I don't know... but he lets thousands die every week... or maybe he doesn't and he would also let "someone translate and write such a big thing"

what does that even have to do with what I was saying? And yes thousands die every week, but EVERYONE dies! That's the way life is! we're here on this earth to be tested and what kind of a test would it be if everything was easy and we didn't have trials and challenges to face, either dying or having a loved one die. It's all to see how strong you are. If we didn't have life and trials and misery then how could we really enjoy and appreciate what God has to give us if we return to heaven? He doesn't just let people die. There's a point. Maybe it's their time to die and maybe he needs them for something other than being here on this earth. You need to take things like that into perspective and not blame things on God

Yes... you're right man. I used a bad example and realized as soon as I posted it. But I had to go dinner lol. My point was: If he would lift his "hand" for the bible to be written though his true word, why doesn't he stop the atrocities that are practiced every day? (I'm not trying to prove his existence\inexistence here)

What I'm trying to really say is: He may exist, I don't know... But that doesn't mean the bible has been written through his words and those words have been kept along the centuries... As someone has said, some portions of the bible were even burnt...


but yeah, it's reaaaaaally getting off topic lol =|

well he can't stop all the bad things that happen every day because people have free agency. But yeah it's ok, I'm kind of getting too carried away with this anyway. And I'm sorry if I came off sounding as though I was trying to change your beliefs or anything like that.

no, you were just defending your own beliefs, like me... This thread got to heated up anyway =\
