That's what you think.
JBird · F
@GodSpeed63 I am sorry to burst your bubble but your imaginary friend is definitely not my master. I am pretty much in control with my life.

@JBird you must be very young!

@JBird
You are in control of little things, like if you love or hate, forgive or retaliate, eat cereal or eggs for breakfast, and if you get an education or where you live, but God can put a stop right now to any of it!
JBird · F
@Carazaa it's not God. It's life. It's mere chance of coincidences.

I had bad things in my life. No God or any superpower ever helped me. It was only me and my guts
Carazaa · F
@JBird Nope, there you are wrong! Jesus says [b]You can do nothing without me”[/b]
JBird · F
@Carazaa well, I did [i] without any God[/i]
JBird · F
@Carazaa if you needed God for your life, that's your choice. I didn't have to.
Carazaa · F
@JBird you are simply not aware that God is in control of your life!
JBird · F
@Carazaa God is only in control of people who believe in them.
Carazaa · F
@JBird Nope! God is in control of everything but he decides what he responds to and if we are not saved he doesn’t hear our prayers and you’re on your own to a certain extent but he is still in control of your destiny!

@Carazaa In control? So you admit the 'free will' argument is a ruse then?

@MasterLee Things aren’t black and white! Yes, to an extent!

@Carazaa please explain the image I sent

@Carazaa that doesn't make sense because if he really controls everything, why are there atheists?

Even people who are saved and pray for God still have same outcomes as those who don't

@MasterLee

So this chart makes assumptions about God “if there is a God than he would destroy evil and Satan! “If he doesn’t then God does not exist”” if evil exists then God is not powerful” “ If God does allows evil he is not good” if he doesn’t know about things he is not all powerful”


But when we read the Bible God explains that he will destroy Satan and all evil 🙂 But he uses Satan right now for his own purposes! People refuse to listen to truth so he will give them a lie and Satan will gladly volunteer to be an “angel of light” You want a god that tells you to satisfy your flesh and that you are not sinning sure he will tell you a lie but the end of that is death God says!

Read Romans 8 There God says “ I create blessings and I create evil, I do ALL these things! So God is not a computer that there is a yes or a no answer!He draws whom he wishes to himself and he saves whom
He chooses to save! How does he? Who knows! He says he doesn’t owe us an explanation! That is a choice before the foundation of the world he says.

We can beg God for forgiveness and if he chooses he will save us! Our brain wants to put him in a box but He is bigger than our brains, He made the universe! He does ALL things for his Glory! He tells us the truth and wants to show us that we are lost, we are sinners! He wants to show us that he wants to save us! Jesus came to save us from ourselves! This whole world is going to be destroyed by fire and he told us the signs of the end!

Jesus told us 2000 years ago what would happen in the last generation! And no they haven’t happened before!
1. Computers have NOT been proclaiming the gospel until this generation, letters had to go by pony express or boat
2. transportation has not been like it is until now. My grandpa used a horse and wagon when he was little, and it took months for any traveler to go around the world, now the airplanes go anywhere in a day,
3. The Bible was not mocked everywhere like today,
4. The sexual perversion is accepted like never before.
5. Iniquity is abounding and mans hearts are cold
6. Israel has their own land like they haven’t had for 2000 years as Matt, Daniel, Ezekiel, Luke, Revelations and many other books in the Bible says will happen in the last days!

So we can trust God for the future! He is preparing heaven for those who love him!

“No ears have heard, no eyes have seen, what God has prepared for those who love him”

@JBird No people who love Jesus and follow him are all blessed!

JBird, know what you're talking about before you post, please. God answers my prayers all the time in ways I do not expect. Real faith is knowing that Yahweh can do the impossible and trusting He'll do what's right. He hears the prayers of every sinner who comes to their knees and repent of their sins.

But that didn't stop them from having bad luck. I am not a Christian, but I am happy with my life. So does many others.

Because, those are skeptics who are dead in the ground under their headstones. Yes, God is in control or else mankind would've killed itself off long ago. Even though He's in control, Yahweh uses wisdom on when He can interfere and when He cannot. He will not force His will on anyone but still cares for them.

@GodSpeed63 I never prayed but things I wanted happened to me. Okay, if God answered all your prayers, ask God to stop Covid virus spreading. Go on. Ask him to stop people from going hunger in places.

Yes God can do the impossible! I have seen it many times! 🙏💖🕊️

@JBird Jesus said there would be plagues! He is showing his people the prophesies coming true and that he is coming back soon and giving people a chance to repent! Have you repented?
