What do you think about the logic of God?

[regnauld]

In this light, Jesus' invitation to carry our own crosses daily gains meaning. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is saying that to follow Him is to live truly.

usually takes life of good people while the (susmaryosep) people roam around...
usually accidents happen to good people while a-hole people don't... (i base this in statistics nga makita nako)
children who are good are usually the unfortunate...
rich and crooked people are not usually the people who has problems...
and most importantly..............
wants us to be good but placed evil in the garden of eden (if there is any)...


what do you think?

please.... no explanations on:

-he has his reasons
-it's his will (where's the logic?)

Well, I did not read any of the previous replies.

But here.... as a Christian, I believe that GOD would be very happy to take away teh lives of good people so that they can stay with HIM as soon as possible and take eternal rest.. As GOD as Father is very eager to take His children to His side.

Also, if there are is no poverty or any problems in this world, how can somebody be great person? Great people are called great because they took on the challenge of this world head one man!..

Anyway, personally I would rather be placed in teh garden with evil than with teh one without. It's a more exciting setting...

-- Some good people die early because God loves them. He does not what them to suffer anymore. These people have already proven that they deserve to be in unity with God.
- wow... in that case, don't be really kind, really good...or else....

-- Some bad people do not die early because God also loves them. He believes in their innate goodness, and gives them the chance to change.
- really? well, based on experience, there's no one i know who is bad who changed.....and they're still alive and already old....

-- Some good children may be unfortunate as you said; but God is only giving them trials or tests to make them stronger.
- how many poor/unfortunate people do you know who got really better?

-- Rich and crooked people have problems too. Everybody has, at certain points of his/her life. But if ever one has no problems at one time, then it is the best time when he can reach out to others and extend his help.
- politicians usually don't have problems.... not even worrying they're crooked..

-- If we have not known what is evil, we would not know what is good.
- if there was no evil, wouldn't we really know what is good without seeing evil?

take for example, a child.... do they really know what is good if he can ONLY see good things? are sufferings necessary? NOT....

That is why we have our OUR OWN FREE WILL. We have freedom to do what we want to do. If these people do not want to change or to improve their lives, despite being given the chance, God cannot do anything about that. What is our purpose in being here if we do not have free will - para lang tayong mga puppet pala and God is the puppet master? That is not my concept of God.

The concept of good and bad to a child depends on what he perceives around him, or could also depend on what he was taught to be good and bad by his parents or just his surroundings. Minsan ang bagay na mali, sa mata ng bata nagiging tama, lalo na pag nakikita nia na ginagawa ng nakakatanda.

Please do not generalize things sir.

i have a new motto in life....

don't be too good, god will kill you.... (what happened to francis m., ninoy, etc....)

You're taking it literally.

God will not kill you when you die as a good person. Death of the physical body is not death of the spiritual being. (at least in my point of view)

Case logic:

If God created matter/energy, and designed the systems that have propelled matter into its present arrangement, who or what accomplished that for God?

The problem here is that many people have a mistaken concept of God. If we conceive of God as physical, anthropomorphic (like man) being, the question of God’s origin is valid. However, such a concept of God is alien to the Bible and to common sense.

I think that if that Being were dependent upon something for its own existence then that Being wouldn't be God.

One of the best LOGIC of GOD is seen in Mathematics and demonstrated in ENNEAGRAM.

[tripwire]

the patterns I see in that are series of graphs, star polygons and constructed on regular and irregular triangles and hexagrams. Question, where is the "logic" in this enneagram?
