Evil: God loves it, you should too!

This refers ONLY to the Abrahamic God, for those of you who didn't pick up on that with the whole "omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent" thing.

@tim99uk - Your point is exegetically correct. The presumptions you make from that point onward is where you lose the foundation of exegetically contrived facts. Obviously, the Creator of all things has authority over all. What you fail to understand is the deeper concepts of the purpose of Creation, and why He allows these things to take place. Those who can't live up to their own ideals of what should and should not be are so hypocritical to criticize that which they don't understand.

@Boanerges7 The basic layout of god...all knowing creator and absolute power in all of creation would by definition be stronger than devil/evil etc etc you cant get away from that..you just cant

@muskratist - To answer your question exegetically from scripture, the answer is no, you can't take the place of another because you must give an account of your own soul. 1 man,1 soul, 1 judgement. Nowhere in scripture does it state that God drags people into heaven, against their will, kicking and screaming. So the only paradox that you will ultimately face is the eternal conscious decision you now make in defiance of what you obviously do not believe in. You could be wrong, as well...

[Boanerges7]

The presumptions of your argument make it, as you state, so easy to refute. e.g. Your highly limited definition of God is just one flaw in your perspective. Scripture clearly define a multitude of attributes that you fail to describe, such as merciful, just (THE judge), longsuffering, patient, I can go on. You are merely constructing a strawman by that fact alone. I could go on, but I think you see my point.

@oscarmarin 1995 if god allows us to suffer because thats when we are strongest for him, imagine how bad hes going to make you suffer when you get to heaven so you are even more stronger for him.

@MrMaxTruth try telling the mother who's child was raped , murdered and left in a ditch, there is a god that loves her and his will be done..
