Please help me compile a list of the excuses apologists use to defend Gods inactivity.
Hes giving you time to repent.
Hes allowing time to prove a point.
Earth is just a testing ground.
Hes sorting out the good and the bad?
Beginning to sound like a Monty Python sketch isnt it. Please feel free to add more
He has very good reasons, but as he is an all-powerful spirit and supremely intelligent compared to us mere humans, our feeble minds cannot fully comprehend those reasons and so if we doubt that he is doing the right thing by planet Earth it is purely because of our inherent imperfection, not because he can't be arsed.
That parrot is dead
No hes just sleeping
If he's sleeping, then I'll wake him up (yelling into the cage).
See he moved.
No you hit the cage.
Hes pining for the Fiords.
The lord works in mysterious ways.
I think the Wt believes that God allows evil to continue in order to prove to mankind that they cannot provide a government that can rival his.Also that he is not inactive but is actively directing his organization at this time in a spiritual way.
Wonder if we could compile a list of the excuses given to defend men's inactivity?
Since there is a God and He doesn't do anything to prevent evil, why should I?
Since there isn't a God, what am I doing to alleviate suffering in the world?
If they want what I have, let them work for it.
They don't deserve it.
It's mine, all mine. The heck with the rest of the world.
Any others?
you Lot don't deserve me!
"I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." - Almighty God of the Bible (at Gen. 6:7)
Question: How come I'm so much better than the cruel Old Testament Monstrosity, but fall so short of what I like to think are the logical fruits (not the actual ones, which are sour indeed) of what are deemed to be the teachings of someone called Yeshu? Strange book, the Bible. Meant for those who like to put clothes on Emperors.
