If he is all-powerful and all-seeing, he must already know which of us will pass his tests and fail, the winners and the losers. Why are we playing this game, why doesn't he just move all the winners to heaven now and shut down the maze? If he as powerful as the christians says, he could just summon all of the "winners" who have and will exist to Heaven. The only reason i can come up with is that he likes to fuck with our heads. Only an evil or mad God would act in such a fashion
Well, he says he will seperate the wheat from the chaff. Don't forget, God made the universe for HIS reasons, just because we sin, doesn't mean God should act immediately. Don't forget,
HE IS GOD, therefore he will act when he chooses to act. Since when does his all-powerfulness negate what he chooses to do? Is he not the Lord to choose what he will?
If one human thinks he should do
this and another thinks he should do
that, which should he do? This or that? Or, would he obey the whims of mere mankind?
Ofcourse, f***ing with us, is the only reason
you can come up with.
God might think that he'll give a lot of time, so that the Gospel is preached throughout the world so that the "losers" can become winners.
If God is all powerful and all-seeing, how does it follow that he should do what you say he should do, you being far from all-powerful etc? Should not your place be to find out what his will is rather than your own?
