Forces of Evil - Bilal Philips #1

This profound presentation discusses Evil in our world from its origin, how it affects us at the present, and what could result from it in the future. People who believe in God turn away from that belief. How? When personal tragedy strikes, people try to find reason and rhymes to their tragedy, and often times end up rejecting God. Do you know someone who has made this mistake?

It is commonly misunderstood that Satan became a disbeliever because of his disobedience of Allah. If so, does any type of disobedience make you a disbeliever? Then what of Adam, who also disobeyed God? Is he a disbeliever? What exactly brings one to disbelief?

If God is so powerful, why does evil exist? Why is there so much emphasis on Evil rather than Good? Does pleasure in this life necessarily coincide with punishment in the next? Why are some prone to suffering while others are untouched?
This discussion presents the concept of Evil and how one can deal with it realistically.

@jopmaseh but in the trinity. it states God is three in one. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. so, technically Christians believe Jesus IS God. Was Jesus praying to a part of himself? and doesnt this prostration mentioned in the bible show him to be a weak being? how can any part of GOD be perceived to be weak since God is the Almightly? It makes logical sense to see Jesus as a prophet rather than a part of God. His supplication was that of a prophet to God and NOT of GOd to Himself. . . . .

ELH is the most merciful with compassion, vengeance, and jealousy? Evil is what brings 3D life to death. Whoever murders someone, especially for religion; would be officially evil. Do you know why? Because murdering someone because of religion, feeds into atheism which was thought up by Satan. This also furthers the concealment of spiritual knowledge of ascension. Ascension is God's plan and hindering ascension is satanic in nature, because a denier of God is a denier of God's plan.

There isn't one single unambiguous statement in the Bible that Jesus (pbuh) claimed divinity.

[BrotherOfWig]

Sorry People That Fink Jesus Is God. But There Is A Contradiction In That Statement. In The Bible It Says "And he (Jesus)  went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed..." Who Did Jesus asalam Bow Down His Head Too? God, Allah Obv Alhamdillallah

Come to the one and only true God Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died for all our sins.
