Title: If you met God...
Post by: NintendoIke64 on July 18, 2004, 11:57:44 AM
If you met God (Not meaning to offend if you're not Christian) and could ask him one question, what would you ask? As for me, I'm not sure yet. Let me think about it for a while.

When people die at early ages, is it part of your plan that they die young, or is it because humans have free will and unconsciously made decisions that caused the person to die?

Why did I live the majority of my life without even thinking You exist? I mean, is this some sort of sick joke, making people who don't believe in You?

I can answer that first one, Steve. He didn't MAKE people that way, but he DOES give people the freewill to *choose* not to believe in Him. Now, the next question could be "why did He make people with freewill?" To that one could answer with a rhetorical question: wouldn't it be much more rewarding if someone actually loved you out of their own heart, rather than *making* someone love you?
And LD: he'd create people and give them the knowledge to invent it. (Or simply just make one himself). :P

What's the point of everything? Is it for your entertainment, or is it part of your plan? And who is this plan for, anyway? If it's for you, couldn't you just skip ahead to the end of the plan so it's completed, or is someone else making you do it?

I am Chritstian, so what I'm about to post some of you may not understand. If I met God, I would ask him, " When is Jesus coming back?" Oh yeah, and GG, to answer your question, all animals don't have souls. So dogs and every other animal in the world don't go to heaven or anywhere else. Oh yes, Markio, it says in the Bible that if you disrespect your parents, that God will cut years off your life. So young people may die young because they don't do what their parents tell them to or etc. Steve, answer to your second question is no considering God has INFINITE power.

TEM: That's just gross... XD
Killa: Actually, GG has a good question. Humans are the only one's talked about having souls, but they're also the only ones who have freewill and know right from wrong. The Bible mentions in several places that all creatures of the earth will praise him, so I can't see why they wouldn't be in heaven, despite not having souls. It's one of those opinion questions where no one knows the real answer. Kudos, GG! :P

Guys, you're not supposed to answer the questions, that just takes the funny away! Except that one about dogs going to heaven, that was a happy answer. XD

According to the first book of the Bible we were created in God's image and become sinful because we obtained the knowledge of good and evil. I think this makes us more like God. Not that God sins (that may be interesting), but that He knows everything so since we now know about good and evil our knowledge while likely much less than God's is now closer to his than before the tree. So, I think I know the reason for the symbolism of the fruit on the tree. It shows that we have free will. I thinks its kind of like the difference between movies and video games. Before the "knowledge" we were a movie to God in the since that everything was preplaned (althought quantum mechanics disagrees with this), but after the "knowledge" we have free will and it is more like he a video game AI and different plot lines and endings. In this way I do not believe that God knows how everything will happen. I see him as like the game programmer who knows all the different possiblities, but not for sure what any one player will do. Because if he did we may not have free will. I am not saying that he has no affect on the outcome of everything, but instead choices to limit his affect on it in order that we be more like him. I could be wrong and it doesn't really matter in the big picture anyway.
I would ask:
We did you create the Devil (or allow him to fall as described in a book that is not part of the Bible) and Hell? Having someone like the Devil trick us seems to be against our free will and why have a hell for those who He allowed not to praise him.
What happens to babies, children, or adults for that matter who never learned about God? I have heard people say that those people go to heaven or at least get a second chance. If they go to heaven wouldn't couldn't that be used as justification for killing all the young and not spreading the word. And if they get a second chance does everyone? Aslo, what about people who died before Jesus was born, people of other religions, Jews, and the retarded?
Did Jesus have free will and if so could he have sinned? I think he had free will because He asked to let the cup pass, but took God's will over His.
And for non-religious questions.
Whe killed Kennedy and why?
Are there other beings like us?
Are there other Gods?
Is there a GUT (Grand Unified Theory) or TOE (Theory of Everything)?
Can you bypass the Uncertainty Principle?
That's enough series stuff.
Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?
Where's Waldo's dog?
How many licks does it take to get the the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

Ok LD. All babies go to heaven because they don't have minds or even know anything. The people that are mentaly retarted most likely go to heaven since they dont have the understanding of Jesus. The people of other religions, is their choice on which religion they want to take part in. Some people may choose the wrong religion, and thats their choice. They may truly beleive in it so they me blinded to the truth. It's kind of weird to think that God gives us the free will to choose, when he knows the path we will choose to take. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to know that God knows the future, and still knows that some people will not be exposed to the truth. He knows that someone born to the wrong religion will not make it to heaven, therfore I dont understand sometimes why he chooses to create such people. But then again, us as humans think logical, therfore we dont understand they way God acts sometimes. God sometimes isn't logical. I don't realy understand that its our choice, considering he already knows what we're going to choice to do.

"Oh yes, Markio, it says in the Bible that if you disrespect your parents, that God will cut years off your life."
Unless you ask forgiveness in prayer.
Eh, the babies going to Heaven or not brings up abortion.
I believe abortion is completely wrong because you could call it murder. A fetus starts to move after 3 weeks of gestation, so you could classify it as living. Now, if you take away one's life, you've oviously commited

Lizard Dude, I think Killa of PS2's post was actually a reply to the pervious post I made since his post was about several things that was in the post I had made just before his. But since it has been suggested that Luigison and Lizard Dude are split pesonalities of the same person I can forgive his mistake.
TEM, I hope your post was sarcasm. I would hate to that only Lizard Dude (and I) care about what happens to babies.
Trainman, praying for forgiveness is not all you have to do. You also have to repent. It's kind of like the Bart Simpsons saying, "I don't know! I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again!"

TEM: To answer taht question of yours early on in the thread: I told Luigison the same thing, Male Lactation is possible in extreme cases (That means we can make milk, too, but it'd probably be all disgusting).
And Mariofan 7: Good questions, but they all have answers even a regular person can answer.
Especially the last one: No. The day they team up will be the day I've gone to an insane asylum.

OK, this has been bugging me for almost a month now, and I have to post this just to get it over with.
First of all, Sapph, LD's question was what God would do FOR a Klondike Bar, not what he would do to GET one. If he created one or created people to make one, it wouldn't be a challenge, he would just be doing what would be nencessary to get one.
Second of all, why are you answering questions that aren't for you to answer? People are asking GOD. I don't mean just you Sapph, but seriously, the point of this thread seems more like it's edging toward asking the unanswerable, not answering questions for people.
Sorry if I'm coming off as a jerk, but my conscience feels more guilty not saying this than keeping quiet and suffering internally for not saying this thing which I just had to say.
I wish I was in the forest with a dragon right now.

If everybody's supposed to be happy in heaven, what would happen if two people who don't like each other(but were fairly decent people otherwise) got into heaven, and either of them would only be happy if the other was UNHAPPY?
