You have an interesting point, but God can do anything and if things change (like evolution) GOD could stop it and alter it if God wanted to.\n\nIt is also said "God" has a plan for everything.  We have the genome, is that God's plan?\n\nScience is going to face this in 500 years.\n\nScience is going to try and "create life" or make "intellegent design" with gene splicing, genome altering,etc.\n\nWhat will SCIENCE do when the unexpected happens!\n\nLike it or not we have to go back to Science Fiction writers.\n\nPhil K. Dick Do Anderoids Dream of Electric Sleep (Blade Runner).\n\nOr to Mary Shelly (Frankenstein)\n\nWhat do you do when your creation GETS OUT OF HAND.\n\nGod considered wiping us out more than once.\n\nWhat will Science do\n\nProbably the BEST parable I have read was Huxley's BRAVE NEW WORLD\n\nWhere Mustapha Man, the fearless leader, allowed the Alpha + Pscyhologists embryo to continue despite an error in the chemical imbalance due to alchol being introduced which was not supposed to be introduced.\n\nThis is a very complex dark comedy of errors.\n\nIt will face our scienctists in 500 to 1,000 years when we play GOD and we will play GOD.

God never goes further than the mind that invented him.\n\nHis universe is usually very limited.

no one really knows how god works\n\nI'd like to think that IF  he  is "recycling" souls, he puts them in the opposite situation then what they were just in so that the soul can gain a new perspective \nex.\n Rich person - poor person, \n     athlete - nerd\n     demorcrat -republican\nThis way in the end, we all understand each other better

Of course it will.  Think back to God's original purpose for Adam and Eve.  They were to populate the earth, take care of the earth and its animal population --\n(Gen 1:26-28)And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.\n\nHas a few of God's creations turned rebels, thwarted that purpose?  Wouldn't that make God's power seem rather weak?\n\nOf course, he immediately came up with a solution in the garden of Eden.  This has been playing out over time.  In a nutshell, His son, Jesus had to come to earth to redeem mankind from sin.  Upon Jesus' resurrection to heaven he sat waiting for his Father to give the word to start taking charge of his new Kingly responsibilities (Psalm 110:1)\n\nSoon, Jesus will cleanse the entire earth and give it to those who do his will. “The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth.” (Proverbs 2:21, 22) And the psalmist says: “Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more . . . But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” (Psalm 37:10, 11) Also removed will be Satan, so that “he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended.” (Revelation 20:1-3) Yes, “the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”—1 John 2:17.\n\nSumming up the grand hope for those who want to live forever on earth, Jesus said: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5) Likely he was referring to Psalm 37:29, which foretold: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” Jesus knew that it was Jehovah’s purpose to have righthearted ones live on a paradise earth forever. Jehovah says: “I myself have made the earth, mankind and the beasts that are upon the surface of the earth by my great power . . . , and I have given it to whom it has proved right in my eyes.”—Jeremiah 27:5.\n\nA Marvelous New World\n\nAfter Armageddon, God’s Kingdom will usher in a marvelous “new earth” in which “righteousness is to dwell.” (2 Peter 3:13) What a tremendous relief it will be for Armageddon survivors to be rid of this oppressive wicked system of things! How delighted they will be to have entered the righteous new world under the heavenly Kingdom government, with marvelous blessings and everlasting life in view!—Revelation 7:9-17.\n\nNo more will people be threatened by war, crime, hunger, or even predatory animals. “I will conclude with [my people] a covenant of peace, and I shall certainly cause the injurious wild beast to cease out of the land . . . And the tree of the field must give its fruitage, and the land itself will give its yield, and they will actually prove to be on their soil in security.” “They will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. They will not lift up sword, nation against nation, neither will they learn war anymore. And they will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble.”—Ezekiel 34:25-28; Micah 4:3, 4.\n\nSickness, sorrow, and even death will be eliminated

Who is go?...Did you mean God?...if you're speaking of "GOD" the answer to your question 1: Yes, God Is Forgiving..the answer to your question 2: When God created man, He gave us a "WILL" to pick & choose what we want to do!..the answer to question 3: No, God was not punishing the Jews!..In my line of profession, I've heard quite a few of you atheist ask these same question and it's OK that you're curious about it!..To get a very good understanding about God & why things were done, etc. etc. etc. you need to research the Scriptures..The Plan Of Salvaton: The Redeemption Of Man; God's Love & Mercy: etc.

