Only I can judge God. I is you if you choose to be.

I see old GIA is still at it.....you know me from another forum under a different name. Long time no see.

I am around a bit less but will not likely give this up altogether.

I like to learn but few around these sites know how to teach.

Evil is not a creation, but an action.

I don't think so. I think evil is a perception. It is in the eye of the beholder.

I agree.
What is in the eye of the beholder or what he perceives is an action. Right?

Not quite. No action is evil of itself. "Evil" is a term of judgment. The very same action can be simultaneously seen as evil and good, by different people. In reality, the true definition of "evil" is what the other guy is doing.

Personally, I don't believe in good or evil. There are only choices.

I agree. As judged by both the winner and the loser.
In competitions, the winner will not see evil but the loser will.

Hmm. In some senses yes.

No choice but to think evil has come your way if you are a woman who gives a still birth so I see exemptions to your rule even as she may choose to call that evil.
Strange would be a woman who would choose to think it good.

That's another one of Satans' scams: Convincing you that YOU are a God!

Yes, Humans are capable of amazing things, but we are not and will never be Gods.

Then why do the scriptures say "Ye are gods"?

1Corinthians :6 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Just because someone would not call something good does not make it evil. It is unfortunate, it is unhappy, but it is not evil.

If you are not your own then you are owned by a slave owner. Is that what your God is?
If so, are you advocating slavery?

Shall we have a thumping war?

LDS Christians disagree. They believe that they themselves can become gods, in effect. Plus they have one up on ancient Christians, having had more recent counsel with JC.

Take out fantasy, miracles and magic and just read the words and tell us what this mean to you?

Who gave Satan the power to deceive us and why?

Regards

rather questionable isn't it, since the God of the big three claim that he is all powerfull and all knowing.Surely he would have destroyed all evil at the first.

Really? And what of free will?

I see. So a hurricane is evil, by your definition. An earthquake is evil. Since we are all destined to die, life itself is evil. An interesting perspective. Of course, it makes the word "evil" essentially meaningless.

Of course, if I needed to tell you that then there was little point in doing so.

What about free will?

Tell us what happened the first time A & E showed they were autonomous and did their will instead of God's by eating of the tree of knowledge?

Did God murder them by neglect by forcibly keeping them from the tree of life?

Yes he did.

It's written that way. I did nothing but step in the middle of your agenda with the truth. That isn't the scripture Jesus was referring to. The scripture Jesus was referring to was Psalm 82:6
