If everything is God's will... then everything is also God's

   How would you know?

    Your posts are notoriously undeserving of any response, but to repeat the common responses ...

    The website you link that is supposed to show "contradictions" in the Bible does not. All it really shows is that the stories are remarkably more complicated than you appear able to grasp. How many people some "Hachmonite" (1) or other slew at "one time" or other is not necessarily going to be the same number. A small child could understand that.

    Whether people are "justified" by faith or works (2) can depend as well. The workman deserves his wages. However faith is necessary to guide which works are in the will of the divine.

    I could do the same thing for all claims of contradictions on that site, but that would be a waste of time seeing at the outset that your expectations are too simple and therefore misguided in each and every case.  Perhaps pick one you think I could not similarly dismiss.

    I suppose an argument could be made for your expectation of comprehensive data in the Bible. It could not be a very good one though. It is a small book compared for example to the history or philosophy sections of the library. It cannot contain examples of every possible scenario. It necessarily must select partial data and examples. Not being a comprehensive list of everything ever it becomes somewhat immune to your claims of "contradictions."

    The first and most important thing you need to understand about the Bible is that nowhere in it does it promise to be the comprehensive guide you seem to expect. God never promised to send any Bible. He promised to send a "prophet" (or prophets) that could be inspired on the spot of any particular development.

   Your confusion about whose will anything is also results from your mental limitations and expectations of simplicity.  You appear new to the concept of relevance and a terrible judge of it.  In some manner of speaking it "all" began with a god, but that does not mean a god could not possibly create other independent agencies whose choices were ultimately their own.  Now you may claim that such an act of creating such free agencies is the "fault" of the god, but that is not relevant.  They are in many cases and systems still held accountable for their bad choices anyway and your defense of them is wasted.

Whatever.

No, it isn't a 'Non sequitur'.

You don't make an argument about how God doesn't care about suffering without putting that suffering into the context you've created by presuming 'God'. 

IF there is 'God', death is not the end. 'God' and afterlife go together. You don't get to separate them to make a stupid point, they are inseparable. 




Perhaps there has been some culture somewhere that has professed a belief in 'God' but not in any afterlife, but I'm not aware of any. 

So your 'argument' is illogical. 

A hundred years of profound suffering would still be nothing compared with the vastness of eternity or the reality of impermanent death. 


This isn't a debate, it's simple logic.
