God is love just don’t ask for the receipts

He’s all powerful except for whenever

How many Jesus, the Living Embodiment of YHWH, does it take to change a lightbulb

    Theologically, the answer is that God the creator gave us the world and free will. We built this rolling disaster of corruption and self destruction by handing control of the world over to evil people.

    The more practical answer is that people using God to advance evil agendas have drowned out honest discussions of spirituality and religion, especially in the online world.

        Not at all. Jesus was all about people helping other people. God interfering in the affairs of man would impede their free will, but people helping people would be them exercising their free will.

          That doesn’t make sense.

          If i choose to murder someone i am impeding their free will.

          If god chooses to save someone from murder, then it impedes the free will of the murderer.

          Why is only one of those a problem?

            It’s like the difference between the government punishing you for free speech and a Lemmy mod banning you.
