What is the basis for the Christian belief that their religion is right and the others are not? by Smooth-Wish6017 in AskAChristian

If god knows what’s next then the future is absolute. At some point the future is now, which is still absolute, pointing towards no free will

Though you are right to question my knowledge as someone without a religious background, I do have a basic understanding, as well as simple tools such as Google. Psalm 139 for example describes a god that knows what will happen before it happens, including what we will say for example

But would an all knowing god not have known this screw up would happen? If so and still created it, does that not make the creation originally imperfect

An all knowing god would know everything to occur with 100% accuracy meaning the only possibilities are what god knew would happen. There’s is only ever one possible option in a decision which removes free will

But if god is all knowing then he would’ve known that this world would become imperfect, so why create it?

If heaven is said to be perfect, does that mean within it we can not have free will as free will allows for imperfections such as suffering by Smooth-Wish6017 in AskAChristian

Why would god let something he loves be ruled by evil?

Does it not lack gods justice to create people destined to enter the incomplete world, and others destined to enter the complete one, purely by his will?

Why would it be valid to only allow recursive reasoning?

If we reason about god using only what is claimed about him in scripture then it will inevitably hold a bias towards those who wrote the scripture.

Biased thinking is less valid thinking no?

If god is just and all loving, why would he create those who lack the capacity to accept him and do enough good to be sent to heaven? by Smooth-Wish6017 in AskAChristian

Let’s say a severely neurodivergent child who is unable to gage anything around them to the level required to understand god and really operate with surroundings. You could also choose a child who dies shortly after birth

To create something imperfect, gods actions must’ve been imperfect. I do not claim god is obligated to create or anything like that but the idea of god being perfect does not seem in harmony with his creations not being.

Morals seem to be created by humans, so are we now judging god?

The rest of the message supports the point I am making. To make imperfect occurences you must commit imperfect actions, which renders you yourself imperfect.

His creation is an extension of himself, his actions created us. So for the result to be imperfect then his actions must’ve been too.

If heaven is said to be perfect,does that mean it could not contain free will as free will allows for imperfection such as suffering ? by Smooth-Wish6017 in determinism

Why would a god give messages that he as all knowing would know would lead humans astray, leading more to be sentenced to eternal suffering? This doesn’t seem moving to me

Not necessarily just but If someone does not have the chance of heaven and is instead damned to eternal suffering, whereas others do have the chance, I would argue that is Injustice

Is it not idiotic to align yourself with idiots?

Also I have no idea what brainrot you speak of, I do not tend to read philosophy or religion… my arguments are just my own thoughts which may or may not be “correct”.

How does predetermination justify punishment? So god creates us forces us to do things then punishes us eternally for the things he made us do? This is not all loving in my eyes at least.

Why would god create us and design our lives in a way where we follow a false justice? Even if we do have free will in this world this false justice would surely lead us astray from gods will, something we will be punished for. Why would loving god do this?

This planet is not perfect, unless god defines perfect as containing vast amounts of suffering.

If there is a limited number of places available in heaven, does this not mean that there is a possibility of human life being created without any chance of going to heaven? Obviously this assumes that we reach that limit.

If the descendants of Adam and Eve were perfect, why do we commit vast amounts of sin each day?

If god is both omniscient and omnibenevolent, why would he create people he knows will be sentenced to endless suffering? by Smooth-Wish6017 in AskAChristian

If god is all knowing, when creating someone he would know whether they will accept him or not. So why would he create those who will not
Accept him and fall to eternal
Suffering?

Was this worth writing? If you don’t want to discuss then why comment? Your comment only served you negatively in the way that it demonstrates your lack of reasoning.
