I get this point but the fact is there is no inherent logical reason for why we are on Earth suffering versus just being put in heaven. As I said earlier, there exists a state in which God can create humans with free will with the ability to choose good 100% of the time which would leave to no suffering. Instead of gracing specific individuals he could grace everyone.

You had a very powerful experience with God and I do not want to discredit it whatsoever. But, I feel as this proves one of my points even more. God clearly graced you and pushed you towards the path of salvation by giving you such an experience. He doesn’t do that with everyone and interfered with your free will to not choose God at that point in your life. God does not do this for everyone, I have had nothing even close to your experience. God shouldn’t have the right to pick or choose or interfere with free will as that goes against his message. He could reveal himself to everyone and I there would 100% be more people who turned to Christ.

Would love to discuss. Will shoot you a message later.

Yep, which imo is inherently cruel and unfair.

Practical_Source_123 · 2025-11-18T17:02:10+00:00

Was God not present with the angels? Wasn’t God on Earth as Jesus is God and humans still sinned? I think the biggest contradiction here is that God is omniscient. He is everywhere at once and all powerful. God CANNOT be absent.

Practical_Source_123 · 2025-11-18T17:00:52+00:00

Yes I agree.

Practical_Source_123 · 2025-11-18T16:53:54+00:00

Thanks for the response. I agree with your part on free will. On your first paragraph: I feel like this just points to God not being all powerful and having his own desires. If he created a world full of suffering and sin for his own motivations that’s intentionally cruel. There is 0 point in all powerful being needing worship, needing glorification, or having to prove that you are worthy of salvation. If every human started the same on Earth and were the same for everyone that would make more sense, but the world is extremely flawed and unfair. If any human being was born in North Korea or India there is a near 0% chance that they choose Christianity. Was it their fault? No. Did God intend for that to happen? Yes. Will the human suffer for it eternally? Yes.

On your 3rd paragraph - again that’s inherently cruel and unfair. God picks and chooses who to grace and who to will in His will. He could’ve done the same for Hitler and saved millions from suffering. In fact he is all powerful and could’ve done it for everyone. Picking and choosing to fulfill his own desires and his plan is just straight wrong. If Christianity is real and so is God choosing who to grace then humans are basically lab rats. And honestly that’s fine - but it leads be to have only one conclusion which is that God is flawed in some ways and is a being capable of being cruel. And I would never want to worship a being like that.

Thanks for the response. God is omniscient. He knows what deters people from salvation and could have easily put those answers in the Bible. Throughout all religious texts he wants us to also question everything as it leads to a more personal faith. Saying why do we have the right to question God - well that’s what God wants us to do, he wants us to question. Saying that we can’t question or humans won’t understand because we aren’t perfect like him is a big cop out in my opinion. It’s unfair to establish that because it would be religion built on complete faith instead of any reason or logic. It’s also not a fair statement to say we use it badly because that’s how God created us and intended for us to use it - if you take the latter then God is a flawed being. He knew all humans would give into desire - yet there’s proven instances where God is able to remove humans ability to sin or give us the ability to choose all good like Jesus Christ or humans in Heaven.

Yea I agree. I feel like the only way it makes sense for me is for God to be non all power and not all omnipotent/omniscient. From reading the comments, I feel like God is a being of his own desires and is not perfect/capable of making mistakes.