Dude, your obviously asking the wrong people. Try asking yourself. Logic would destroy religion, but unfortunatly, it probably never will; just look at your answers!!(synfi excluded)

You are the victim of a godless university system.  In the US especially, liberal professors make it their goal to destroy the faith of Christians.  Most succeed.\n\nSomething to consider:  If the Bible was written only by humans, without help from God, how is it that 1/3 of the Bible is prophecy?  (History written in advance.)  And no, these are not so vague that you could make anything fit them.\n\nAlfred Edersheim was a 19th century Bible scholar. He was Jewish, and researched the various Messianic prophecies, and discovered that the Jewish Messiah was in fact Jesus of Nazareth.\n\nHe wrote a book called "The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, and in it, he listed 456 separate Messianic Prophecies that Jesus alone fulfilled.\n\nNow, some philosophers may attempt to discredit these by saying that Jesus learned these, and adapted His life to fit them.  But, how does one manipulate where he was born?  Who would willingly face a gruesome torture and death if He were not truly who He said He was?

Better take him seriously.  He probably plans to be the anti-christ.in his next incarnation.

Yes, God has predestined some to hell and it is their choice to go. I know it sounds like an antimony but it really isn't. \n\nWhen we attribute foreknowledge to God, we mean that all things have ever been, and perpetually remain, before His eyes, so that to His knowledge nothing is future or past, but all things are present: and present in such a manner that He does not merely conceive of them from ideas formed in His mind, as things remembered by us appear present to our minds, but really beholds and sees them as if actually placed before Him. And this foreknowledge extends to the whole world and to all the creatures. Predestination we call the eternal decree of God, by which He hath determined in Himself what He would have to become of every individual of mankind. For they are not all created with a similar destiny; but eternal life is foreordained for some, and eternal damnation for others.

hahahha.  That will preach.  NOT\n\nDidn't this already happen?  snake handlers...  blah blah...\n\nWHO WAS JESUS TALKING TO?  HELLOOOOOOOO?\n\nJESUS GAVE THAT POWER TO WHO?  Not CHristians  He gave it too the Apostles.\n\n THE APOSTLES GAVE IT TOO...NOBODY.  That ended with the Last apostle.\n\nAny Christian that claims to have the power of a apostle, We can see.  A apostle had the power to raise the dead.\n We can go to a cemetary and, you raise the first one from the grave....I'll raise the second one.

I recommend reading "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett.\n\n"It's a god-eat-god world."\n\n"You can't trample infidels when you're a tortoise. I mean, all you could do is give them a meaningful look."\n\nCuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum.\n\nThe trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to.\n\nMost gods find it hard to walk and think at the same time.\n\n"He says gods like to see an atheist around. Gives them something to aim at."\n\nWhen you can flatten entire cities at a whim, a tendency towards quiet reflection and seeing-things-from-the-other-fellow's-point- of-view is seldom necessary.\n\n"All the other prophets came back with commandments!" "Where they get them?" "I ... suppose they made them up." "You get them from the same place."

Ask them where in the Bible it says, "God helps those who help themselves." Just remember that people want to argue and think that they can "bull" their way through sounding like an intellectual. It won't work with God, so they should just be honest with themselves.

It is written that God gave man the power of reason,,and the power to question his own creator,,,,,so the answer could be,,,that human kind,,,was been given limitless power to interfere with Gods will.\nthe more we question,,,the closer we get to God.
