God is evil if He has miracles and does not use them.
Many think that God can work miracles. Looking about the world today many see evil happening everywhere. Children starving as the highest evil, all of us sinning as a lower evil. I suggest that if a miracle working God is in existence and does nothing then He is acting in an immoral way. He should not be followed. Debate. Is God moral or immoral for allowing the world to just go along in evil? RegardsDL

God does not have any knowledge that is not available.
Yes, the judge should always be questioned. Especially one, like the Biblical one, that breaks his own laws. Like killing. The flood. RegardsDL

Nice.
I am often chastized for saying genocide is good because God uses it. God or any one else using genocide is evil. RegardsDL

Worthy judgments like the genocide of the flood?If then, why not now? His precedent of interfering is well known. RegardsDL

To my knowledge, there are no miracles. Never saw one.
If God is not omnipotent then is He God? That label is omni everything. RegardsDL

When was the last time you saw God deal out justice?
I never have. In religion, there is no evidence. RegardsDL

Would the fact that He chose to give His miracles to somebody else still make Him immoral? That would depend on the miracle. If He improves my car while allowing another to starve then yes that would be immoral on both our parts, if I had the power to refuse. RegardsDL

10-27-2008 06:09 PM Reply to: Message 16 by Greatest I am 10-27-2008 04:59 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you cannot support your assertion that evil is not being dealt with by God, I humbly request you provide an explanation concerning how a God may only be deemed moral and benevolent when and if He chooses to implement supernatural miracles to this end, as opposed to other lures in His tackle box, such as natural processes, etc.. Evil is not being dealt with because our children still die needlessly of starvation. This has been an ongoing issue for 2-3000 yrs. It seems our natural process has stalled. Seeing this, if God can do something and does not then He is immoral and does not deserve our fellowship. If He wants to be important to us then we must be important to Him. RegardsDL

If not us then who. God is absent and cannot advise. To think He advises with death and not words is a strech of your thoughts.
As to numbers, the population grows daily by many. Many more than starve. If God wanted to impact our numbers then it would be more humane to decrease our ability to reproduce, not leave it as is and allow children to starve. Is that not a better way. RegardsDL

Food for a starving child is not quite -a little thing- but thanks for the comments.

Oh I give man all the blame. my God does not do miracles so I cannot blame Him.
As to my statement in the OP, a miracle working God could as you say, do even better by teaching the parents of the starving. If He can do miracles and does not teach them then He is just as immoral. RegardsDL

rueh
You are right, miracles are not what God uses to help man. Scripture shows that most of the time that He uses miracles, it is to kill us. RegardsDL |
