well than messagebox are you worshiping a man god? Athena isnt neith at all two different goddesses similar powers just two different goddesses athena wasnt a mother goddesses neith is . Also there were cities protected by gods as well apollo protected troy etc... im proud to say i pray to Pallas Athena thats her real name these christians should learn more
All of the comments I see here show proof that there is a God and his son Jesus and the holy spirit or no one here would have anything to say about Jesus who died and rose thousands of years ago. Come to think about it, it's not every day that you hear a messiah gets killed and rises in 3 days. Jesus is the only messiah who is still alive today, all the other so called ( "messiah's" ) remain dead. Could it be because Jesus is God??? Something for all of you to think about.
so, either he didn't know the future or he knew the future and was complacent about humans being evil and destructive or maybe the whole book is a bunch of mythological stories that you will spend the rest of your life trying to figure out, but will just nod "yes" even when you don't understand or even agree with deep down inside. i mean, if you really believe a human lived in the belly of a fish for 40 days, then I have some snake oil to sell you - it cures everything!
And no, my question is not the same as: How come god did not force us to love him?
If you have a chemistry set, and you are the world's smartest chemistry genius, and you know that if you combine certain elements together, it will cause a chain reaction that you will not like and everything will get out of hand and become a disaster, are you still going to combine them anyways?
You went ahead and gave me the "free choice" excuse anyways.
Okay, actually if you think god did not force people to love him, then you must have never read the old testament.
what was the reason for the flood that noah built the arc for? because people were not worshipping god. what was the reason for all the plagues on the egyptians? because they didn't worship god. what was the reason for goddom and samorah? same. walls of jericho? same. everyone samson killed? same. the list goes on and on.
You ask "If God could predict the future, then why would he create humans when he knew they would eat forbidden fruit?"
What you are really asking is: How come God did not force us to love him?
God does NOT control US. We control ourselves. Just because God knew this would happen does not mean he wanted it to. Mankind has a sinful nature & needs a savior. Jesus Christ died for you because that is how much he loves us.
Interesting drybomber. Then answer me this: If god could predict the future, then why would he "create" humans, when he knew ahead of time, they would eat the forbidden fruit, kill each other, rape women and children, sin, sin, sin, and deny him, and also deny his son and then murder his son?
don't give me that "free choice" bull either. If he knew what would happen all throughout history, then we have a creator who is sadistic because he enjoys watching depravity & doing nothing about it.

YOU decide what to do, not God.

Actually, there are many prophets in the holy bible that came true believe it or not...
'Nobody can predict the future'
God can.

There are no prophets, nor prophecies, never were, never will be. Nobody can predict the future. It`s all fantasy.
