How dare she scold you and punish you so that you can gain the wisdom and insight to discern what is good and what is evil. Atheist.your mom is so cruel for smacking you on the hand the first time you did something wrong. Okay, using this atheist's " logical" thinking -ĭoesn't it mean that every single parent who has ever scolded, spanked, or punished their young child for doing something wrong, before that child knew it was wrong - is a wicked evil person? Mr. We would have been like robots, forced to love God even though we could never truly understand love, for we never would have understood God's good, without witnessing the Devil's evil, which brings us to the next question Ģ.)Since Adam and Eve didn’t know right from wrong before eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, why did God then punish them for something they didn’t understand they were doing? Had the " tree" of knowledge never been consumed, how ignorant would we have been to everything? The Devil even toyed with Adam and Eve by making it seems as if God was hiding something from us God wasn't hiding anything, God wanted us to gain the knowledge so we could be made into wholesome beings. Evil cannot be identified without Good, and Good cannot be understood without evil.
Take a look at life on Earth my roommate is an Atheist, and she even noticed that the Earth consist of two outstanding forces Good and Evil. But why did God intend for us to consume the fruits of good and evil? Some may think God cruel, but actually God began his perfecting of his creations the moment we, ( Adam and Eve represent the sinners on Earth metaphorically,) sinned. God was in control of this entire enfolding of events and still is. God knew way ahead of time that they would eat of it God knew the Devil would tempt them.God created the Devil. However, this is not a matter of freewill God intended for Adam and Eve to eat from the tree, or else it would have never been placed in the garden. What God gave Adam and Eve, was a commandment - a simple one, do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil they were even warned by God, what would happen if they ate of the tree anyway, and that was death.īoth Adam and Eve knew the consequences beforehand, and had the freedom of will to obey or disobey. Freewill was actually already inherently given after the creation Adam and Eve were not puppets or manipulated they freely did as they wished in the Garden of Eden. " but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will surely die."Ī common response is that God placed the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden, to give mankind freewill. It's nothing new except what has been revealed in it -ġ.) Why would God place a forbidden tree in the garden so close to his innocent creation and allow Satan to tempt them into eating from it, all the while looking on without doing a thing to prevent it? God is not MIA, and left one incredible way for us to discern God's established truth, from the falsehood that has been brought on.Ītheist or non - believers, are always asking for some physical proof of God well God left physical proof - you can touch it, see it.even eat it if you want. Looking at the modern Christian world, it does seem like God is MIA, as no one can confidently identify the true path to God, amongst the millions of different trails that have been carved by mankind's established traditions. The assumption that has been made, is that God left us completely abandoned, without logic or an accurate path to salvation.
Quiztones to never ask christians how to#
In my church right now, we are learning how to defend our faith, because in doing so, it will help younger / newer members to get a deeper understanding and " hold onto their crown," as the Bible states it.
The goal of these questions is to cause one to doubt God, and to put Christians on the spot for being " illogical," for our seemingly fallible faith. Actually, this is the fuel atheist use in their rebuttles to Christianity, by exposing the lingering falsehoods that have poisoned Christianity after the death of the last apostle. To just settle for " just believe," seems to make us give in to whatever false teaching may come our way. I believe that this is vital for the spiritual situation we are facing today that is, tons of false prophets, different teachings, and different Biblical interpretations. "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
