The First Questions In The Bible

Ringo: Why?What are we looking for?And what were we questioning?Ringo:Why would a human being think of doing something that He (or she) doesn't need or want to think about in the first place (ie. what your brother tastes like skined and fried in oil)?For arguments sake, if humanity was in fact created good by God's influence... then how would we explain our badness unless there was some other influencing factor other than God?

Ringo:So we (the thinker) have to choose between the angel whispering in one ear, and the devil in the other?Or do we create or own thoughts?

Archer:You're quite right.And as a species, we've done well with our freedom haven't we?As I said, you're quite right... He created the possibility of hell. But God didn't create it, a demigod did.You and CK act as though that has any impact on God's sovereignty at all... that's not the case. It only means that God is very secure with Himself. In the end of time (when the game is actually won or lost) God will show that He is in control. He will seperate heaven from hell, and this universe will be restored.In the mean time, he allows you to listen to whichever spirits you want to listen to.You're responsible for your own choices, unless you give Him back, His responsibility as God of your life.It's the same plot as in 'Lord of the Rings'... just when the band of evildoers thinks they have won... in comes the glorious reality to crush the rebellion once and for all.Edited by Rob, : No reason given.

Archer: Very funny...You were the one drawing the parralels. Did you want to address the concepts, or do you wish to haggle over the names we give them?

Iceage: The Bible...I stand corected.

Archer: What in the world are you talking about?You'll not find a more vociferous antagonist against genocide than God.He will eradicate it. But that's not genocide, it's justice!And we will all get it, because we all deserve it. That is unless you find some way to escape it's clutches.What is your question?

Ringo: I agree...no clever devil would show himself as a devil (though there are the occasional Beavis and Buttheads among us).2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.Ringo:No argument here...
