[QUOTE="BobNOMAAMRooneyNUMBER2:52493"]Kalopsia said:[QUOTE] it is said that God is Omniscient and Omnipotent, all knowing and all powerful. now that's ALL knowing and ALL powerful. meaning there is nothing he doesn't know, and there is nothing he cannot do. so think about this. if god knows what the future is, then he cannot change the future. the future is out of god's control. if he could change the future, then he simply has an idea of the what the future could be, which any mere mortal could do. so basically, not even god can be both omniscient and omnipotent. Also, if god does know what the future holds, why did he even bother creating mankind? he could see what a failed experiment we would become. he already knew of WW2, 9/11, ect. well before he even created us. if he "loves" us so much, why would he have created us to put us through that kind of suffering and chaos? [/QUOTE] How can that prove that God cannot change the future? Every event throughout history has served a purpose in God's plan and an omniscient being would know every possible outcome to every event throughout time as soon as it came to being. Why do bad things happen? Because without those bad things mankind would not have free will and man would not be a complete being. It would be akin to my parents locking me in a room and attending K-Grad School for me. I would never experience pain but I would be deprived of any semblance of a life, I would be and have nothing. Even Camus' Mersault supports the importance of life experience, with his declaration that even a man who has lived only one day on this earth would have enough memories to last a 100 years, and Mersualt's soliloquy in the final chapter where he denies that he wished to alter any major aspects of his life. As for punishment of free will, I do not think of Hell as a punishment, it is not as if God is breaking his promise with man. A soul in Hell is still in God's kingdom, still exists, and can still think which is better than nothing. To me Hell is like a remedial class, you go there to learn things you should have known while you were alive. (I'm not a hardcore Christian or anything, I just mean things like basic decency and knowing not to murder people) When you know these things you can move on up. [/QUOTE]
