Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus



all matter is mearly energy condensed through a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, life is only a dream and we are the imaginations of ourselves. - Bill Hicks

If God is all-powerful, can he make a rock so big that he himself can't lift it? - George Carlin

My answer was intended to evoke a memory that is probably too distant for any but me.
J.B. Phillips, the author of one of the mid 20th Cent paraphrases of the New Testament wrote a book called " Your God is too small". In that book he showed how the gods that most people imagined were far short of the God as self-revealed in the Bible.

And, as asked before, why does god hate amputees? Among the vast number of miracle healings attributed to god there lies not a single instance of a re-grown limb.

J.B. Phillips . . . the guy that modernized the New Testament? Oh dear . . .

Couldn't hurt to try praying over it I guess. The ring, not the porche. I have it on good authority that god has never fixed a porche in spite of all the prayers he receives.

Yin and Yang is devoid of a moral flavor (unless you associate with the more moralistic Confucianism). Generally speaking it's associated with Taoism's sense of balance.

Sorry CLKman, I can't comment in a serious manner on bible code. To me, it's like discussing UFOs, bigfoot or the Lachness monster.

I thought that maybe someone here might know about the odds of these numeric values being in such an order to show these words. I myself doubt any validity in this code.

I was utilizing yin/yang to illustrate the oneness of God and Satan.

On the rare occasion I'm serious, all I get is foolishness. I guess I deserve it.
