Does God interact in the world?

[OddBeMe]

Get your story straight. He either interacts and thus can be measured... or doesn't.

So its free will but God answers prayers?

God answers prayers

He doesn't

[lightbulb27]

I'd say yes absolutely. humans and animals are little energy beings... we are beings with electrical energy spinning around...

God is energy, in essence, resonance. But the trouble is... our hearts are far from God, even mine much of my life. When it is in tune, I respond in much better way. To me... this is the summation of what the Bible is saying and so many other spiritual beliefs that do the same. Even those not based on Christ do this. But what then is the energy, what word defines the "God of all"... I am? Shame... fear... control? nah... that wouldn't be my view of God. Read what Jesus said and see if makes sense when you view it from an emotional viewpoint. You'll have to look through a lense distorted by the world... but see if you can see "God" through Jesus of Nazareth.

God is working through people in the world now, changing hearts, saving souls. But it's a fallen world and all we see is the misery, and it propatats fast.

Some prayers go unanswered... who knows why.

The inverse of this is... lets assume God is energy and exists. How could God NOT interact in the world... if the energy permeats.

The other scenario is... there is no God. That to me, makes no sense... How could there be no source for everything and it doesn't resonate throughout? If want to believe that, go ahead, but makes no sense to me.

Checking bible..."slaves obey your masters, even the cruel ones." Yikes.

[lightbulb27]

some of it is hard pill to swollow. But Jesus did not obey the Pharasees and Saducees, so if they are not master, then tell them they are white washed tombs and move on?

He does answer prayers you praying means you used your free will to ask God for help or guidance, which is what God wants from people. he gave you the free will with hopes that you use that free will to involve him into your life, when you choose to accept Christ and the holy Spirit into your life you accept him in your life and God works on your life, God interacts with the world and peoples lives when those people accept him and open that door, God allows things to happen which many confuse for God making it happen, most of the confusion is that God does all these bad things, he doesn't do it but he allows it and the reason he does that is cause he gave us free will, when people use that free will to do bad, it leads to bad results but free will only balances between good or bad, free will doesn't exist if there's no good or bad, even if there was, it still wouldn't be free will if you weren't physically able to do either one. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

Please reread what you wrote and explain all the contradictions in it

[ChicoFromThe305]

There is none, if I programmed an AI and gave it the ability to think for itself and it decides to ask for my help in its virtual life and I do help the AI that doesn't take away the AIs ability of free will because the AI made the choice to ask me for my help, the contradiction would be if the AI didn't want anything to do with me and I still manipulate it's environment even when it chose to not believe in me or involve me in its life, at that point the AI wouldn't have the free will to chose cause I forced myself into it's life even when it chose to reject me, that's not the case here tho.

God wanting to be in your life doesn't contradict free will at all because he doesn't involve himself in your life if you choose to reject him, by allowing him you already used your free will to make a choice and God helping is only a result of that choice.

You're confused.

We each live our own lives and have our own experiences regardless of science and logic. You only need pick up a newspaper to see that logic and science are easily defied by people doing the stupidest shit.

But the world still turns and the relevant people are who it turns for. When there is more "chaff than wheat" is when God will likely pull the plug.

As for "free will" it's a Christian theological concept, not shared by other faiths.

[Sevenpointfive]

God is the concept of the Jew. i do not believe anything that they say

[OddBeMe]

Why are they so powerful to you?

[Sevenpointfive]

they aren't. but they are very conniving and i can respect that. but people less intelligent than me have given them leeway into a higher society that burdens me. it complicates the order of the structure of my society as opposed to yours. i don't think we need you and stupid people think we do.

that doesn't mean anything bad. i don't want you gone. but you are doing bad things. and people hate you on a global scale.

[Juxtapose]

It's all made up bullshit.

[Dargil]

To advance His plan, Yes.

[OddBeMe]

What is his plan? Cuz... we could sure use some guidance

[Dargil]

Rare as it is, we agree.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Maybe

[Notherndude84]

No, unless you want to believe mentally unstable

[msc545]

[Maybe_Maybe_not]
