I can do nothing more than suggestion Lee Strobel's Case for Christ regarding this subject
His work has just been...magnificent
it is indeed
so what is god's end goal?
why would he cause so much suffering?
Oh dear
He said it
He said the thing :(
if everyone can be given everything then why
no?
Dont make me write an essay 😭
Jacob you seem to have more energy I'll hope you write the right thing
because you cannot have one socratic opposute without another
no happiness without pain
etc
@Simpnautica I think you could really benefit from going to an Alpha Course, its a event Churches hold to allow non Christians to ask those really hard questions in a safe space
okay
I'm gonna have to right an essay
Gimme ten moments
no need to
IM DOING IT
SHH
**At The Beginning**
At the Beginning there was utopia, known as *Eden*. In Eden, Adam and Eve (or just the earliest Humans, depending on your view of Genesis) and their posterity lived in absolute sinlessness. God was ever present on Earth, and men tilled the earth with an angelic host on their backs. No pain was felt, no tear was wept.
**The Fall**
This was, however, until Satan came as the Serpent Deceiver and filled Man's head with lies and mistrust of God. The Apple was ate, and Mankind's loyalty to God and sinlessness - marked by absolutely limitless submission to the One - was ended. God cannot coexist with Dark, for He is Light and pure righteousness. So, He could not coexist with a sinful World. God retracted to Heaven, and the Earth and Mankind was left broken.
**In The Present**
As a result of God's limited presence in our fallen World, the dominion of Satan, and the curse of Sin we are all subject to the woes of Hell, nothing like - of course - what Hell is actually like, however. Pain, sadness, torment, tiredness, we all feel this now as punishment and consequence for betraying God. We will never be free of this on Earth, because full glory can only be felt in the presence of God which is in Heaven, which is why we must be baptized and die before we can know true bliss. This is why our lives will always be hard, but what we must power on, in the name of God.
i didn't betray god though
why should i suffer for something i didn't do
oh dear
chistianity has the morals of socrates whereas Zoroastrianism has the philosphy of aristotle
Socrates was an atheist?
