God, he says, either wishes to take away evils, and is unable; or He is able, and is unwilling; or He is neither willing nor able, or He is both willing and able. If He is willing and is unable, He is feeble, which is not in accordance with the character of God; if He is able and unwilling, He is envious, which is equally at variance with God; if He is neither willing nor able, He is both envious and feeble, and therefore not God; if He is both willing and able, which alone is suitable to God, from what source then are evils? Or why does He not remove them?

There are plenty of non-biased sources that conduct very thorough and fair research on these matters that you could have easily searched for.

It is important that when reading scripture, we constantly say the word "context, context, context."

Funny how from comment to comment you quote the "authority" of the bible when it suits you and then deny it as a defense. Why are you even here? If God doesn't exist your wasting your precious little time arguing about something you care nothing about. You must be the dumbest and ignorant person on the planet. What a sad place to live in between truth and fiction

Your definitely a troll. You have no belief in God so your time here is an effort at absurdity. W/o God NOTHING we choose matters so what is the point of your arguing as if YOU somehow had the truth of which Atheism can NEVER possess. Since you only have a few good years left before you die you should be off enjoying yourself before your surprise party with the Lord

Either way it is a waste of your precious little time!! Your like a man w cancer and you got a couple years left so go do something awesome. Stop wasting your few years left on us we will be fine w/o your "wisdom". Please have fun before you die and turn back into dirt. It is insane that your here honestly. You don't believe in belief so just go away and leave us to our delusions and enjoy yours

No record? It's recorded in the bible right in front of your face. Its the single most evidenced ancient document EVER by miles. It has been consistently proven true archaelogically, historically and spiritually for thousands of years. So you got all the evidence you could ever need to study this particular history. You just find it very convenient to ignore it since its the #1 proof that your full of crap

Read The Case for Christ for the latest evidences from all the major fields and the continuing proof for the validity of the bible as a reliable source of truth, wisdom and fact. TRY a little geez. Its overwhelming amounts of evidence almost boundless.

The Code of Hammurabi. This seven-foot black diorite stele, discovered at Susa and presently located in the Louvre museum, contains 282 engraved laws of Babylonian King Hammurabi (fl. 1750 BC). The common basis for this law code is the lex talionis (“the law of the tooth”), showing that there was a common Semitic law of retribution in the ancient Near East, which is clearly reflected in the Pentateuch. Exodus 21:23–25, for example, reads: “But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot…” (niv).

The Nuzi Tablets. The some 20,000 cuneiform clay tablets discovered at the ruins of Nuzi, east of the Tigris River and datable to c. 1500 BC, reveal institutions, practices, and customs remarkably congruent to those found in Genesis. These tablets include treaties, marriage arrangements, rules regarding inheritance, adoption, and the like.

"Man made laws"...
If you read through the Bible you'll see how "man made laws" screwed things up and we're in contrast to God's laws.

If man followed God's law and did not rape then the law to marry would not be necessary.

Once again the bible is a library of books that records a group of people and there journey through life. it makes no effort to make it all neat and tidy because its real and relevent to us today. The fact that the bible records the good and the bad does in no way speak to Gods morality. That is childishly stupid thinking.

Actually, that was the Mosaic law for Israelites. And the term rape also covered what we call fornication. AND....if a man forced himself on a woman, the woman was usually the one demanding restitution through marriage, as all women wanted families and no one would have a woman who had been taken sexually. Try to understand that your pathetic grasp on the world and culture is extremely lacking, and move on, God hater and ignoramous

look at the explanation below. It was the woman who wanted restitution through marriage, as no other man would have her after she had been taken sexually, and all women wanted a family. What you are, sir, is a shite starter and a God hater who has no interest in learning, truth or anything else constructive. Your pretty much a waste of skin. What's that like, hmmmmm, stinkums?

Thomas Eshuis
So you can't figure out the cont xt if the sentence due to two words out of place... Sad and makes you look ignorant.

I'm not blindly accusing anyone of not understanding.
You truly do not understand it.

It had been presented earlier by myself and others, go back and read Tommy.

Again it's not blind dismissal Tommy, and until you type your posts exactly perfect then don't hack on others for their typos.
Fact is....you don't understand it.

How am I asking others to do my work for me?
You're asking me to repost things that were already posted.
I'm not here to do your work for you.

Your post is typical of a troll using ad hominem attacks and insults to deflect off topic.
You falsely accuse me of things that I am not doing and pretend to not understand the context of a question....
You are not hear to debate but to call out names and be a child.
You clearly haven't a clue about the meaning of the Bible nor the section of which we are talking about.
This is what happens when you come in late to a debate.
You miss everything put forth earlier and make yourself look a fool.

No God is absolutely and definitely powerful enough to command His people to do anything.
But then free will goes out the window.

//What possible justification can there be for GOD to allow people to kill there children for 400 years before he punishes them? All the while knowing that they wouldn't heed the warning?//

I don't know, Graham. Maybe things now could be far worse, had he not done so. That's at least possible.

//And murdering babies is an necessary part of that. Really?//

Possbily, Faizal. For all we know, far worse evils could have come about had he not.
