I don't care about wealth, fame, or political power. I just want to free people from the grasp of the satanic system and build a world, even if it is only digital for now, where that is possible.
The satanic system wants us all stuck in fear, hopeless, and dead. It's all of us vs the Satanic literal demons in power. We have to get people to realize this fact. They want us infighting with one another instead of focusing on THEM. Look at the unity of the Canadian Truckers. THAT is what THEY fear. Unity. No more brother wars! We are in this together.
I’m right there with ya! Good post! BTTT
A way to control people by scaring the living daylights out of those who refuse to do right? Like wearing a mask or getting an untested "vaccine"? Just askin'.
Why would God create such imperfect creatures who’s fate is to be eternally damned?
Better question. He didn’t create them for that purpose. He created them for a different purpose. Do you know what that purpose is?
Hard to fathom that purpose given as you point out man’s limited and incomplete perspective. Yet from that perspective if an entity has fore knowledge of the consequences of a creation and yet goes ahead to make that creation, it begs the question: Why? For instance Fauci and Collins were fully aware of the danger of gain of function research on coronaviruses. Yet as officials of the US government ,they sanctioned such research at a Chinese biological weapons lab. Are they and the US government at least partly responsible for this pandemic? Is it sacrilegious to ask is God responsible for Hitler? Or is simply best to accept the premise that God exists, God is unknowable and what happens is consistent with His will and beyond our understanding. Such a conclusion is both humbling and disconcerting.
Go to the better question. Why did God create man?
He clearly tells us, though we may not like the answer from man’s perspective.
God is not unknowable, he tells us many things about him, but not everything.
Again, questions are good but some are better than others. But if we want to know God’s answers, we need to read His Word, not our own understanding.
Here are some big questions:
What are we saved from?
Who rules over hell? (it is not what we learned in the cartoons)
“such a conclusion is both humbling and disconcerting” is a valid view. The humbling should stay, the disconcerting is a natural human view, and changes as we get higher ground.
From your catechism days, “what is the chief end of man”?

Is it sacrilegious to ask is God responsible for Hitler?
I can think of one good situation from all that. Corrie Ten Boom.
Why did God ordain all the evil against Israel? So that they would repent and turn to him again?
Jesus speaks to the situation here?
Luk 13:1 About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple.
Luk 13:2 “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered?
Luk 13:3 Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God.
Luk 13:4 And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”
Maybe Private Henry Tandey is to blame for Hitler?
Our Great Christ Jesues vs. Ara Pacis
Or is simply best to accept the premise that God exists, God is unknowable and what happens is consistent with His will and beyond our understanding?
What does God want?
After all my exploration in God’s Word, if you distill it down, it appears God wants a deep personal relationship with me. The creator of the universe desires a relationship with me. Why, I have no understanding.
Now, a proper answer should lead to another question. Do I want a deep abiding relationship with him?
It is important to note the God is in charge of this relationship not me. He chose me, I did not choose him.
Those that think they initiated a relationship with God and are in control, are headed for trouble
Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
Mat 7:23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness
Keep asking questions and run away from those who only have answers....................................
I’ve noticed allot of anti-Jew content on Gab. What’s up with that?
>>It kind of goes along with “Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?” and “Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people?”<<
>>I’ve never heard a completely satisfactory answer<<
This is my understanding. I don’t claim it is THE understanding, just seems to make sense.
God created the earth and all that’s in it. He then gave it over to man. Under lords if you will. Man was in perfect relationship with his creator...until the fall.
When man AND woman chose “free will” to disobey God and the fall from righteousness began, the keys to creation was handed over to satan. Not understanding all that that entails, it explains passages describing satan as the prince of the power of the air. Being the god of this world.
In essence, satan is in control of the events on earth.
a freespeech forum means won’t agree with all things posted.
I have wondered if some of that is from the alphabet gov groups trying to cause trouble.
Good point
“Free will” is not absolute.
**********************************
And you base this on?
We make it a better place by making “good” decisions. Thanks to Adam and Eve, we now have that power.
********************************************************
I may be misunderstanding this, but are you stating their decisions and what they did for mankind was good?
Why would God create such imperfect creatures who’s fate is to be eternally damned?
*********************************************************
You left out the question of why God who became man made it quite clear that whatever our enemies do to us we must turn the other cheek and forgive as many times as needed.
This same God in turn refuses to do what He commands us to do and bans all his enemies to “Eternal” flames refusing to forgive.
This is something you can’t answer on a thread.
The answer lies in the early teachings of the church fathers before the bastardization of Christianity from the 4th century on.
We are taught to reduce God to what we are able to understand and comprehend. Good luck with that
Now when the Hollywood hunk, pretty boy, rebelled he drew with him a third of the ‘sons of God’.. Revelation 12 lays out the history and future prophecy.
This heaven/earth age which is ‘now’, allows every soul created to take this flesh journey…. Not all souls will take this ‘flesh’ journey, John 3 is Christ explaining the first requirement to see the kingdom of God is to be born from above. The book of Jude describes those that refused, they are not named, but referred to as ‘fallen angels’.
Isaiah and Ezekiel describe the rise and fall of Satan… Satan is the only named entity that has already been judged to death…. Satan decided he was God, look what he offered Christ, if Christ would bend a knee to him. Some call this the temptation of Christ, Christ was not the least bit tempted.. rather this was a tutorial for the children in the methods and means of the great deceiver.
Oh, by the way, Satan is allowed to role play one big role… he gets tossed out of heaven to play Like he is Jesus…. Come bend a knee to the fake, wonder how many will fall for his deception again?
“Free will” is not absolute.
**********************************
And you base this on?
God’s perspective or yours. Choose.

Exactly what I assumed.
God created Satan, or Lucifer, the Star of the Morning.
Don't forget that God has omniscience. He knows everything without limit.
Why would he allow Satan to corrupt and ruin mankind who He loves and created?
This is Plan A. There is no Plan B. Without evil, there would be no choice. Without choice there is no Love. God created us to Love Him.
