  Now if this god has a plan that lets these things happen FOR WHATEVER REASON then it is not something I would want in my life.  If a person stands idly by and lets pain and suffering befall his fellow man when it is in his/her ability to stop the suffering then they are as much at fault as whatever is causing the suffering.  If a "god" dose the same thing, well its just a perverse sort of thing to put your faith in.

The trinity is not easy to understand for humans.  God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy spirit are three persons in one.  For us limited three dimensional creatures this would not be possible.  For an unlimited, infinite, pan dimensional being such as God, this is very possible.  We cannot fully conceive it but we can imagine it.  You must simply suspend your dimensional logic and imagine beyond what is possible.

I yes, I can accept this picture: God is an old senile elder, who did some great things in the past, but recently he lost contact with the world, can do nothing, listen to nobody, helps nobody. He is far from omnipotent. Only his children thought - years ago - he can do anything, but since than even they grow up.\n\nOhh, he looks like and behaves like m grandfather...

Well. pretty much as a rule, the whole of humanity decides what's ordinary and what isn't. Technically if you want it written in stone you'll have to do a world-wide poll, including every living person. That's not really feasible, though.\n\nEdit: I disagree. You have to be reasonable, you can't expect everything to be perfect, you really can't. You have to declare something sensibly "ordinary" or "extraordinary" and realise that no matter what there's always going to be those few  who are going to disagree, no matter what. By the standard of perfect, everything is "meaningless" because nothing is perfect.

They certainly can co-exist\n\nI find it amazing that people who worship a "perfect" god do not believe that their god is capable of creating a being that adapts to it's environment, or evolves.

God can touch or heal according to his will, and often does.\nWe cannot know all things as God does - but he never wills harm to anyone, it is not possible for him because of who he is.\nThe reason we have awful things, wars, hunger, poverty, mental illness - is because we chose to rebel against God, to sin, and we live in the consequences of sin - in a broken world. Again, the terrible things of this world are not God's desire or will.\nHe would not create things to harm them - his way is love, forgives, grace, mercy.
