Zone1 Another question to ponder

[The Sage of Main Street]

If you obey eventually the mysteries will become clear to you.

It's easier to sin all I want, then buy indulgences to wipe the slate clean.

There is nothing "natural" about life, I can assure you.



Its time to grow the hell up!

Shows Show Only the Shallow

Confirmation bias. Cells fall into many random configurations, some of which have the shape to funnel the cells needed to form life and continue from there to forms higher life forms.

Commenting on Bladerunner in a Netrix movie-review parrot cage, no one had the originality to suggest that the replicants may actually be created human beings. The slow and obviously not-divine natural process could have created us the way Rachel was created.

Domination Through Damnation

Who gets my donation, so I can buy my way out of this punishment?

There is no salvation for you until you repent of this attitude. This is why God isn't in your life.
All that is required is REPENTANCE. Right now, you're at war with God.

"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be"

Why did god make a 600 year old man build the ark, instead of just popping one into existence, like he did everything else?
I get its about testing loyalty and obedience and such, or so I have seen explained. But then another question arises.
If god is omniscient, he didnt need to test Noah. He would have already known.

The reason why folk are confused about what God should be doing, is because they believe God should be doing what they think he should be doing.

Why did god make a 600 year old man build the ark,

500-year-old men lacked the experience and maturity.

You have this life, however many years He allows you. Anything else is a GIFT. Right now, you have all you can expect

Created Man has been given "Free Choice", in Everything.

Man can choose between the Absolutes of what GOD Almighty has set, & that which Satan stands for.

It's hard to Comprehend, but, The Almighty GOD, being the First & The Last, and Knowing the Beginning of Time, and the Future,... He Knows what the individual Human Being will/ will not do., where Mankind, can, & has, changed it's Beliefs while declaring that it would never change.

It "Boils down to" The Almighty YAH, offering His Way to Mankind, & even instructing many of those who do Believe in Him, in what to do, that will contribute to this almost 6000 year old "Game of Biblical Chess".

We choose, between One of the players in the "Monumental Game of Biblical Chess".

YAHWEH, wants those who are Absolutely Willing, to Follow, & Worship Him, and not some type of Creation that is incapable of "Free Thought".

He Knows what the individual Human Being will/ will not do

I don't know this. Neither do you. He may have the ability, but I don't know that He is that intimately involved in the lives of the unsaved

Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Yeah, they added a few details after ripping the story off from Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia is where the ark was built.

Are you Catholic?

 

[Concerned American]

600 years was not that uncommon back then.


God has never just "popped" anything into existence. Besides, the point was for man to learn--- what would Noah have learned from God just gifting him an arc out of the clear blue?



Because Noah needed to test himself. Man builds strength through adversity.
Just look at any welfare program to see what you get when you give stuff away.

God also blessed us with free will.
