Does God enjoy toying with and torturing his creations?

Purely for purposes of research, of course.

Gabriel, run for your life!

Gastrich, why did you make the crossposting worse?

Because alt.atheism gets countless new subjects every day; making it
difficult to find older threads.

The free.christians group has less
subjects, so we can find this one much easier.

God consists of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

For

more on the trinity (the triune Godhead) see here:

Wow, what whacky thought process dreamed this up? Well, they had to come
up with something, I guess.

Who was God the fathers wife?

God didn't have a wife. He doesn't have a body.

Hmm, how convenient for your little fable.

Who was Jesus's mother before he was
born of the virgin Mary?

Jesus Christ had no mother before Mary.

If God the Father did not have a wife, how did he father a son?

The Father and Son terms describe their relationship. They and the Holy
Spirit complete the triune Godhead.

OK. Whatever you say, "Dr". I use that term as a joke.

Who is the Holy Ghost? Is he an uncle? What is his function?

He is the 3rd person in the trinity. He has many functions. See
http://www.apologeticsindex.org/t10.html. He teaches, convicts,

intercedes,

comforts, etc.

Dance around, Jason, dance around, it still won't make sense to a sane
person.

If this trinity is all powerful and created the Universe and
everything in it, why did it create such
fallible, errant and grossly imperfect men and earthly catastrophes
and diseases of every
imaginable kind?

The scriptures tell us that the Earth was created without sin. Adam and

Eve

had no sin. They would have lived happily forever on Earth.

Are you like 6 years old?? How could even someone like you swallow such
nonsense? The first people were probably lucky to make 25, diseases have
always been here, the dinos had at least many of the same diseases we
have, probably all of them. Of course, you probably believe A&E saw
dinos...LOL.

When they sinned, sin entered the earth. This began the cycle of

disease,

suffering, and death. It is the reason for all evil.

LOl, I love the ravings of a religious whackaloon! What nonsense.

Why did this supposedly infallible God make these
many serious
mistakes in his creation?

He didn't make mistakes. We did.

That's right, it's "our" fault for "sinning". LOL, and you wonder why
people roll their eyes behind your back? (I GUARANTEE they do!) Maybe
they even do it in front of you..

If God created everything, why did he create sin and punishment for
the sins he created?

He allowed sin because people chose it. He gives laws and punishments

for

sinning against Him.

Nonsense. Whackaloon thinking..illogical and preposterous. A six year
old should know better, I did.

What is his purpose of putting man on earth to suffer from hunger,
diseases and catastrophes and then
usually experience a painful old age and death before being delivered
to an infinitely pleasant and
perpetual heaven?

This is a one-sided characterization of life on Earth. Life on Earth is
much more than this; at least for believers.

Sure, believing in mythical sky-daddies is FUN!!!

Does God enjoy toying with and torturing his creations?

No. God prefers that people get saved and life a successful life.

That's your opinion, sane people differ.

Thanks for your questions. What made you ask them, today?

God bless,
Jason Gastrich

There's irony.

I was saved at age 7.

Between the ages of 16-20, I didn't care about the
things of God and pursued worldliness.

From 20-30, I've been seeking God.

My faith was probably like most Christians until I wrote my full

The Skeptic's Annotated Bible. See http://skepticsannotatedbible.org

As I wrote my rebuttal, I constantly put my faith on the line. If I

find an error that could not be reconciled, it would show that the

in error and not true.

I found reasonable answers to every, alleged Bible error. I have

faith and reasons to believe, now. My faith is far stronger than it

was.
